Martinez, California, is about as far as you can get from Silicon Valley and still be in the San Francisco Bay Area. Perched on the northeast edge of the bay, the small city is home to Hello Robot, a startup that itself is about as far as one can get from the maximalist promises of its robotics rivals 45 miles south. Hello Robot released the fourth iteration of its home assistance robot, Stretch, last month. And you might stretch to call it a humanoid robot. While Stretch boasts a vaguely human torso and sensor-studded head, its telescoping arm has a…

The luxury pet market has changed significantly in recent years. Pet owners no longer focus only on stylish collars, designer beds, or premium food.

From custom nutrition plans to breed insights and health reports, technologies based on cat DNA analysis are becoming part of modern pet care culture. This shift fits naturally into the lifestyle and wellness space. Modern consumers increasingly view pets as family members and invest in products and experiences that reflect care, individuality, and…

Gong and other scholars have been issuing warnings about the security vulnerabilities of AI agents for a while. They publish papers and blog posts detailing exploits such as indirect prompt injection, which involves hijacking agents using commands hidden in websites, emails, or other seemingly anodyne data sources. Compared with these techniques, the Meta hack was practically mindless. The only complication that hackers had to overcome was using a VPN that matched the true account owner’s location; then they directly asked the support agent to change the account’s email address, and it complied. Meta has not commented publicly on how this…

In May and June of most years, NASA satellites typically begin to detect large numbers of wildland fires throughout the Top End and Arnhem Land regions of Australia’s Northern Territory. On some days, especially in the afternoon, the blazes can resemble sizable wildfires in satellite imagery, spreading widely and producing expansive smoke plumes. That was the case when NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this image of smoke and fires on the afternoon of May 28, 2026. Often, however, fires burning in this area look smaller and less imposing. In the mornings just a few days earlier and later, for instance, NASA…

The container housing a kitchen and bar is already in place on the eastern boundary of the cricket ground in Eaton Road, Hove, replacing a temporary stand. Neighbours in Palmeira Avenue whose homes back onto the cricket ground opposed a planning application for the container as their back gardens are just metres away from the food outlet. Enough lodged objections to get the application heard by Brighton and Hove City Council’s planning committee on Wednesday, June 3. But in the end, councillors voted it through without debate. A report to the committee said the new outlet did not increase the number of…

World Environment Day 2026 has climate change at the top of the list of priorities, once again and tech has become one of the most talked about aspects of that discussion. When people think of AI they often think chatbots and image generators. European businesses are using the technology for something less visible. They are using it for ocean mapping, carbon management and environmental monitoring projects that once demanded huge amounts of manual labour. Sasha Rubel, Head of Public Policy for Generative AI at AWS, believes the discussion has entered a different stage. She said, “The conversation around AI and…

Waymo announced a deal with an energy storage company called B2U to use retired robotaxi batteries to serve electricity grids in California and Texas. The deal helps answer the question of how Waymo is thinking about the end-of-life treatment of the thousands of robotaxis it has deployed around the United States. Almost all of those are currently Jaguar I-Pace EVs, though the company has recently started deploying a limited number of vans built by Chinese automaker Zeekr. Waymo said the partnership will involve the deployment of “hundreds of megawatts of storage capacity” but did not offer any further specifics. B2U…

Digital wallet app Cash App is launching a new gadget on Thursday, seemingly inspired by the social media trend that involves paying for items in the real world with a tap of a homemade magic wand, which hides a tap-and-pay credit card. Now, there’s a real wand you can buy to take part. The company’s $25 wand is part of its new NFC-powered tag hardware lineup, which Cash App plans to expand to include more form factors in the coming months. The company said that its tags are linked to the Cash App Card and would work at outlets compatible…
