Apple Reboots Its Smart-Home Strategy With New Hardware and a 'Home Collection'

WIRED

I got an early glimpse of Apple's biggest push into the smart home in years. Apple has lagged in the smart home race, which Amazon and Google have dominated for a decade with Alexa and Google Assistant (now Gemini), respectively. But after finally revamping Siri AI this year and turning the butt-of-the-joke voice assistant into a more competitive companion --paired with a more mature Matter-supported ecosystem of smart home gadgets--Apple now has the brains to power the home system it has always envisioned. That starts with three new devices: the Apple HomeView, the company's first smart display; the HomePod Mini 2 smart speaker; and the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K. Apple announced the products at a media-only event in New York City, and it also revealed a slew of new smart-home gadgets made in collaboration with LG and Schneider Electric, including a video doorbell, thermostats, and security cameras .

WIRED

Two years after trying to sidestep mobile apps with dedicated AI hardware, Rabbit is launching OS3, a cross-platform agent that lives on the screens you already use. Jesse Lyu doesn't think the Rabbit R1 was a flop. Lyu's gadget was among the first in the gold rush to create dedicated AI hardware that acted as a virtual assistant. You could speak into the R1 and ask it to complete tasks for you--book an Uber; order food on DoorDash. After a buzzy launch at CES 2024, it earned scathing reviews.

PC building is more fun when you have no idea what you're doing A strange little hacker gadget reminded me that confusion, failure, and experimentation were always the best parts of building computers. I don't know about you, but the whole reason I got into upgrading and building PCs is because I wanted to play . My age hadn't hit double digits by the time the game shipped on DOS in '94, but a year or two later I got my hands on a copy and realized our old family PC didn't have the chops to run id's latest. Thus began my 30+ years of PC enthusiasm, starting with me getting frustrated by memory management (death to HIMEM) and leading me here as a PCWorld veteran who can work a screwdriver and a solder gun almost as well as anyone.

Do you know your 'sweat score'? The rise of hydration tech

BBC News

Do you know your'sweat score'? One of the biggest controversies of the 2026 World Cup so far has been the hydration breaks, which - while not entirely new - are for the first time occurring twice during every match in the tournament. The breaks aren't really about hydration, some spectators say. They're just an opportunity for certain broadcasters to show more ads, they break up the natural flow of games, and are unnecessary in air conditioned stadiums. Whether or not you agree with these complaints, there's no doubt that hydration itself is an increasingly prominent point of discussion worldwide.
