Dyson’s new Supersonic r will have RFID attachments. | Image: Dyson Dyson first launched its Supersonic hairdryer in 2016‚ but the high-tech hairdryer hasn’t really changed much since then — until now. Just in time for New York Fashion Week‚ Dyson is announcing the Supersonic r‚ an upgraded $569.99 hairdryer for professional stylists. Right away‚ you can tell the Supersonic r is‚ well‚ r-shaped. Steve Williamson‚ Dyson’s hair care category manager‚ says that’s to accommodate the different ways pros use hairdryers compared to how you or I might use one. In short‚ the Supersonic r had to be lighter and more maneuverable. Compared to the original Supersonic‚ the r is 30 percent smaller and 20 percent lighter‚ weighing 325g or 11oz. “If you’re using it at home‚ maybe you do a half-hour blow dry session....

Image: Toei Animation Funimation is shutting down on April 2nd‚ 2024. The anime streaming service will start migrating existing subscribers to Crunchyroll — a move that will not only affect subscription prices‚ but will also wipe digital libraries. A support page on Funimation’s website says the service will automatically transfer existing subscribers to Crunchyroll‚ noting that the transfer “may vary depending on your specific payment platform‚ subscription type and region.” But the page — unhelpfully — doesn’t say how much subscribers will have to pay following the transition‚ only that legacy subscribers will see a price increase. You’ll have to check your email to see how much you’ll have to pay. Screenshot by Emma Roth / The Verge S... Continue reading…

The Rabbit r1 is a smartphone-like AI device that was one of the most exciting things from CES 2024. Rabbit's keynote was a particular highlight as the startup gave the world a glimpse of the future of AI. It's not just generative AI like ChatGPT that can answer most of your questions and prompts. The r1 introduces a new kind of AI‚ which can interact with your apps and perform tasks for you.  Rabbit uses a "large action model" (LAM) to power this sort of AI feature‚ while large language models (LLM) offer more common features like what you might do with ChatGPT. Perplexity helps facilitate these features on the Rabbit r1. Put differently‚ the Rabbit r1 can do a bunch of stuff that ChatGPT can't do. The ChatGPT rivals out there from Google and Microsoft can't do it either. However‚ a new report about OpenAI's next plans indicates that the ChatGPT creator is looking to develop features that would let you control your device with the help of AI‚ just like you would on the Rabbit r1.  That sounds like the future of AI I'm waiting for. And it's the kind of personal AI functionality I want to see built into the next-generation iPhones courtesy of iOS 18. Continue reading...
