This view is a bit of a mystery for now, but it appears to be the main screen you see when using Driving Mode, which currently makes navigation a breeze and safer. </p><p>It was meant to be the replacement for the Assistant Driving Mode, which <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/assistant-driving-mode-dashboard-shutting-down\" href=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/assistant-driving-mode-dashboard-shutting-down\">lost its Dashboard view last year</a>. That feature had a neat home screen with a map, media tips, audio controls, and even calling and texting features.</p><p>On the other hand, Driving Mode kicks into action only when you start navigating. It comes in the form of a sleek black bar at the bottom of your phone\'s screen. This nifty setup gives you quick access to Assistant and big, handy buttons for your music, podcasts, audiobooks, and other <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/best-streaming-music-apps-android\" href=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/best-streaming-music-apps-android\">streaming apps</a>.</p><p>This deprecation might force drivers to settle for the plain navigation mode activated by a simple \"Hey Google, launch driving mode\" command. Additionally, there\'s the revamped voice controls courtesy of <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/google-assistant\" href=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/google-assistant\">Assistant</a>. One of the strings notes that you\'ll be directed to the mic icon to summon Assistant for calls, messages, or media playback while driving.</p><p>Sure, going all-in on audio for safety sounds like a brilliant idea on paper, but others may view this as a step back in the functionality aspect. There\'s a whole squad out there that just dislikes the idea of chatting up a voice assistant.</p>\n</div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-zgA8QJa4nkuL8d8uNXnPxA\"><div data-hydrate=\"true\"><div><section></section><section><p>Get the latest news from Android Central, your trusted companion in the world of Android</p></section></div></div></div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-zgA8QJa4nkuL8d8uNXnPxA\"><div><p>Jay Bonggolto always keeps a nose for news.

And you know what? This modern-day version of the classic doll is actually pretty cool. It comes with five voice modes, a bunch of dance moves and over 600 unique responses. It can communicate with other Furbies and is quite huggable. Past concerns about the Furby can be kicked to the curb -- there\'s no Wi-Fi connectivity, no app and no LCD screen eyes.

Basically, Hot Wheels Rift Rally takes the remote control car to the next level. </p></div>  </div></div>  </div><div contenttype=\"Product Advice\" data-cy=\"shortcodeListicle\" data-id=\"listicle-04f0259c-da98-4781-a7ea-d38c28b41831\" data-key=\"cnetlisticle__04f0259c-da98-4781-a7ea-d38c28b41831\" data-location=\"LIST\" data-position=\"28\" edition=\"us\" filtershortcodetypes=\"\" id=\"04f0259c-da98-4781-a7ea-d38c28b41831\" imagegroup=\"{&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;myrealjam-guitar.png&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&lt;p>&lt;/p>&quot;,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;imageData&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;05b60ca8-6233-40e8-b543-d21570550341&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;myrealjam-guitar&quot;,&quot;filename&quot;:&quot;myrealjam-guitar.png&quot;,&quot;path&quot;:&quot;https://www.cnet.com/a/img/hub/2021/10/21/05b60ca8-6233-40e8-b543-d21570550341/myrealjam-guitar.png&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&lt;p>&lt;/p>&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:275678,&quot;width&quot;:1105,&quot;height&quot;:710,&quot;dateCreated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2021-10-21 01:57:58&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;dateUpdated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2021-10-21 02:03:09&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;needsModeration&quot;:false,&quot;mimeType&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;deleted&quot;:false,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;myrealjam-guitar.png&quot;,&quot;restricted&quot;:false,&quot;startDate&quot;:null,&quot;endDate&quot;:null,&quot;preferred&quot;:false,&quot;watermark&quot;:false,&quot;doNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;doNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;primaryCollection&quot;:null,&quot;vanityUrl&quot;:null,&quot;notes&quot;:null,&quot;crop&quot;:null,&quot;cropGravity&quot;:0,&quot;preservedRegion&quot;:null,&quot;isNew&quot;:false,&quot;keywords&quot;:[],&quot;primeColor&quot;:null,&quot;hasWarning&quot;:false,&quot;typeName&quot;:&quot;content_image&quot;},&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;05b60ca8-6233-40e8-b543-d21570550341&quot;,&quot;imageAltText&quot;:&quot;myrealjam-guitar.png&quot;,&quot;imageCaption&quot;:&quot;&lt;p>&lt;/p>&quot;,&quot;imageCredit&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;imageDoNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;imageDoNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;imageWatermark&quot;:false,&quot;imageFilename&quot;:&quot;myrealjam-guitar.png&quot;,&quot;imageDateCreated&quot;:&quot;2021/10/21&quot;,&quot;imageWidth&quot;:1105,&quot;imageHeight&quot;:710,&quot;imageParallax&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageCrop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageEnlarge&quot;:false}\" overridecaption=\"&lt;p>&lt;/p>\" overridecredit=\"Amazon\" pagelayout=\"Best List - Precap\" position=\"28\" showdetails=\"true\" superlative=\"A gift for budding rock stars\" suppressautoplay=\"true\" tocheadlineitem=\"[object Object]\" totalfilteritems=\"0\" usepricing=\"true\"><div> <a data-cy=\"listicleImageBuyButton\" href=\"https://shop-links.co/link/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Flittle-tikes-my-real-jam-electric-guitar-red%2F-%2FA-82678359%3Fref%3Dtgt_adv_xsp%26AFID%3Dgoogle%26fndsrc%3Dtgtao%26DFA%3D71700000012767052%26CPNG%3DPLA_Sports%252BShopping_Local%257CSports_Ecomm_Hardlines%26adgroup%3DSC_Sports_Local%26LID%3D700000001170770pgs%26LNM%3DPRODUCT_GROUP%26network%3Dg%26device%3Dc%26location%3D9033354%26targetid%3Daud-1957922309919%3Apla-310369832098%26ds_rl%3D1246978%26gclid%3DCjwKCAjw8-OhBhB5EiwADyoY1fXXyOpuMgh5Uft3GxDh_G3gXTYmfc3ocw8bFTWQ4v0vLYUakNjT3BoCRBMQAvD_BwE%26gclsrc%3Daw.ds&amp;publisher_slug=cnet&amp;article_name=__ARTICLE_NAME__&amp;article_url=__ARTICLE_URL__&amp;exclusive=1&amp;u1=subid_value\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" section=\"listicle|image\" target=\"_blank\"><figure><div><picture> <img alt=\"myrealjam-guitar.png\" height=\"360\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\" width=\"640\"></img> </picture></div></figure></a> <figcaption><span>Amazon</span></figcaption></div> <div>     <div><div><p>This play guitar is such a fun gift.

The show’s official dates are January 9-12, with the 8th usually being a day of press conferences ahead of the convention centers opening to attendees. Which makes this… Day 0 of CES 2024.</p><p>The announcements on this day usually gives us an idea of what to expect for the rest of the week, and this year we’re already seeing some emerging trends. Samsung and LG both brought us transparent display tech, we saw a slew of pet and kitchen gadgets, while vibrating and massage chairs have taken over the showfloor. Here’s a recap of the biggest news out of CES 2024 so far.</p><p>Let’s start with the companies that couldn’t even wait till we were in Vegas to share their news.</p><p>On January 3rd, just one day after people returned to work on the New Year, LG announced it would be bringing its new DukeBox smart speaker to the show. The <a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:DukeBox;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/lgs-dukebox-puts-vacuum-tube-audio-behind-a-transparent-oled-display-125526158.html\">DukeBox </a>features vacuum tube audio placed behind a transparent OLED screen, allowing you to see the vacuum pipes for a retro vibe even as something is on the display. LG also teased a two-legged AI-powered robot, a 27-inch OLED gaming monitor that goes up to 480Hz, its <a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:latest 4K OLED TVs with AI processors;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/lg-reveals-new-oled-tvs-with-high-144hz-refresh-rates-ahead-of-ces-2024-164550931.html\">latest 4K OLED TVs with AI processors</a>, Gram laptops with AI features and the CineBeam Qube 4K projector.</p><p>We’ve now seen many of these things in person and I’ll tell you more about them in a bit, but other PC and gaming peripheral companies also teased their wares prior to the show. Dell, for example, showed <a data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:its new XPS 13, 14 and 16 laptops;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/dell-unveils-new-xps-13-14-and-16-laptops-ahead-of-ces-2024-110041195.html\">its new XPS 13, 14 and 16 laptops</a> alongside a <a data-i13n=\"cpos:5;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:curved 40-inch 5K monitor;cpos:5;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/dell-unveils-its-curved-40-inch-5k-monitor-at-ces-claiming-five-star-eye-comfort-050102378.html\">curved 40-inch 5K monitor</a> that it says offers “five-star comfort.â€</p><p>Razer also told everyone to be on the lookout for its Blade 16 laptop at CES, because it’ll <a data-i13n=\"cpos:6;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:feature the “world’s first 16-inch 240Hz OLED display;cpos:6;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/razers-2024-blade-16-laptop-will-have-a-240hz-oled-display-172153672.html\">feature the “world’s first 16-inch 240Hz OLED display</a>.â€ Samsung also teased its <a data-i13n=\"cpos:7;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:trio of Odyssey-branded anti-glare OLED gaming monitors;cpos:7;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/samsung-reveals-three-anti-glare-odyssey-oled-gaming-monitors-ahead-of-ces-2024-230028536.html\">trio of Odyssey-branded anti-glare OLED gaming monitors</a> on January 2nd! The day after New Year’s Day! I wish companies would stop just spilling their own beans ahead of the actual full reveal, because it gets in the way of actual news. And there was plenty.</p><p>For instance, Samsung had a whole truckload of new products to share. Yes, it did announce most of its news ahead of CES, but a lot of it was really interesting. The one that stole most of our attention was the world’s first transparent MicroLED screen — that\'s a screen you can see through even as it displays content, and is completely clear when nothing is on. <a data-i13n=\"cpos:8;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:According to our senior reporter Sam Rutherford;cpos:8;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/samsung-debuts-the-worlds-first-transparent-microled-screen-at-ces-2024-042634398.html\">According to our senior reporter Sam Rutherford</a>, who saw the screens up close last night at Samsung’s First Look showcase, the transparent MicroLED panel was significantly brighter and noticeably clearer than the transparent LCD and OLED screens next to it.</p><p>Samsung also launched a new speaker version of its Frame TV, called <a data-i13n=\"cpos:9;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:the Music Frame;cpos:9;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/samsung-debuts-music-frame-speaker-to-pair-with-your-frame-tv-at-ces-2024-030024733.html\">the Music Frame</a>. This is basically a photo frame that can hold a photograph or art print, while also hiding a solid speaker within. It basically masquerades as home decor, but that doesn’t diminish its capability. It has two woofers, two tweeters and two mid-range drivers, and also supports Dolby’s Atmos audio. You can pair it with your existing home audio system or use it standalone.</p><p>That’s not all Samsung unveiled. It also showed off <a data-i13n=\"cpos:10;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:Premiere projectors;cpos:10;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/samsung-debuts-premiere-projectors-that-turn-any-surface-into-an-interactive-display-for-your-home-theater-030006840.html\">Premiere projectors</a> that can turn any surface into an interactive display, as well as its <a data-i13n=\"cpos:11;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:2024 TV lineup;cpos:11;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/samsungs-2024-tv-lineup-at-ces-2024-includes-ai-aplenty-and-a-glare-free-oled-model-030046720.html\">2024 TV lineup</a> that features plenty of AI.</p><p>Samsung’s main rival at CES is LG, since both companies tend to show off an incredibly similar portfolio of products. This year, LG also came to the game with transparency as its secret weapon, showing off the “<a data-i13n=\"cpos:12;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:world’s first wireless transparent OLED TV.;cpos:12;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/lg-brought-the-worlds-first-wireless-transparent-oled-tv-to-ces-2024-071151174.html\">world’s first wireless transparent OLED TV.</a>â€ According to Billy Steele, who’s seen this OLED T TV, “some of the visuals are a bit unsettling,â€ but because the transparent background made it feel like things on display, like a singer, seemed like they were actually in the room. He said image quality was bright and sharp, though, and that it was comparable to Samsung’s MicroLED version. Though LG’s set seems more ready for public consumption, the company did not share pricing information, just that it’ll be ready to sell the OLED T this year.</p><p>LG also brought the other products I mentioned earlier and I was able to check out the new Gram Pro laptops in person at the Unveiled showcase last night. They’re impressively thin and light, as usual, and trying to do bicep curls with them is really not a challenge.</p><p>While we’re on the topic of laptops, a quick shoutout to HP and Acer. HP brought us the “<a data-i13n=\"cpos:13;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:world’s lightest 14-inch gaming laptop;cpos:13;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/hp-unveiled-the-lightest-14-inch-gaming-laptop-in-the-world-at-ces-2024-130024558.html\">world’s lightest 14-inch gaming laptop</a>â€ and a new <a data-i13n=\"cpos:14;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:4K 240Hz OLED gaming monitor;cpos:14;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/hps-new-4k-240hz-oled-gaming-monitor-lets-you-drag-and-drop-files-across-devices-140507464.html\">4K 240Hz OLED gaming monitor</a>, among other things, while Acer dragged out a <a data-i13n=\"cpos:15;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:massive 57-inch ultrawide monitor;cpos:15;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/acer-introduces-a-massive-57-inch-ultrawide-monitor-at-ces-2024-170056345.html\">massive 57-inch ultrawide monitor</a> that will cost $2,500.

The ROG Zephyrus G14 has an aluminum chassis with clean lines, crisp edges and a thinner, lighter design than previous models. A simple LED slash runs across the lid and can be programmed to glow in gray or white, rather than the garish rainbow favored by other gaming laptops. The ROG Zephyrus G14 looks sophisticated, and it can also run any title on the market, thanks to its AMD Ryzen 8000 series processors and optional NVIDIA RTX 4070 GPU at the high end. Top-of-the-line specs and a minimalist design make the latest ASUS line stand out in a sea of other game-focused devices at CES. This is what gaming laptops look like when they\'re all grown up. — <em>Jessica Conditt, senior reporter</em></p><h2>Samsung Music Frame</h2><figure><div><div><p><img alt=\"An image with a badge for Engadget Best of CES 2024 showing the product: Samsung Music Frame, a several-inch-thick square frame structure on a small stand against a grey gradient background.\" data-src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/5PpeUmmJ5uZPo0X0oz4Jiw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MA--/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-01/f851fad4-b0b7-11ee-bfaf-9ee2d7bd156d\"></img></p></div></div><p><figcaption><span> Samsung</span></figcaption></p></figure><p>Samsung\'s line of Frame TVs, first introduced back in 2017, do a great job of disguising a large-screen TV as a piece of art. The <a data-i13n=\"cpos:16;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:Samsung Music Frame;cpos:16;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/samsung-debuts-music-frame-speaker-to-pair-with-your-frame-tv-at-ces-2024-030024733.html\">Samsung Music Frame</a> does the same thing, but for wireless speakers. Instead of a screen, there\'s a place to display art or album covers that you swap pretty easily.</p><p>This wouldn\'t be noteworthy if the Music Frame didn\'t sound good — but in our demo, it did. The Music Frame includes two woofers, two tweeters and two mid-range drivers and supports Dolby Atmos. It\'s also quite the flexible speaker, working on its own, in a stereo pair or connected to a TV as part of a bigger home theater setup. It\'s even wall-mountable. We have no price or release date, but given Samsung\'s success with the Frame TVs, we imagine they won\'t wait long to get the Music Frame on the market. — <em>Nathan Ingraham, deputy editor</em></p><h2>LG Signature OLED T</h2><figure><div><div><p><img alt=\"An image with a badge for Engadget Best of CES 2024 showing the product: LG Signature OLED T in a high-rise apartment building with floor-to-ceiling windows with the transparent display showing what appears to be a Kandinsky painting.\" data-src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/XsR79e70y5G0aVpmnjvtdw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MA--/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-01/f851d3c2-b0b7-11ee-a4cb-a19f9ba67053\"></img></p></div></div><p><figcaption><span> LG</span></figcaption></p></figure><p>OLED TVs are great.

Keep the filter up, and it looks like one of LGs standard, excellent OLED sets. Bring it down, and the image almost looks like it’s floating in mid-air. Like Samsung’s Frame TVs, the Signature OLED T is designed for ambience — when you’re not watching a show or movie, it can display little animations (a digital fish tank, for instance). To help it feel less obtrusive, the TV also uses LG’s wireless Zero Connect tech, which relegates most of the set’s I/O (and thus cables) to a separate box that can be tucked away elsewhere.</p><p>The TV does lack the microlens array tech found in LG’s absolute best OLED TVs and LG isn’t sure if it will come with the furniture you see in the image above. The company says it will ship sometime in 2024, though there’s no firm release date yet. But whenever it does arrive, it will almost certainly be prohibitively expensive for most people. — <em>Jeff Dunn, senior commerce writer</em></p><h2>TCL NXTPAPER 14 Pro</h2><figure><div><div><p><img alt=\"An image with a badge for Engadget Best of CES 2024 showing the product: TCL NXTPAPER 14 Pro tablet-like device with two models overlapped.

You get a sharp 2.8K-resolution panel with bright colors plus a special nano-coating that not only reduces glare, but also cuts down excess blue light while providing a lovely matte texture. And for those who prefer a more traditional newspaper-like reading experience, there’s a monochrome mode that makes the NXTPAPER 14 Pro look like it has an e-ink screen. So while its specs aren’t all that impressive (MediaTek Dimensity 8020, 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage), TCL’s new tablet is one of those rare gadgets that appeals to both hardcore tech nerds and traditionalists that still remember a time before everything went digital. <em>— Sam Rutherford, senior reporter</em></p><h2>ASUS ZenBook Duo</h2><figure><div><div><p><img alt=\"An image with a badge for Engadget Best of CES 2024 showing the product: ASUS ZenBook Duo laptop with a dual monitor on top of the normal laptop version on a white display table at the event.\" data-src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/5wIvESFTIcLP2vkcxlISNw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MA--/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-01/f851fad3-b0b7-11ee-aca3-aa0f453e009f\"></img></p></div></div><p><figcaption><span> Engadget</span></figcaption></p></figure><p>ASUS has been chasing the dream of dual-screen notebooks for a while, but this year\'s <a data-i13n=\"cpos:20;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:ZenBook Duo;cpos:20;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/the-asus-zenbook-duo-is-a-stunning-dual-screen-laptop-with-seemingly-no-compromises-180017370.html\">ZenBook Duo</a> appears to be its best attempt yet. It consists of two separate components: a dual-screen display unit and a detachable Bluetooth keyboard. You can use the ZenBook Duo in a typical clamshell mode, with the keyboard in front of one of its displays. But when you have more room, you can open up the display to have two screens sitting on top of each other (balanced on a built-in kickstand).</p><p>The ZenBook Duo also feels incredibly polished, and it has high-end hardware like Intel\'s Core Ultra chips and gorgeous OLED screens. It also starts at a reasonable $1,500, making it a dual-screen laptop for the masses. — <em>Devindra Hardawar, senior reporter</em></p><h2>Withings BeamO</h2><figure><div><div><p><img alt=\"An image with a badge for Engadget Best of CES 2024 showing the product: Withings BeamO device which is similar in shape to a TV remote control standing on its end against a beige background.\" data-src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/G6IZZCXMXbrBkMLgjFDxwg--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MA--/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-01/f85221e0-b0b7-11ee-bf81-643b8b0e1abc\"></img></p></div></div><p><figcaption><span> Withings</span></figcaption></p></figure><p>There’s never a shortage of health and fitness tech at CES.

Providing your doctor with key metrics ahead of a call or visit could make it easier for them to give you sound medical advice. And those with chronic conditions could use BeamO to keep track of health data over the long term. — <em>Valentina Palladino, senior commerce editor</em></p><h2>EcoFlow Delta Ultra</h2><figure><div><div><p><img alt=\"An image with a badge for Engadget Best of CES 2024 showing the product: EcoFlow Delta Ultra displayed in a home environment against a wall with a living room on the left side of the split image.\" data-src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/c_ZlnJrT0OaIA1.zNBv7hw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MA--/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-01/f851d3c1-b0b7-11ee-bbfb-3a2664f97512\"></img></p></div></div><p><figcaption><span> EcoFlow</span></figcaption></p></figure><p>A whole-home battery and inverter system is far from the funkiest bit of hardware we saw at CES, but it’s likely one of the more useful.

The DELTA Pro Ultra can even suck up juice from the grid when it\'s cheaper, and feed it back when energy prices surge.</p><p>A base configuration goes for $5,800 and includes one 6kWh battery and inverter, but you can stack up to five batteries per inverter and chain up to three inverter-and-battery stacks, amounting to a 90kWh capacity. That’s a beastly amount of power that could keep a McMansion humming at full tilt for a few days — or run essential appliances in a more moderately sized home for a month or longer.</p><p>The DELTA Pro Ultra can also hook into an existing transfer switch if you have one, but for deeper integration with your home’s power system, the subpanel-like Smart Home Panel 2 gives you features like app control, weather and power grid monitoring, and instant switchover to backup when the power goes out. As more solar panels are installed on rooftops, a sleek and powerful all-in-one battery solution like this can give people more control over how their power is used.

Ballie is a lot bigger than it was when we saw it in 2020, and it now has a built-in 1080p projector so it can both show you things and speak to you when you ask it for help. Think of it like a Nest Hub on wheels.</p><p>We only got to see Ballie in a tightly-plotted demo at Samsung\'s booth, but it was simply delightful to watch Ballie roll around projecting workout routines, calendar updates and recipe videos on the walls. As with most smart home gadgets, there\'s a little bit of \"solution searching for a problem\" here. But it feels like Samsung nailed the form factor judging by how smoothly Ballie navigated its way around the demo area. And while many companies show off products like this that have no chance of actually reaching people in the real world, Samsung says Ballie will go on sale this year. — <em>N.I.</em></p><h2>Micron LPCAMM2 laptop RAM modules</h2><figure><div><div><p><img alt=\"An image with a badge for Engadget Best of CES 2024 showing the product: Micron LPCAMM2 laptop RAM, which is a small circuit board add-on seen against a black background.\" data-src=\"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/BZJXEhFzmB5JCAvfQ_LiBw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MA--/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-01/f851fad0-b0b7-11ee-afff-474ef2dd7967\"></img></p></div></div><p><figcaption><span> Micron</span></figcaption></p></figure><p>If you\'ve ever been annoyed that you couldn\'t upgrade your RAM in an ultraportable laptop, Micron has a potential solution: <a data-i13n=\"cpos:34;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:LPCAMM2 memory;cpos:34;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" href=\"https://www.engadget.com/micron-debuts-lpcamm2-laptop-ram-that-could-finally-replace-sodimm-140018881.html\">LPCAMM2 memory</a>.

It’s designed to move air around the food to impart maximum smokiness inside, without letting airflow out. When your brisket, chicken or whatever is done, a filtration and catalyst system draws the smoke down, eventually expelling it as warm air.</p><p>Typically smoking food requires constant adjustments and vigilance, but the Smart Indoor Smoker has six preset cooking modes, while you’re able to adjust the degree of smokiness between five different levels. The wood pellets’ only function is to add flavor and not fuel the actual cooking process, so only a handful are needed per smoke session.</p><p>GE included a smart probe with the Smart Indoor Smoker too, so you can monitor the cooking process from a companion app and its Smoke and Hold feature can cook and smoke foods and keep them at food-safe temperatures for up to 24 hours. It’s not small (it\'s around the size of a mini fridge), but it’s stylish and simple to use, with a low barrier to entry for anyone tempted to try smoking their own foods. The device was also able to impart an impressive level of smokiness in only a few hours — we can’t wait to see what low-and-slow smoking could do. — <em>Mat Smith, UK bureau chief</em></p><p><em>We\'re reporting live from CES 2024 in Las Vegas from January 6-12.

Bitcoin, for instance, has allowed denizens of that criminal underground to buy and sell their wares with no involvement from a bank or payment processor that might reveal their activities to law enforcement. But the public and surprisingly traceable transactions recorded in Bitcoin\'s blockchain have sometimes led financial investigators <a href=\"https://www.wired.com/story/tracers-in-the-dark-welcome-to-video-crypto-anonymity-myth/\">directly to pedophiles’ doorsteps</a>.</p><figure data-testid=\"IframeEmbed\"><div data-testid=\"IframeEmbedContainer\"></div></figure><p>Now, after years of evolution in that grim cat-and-mouse game, new evidence suggests that online vendors of what was once commonly called “child pornâ€ are learning to use cryptocurrency with significantly more skill and stealth—and that it\'s helping them survive longer in the internet\'s most abusive industry.</p><p>Today, as part of an annual crime report, cryptocurrency tracing firm Chainalysis revealed <a data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/csam-cryptocurrency-monero-instant-exchangers-2024&quot;}\" data-offer-url=\"https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/csam-cryptocurrency-monero-instant-exchangers-2024\" href=\"https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/csam-cryptocurrency-monero-instant-exchangers-2024\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">new research</a> that analyzed blockchains to measure the changing scale and sophistication of the cryptocurrency-based sale of child sexual abuse materials, or CSAM, over the past four years. Total revenue from CSAM sold for cryptocurrency has actually gone down since 2021, Chainalysis found, along with the number of new CSAM sellers accepting crypto. But the sophistication of crypto-based CSAM sales has been increasing. More and more, Chainalysis discovered, sellers of CSAM are using privacy tools like “mixersâ€ and “privacy coinsâ€ that obfuscate their money trails across blockchains.</p><p>Perhaps because of that increased savvy, the company found that CSAM vendors active in 2023 persisted online—and evaded law enforcement—for a longer time than in any previous year, and about 57 percent longer than even in 2022. “Growing sophistication makes identification harder. It makes tracing harder, it makes prosecution harder, and it makes rescuing victims harder,â€ says Eric Jardine, the researcher who led the Chainalysis study. “So that sophistication dimension is probably the worst one you could see increasing over time.â€</p><p>Better Stealth, Longer Criminal Lifespans</p><p>Scouring blockchains, Chainalysis researchers analyzed around 400 cryptocurrency wallets of CSAM sellers and more than 10,000 buyers who sent funds to them over the past four years. Their most disturbing finding in that broad economic study was that crypto-based CSAM sellers seem to have a longer lifespan online than ever, suggesting a kind of relative impunity. On average, CSAM vendors who were active in 2023 remained online for 884 days, compared with 560 days for those active in 2022 and just 112 days in 2020.</p><p>To explain that new longevity for some of the most harmful actors on the internet, Chainalysis points to how CSAM vendors are increasingly laundering their proceeds with cryptocurrency mixers—services that blend users\' funds to make tracing more difficult—such as ChipMixer and Sinbad. (US and German law enforcement shut down ChipMixer in March 2023, but Sinbad remains online despite facing US sanctions for money laundering.) In 2023, Chainalysis found that about 46 percent of CSAM vendors used mixers, up from around 22 percent in 2020.</p><p>Chainalysis also found that CSAM vendors are increasingly using “instant exchangerâ€ services that often collect little or no identifying information on traders and allow them to swap bitcoin for cryptocurrencies like Monero and Zcash—\"privacy coins\" designed to obfuscate or encrypt their blockchains to make tracing their cash-outs of profits far more difficult. Chainalysis’ Jardine says that Monero in particular seems to be gaining popularity among CSAM purveyors. In the company\'s investigations, Chainalysis has seen it used repeatedly by CSAM sellers laundering funds through instant exchangers, and in multiple cases it has also seen CSAM forums post Monero addresses to solicit donations. While the instant exchangers did offer other cryptocurrencies, including the privacy coin Zcash, Chainalysis’ report states that “we believe Monero to be the currency of choice for laundering via instant exchangers.â€</p></div></div></div>', 'Crypto tracing firm Chainalysis found that sellers of child sexual abuse materials are successfully using “mixersâ€ and “privacy coinsâ€ like Monero to launder their profits and evade law enforcement.', 'https://media.wired.com/photos/659f246783a7239c87585c11/191:100/w_1280,c_limit/CSAM-report-sec-GettyImages-885630762.jpg', '322', NULL, NULL, '', 'newsapi', NULL, NULL, '2024-02-09', '728', '0', '0', NULL, NULL, NULL),

When the fruits of the recent generative AI boom get properly integrated into those legacy assistant bots, they will surely get much more interesting.</p><p>To get a preview of what’s next, I took an experimental AI voice helper called <a href=\"https://github.com/ishan0102/vimGPT\">vimGPT</a> for a test run.

VimGPT is built on GPT-4V, the multimodal version of OpenAI’s famous language model. By analyzing a request it can determine what to click on or type more reliably than text-only software can, which has to attempt to make sense of the web by untangling messy HTML. “A year from now, I would expect the experience of using a computer to look very different,â€ says Shah, who says he built vimGPT in only a few days. “Most apps will require less clicking and more chatting, with agents becoming an integral part of browsing the web.â€</p><p>Shah is not the only person who believes that the next logical step after chatbots like ChatGPT is agents that use computers and roam the Web. <a data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rsalakhu/&quot;}\" data-offer-url=\"https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rsalakhu/\" href=\"https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rsalakhu/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ruslan Salakhutdinov</a>, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who was Apple’s director of AI research from 2016 to 2020, believes that Siri and other assistants are in line for an almighty AI upgrade. “The next evolution is going to be agents that can get useful tasks done,â€ Salakhutdinov says.

In its first form, it’s a fun and zippy little Go Kart, with a max speed of 26.7 mph and plenty of pickup that corners nicely around the turns. In its second form, the back end detaches to become a little floating hoverboard. Finally, roll it into your house, park it in front of the TV, and it becomes a tiny racing sim. It’s compatible with most major consoles and games and has full 360 haptic feedback, as I discovered when I decided that CES was the right time to learn how to drift. This is the perfect toy for a wealthy 13-year-old, or perhaps more appropriately, a 40-year-old mom.<em>—Adrienne So</em></p><p>Do you hate pulling out your phone every time you need to do some boring, mundane thing like DoorDash a hot dog or call an Uber? You might need (or just want) a Rabbit R1, an adorable, pocket-sized AI device. It’s about the size of a stack of Post-its with a screen, button, touchscreen, and camera. When you need to run an errand, just push a button, give it a voice command, and send a rabbit to do all the boring stuff that takes up time in your life: add a song to a Spotify playlist, make a reservation at your favorite restaurant. It does require its own cellular connection, but it could save you a ton of time and energy. Read <a href=\"https://www.wired.com/story/rabbit-r1/\">Julian Chokkattu’s full story</a> for more. Also, just know the first batch sold out in one day (!) but the company is taking preorders for the next batch. <em>—Adrienne So</em></p><p>Dreaming of a bidet? What about a bidet you can control like a smart speaker? Kohler’s PureWash E930 bidet seat can be added on to your existing toilet, with features ranging from adjustable water temperatures and pressure to a heated seat, air dryer, and a motion-activated cover. But perhaps the most surprising feature is that it works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, so you could ask your voice assistant of choice to activate the bidet or dryer. The included remote would certainly be faster to use, but voice control does mean you can have a fully hands-free experience.

It’s a compact electric cargo longtail bike that’s big enough for two kids to sit on; I toted my backpack in the rear racks. It has a hydroformed alloy low-step frame with an integrated battery and a Bosch Performance Line Cargo motor, all atop very fun and maneuverable 20-inch wheels. Mount your phone and let it charge while you ride and watch your stats in Bosch’s eBike Flow app. Auto mode lets the bike apply just enough power to keep your level of effort consistent, no matter what the terrain looks like. It feels so natural that it’s confusing.

It comes with three modes, including Silent mode (reduces noise output to 23 decibels), Auto mode (uses a sensor to detect changes in air quality and adjusts the fan speed accordingly), and Boost mode (runs the fan at its highest setting for an hour). Using the Airthings companion app, you can view air quality trends, control the air purifier, and reorder more filters.

So, from that perspective, AWOL’s Vision Vanish Laser TV system isn’t <em>quite</em> as absurdly priced as it seems, though you’re still paying for convenience—this system is about as all-in-one as a projector can get. It consists of an entertainment unit with a slide-out drawer where an AWOL LTV-3500 (included, mercifully!) can sit, tucked away when not in use. It also has a motorized, retractable 100-inch screen (or you can upgrade to the gigantic 120-inch model for an extra $1,000) that can roll up and disappear when you don’t need it. This has everything you need for a projector-based home theater in a single box, with the possible exception of an external sound system, though even the built-in speakers in <a data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https://cna.st/affiliate-link/23Up7xC9e31HoaZ4p788HWDiacfc8BotpB1Ai2SKvzY8y6XGsDHKKNfFiMwCwsLzkLtxVvZiBpZ1jMeFEDWah4ubvTCVRtB9k2FuBiLc4GyRWeoAX8tJEY57YQP5oTFXkotu5gfMRDhT8jG7vw3ie3BPbuNWBky&quot;}\" data-offer-url=\"https://www.wired.com/review/awol-ltv-3500-projector/\" href=\"https://cna.st/affiliate-link/23Up7xC9e31HoaZ4p788HWDiacfc8BotpB1Ai2SKvzY8y6XGsDHKKNfFiMwCwsLzkLtxVvZiBpZ1jMeFEDWah4ubvTCVRtB9k2FuBiLc4GyRWeoAX8tJEY57YQP5oTFXkotu5gfMRDhT8jG7vw3ie3BPbuNWBky\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">the LTV-3500 are pretty nice</a>. <em>—Eric Ravenscraft</em></p><figure data-testid=\"IframeEmbed\"><div data-testid=\"IframeEmbedContainer\"></div></figure></div></div></div>', 'From workout headphones to an iPhone case with a physical keyboard, here’s everything announced at the big tech trade show that you can actually order—or preorder—today.', 'https://media.wired.com/photos/659f9fb15baaf77c7f3dd011/191:100/w_1280,c_limit/01.09.24_WIRED__CES_1584-2.jpg', '322', NULL, NULL, '', 'newsapi', NULL, NULL, '2024-02-09', '728', '0', '0', NULL, NULL, NULL),
(1392, 'Threads is a gripping, miserable experience', '<div><p>Sometimes you have to put yourself through something painful just to recognize how good you have it. There’s a lot to be gained from enduring the most disheartening shit possible: Want to hear depressing news? Want to feel anxious and unsettled? Want to walk away feeling hopeless and cynical about the world?</p><p>That’s the experience of watching <a href=\"https://www.criterionchannel.com/threads\"><em>Threads</em></a>, the 1984 television film that is now streaming as a part of Criterion Channel’s new <a href=\"https://www.criterionchannel.com/postapocalyptic-sci-fi\">Postapocalyptic Sci-fi</a> series. (Sorry, did you think I was talking about a different thing called Threads?) Directed by Mick Jackson and written by novelist Barry Hines, <em>Threads</em> was a cultural phenomenon in the UK when it aired on the BBC. Depicting the aftermath of nuclear fallout with unflinching clarity, the movie follows the legacy of <em>The War Game</em>, the pseudo-documentary that was convincing enough in 1966 that it had to be pulled from broadcast on account of being “too horrifyingâ€ (but was then put into theaters). If <em>Threads</em> was a retread of <em>The War Game</em>’s controversial reception, it definitely worked.</p><p>Nearly four decades later, it <em>still</em> works, and <em>Threads </em>is no less difficult to watch. Produced during the Cold War, the film imagines tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union boiling over, with the industrial city of Sheffield caught in the spillover. The bombs go off, the city is leveled, and at that point, things haven’t even gotten that bad yet.</p><div><div><p>Every time you think things can’t get more bleak, the movie finds a way.</p></div></div><p><em>Threads</em> is thematically a better movie pairing with <a href=\"/23800129/oppenheimer-movie-review-christopher-nolan\"><em>Oppenheimer</em></a> than <a href=\"/23799181/barbie-review-mattel-warner-bros-greta-gerwig\"><em>Barbie</em></a> (on the flip side, <em>Barbie</em> + <em>Poor Things</em> would be a fun combo). If Christopher Nolan only gives a stylish glimpse to the horrors of nuclear aftermath — a short sequence wherein Japanese citizens are eerily reduced to dust while Cillian Murphy stares guiltily at the camera — then <em>Threads</em> spends its entire second half demonstrating just how reductive that portrayal is. The bomb, it turns out, is the easy thing to watch.</p><p>Especially in its back half, <em>Threads</em> is unsparing, and in some ways, a bit artless. Grit, grime, rubble, rats, people eating rats — it’s remarkable that this played on broadcast television. Every time you think things can’t get more bleak, the movie finds a way. The resource-strapped British government quickly turns fascist; the effects of radiation poisoning are rendered with a lot of bodily specifics; and the threadbare (sorry) characters just muddle through it, and the film never really gives them a reason why they should keep going.</p><p>But <em>Threads’</em> commitment is what makes it so successful. Again, this thing was produced in the mid-’80s, and it’s still more haunting than anything film to TV show I’ve seen in years. There’s a richness to the detail as <em>Threads</em> games out the disaster scenarios. Nuclear winter has blocked out the sun, killing all the crops; when sunlight does return years later, its ultraviolet form is so intense that it causes widespread cataracts in survivors. There really is no good turn here, just fascinating horror after fascinating horror. It’s hard to watch, but I promise it is well made and quite satisfying.

According to SWNS, Corby resident Stephanie Barstow bought 6-week-old Duke and his brother Nero in May 2015. In January 2017, soon after a fight with Nero and the birth of Barstow’s child, Duke vanished. Barstow feared the worst, having heard reports of cat-killing foxes in the area. Despite exhaustive searching with the help of friends and family, she failed to find any traces of Duke. And after eight months, she stopped looking for him, though she maintained hope that he was out there somewhere.</p><p>Nearly seven years later, on December 21, 2023, Barstow’s hopes were surprisingly validated. That day, a veterinarian knocked on her door and asked if she had ever owned a cat named Duke. Duke had been microchipped, but the number on file no longer worked. Fortunately, the vet remembered Duke’s  facial markings and white paws and recalled that Barstow had been looking for a cat with that description, so she decided to verify his identity in-person—a meeting that was caught on Barstow’s Ring doorbell camera.</p><p>“When I first opened the door, I thought it was a debt collector or someone like that because she asked me to confirm my name—I was panicking,â€ Barstow told SWNS. “But she was a vet.â€</p><p>According to the vet, Duke had been living for some time at a factory just 300 yards away from Barstow (about a city block in distance). He had become enough of a fixture there that local staff had built him a tiny shed to sleep in and set up a feeding station. Sadly, he was brought to the vet when the factory was no longer considered a safe place for Duke to stay.</p><p>Following Duke’s disappearance, Barstow had adopted a dog and had another child. She felt that she was no longer able to provide Duke the best home possible, and she was also worried that Duke might escape again and return to the factory if given the chance. But Duke’s journey has a happy ending: He was adopted by someone else and appears to be doing great, according to Barstow, who paid him and his new owner a recent visit.</p><p>“She had just had her house renovated and it’s got so much open space and is quiet—it was perfect,â€ she said. “It was a very difficult decision but I think it was the best one for Duke.â€ </p></div>', 'A UK woman’s missing cat appears to have done the most cat thing imaginable—spending years on his own just 900 feet away from home.

Marcus trained Juan-Carlos to become the next El Muerto, wrestlers who wore mystical masks that give them superhuman strength and durability. During the final part of the test, the two are attacked by another supernatural wrestler named El Dorado, who kills Marcus. Juan-Carlos spent the following ten years training to avenge his father and sought out Spider-Man so to beat the hero in a wrestling match and unmask him; the two later teamed up against El Dorado and sent him fleeing. </p><figure contenteditable=\"false\" data-format=\"png\" data-height=\"720\" data-hide=\"false\" data-id=\"0604444b21fa0893a0258ed736976c1b\" data-lightbox=\"true\" data-recommend-id=\"image://0604444b21fa0893a0258ed736976c1b\" data-recommended=\"false\" data-width=\"1280\" draggable=\"false\"><div contenteditable=\"false\" data-hide=\"false\" data-hidecredit=\"false\" data-imagerights=\"other-license\" data-link-reference=\"\" data-link-target=\"\" data-syndicationrights=\"true\"><p><span><div><picture><source data-srcset=\"https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload/c_fit,q_60,w_645/0604444b21fa0893a0258ed736976c1b.jpg\" media=\"(max-width: 37.31em)\" srcset=\"R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" type=\"image/jpeg\"></source><source data-srcset=\"https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload/c_fit,q_60,w_1315/0604444b21fa0893a0258ed736976c1b.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 37.37em)\" srcset=\"R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" type=\"image/jpeg\"></source><img alt=\"Image for article titled Sony&amp;#39;s El Muerto Movie Should Exist This Weekend\" data-alt=\"Image for article titled Sony&amp;#39;s El Muerto Movie Should Exist This Weekend\" data-anim-src=\"\" data-chomp-id=\"0604444b21fa0893a0258ed736976c1b\" data-format=\"png\" data-height=\"720\" data-src=\"https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload/c_fit,q_60,w_645/0604444b21fa0893a0258ed736976c1b.jpg\" src=\"R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\"></img></picture></div></span></p><p><figcaption>Image: Roger Cruz/Marvel Comics</figcaption></p></div><span data-format=\"png\" data-height=\"720\" data-hide=\"false\" data-id=\"0604444b21fa0893a0258ed736976c1b\" data-lightbox=\"true\" data-recommend-id=\"image://0604444b21fa0893a0258ed736976c1b\" data-recommended=\"false\" data-width=\"1280\"></span></figure><p>El Muerto hasn’t been seen since, but Sony’s would-be movie for him had an ace up its sleeve in Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, aka <span><a data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https://gizmodo.com/bad-bunny-they-both-die-at-the-end-netflix-sci-fi-serie-1849967006&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https://gizmodo.com/bad-bunny-they-both-die-at-the-end-netflix-sci-fi-serie-1849967006\">Bad Bunny</a></span>.

Have a kid and a dog? You\'d better get a Suburban. Need to tow a Hobie Cat to the lake once or twice a year? Get a full-size diesel four-wheel drive pickup. Looking at an EV for your family? Well, it had better do 400 miles at a time and charge in 15 minutes, despite you having a six-mile commute. This mentality would make a cynic say that Kia\'s EV9 is a pointless exercise, but that cynic would be wrong.</p>\n<p>The 2024 Kia EV9 is ostensibly a three-row, midsize electric SUV that in its most efficient form—the Wind RWD Long-Range trim—will do a claimed 304 miles (489 km) of range, but it\'s also Kia\'s flagship model and the vehicle that seems to give us the best look at the formerly cheap-and-cheerful brand\'s more upscale future.</p>\n<p>The EV9 is the latest vehicle based on <a href=\"https://arstechnica.com/cars/2020/12/everything-we-know-about-hyundai-and-kias-new-electric-vehicle-platform/\">the E-GMP platform</a> that underpins the <a href=\"https://arstechnica.com/cars/2021/12/the-hyundai-ioniq-5-is-the-best-ev-weve-driven-in-2021/\">Ioniq 5</a>, <a href=\"https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/01/kias-new-ev6-electric-crossover-goes-straight-to-the-head-of-the-pack/\">EV6</a>, and <a href=\"https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/08/the-2023-genesis-gv60-is-a-strong-contender-for-ev-of-the-year/\">Genesis GV60</a>. Like those vehicles, it features a skateboard-style chassis and is available in rear- or all-wheel drive. Power ranges from 201 hp (150 kW) in the entry-level Wind RWD model to 379 hp (283 kW) in the Land AWD and GT-Line models. There are two available battery packs, with the smaller coming in at 76.1 kWh and the long-range pack rated at 99.8 kWh.</p>\n<figure><a alt=\"The larger size of the EV9 means you won\'t get quite the same range efficiency out of the same powertrain as the smaller E-GMP cars.

Not that it matters on the commute, school run, or grocery errand.</p><p>Kia</p></figcaption></figure>\n<p>The conversation around electric vehicles, especially with new buyers, tends to be dominated by range. The claimed range figures for the EV9 won\'t light anyone\'s hair on fire, particularly with the GT-Line model and its not-so-whopping 270 miles (434 km) or the bottom-of-the-barrel Light RWD model that only offers 230 miles (370 km). Still, these figures should prove to be ample for most Americans.</p>                                            \n                                                        \n<p>Like other E-GMP-based vehicles, the EV9 is built on an 800 V architecture and supports DC fast charging at up to 235 kW. The onboard AC charger is rated at 10.9 kW, and for home-based level 2 charging, Kia is partnering with Wallbox and is pushing that company\'s Quasar 2 home charging setup. While the Quasar\'s vehicle-to-load and vehicle-to-home capabilities are neat, its $4,000-plus price before installation isn\'t, and neither is Kia\'s decision to not sell them through dealers, preventing new EV buyers from wrapping the system into their car loan.</p>\n<p>On the road, the EV9 is just nice. It\'s not particularly quick, even in its most performative variant. Kia claims a 4.5 second 0–60 time, but that\'s only if you pay for the acceleration boost unlock (more on this later), and while that\'s not slow per se, it won\'t impress veteran EV drivers. Ride quality is also average. Like many other Kias, the suspension is tuned on the slightly firmer side, but it\'s not harsh, even over very broken pavement.</p>\n<figure><a alt=\"Only the EV9 GT-Line features an exterior vehicle-to-load AC outlet.\" data-height=\"1707\" data-width=\"2560\" href=\"https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/20182_2024_EV9_GT-Line-scaled.jpg\"><img alt=\"Only the EV9 GT-Line features an exterior vehicle-to-load AC outlet.\" height=\"653\" src=\"https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/20182_2024_EV9_GT-Line-980x653.jpg\" width=\"980\"></img></a><figcaption><p><a data-height=\"1707\" data-width=\"2560\" href=\"https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/20182_2024_EV9_GT-Line-scaled.jpg\">Enlarge</a> <span>/</span> Only the EV9 GT-Line features an exterior vehicle-to-load AC outlet.</p><p>Kia</p></figcaption></figure>\n<p>The EV9\'s steering is perfectly ignorable in most drive modes, but it leans hard into artificially heavy territory in sport mode. The EV9 has a super long wheelbase—122 inches (3,098 mm) vs. the Telluride\'s 114.2 inches (2,900), despite being essentially the same size—but it lacks any kind of rear-wheel steering, meaning that parking lot maneuvers are a bit of a chore—and don\'t even think about u-turns unless you\'re ready to do a very fast three-point turn.</p>\n\n                                                </div>\n\n            \n            \n                            <nav>Page: <span>1 <a href=\"https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/01/2024-kia-ev9-first-drive-a-flawed-but-fine-family-flagship/2/\">2</a> <a href=\"https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/01/2024-kia-ev9-first-drive-a-flawed-but-fine-family-flagship/3/\">3</a> <a href=\"https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/01/2024-kia-ev9-first-drive-a-flawed-but-fine-family-flagship/2/\"><span>Next <span>→</span></span></a></span></nav>\n            \n        </section>\n    </div>', 'Kia bets on edgy design, a futuristic interior, and plenty of interior space.', 'https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/21758_2024_EV9-760x380.jpg', '322', NULL, NULL, '', 'newsapi', NULL, NULL, '2024-02-09', '728', '0', '0', NULL, NULL, NULL),

Sound, and often the absence thereof, was used to build suspense and create extremely effective jump scares. The <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Quiet_Place_Part_II\">2021 sequel</a> followed the same basic rules. So it\'s a bit jarring that the official trailer for the new spinoff film, <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Quiet_Place:_Day_One\"><em>A Quiet Place: Day One</em></a>, is rife with the sounds of New York City streets. It\'s written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, who co-wrote the original film with John Krasinski.</p>\n<p><strong>(Spoilers below for the first two films.)</strong></p>\n<p>As I\'ve <a href=\"https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/01/start-the-new-year-right-with-terrifying-trailer-for-a-quiet-place-part-ii/\">written previously</a>, <em>A Quiet Place</em> had a simple premise: in early 2020, sightless extraterrestrial creatures wiped out most of the humans and animals on Earth. They hunt by sound thanks to their hypersensitive hearing and are difficult to kill because they sport tough armored skin. The film centered on the Abbott family, struggling to survive a few months after the initial invasion. Dad Lee (John Krasinski) was an engineer focused on keeping his family alive each day. Wife Evelyn (Emily Blunt) was a doctor, pregnant with their fourth child.</p>\n<p>Eldest daughter Regan was deaf—played by deaf actress Millicent Simmonds (who helped teach the rest of the cast American Sign Language since that\'s how the Abbotts communicated when out in the open). Then there were her brothers: Marcus (Noah Jupe) and 4-year-old Beau (Cade Woodward), who was tragically killed early on by a creature, devastating the entire family (and the audience). Eventually, the family figured out the aliens\' weak spot (they were vulnerable to the high-frequency audio feedback of Regan\'s hearing aid). Lee sacrificed himself to save his family, and the film ended with Evelyn, Regan, and Marcus armed and ready for an approaching pair of creatures.</p>\n<p>Krasinski originally intended <em>A Quiet Place</em> to be a one-off standalone film, but it was a critical and box office hit, ultimately grossing $340 million globally against its modest $17 million budget. So naturally, there was a sequel featuring the surviving family members as they processed their loss and encountered other survivors, including Emmett (Cillian Murphy), a former family friend who lost his pregnant wife and two sons and became a bitter hermit. Regan decided to help the others defend themselves against the predators, and Emmett reluctantly joined her mission. Meanwhile, Evelyn and Marcus tried to keep the new baby safe and quiet while waiting for Regan and Emmett to return.</p>                                            \n                                                        \n<p>The pandemic delayed the film\'s release until 2021, but it still grossed $297.4<span> </span>million worldwide against a substantially larger $55 million budget.

The cast also includes Alex Wolff and Denis O\'Hare in as-yet-undisclosed roles.</p>\n<p>The trailer opens by briefly reminding us of what came before: the Abbott family on Day 471, before tragedy struck, followed by the survivors on Day 477, including a brief glimpse of Murphy\'s Emmett. Then the clock winds back to Day 1 as Sam walks down the streets of Manhattan holding a pretty white cat. Naturally, all hell breaks loose as the creatures crash to Earth and promptly begin devouring any readily available humans. (They\'re probably just cranky and ravenous after that interstellar journey.) There\'s very little dialogue, and not much else happens, so we\'ll have to see whether Sarnoski has successfully fleshed out a spinoff backstory for this fascinating fictional world.</p>\n<p><em>A Quiet Place: Day One</em> hits theaters on June 28, 2024.</p>\n\n        <p><em>Listing image by YouTube/Paramount</em></p>\n                                                      </div>\n\n            \n            \n            \n        </section>', '“Experience the day the world went quiet.â€', 'https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/quiet1-760x380.jpg', '322', NULL, NULL, '', 'newsapi', NULL, NULL, '2024-02-09', '728', '0', '0', NULL, NULL, NULL),

Now, the service has officially given up on its tussle with Apple.</p><p>Beeper Mini has officially left the Play Store as the team behind the messaging platform sets its sights on building the ultimate chat app, not just chasing blue bubbles anymore. Beeper Mini\'s removal from Google\'s app marketplace appears to have taken place a few weeks ago, with the official announcement made later in a message sent out to Beeper Cloud users (via <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" data-url=\"https://9to5google.com/2024/01/11/beeper-mini-play-store-removed-imessage/\" href=\"https://9to5google.com/2024/01/11/beeper-mini-play-store-removed-imessage/\" target=\"_blank\">9to5Google</a>).</p><p>Throughout 2023, the development of Beeper\'s iMessage integration <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/beeper-mini-launch-android-imessage\" href=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/beeper-mini-launch-android-imessage\">held promise for Android users longing for blue bubbles</a>. However, it took a downturn when the company launched Beeper Mini, a Beeper Cloud spinoff that charged $2 a month for iMessage on Android. </p><p>The initial purpose of Beeper Mini was thwarted when <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/beeper-mini-stops-working\" href=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/beeper-mini-stops-working\">Apple patched the exploit used for reverse-engineering iMessage</a> due to security concerns. The saga involved a cat-and-mouse game between Beeper and Apple, leading to Beeper Mini\'s demise and a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/beeper-mini-returns\" href=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/beeper-mini-returns\">return to the pre-Mini method of forwarding messages through an iPhone or Mac</a>.</p><p>Beeper Mini was designed for local operations connecting directly to Apple\'s servers, but changes forced Beeper to adopt a cloud-based solution, rendering Mini redundant. As a result, Beeper has consolidated its offerings by removing Beeper Mini from the Play Store and moving iMessage to the \"Labs\" section in Beeper Cloud.</p><p>Eric Migicovsky, Beeper\'s CEO, also shared Beeper\'s roadmap, emphasizing the development of an all-encompassing app that merges Mini and Cloud features. So, while Beeper Mini is unavailable on the Play Store, it is expected to return with new functionalities, including support for other <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/best-messaging-apps\" href=\"https://www.androidcentral.com/best-messaging-apps\">chat apps</a>.</p><p>Migicovsky added that the updated Beeper Android app will integrate 14 other chat networks, featuring a new design that incorporates speed and performance upgrades.</p><p>While the concept of phone number-based iMessages on Android is now completely abandoned, Beeper continues with its cloud-based iMessage solution, which proves to be a valuable tool for Android users.</p>\n</div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-3g7gjDKyeduQPXbKHNX4zP\"><div data-hydrate=\"true\"><div><section></section><section><p>Get the latest news from Android Central, your trusted companion in the world of Android</p></section></div></div></div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-3g7gjDKyeduQPXbKHNX4zP\"><div><p>Jay Bonggolto always keeps a nose for news.
