You can play more than darts on this electronic dartboard.

Pixeldarts features a screen that can detect where its electronic suction cup darts stick for automatic scoring, but it also allows other games to be played, including one with paint splashes that’s reminiscent of Splatoon. It can be preordered through Kickstarter for $220, while full pricing is expected to be closer to $399, with shipping expected in June 2025.

Hello Moto AI.

Motorola is opening up its AI beta program to the public. Starting today, anyone with a 2024 Motorola Razr, Razr Plus, or the Edge 50 Ultra can opt into the open beta and test out three new features: recording transcripts and summaries, a Pixel Screenshots-esque recall feature, and summaries of recent notifications. Maybe my “flip phone as an AI wearable” concept has legs after all.

Samsung shuffle.

The company is rearranging the deck chairs on the C-level after falling behind SK Hynix and TSMC in its memory and foundry chip businesses. The move should also better position the chaebol in the event that its grand-nepo-baby leader Jay Y. Lee has to serve yet another prison term.

Bluesky won’t use your posts for AI training, but can it stop anyone else?

Today, a Hugging Face employee published data from 1 million Bluesky posts scraped from its API to the AI repository. He’s removed it and apologized, but 404 Media notes the set was “trending” all day.

Bluesky says it’s looking into ways to “specify consent (or not) for AI training.” but acknowledges that “It will be up to outside developers to respect these settings.”
