9+ min ago (266+ words) Blink is bringing a dose of AI to its security cameras with no increase in costs, making it the best deal I've seen for this feature. Blink's new video descriptions are a welcome add-on that's an especially good deal."

The outdoor model in particular is one of my favorites. That's why I was glad to see that, starting today, Blink is rolling out new video descriptions to users."

They're advanced algorithms that condense video clips into a brief explanation to save you time and hassle when you receive alerts that your camera captured…...

10+ min ago (463+ words) UPDATED 20:35 EST / DECEMBER 08 2025 U.S. President Donald Trump said today on social media that he will allow Nvidia Corp. to sell its H200 graphics processing units to "approved customers in China, reversing a policy that had previously prohibited the product from being shipped to the country. According to Trump, Nvidia rivals such as Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Intel Corp. and "other great American companies will also be allowed to sell similar chips to some customers in China. He added that the Department of Commerce is currently "finalizing the details of the agreement, which will likely still restrict some Chinese entities from doing business with the chipmakers. The decision by Trump partially brings to an end a long-running ban on the shipment of higher-end processors to China, and it's very likely that money played a big role in it. Trump said on Truth Social…...

12+ min ago (506+ words) Published Dec 8, 2025 3:33 PM EST Tesla's Optimus humanoid robots still need plenty of help from a human teleoperator who's hidden from view. During a flashy event on a Hollywood movie studio lot in October 2024, for instance, an army of bipedal robots could be seen pouring drinks and conversing with eventgoers " a stunt that turned out to heavily rely on a team of off-camera pilots with remote controls. Now, a new video has surfaced on social media that perfectly " and comedically " illustrates how far Tesla still is from fully automating its humanoid robot's movements, despite trying its best to sell the illusion. The footage, recorded at Tesla's "Autopilot technology and Optimus" event at its Miami store this weekend, shows a robot standing behind a table littered with plastic water bottles when it suddenly raises its hands to its temples, losing its balance…...

17+ min ago (189+ words) We're expecting Motorola to come with its next-gen G Stylus next year, and it looks like the rumors are already on it. Motorola typically reveals its next mid-range device toward the spring, and it looks like its design might've surfaced online early. Supposedly, Motorola is interested in equipping the phone with an "eco-leather" material on its back panel, rather than glass. This material rolls over that camera housing for a seamless aesthetic. They'll likely struggle a little with the FPS in more intense mobile games, but they can get the job done in other areas. This is where Moto's G Stylus usually takes things up a little, at least, chip-wise. The 2025 version included the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, which was good at running games, but, as previously stated, mid-range chips often falter slightly with more graphically intense games. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 was…...

18+ min ago (777+ words) The expansion of data centers'to power the AI boom has more people wondering: what exactly is in a data center? AFP got a chance to take a look at what is inside. " Concrete warehouse " Data centers are the physical infrastructure that make our digital lives possible, yet most people have never seen one up close or understand how they operate. Roughly 12,000 data centers are in operation in the world, with about half in the US, according to Cloudscene, a data center directory. At its most basic, a data center is a concrete warehouse filled with thousands of computer servers working in tandem. Traditional facilities span one or two floors divided into vast rooms, though newer ones rise higher. A facility may serve a single company or be shared by several clients. The servers sit in standardized 19-inch (48 cm) racks " essentially metal…...

19+ min ago (692+ words) As a tech obsessed tragic, a large part of the time I'm not writing articles about gadgets, I spend reading articles about gadgets. So it's always a bit frustrating when I see something cool being launched somewhere else in the world if it doesn't end up being sold here. I get it. With a population of fewer than 6 million, the whole of New Zealand is a smaller market than most major cities. Still, if we don't have access to more than one or two brands of a certain product, we can easily be held hostage, price-wise. So I was surprised, fascinated and excited to see HONOR set up shop here a couple of weeks ago. At the Auckland launch event, HONOR confirmed two phones, a tablet, a smartwatch and earbuds would all be hitting kiwi shelves in plenty of time…...
