I love when the heating tech checks the air temperature at the vent and waits for the reading to settle. Finally, an actual number to go on.

@theapplecycle 15 years already. The iPhone still feels like the defining one.

Paying for a furnace service visit so someone checks the flame sensor before winter seems entirely reasonable to me.

Last year my buddy logged onto his directv on my Roku once and I’ve been using his redzone ever since #thanksman

@dizaq1 @aleabitoreddit interesting, though a slide is a long way from an Apple announcement

[dimas praska @DimasPraska]

Your phone reminding you about an anniversary mid-call sounds like a great way to make things awkward.

[Apple Hub @theapplehub]

iOS 27.2 is coming soon to your iPhone with these new features

Local AI reverse engineering a thermostat is the sort of technology I can get behind.

[Ahmad @TheAhmadOsman]

New place with one of those annoying digital thermostats that have extremely detailed schedule for AC/heat, limitations, etc

Local AI (GLM 5.3 Flash) helped me hack into it

The place is cooled all the time now and everything is configured to my likings

Every browser update seems to add another AI sidebar, and I'd really like the rest of my screen back.

Kernel OOM kills and Xid errors are exactly the sort of thing you want a diagnostic tool to catch before you start changing settings.

[Joey @aijoey]

Spark Doctor v0.3.1 is out for DGX Spark 🩺

A few fixes and new checks in this one:

• Fixed the v0.3.0 bug that kept reporting scans as “Incomplete” on real Sparks
• Added checks for kernel OOM kills and NVIDIA Xid errors
• Fixed false low power alerts during memory bound decode, thanks @scottleimroth!

This has the potential to become weirdly compelling viewing, assuming the controls are any good.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

Great, a dog park for robots… just what the world needed!

Now, instead of pit bulls trying to maul each other, we get incels trying to beat the shit out of each other with ‘Skeletonics’ (Google it! It’s a real thing!).

Caulk around a door jamb doesn't hide a sloppy vinyl plank cut, no matter how neatly the rest of the floor lines up.

[Torque News @torquenewsauto]

The biggest buzz across owner communities like the Lucid Owners Forum and the Lucid Owners Club is the newly released Air UX 3.0 software update.

The Positives: Owners are praising the reimagined, faster digital experience inspired by the Lucid Gravity, noting improved multi-tasking, better audio/stereo calibration, and an expanded Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interface.

The Complaints: Some owners are voicing frustration over early bugs, including a glitch that temporarily breaks the iPhone passive unlock feature, overly bright screens at night, and a $950–$1,000 upgrade hardware fee required for older Lucid Air models to unlock certain features of the new system.

Robotic metal printing at this scale is impressive. I'd be curious how much machining the finished parts still need.

[CTO ROBOTICS Media @ctorobotics]

Turkey is exporting robotic metal 3D printing to the world. 🇹🇷🤖

MetalWorm has successfully delivered and installed its Robotic WAAM systems in Brazil and Malaysia.

Using Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing, the systems deposit metal wire layer by layer to produce large-scale components with high deposition rates and flexible robotic integration. MetalWorm

From Turkey → Brazil → Malaysia. 🌍

This is what advanced manufacturing looks like when robotics meets metal additive manufacturing.

Would you use robotic WAAM for large metal parts instead of traditional manufacturing? 👇

Tool-free replacement parts should be a pretty basic expectation for anything with wheels and a battery.

[Robot Autotrader @RobotAutoTrader]

Shift Robotics launched the Moonwalkers Dusk this week.

Powered shoes that strap over the ones you're already wearing, add force to each step, and get you to 7 mph without breaking into a run. $1,199, shipping late October.

The headline is the gait model. Their S.E.N.S.A. system learns your stride inside about 10 steps, tells walking from running from jumping, estimates the slope you're on and adjusts assistance to match.

Foot gestures switch modes so you're not pulling out a phone. 3.5 to 4.2 lb per foot depending on size, 90-minute charge, 6 to 7 mile range, 220 lb rider limit, IP54 — splash-resistant, not waterproof.

But the line in the release that caught our eye at RobotAutoTrader is much further down. The straps, plastics and wheel rims come off without tools.

That sounds like a footnote and it isn't. A consumer robot keeps its value when a second owner can replace the parts that wear out. The moment a cracked plastic or a worn wheel means a service centre, resale collapses — because a buyer is being asked to pay for a machine with unknown remaining life and no way to restore it.

Wheels wear out. Batteries fade.

Whether that's the end of a $1,199 machine or the beginning of its second life mostly comes down to whether you need a screwdriver.

WhatsApp keeps finding new ways to make the Chats tab busier. At least there's an option to archive channels.

I'd take a wall thermostat for each zone over scrolling through an app to figure out which room is calling for heat.

@Gusion_Zeka @vangrid_io The fingerprint check is the bit I'd be least comfortable relying on

The Mac mini is the one that catches my eye. Small desktop machines with proper power are still a great idea.

Getting enough up-to-date footage of every awkward doorway and loading bay feels like the hard bit.

[Yaman @YamanZhigi]

A map can tell a robot where a warehouse is and how to get there. But what would it see when it's actually there? What is the intersection of the ramp and the sidewalk? Are there stairs at the door, a tight turn, a loading dock?

We can absorb them all in a glance. Software in the physical realm needs that to be encoded as data. A map pin gives a location; ground-level spatial data gives a lot more information as to the outline and nature of the location.

@vangrid_io is developing a similar project, using short phone clips for certain locations. Customers shoot a location requested; the footage is then quality-checked, and the approved captures are reverse-engineered into a 3D model. Customers can ask for specific locations by raising funded bounties.

How maps, street-level imagery, and 3D captures all answer different questions. Maps may map out a road, and others (like the stairway, warehouse floor, loading bay) cannot have meaningful spatial detail.

In the case of Physical AI, knowing where it is going is only partially enough. A robot should also know more than just the distance available.

That’s the gap Vangrid is trying to fill, one ground-level capture at a time.

HVAC techs, how often should the condensate drain on a home AC unit be cleaned? Is once a year enough?
