Just a few years ago, getting a security camera to keep an eye on your kids or pets while you aren't home would've been pretty expensive. This tiny little thing can be placed anywhere inside your home, as long as it's close enough to an outlet for plugging in. Whether you're placing it on a bookcase shelf, near your TV, or on a nightstand, the Arlo Essential camera can capture most of any room thanks to its large 130-degree field of view and high-def 2560 1440 resolution. Even during the night, this camera will capture great-quality video, making it ideal for keeping an eye on your sleeping baby or watching out for burglars. Since it works with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, and IFTTT, you can integrate the camera with your local smart home setup and do things like pull up the video feed on your smart screen.

The first few days of the year are typically sleepy for deals -- and 2025 is proving no different. Since most Black Friday sale prices have expired, big ticket items are back to full price, but we found a few new discounts on smaller tech and accessories from brands we recommend, like Anker, Sony, Amazon Echo and JBL. You can get an Anker charging station for 40 percent off and pick up the Apple Watch Series 10 for 329, a return to its all-time low. An Amazon Echo display is also selling for close to a record low. Here are the best tech deals from this week that you can still get today.

Game development is an expensive and time-consuming business. Right now, 2,000 people are working on the next instalment in Ubisoft's blockbuster Assassin's Creed series, across 18 studios around the globe, and it's a project that will take 2 to 3 years. Imagine how any of those people might feel to learn that last year, a self-taught programmer racked up nearly 280,000 from a series of games he made while sitting in his pants on hot days in a two-bedroom flat in Harlesden. And that each one took him about 30 minutes. "The first one, I'll be honest, probably took seven or eight hours," says TJ Gardner.

Artificial intelligence has developed a treatment for an aggressive form of cancer in just 30 days and demonstrated it can predict a patient's survival rate using doctors' notes. The breakthroughs were performed by separate systems, but show how the powerful technology's uses go far beyond the generation of images and text. University of Toronto researchers worked with Insilico Medicine to develop potential treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using an AI drug discovery platform called Pharma. HCC is a form of liver cancer, but the AI discovered a previously unknown treatment pathway and designed a'novel hit molecule' that could bind to that target. The system, which can also predict survival rate, is the invention of scientists from the University of British Columbia and B.C. Cancer, who found the model is 80 percent accurate.

A robot that can jump over 100 times its own height could leap over challenging terrain on the moon and explore the rocky surface more quickly than a wheeled rover, say researchers. Elliot Hawkes at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and his colleagues developed a robot just 30 centimetres tall that can leap to a height of 32.9 metres powered by a carbon fibre sprung skeleton. Hawkes says that the maximum jumping height of animals is limited by the work their muscles can produce in a single stroke. But the new robot uses a tiny motor to tension its springs over many rotations. It jumps only when it has stored a large amount of energy.

A scientist has built a Rubik's cube that can solve itself. The toy, which has a 3D-printed robotic core, creepily completes its own iconic puzzle in just 30 seconds. Containing two internal servo motors, the entire system runs on a micro-controlling Arduino board which is small enough to fit inside the original product's dimensions. The new incarnation of the game, which first launched in 1974, is the product of Japanese creator and YouTube vlogger the'human controller'. Uploading footage of his creation, last month, the impressive scenes - which show the cube flipping and self-rotating - has already racked-up nearly 500,000 views.

You've probably been told that the singularity is coming. It is that long-awaited point in time -- likely, a point in our very near future -- when advances in artificial intelligence lead to the creation of a machine (a technological form of life?) smarter than humans. If Ray Kurzweil is to be believed, the singularity will happen in 2045. If we throw our hats in with Louis Rosenberg, then the day will be arriving a little sooner, likely sometime in 2030. MIT's Patrick Winston would have you believe that it will likely be a little closer to Kurzweil's prediction, though he puts the date at 2040, specifically.

Dash Charge – a feature first introduced in the OnePlus 3 – also features in the 5T, allowing the device to gain a day's power in just 30 minutes of charging, even while using GPS of games One of the key new features in the OnePlus 5T is facial recognition, known as Face Unlock, which has been added to the OxygenOS operating system. Dash Charge – a feature first introduced in the OnePlus 3 – also features in the 5T, allowing the device to gain a day's power in just 30 minutes of charging, even while using GPS or games. The OnePlus 5T is available in both Slate Grey and Midnight Black, with 64GB and 128GB versions. It will be available in the US and in Europe from November 21, with prices starting from £499/$499/€499. The OnePlus 5T is available in both Slate Grey and Midnight Black, with 64GB and 128GB versions.

It could be the perfect gadget for those who like to share their doodles. Engineers have developed a pocket-sized robot that can recreate sketches on paper just as they were originally drawn, allowing them to be sent all over the world. The Line-us robot, which its designers say works like an extension of the human hand, has raised £39,000 in just 30 hours on a crowd funding site. It requires a 5V dc 1A from a USB battery, power supply or computer via a micro-USB. It can support a pen with a diameter of up to 10mm.
