It’s a super-advanced eye tracker that makes what Samsung slapped into the Galaxy S4 look like a pile of garbage....

Just like all the IoT devices out there, one needs to download the Jonas smartphone app and connect the umbrella with the smartphone via Bluetooth. The LED lights on the umbrella handle notify the users about the weather and the red light on the device indicates that it will rain on that particular day while the green one hints at a clear sky. We have all forgotten our umbrellas at some point of our lives and this smart umbrella is set to change this by notifying the users when it is 10 meters apart from the smartphone....

Earlier this month, some Pixel 3 owners discovered that turning off Digital Wellbeing on their phone helped improve its performance dramatically. Due to the barrage of positive reports, Google conducted its own research and says that it has not found any performance issues with Digital Wellbeing.

The company is working on rolling out these improvements to its Pixel devices....

It’s already rolled out incredible deals on its own line of tech, along with Apple products and items you didn’t know you wanted or needed.

The pair were inspired to do so by the apparent success of a four-year, cross-industry trial in Iceland, which led to higher productivity amongst the 2,500 workers involved and lower rates of burnout.

According to The Korea Times, Samsung will supply Google with “high-end OLED screens for Google Glass.” The Korean publication says Google might release Glass by the end of this year, but I have high doubts that’s going to be the case.

People often see my last name and wonder where I’m from. The answer is Romania. I left as a small child though, so I don’t really remember much, but that’s besides the point.

In case you’ve somehow managed to avoid it thus far, pickleball is a cross between tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. Played with plastic rackets and something like a whiffle ball on what resembles a scaled-down tennis court, it’s gentler than tennis and more accessible for beginners. It also stokes frenzied competition. How do I know? Two decades ago my dad moved into a house with a pickleball court. Technically the court was on a municipal utility easement that abutted the property, but there it stood, singularly attached to Dad’s backyard....
