Tech company iGarden revealed several new products at CES 2025, but the TurboX and TurboX Master robotic pool cleaners were undoubtedly the most exciting. Both are designed to make pool maintenance effortless — but it’s the TurboX Master and its staggering 15-hour runtime that stood out from the rest of the iGarden lineup. The iGarden TurboX Master is expected to launch in April, and it’s poised to make waves in the robotic pool cleaner marketplace. While most products can only run for a few hours before needing a recharge, this one can clean for 15 hours before running out of…
That’s not the only thing that stands out about Scout being here, though. In a sea of screens, AI, and voice assistants, Scout is sticking to a far more classic approach with its two vehicles, the Traveler SUV and the Terra pickup. That means regular old door handles, not ones that magically pop out of the side of the car, as well as optional gas-powered range extenders on both vehicles. And it means buttons — lots of buttons — at a time when many major automakers seem to think physical toggles, levers, or knobs are passé. Scout’s not anti-tech. After…
Google searches for how to cancel and delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads accounts have seen explosive rises in the U.S. since Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company will end its third-party fact-checking system, loosen content moderation policies, and roll back previous limits to the amount of political content in user feeds. Experts see the move as an attempt to cater to the incoming Trump administration and avoid political retaliation. The consequences of Meta’s new policies could have serious implications for the types of posts, hateful and violent speech, and misinformation that can spread even faster than they already…

Finnish startup Doublepoint launched its free app, WowMouse, for the Apple Watch this week at CES 2025. The app uses the wearable’s sensors, compass, and accelerometer to turn your hand into a mouse that can control devices through hand gestures. The Apple Watch already uses a similar technology for the double tap feature it released in 2023. The watch detects micro-movements in your wrist when you tap your thumb and index finger together, and registers it as a click on your device. Doublepoint does this too – more accurately than Apple, it claims – but it also goes a step…
Video editing app Captions is looking to cash in on uncertainty around TikTok and ByteDance’s video editing app CapCut’s future in the U.S. by turning to a freemium model.
