Anker’s discounted 2-in-1 USB-C cable is a great way to spend $15

I’ll never stop gushing about 2-in-1 USB-C cables. They’re really nice to have because, at this point, I’ve amassed so many devices that charge via USB-C. It’s also common for more than one to need to be recharged at a time, which is where they come in handy. I can charge my Nintendo Switch 2 and work-issued MacBook Air, or my Google Pixel 9 Pro and Kindle, without taking up more than one port on the power adapter. A couple of models that offer up to 140W passthrough charging speeds are currently matching their lowest price to date — including Anker’s braided option, which is available from Amazon and Anker in black or white starting at $14.99 ($3 off). If you don’t mind paying a bit more for a slightly longer cable, Native Union’s recycled 6.5-foot Belt Cable, which features an animal-free leather strap, is down to $23.99 ($6 off) in black or a zebra-like pattern directly from the manufacturer .

Dyson put someone else’s motor in its robot vacuum

Dyson’s newest robot vacuum adds mopping capabilities but takes away the Dyson motor of its predecessor. | Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge Dyson, a company built on engineering high-speed motors, has confirmed to The Verge that its newest robot vacuum doesn't use a Dyson motor. The recently launched Spot & Scrub Ai robot vacuum and mop was "co-engineered," Nathan Lawson McLean, senior design manager at Dyson, told The Verge . According to Lawson McLean, the device merges "new and already existing Dyson technologies with other platforms." Specifically, the new lidar-based navigation tech and the robot's vacuum motor were developed by a third party. "It's not one of our V10 motors; it's one of our partner technologies," said Lawson McLean. "It's not one of our V10 motors, it's … Read the full story at The Verge. from The Verge https://ift.tt/DPxaSqM

Meta lost 20 million users last quarter

Meta is planning to pump billions more into AI investments this year, despite noting that millions of users have seemingly started to abandon its platforms. In an earning call on Wednesday , Meta reported that figures for "Family daily active people" - the term Meta has coined for all collective users of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, or Messenger - declined by 20 million this quarter compared to the previous three months. Meta attributes this fall to "internet disruptions in Iran, as well as a restriction on access to WhatsApp in Russia ." It's up to you whether you take Meta on its word, given that by bundling the user stats together across … Read the full story at The Verge. from The Verge https://ift.tt/nGc16jW

DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 is a better camera in every respect

The Osmo Pocket 4 is no reinvention; it looks just like the Pocket 3. First they came for the drones, and now the vlogging cameras. DJI's Osmo Pocket 4 is the first of its compact steadicams not to launch in the US, following a string of DJI drones also missing the US market. The good news for American buyers is that the Pocket 4 is mostly an evolutionary upgrade, and there's little it does that the Pocket 3 doesn't (it looks like the rumored dual-lens Pro version will be more of a reinvention). The good news for everyone else is that those evolutions run throughout the Pocket 4, from the camera sensor to the controls. That makes this an unmistakable improvement over the previous generation. DJI Osmo Pocket … Read the full story at The Verge. from The Verge https://ift.tt/OvI9rEa
