    This warrants hazard pay.

    Domestic robots are beginning to enter the household, but we still have our doubts about how many might require a little teleoperation. You have to feel for the poor teleoperators though.

    If its teleoperated and I walk by it naked, is that considered indecent exposure? Or is it a occupational hazard they just have to deal with

    Oh good, another downside to killing game discs.

    With Sony ending production of PlayStation discs, one commenter points out that it confirms there’ll be no PS6 disc drive, ending backwards compatibility for physical games — though at least Microsoft is working on a fix for that.

    Another thing to consider is that you’ll have no way to playing your physical PS5 and PS4 games on the PS6. Sony will make you buy them again.

    The next bubble.

    If you loved Microsoft sticking Copilot in everything, just wait until its marketing department gets ahold of “quantum.“

    Google AI Mode is making original recipe links more prominent.

    The AI search tool will start linking directly to source recipes at the top of cooking queries, with images, ratings, and ingredient numbers. Not every food writer is happy though, since there’s still a full AI-generated recipe below the links, sometimes with opaque sourcing and errors in the instructions.

    Clicks shows off its Communicator phone in action for the first time.

    The BlackBerry-esque Communicator has a nifty homescreen based on the minimalist Niagara Android launcher, a fingerprint sensor built into the space bar, and a removable back panel that certainly hints its battery might be easy to replace. It’s still on track to ship in Q4 for $499.
