Meta announced on Tuesday that it will no longer employ fact checkers to moderate content, and instead rely on an army of volunteer users.

Facebook, Instagram, and Threads are ditching third-party fact-checkers in favor of a Community Notes program inspired by X, according to an announcement penned by Meta’s new Trump-friendly policy chief Joel Kaplan. Meta is also moving its trust and safety teams from California to Texas.
“We’ve seen this approach work on X – where they empower their community to decide when posts are potentially misleading and need more context, and people across a...

Narwal, the company behind our favorite mopping robot, just announced a new flagship robovac called the Flow that’s capable of cleaning closer to walls and corners. The Flow comes with a track-driven mop pad that extends to reach the edge of walls, while also using dual water tanks to keep the mop clean and remove dirty water.
It sounds similar to the extending, self-cleaning roller mop we saw on Ecovacs’ Deebot X8 Omni Pro robovac. The Flow comes with an anti-tangle...

I wanted to love Shokz’s OpenFit 2, the company’s latest open-ear wireless earbuds debuting here at CES 2025. While Shokz made several improvements to the overall design and function, the sound can still be a tad hollow.
I tried the OpenFit Air a few months back, and they ticked off almost everything I was looking for in a pair of open-ear running buds. While not...

Under new rules announced last year, all cars sold in the US will need to come with automatic emergency braking by 2029. But automakers are asking for a delay, saying the technology isn’t good enough, especially in adverse conditions.
Here’s Goodyear to the rescue. The tire company teamed up with TNO, an independent research organization based in the Netherlands, to produce a tire embedded with sensors that can detect slick, dangerous road conditions and can also...

May Mobility, an autonomous vehicle operator that mainly focuses on long-term transportation contracts, is expanding its fleet of vehicles to include an electric mini-bus that can carry up to 30 passengers.
The Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company struck a deal with Tecnobus to acquire several of the Italian company’s mini-buses. With enough capacity for 30 people, as well as wheelchair accessibility, May Mobility hopes to expand it self-driving mobility service to...

For CES this year, Segway ditched the goofy self-balancing pods and paintball-shooting go-karts and got back to basics.
The Ninebot-owned brand, once known for its pioneering self-balancing scooters, is reintroducing a pair of e-bikes (both first announced last year) with additional information on pricing and ordering. And it’s also rolling out its next-generation lineup of kick scooters, with more powerful drivetrains and rugged,...
The Netgear Orbi 870 three-pack in black. | Image: Netgear
Netgear just announced the Orbi 870, a new Wi-Fi 7 mesh system that joins its now-three-tier lineup of Wi-Fi 7 mesh routers. It’s pricey like the others, but at $1,299.99 for a three-pack, it’s a full thousand dollars cheaper than the next kit up, the quad-band Orbi 970.
Netgear says a three-pack of Orbi 870s can cover up to 9,000 square feet with Wi-Fi, though, as with all routers, that number depends heavily on both...

Jackery is expanding its lineup of energy products for home use and outdoor adventures at CES 2025 with the launch of its new Solar Roof tiles, a mid-sized solar generator, and a high-powered charger for vans, pickups, and RVs that can keep its giant portable batteries at the ready.
Most interesting is the Solar Roof built around...

The social networking giant will stop using third-party fact checkers and instead rely on users to add notes or corrections to posts. It is likely to please the Trump administration.

These teams should pick up the phone if Tyreek is on the block.
Just in case coaching changes around the NFL weren’t enough for Black Monday, we also have the possibility of an emerging Tyreek Hill trade. The Dolphins wide receiver didn’t mince his words on Sunday about wanting out of Miami, and now he’s seemingly saying goodbye to the city on social media.
