All the best robot vacuums for your hardwood floors

Robot vacuums have revolutionised the way we clean the house. We no longer have to be home in order to clean because robot vacuums run on schedules that you can set for while you're at work, running to the shop, or even on holiday.

If you don't have carpet, you might not be as inclined to invest in a robot vacuum cleaner, but these little machines are actually beasts when it comes to hardwood flooring.

Do robot vacuums really work?

Robot vacuums are usually not as efficient as upright vacuum cleaners. Their suction isn't as powerful and you just can't get the same kind of clean that you get from eyeballing your floors and going back over spots you can tell you missed. Of course, some robot vacuums do have features that allow them to detect problem areas with extra dirt and debris buildup where the vacuum will put in extra attention, but that's not necessarily the standard across all price points.  Read more...

Facebook says it removed the internet's 12 most prominent anti-vaxxers. 10 are still on the social network.

One month ago, a report came out detailing how the majority of the anti-vaccination disinformation spreading online originated from just 12 individuals.

During a hearing at the time, CEOs of the Big Tech companies vowed to take on the falsehoods running rampant on their platforms and threatening public health.

Fast forward to today. While the Big Tech CEOs didn't show up for Tuesday's Congressional hearing, the companies did send representatives. And, when asked about these 12 anti-vaxxers, known as the Disinformation Dozen, a Facebook executive said that the social network took action on what was included in the report. Read more...

Lyft is selling its autonomous vehicle division to Toyota

Fewer than six months after Uber offloaded its self-driving tech development unit, Lyft is ditching its own too.

Lyft is selling its self-driving unit to Woven Planet, a subsidiary of Toyota, in a cash deal worth $550 million, both companies announced on Monday afternoon.

The deal, which constitutes $200 million upfront and the rest over the next five years, takes Lyft's self-driving tech development expenses off its ledgers and also locks in Woven Planet to a partnership that will see the subsidiary using Lyft's platform to commercialise and manage its future robotaxi services.

The acquisition will see Lyft's existing autonomous vehicle development team, known as Level 5, move under Woven Planet Holdings' umbrella; Lyft's own consumer-experience and fleet management team focused on AV will stay in-house, rebranding from Lyft Open Platform to Lyft Autonomous.  Read more...

Glenn Close shook her ass to 'Da Butt' at the Oscars, and everyone loved it

This year in Oscar's history, veteran actor and producer Glenn Close shook her ass to 1988 funk track "Da Butt" by E.U. Not everyone was nominated at the 93rd Academy Awards, but all of us still won.

In a short segment celebrating movie music, actor Lil Rel Howery challenged Oscars attendees to identify famous film tracks from snippets played by DJ Questlove. Yet while Lil Rel Howery's banter with Best Supporting Actor winner Daniel Kaluuya was fun, it was Hillbilly Elegy star Glenn Close's quick identification of a song from the 1988 School Daze soundtrack that stole the show.

"I know that! 'Da Butt' was a classic song by the great Washington, D.C. go-go band E.U." said Close. "Shoutouts to Sugar Bear and the BackYard Band and the whole D.M.V." Read more...

'Husavik' didn't win an Oscar, but the preshow performance will win your heart

When Netflix's Will Ferrell vehicle Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga was released on the service last year, nothing about it really screamed Oscar contender — except for the soaring climactic number, "Husavik." (And Dan Stevens' wink, but we all knew the Academy wasn't ready for that.)

In a year where everyone was either very much at home or felt very far away from their home towns, and where whole cities stopped at the same time each day to applaud their hometown heroes, there was something heartwarming about "Husavik"  — a passionate, Disney-worthy ode to the simple beauty of the place where you're from and the love that always waits there for you. The residents of Husavik, the real-life fishing town in Iceland that Ferrell and Rachel McAdams' lead characters were from, were so thrilled by the song's success that they even made their own For Your Consideration video.

The Oscars red carpet was a joyous return to in-person events

The Oscars red carpet is often both the most glamourous and the least adventurous of awards season — but after A Weird Year, after an odd and unique awards season that saw famous and creative folks accepting and losing awards from their couches in everything from full couture to tie-dye hoodies, the select few who attended Sunday's in-person Oscars ceremony did not come to play.

That much was clear the second Ma Rainey's Black Bottom star Colman Domingo showed up in a retina-searing, gloriously shocking pink tux. Take a deep breath first:

Daniel Kaluuya's Oscars speech thanked his parents for having sex

Just when you thought it was safe to watch the Oscars with your parents.

The 93rd Academy Awards went down on Sunday, honoring the films that helped keep us from completely breaking down during the past year of racist pandemic hell. Among the winners was Judas and the Black Messiah actor Daniel Kaluuya, who won Best Supporting Actor for his role as Black Panther Party member Fred Hampton — his first Oscar win.

It was a big moment for Kaluuya, who thanked God, his friends, his family, and his co-workers in his four-minute acceptance speech. However the actor seemed to get a little carried away by his Oscar high toward the end, excited and thankful for everything that lead him to this moment — even down to the advent of his birth.

A stunning 'West Side Story' trailer just premiered at the Oscars

Tonight, tonight, we got The Trailer tonight! 

The first extended look at Steven Spielberg's new version of the classic musical West Side Story premiered during the Oscars Sunday night and all we can say is: Wow. 

The trailer, set to "Somewhere" from the score, is a mood-setting tease that showcases the fights, the energy, and, of course, the dancing. With a screenplay by Tony Kushner, the classic doomed love story between two teenagers with affiliations to different NY gangs stars Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler, Ariana DeBose, and more. 

As a special treat, fans also got a peek at Rita Moreno, who of course portrayed Anita in the 1961 Oscar-winning adaptation of the beloved musical and will also serve as an executive producer on this version.

West Side Story hits theaters Dec. 10.  Read more...

Why your next car might track passengers with radar

Plenty of cars (and not just autonomous ones) use radar to spot outside dangers on the road, like that pick-up truck in your blindspot.

But in the near future, radar imaging could be used to monitor what's going on inside of your car.

It could detect a baby left in the backseat, for example, or alert a distracted driver. It could even measure a passenger's heart rate through their chest movement. 

Carmakers are looking into radar technology since they'll need seat sensors and alerts in new U.S. vehicles by 2025 to prevent child fatalities. In 2019 there were 52 hot car deaths in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. More than half of them involved children left in a car, most of them kids under 2 years old.  Read more...
