Netflix has shows and movies. And video games. And live sports. And podcasts. And also, apparently, YouTube videos? For a company that used to seem like the next big thing in TV, it all feels a little frenetic, and maybe a tad desperate. For a company that sees sleep as its primary competitor, it might […]

Sunrun is launching a pilot program for a new “distributed AI compute” program that will “place numerous compute nodes in homes […]
I love it when a company challenges itself to make a cheaper version of a beloved product. Xreal’s $299 A01 Plus is a stripped-down version of its $449 1S that’s light on features but with just enough of the 1S’ best qualities.
