Timex has announced a partnership with Pison, a technology company that makes a brain-tracking, neural-sensing platform for wearables, and it intends to integrate it into a new range of products coming early this year. It may also be setting the stage for a new smartwatch powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5 processor. Understanding Pison’s sensor and algorithm is essential to understanding what the future Timex products will offer. Pison’s electroneurography (ENG) platform measures physiological electricity originating from your brain using a skin biosensor, which when combined with AI-powered software algorithms, can provide insights into mental health, sleep, sports performance, and brain…

Best Buy often has some great gaming PC deals, with one highlight available today: Right now, you can buy the iBuyPower Trace 7 gaming PC for $1,000 instead of $1,300. The PC includes the RTX 4060 GPU, so it’s ideal for mid-range gaming. It even comes with a keyboard and mouse, so you only need to make sure you have a screen to add to it. If you’re looking to upgrade your gaming PC for less, here’s what it has to offer. You won’t see anything from iBuyPower in our look at the best gaming PCs, but don’t let that…
Google Cloud released its new Automotive AI Agent on Monday and has named the Mercedes-Benz CLA as the first car model to offer it later this year. The Agent will enable Mercedes’ MBUX Virtual Assistant to perform a wider array of conversational functions with the vehicle’s passengers. We got our first look at Mercedes’ next generation assistant a year ago, at CES 2024, though the company did not reveal which large language model underpinned its capabilities at the time. This new assistant differs from the existing MBUX that can activate around two dozen in-car commands and provide information sourced from…
With just 13 minutes remaining on the countdown clock at Cape Canaveral in Florida early on Monday morning, the decision was taken to stand down to give engineers a chance to troubleshoot “a vehicle subsystem issue.” The three-hour launch window opened at 1 a.m. ET, but after pausing and restarting the clock multiple times over the next couple of hours, the decision was finally taken to suspend launch operations at around 3 a.m. ET. A new schedule has yet to be set. The NG-1 mission will carry the Blue Ring Pathfinder payload, which will test key technologies for the upcoming…
I admit it: Even though my job means I’m supposed to be laser-focused on sound quality, usability, value for money, and durability, every now and then, I see an audio product that I want to own simply because it looks awesome. That was my reaction at CES 2025 when I laid eyes on Fiio’s KA15 — a tiny mobile headphone DAC/amp that sells for $110 (though as of today’s date, ). Specs-wise, this little all-aluminum, baby blue and silver gadget — which also comes in a much more serious Midnight Black color — covers everything you could want in a headphone…
SpaceX is delaying the seventh launch of its Starship megarocket by 48 hours. The delay means that SpaceX will now attempt to fly the 120-meter-tall rocket on Wednesday, January 15. Check out this page for full details on how to watch a live stream of the seventh Starship test flight. The Elon Musk-led spaceflight company dropped news of the delay on X, but declined to share a reason. It could be down to poor weather conditions, or perhaps a technical issue that needs to be resolved prior to liftoff. The Starship, which comprises the first-stage Super Heavy booster and upper-stage…
Why do well-intentioned leaders always seem to become the very thing they sought to rebel against? Is violence inseparable from power? How many bodies must stack up to achieve peace? Don’t expect Dynasty Warriors: Origins to offer any insight. That shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has played Omega Force’s long-running adaptation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a foundational Chinese novel. While the hack-and-slash series has its roots in real Chinese history, Dynasty Warriors mostly sees that politically dense subject matter as a goldmine of war set pieces and historical melodrama. That’s allowed the series to thrive…
