As advanced as modern cameras are, they still struggle with mixed lighting conditions. New technology can adapt to changing light faster than the human eye, potentially making self-driving cars safer and even serving as a visual aid in the future.

IBM has developed the blueprint for producing a processor using sub-1-nanometer chip technology, outdoing its own efforts to increase efficiency and processing power with 2-nm tech from a few years ago.

Laser engraving custom graphics can elevate your craft projects to make them feel more polished and personalized. A new tool for the job that we've just come across – the Hanboost T1 – looks like a great entry point for beginners.

Faraday Future has had an awfully rough go of building an electric car brand. It's now shifting gears to wade into the world of robotics and physical AI – and it has a heap of robots on offer, including a multipurpose $90,000 humanoid.

Meta's been adding tech to glasses for the last few years now, in partnership with Ray-Ban and Oakley. It's now launched a new range of smart glasses with AI smarts on board, sans those brand names.

The market for smart glasses is becoming increasingly crowded, but the benefit for consumers is that makers also produce technology that caters to specific audiences. And the BleeqUp Ranger does exactly that, in unashamedly action-capturing style.

What began as an attempt to regain control of a music collection gradually turned into a self-hosting journey, a NAS box, local AI and a small homelab. A personal reflection on convenience, ownership and where we choose to draw the line between them.
