This gigantic metal suitcase is perfect for portable console gaming

Posted: 08 Jan 2019 07:18 PM PST

When popular Fortnite streamer Tyler "Ninja" Blevins took a four-day break in June to attend the annual E3 video game conference in Los Angeles, he lost more than 100,000 subscribers — all because he wasn't streaming every single day that week. The channels of streamers like Ninja, and plenty of other online entertainers in the Twitch and YouTube space, basically live or die on consistency.

So with that kind of pressure to pump out daily content, GAEMS, a supplier of portable gaming set ups, decided it would make the most high-end, premium version of its product to try and alleviate some of that stress. The result is the Guardian, a massive suitcase with a built-in monitor for both gaming consoles and PCs that can be lugged around and...

This smart lock gives you five ways to unlock your door

Posted: 08 Jan 2019 07:00 PM PST

One smart lock company has attempted to outdo them all by making a smart lock that has five ways of unlocking it. Lockly's new Secure Pro smart lock is available for pre-order today for $299.99 and should ship within the next two months.

The Secure Pro has a keypad that generates numbers in random order every time you need to enter your passcode. Each input on the keypad is actually three numbers, so even if someone watches along as you tap the code in, they likely wouldn't be able to guess what you've entered.

Besides the keypad, there's a fingerprint scanner and a way to unlock through either Lockly's mobile app or through voice assistant command. And if all else fails, there's a physical lock you can open with a regular key.

The cute, programmable Misty II robot is $800 cheaper than we thought

Posted: 08 Jan 2019 06:52 PM PST

Misty Robotics, a spinoff of Sphero and the creators of the Misty programmable robot have announced that the Misty II will start shipping to its backers in April, according to TechCrunch. It will mark a four month shipping delay, as Misty originally planned to ship its robotics platform in December of last year.

The Misty II robotics platform will cost $2,399, which might sound like a costly entry fee, but that's actually an $801 price drop — the robot's original price was $3,200. At that price it's not competitive with robotics platforms like the Lego Mindstorms EV3 kit (which costs $349) as it's not intended for the average consumer just yet.

Instead, Misty is looking to employ the collective skills of STEM students, tinkerers, and...

The Lapscreen is a paper-thin 12.5-inch USB-C monitor you can take anywhere

Posted: 08 Jan 2019 06:46 PM PST

One of the big promises of USB-C has always been the potential for great accessories, and at CES 2019, those products are finally starting to materialize with things like the Lapscreen: a paper-thin 12.5-inch USB-C monitor that can run entirely off a single cable plugged into your phone or laptop.

Measuring 11.1-inches by 8.3-inches (including a rather large chin that also houses the USB-C and HDMI ports), the whole thing is roughly the size of a sheet of paper, and at 4mm thick for the display portion, it's nearly as thin as a few sheets stacked together, too. Even the chin at the bottom that houses the ports and components is incredibly slim at 8mm thick, to the point where what I assumed was one screen actually turned out to be a...

Nissan’s new Leaf goes more than 200 miles on a charge

Posted: 08 Jan 2019 05:15 PM PST

Nissan has promised a long-range version of the new Leaf ever since it updated its famous electric car back in 2017, and this week at the Consumer Electronics Show the Japanese automaker finally broke its silence. The new version of the Leaf — dubbed "Leaf e+" — will be able to travel 226 miles on a full charge, Nissan says, which is about a 40 percent improvement in range.

The new Leaf e+ will also be more powerful than its predecessors. It will be available this month in Japan for ¥4,162,320 (about $38,300), and will arrive in Europe in "mid-2019," Nissan says, where it will cost 45,500 euro (about $51,900). The Leaf e+ will come to the US in the spring, but no pricing has been announced. It will also be sold in three trim levels, two...

The world’s first foldable phone is charmingly awful

Posted: 08 Jan 2019 05:07 PM PST

The Royole FlexPai is the sort of device that companies rush out when they feel the absolute imperative to be first with some new technology. I don't blame Royole — a five-year-old company literally founded for the purpose of developing and selling flexible displays — because it faced the existential threat of Samsung coming in and stealing its thunder with a rival foldable device. So Royole hurriedly threw the FlexPai together and let the world gawk at its wondrous, foldable awfulness.

I got to grips with the FlexPai today and I was amused by how dysfunctional most of its software was. But let's talk hardware first. Measuring 7.8 inches diagonally, this is an Android tablet in its extended mode which becomes two, not just one, Android...

Tim Cook says Apple will ‘announce new services this year’

Posted: 08 Jan 2019 04:30 PM PST

We'd heard late last year that Apple might be planning to launch its long-awaited TV service in the first half of 2019, and none other than Apple CEO Tim Cook just poured some gasoline on that blaze — telling CNBC's Mad Money host Jim Cramer in an exclusive interview that the company will announce new "services" this year.

While Cook didn't say what kind of services — Cramer was asking whether Apple had any tricks up its services sleeve, including healthcare or mobile payments — it's the long-awaited TV service that has recently seen all the pieces fall into place.

Here at CES 2019, there's been a series of surprise announcements from TV manufacturers that are suddenly...

Riding in Daimler’s new semi-autonomous big rig

Posted: 08 Jan 2019 04:09 PM PST

In 2015, Daimler told the world it was building the world's first self-driving semi truck. It pulled out all the stops for the big reveal of the prototype, debuting the truck on top of the Hoover Dam in the middle of the night and renting out Las Vegas Motor Speedway to offer test rides. This week at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show, Daimler is back with the near-final production version of that truck, and we got to take another ride.

Over the last three years, Daimler has taken the technology and the ideas that were in that prototype truck and worked them into the latest version of the Freightliner Cascadia, one of the company's most popular trucks. More importantly, Daimler says it's ready to put the truck into production this...

Whirlpool’s smart oven uses AR to assist your baking

Posted: 08 Jan 2019 03:22 PM PST

Whirlpool's new smart oven concept uses augmented reality to show you where to place your croissants and pizza. It's called the Whirlpool Connected Hub Wall Oven, and the AR aspect makes it a little bit unique within the smart oven category.

The oven has a 27-inch transparent LCD display on its front door, which you can use to pull up recipes. Once you select a recipe, the screen will tell you to gather the necessary ingredients and then display where to place food on the racks. In the demo I got to see, the oven suggested placing salmon on a top rack and asparagus on the bottom so that both items would be well-cooked at the same time.

AR comes into play in a couple of ways here, although it doesn't look as impressive as...

Twitter will begin a public test of new features in the coming weeks

Posted: 08 Jan 2019 03:22 PM PST

A few months ago, Twitter announced that it had begun testing new features to promote healthy conversations on the platform. Now, these changes will be rolling out to a test group of users in the coming weeks, according to Engadget.

Twitter first demonstrated these features to The Verge in October. Presence indicators that show when a user is online and "ice breaker" tweets to promote discussion are among the changes that Twitter is planning to test. Slack-like status updates that appear next to user avatars also look like they will be included in the public test.

All of these changes are part of Twitter's initiative to help foster positive interactions among users and cut down on hate speech and abuse on the platform. The changes won't...
