The Sleep Device That Uses RADAR to Read Your Body

Peace, man. | Image: Anker Anker's SleepLab speaker promises to track and enhance sleep without a wearable. It uses millimeter-wave radar (60GHz) blasting from your nightstand to track micro-movements in your chest and body to continuously monitor your heart rate and breathing to enhance whatever sleep stage you're in.

How Sonos Came Back From the BRINK

Today, I’m talking with Tom Conrad, the CEO of Sonos. Tom and I have known each other for a long time — he was the chief technology officer of Pandora, VP of product at Snap, and the chief product officer of Quibi. He was also on the board at Sonos during its disastrous 2024 app redesign that threatened to crash the entire brand.  Tom took over as interim CEO to right the ship during that period, and then took the permanent role just about a year ago. As you’ll hear him say, he thinks Sonos is f

This Tiny Steadycam Has a Removable Action Cam — and It's GENIUS

Hohem is trying something new with its Eyepic handheld stabilized camera to differentiate it from existing offerings from companies like DJI and Insta360. At its core, the camera is functionally similar to devices like the Osmo Pocket 4 and Insta360 Luna Ultra with a rotating preview screen and a small camera module stabilized by a three-axis gimbal. But the Eyepic borrows an idea popularized by recent action cams by letting you detach the magnetic camera module and use it as a tiny standalone c

Apple's New CEO Is a Hardware Guy — Here's What People DEMAND He Do

Apple’s new CEO John Ternus wrote “hello” in his first X post on Tuesday after taking the helm from former CEO Tim Cook, and his replies were immediately inundated with with requests for products and product design changes.

I Just Touched a Phone That Shouldn't EXIST Yet

Cast your mind back a decade or so, and smartphone makers were obsessed with shrinking the bezel on phones. Screens got bigger, the black bars around them got smaller, and for a while it looked like truly edge-to-edge displays were imminent. Then, progress just stopped. The bezel shrunk down until it was a millimeter or so on every side, on just about every phone, and phone manufacturers seemed to agree as one that this was probably far enough.

Nvidia's Free Tool Turns Your IDLE Computer Into Something Powerful

Nvidia is announcing its new Personal AI Router (PAIR), a free tool that syncs up your home computers for tackling local AI inference tasks with tools like Ollama and LM Studio.

Moto Watch Ultra Brings Wear OS BACK From the Dead
