A new Mac app called RPLY launches today, designed to help texters achieve “inbox zero” on iMessage. Targeting those who often forget to reply and leave their friends on delivered for days, RPLY utilizes AI to identify missed texts and suggests responses to prevent users from unintentionally ghosting. The AI assistant can automatically respond to messages in a user’s inbox that have not received a reply for over 24 hours. RPLY is the brainchild of Molly Cantillon, a 21-year-old Stanford dropout who created NOX, a personalized AI assistant for iOS backed by OpenAI’s startup fund. RPLY was built to handle…

Ford CEO Jim Farley has a question about President Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China: Why stop there? Farley said in a conference call Wednesday that Trump’s selective approach “doesn’t make sense.” Why are we having this conversation while Hyundai-Kia is importing 600,000 units in the U.S. with no incremental tariff? And why is Toyota able to import a half a million vehicles in the U.S. with no incremental tariffs?” Farley questioned. If we’re going to have a tariff policy that lasts for a month, or whatever it’s going to be, years — it better…

If you’re planning to watch Super Bowl LIX on your computer, you’ve still got time to upgrade with monitor deals. For the best possible experience, you’ll want a top-quality screen like the 49-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 curved gaming monitor, which is on sale from Samsung at $300 off. From its original price of $1,700, it’s down to $1,400 — still pretty expensive, but since it’s going to serve as an excellent display long after the big game, it will be worth every single penny. You need to hurry with your purchase if you want it delivered in time though!…
If you’re a Sonos owner, I know that right now you’re probably less interested in talking about streaming services, and a lot more concerned about when (or if) the company will ever finish fixing its “new” mobile app. I wish I had something positive to share on that front, but alas, like you, I’m also waiting for the day when I can once again reliably adjust the volume on my speakers. I’m confident that day will (eventually) come, and I haven’t thrown the towel in on Sonos despite the agony of the past eight months. In the meantime, I want…

Renewables notched another win as Amazon signed contracts to buy 476 megawatts of wind and solar on the Iberian Peninsula.
