Podcasts about Roomba

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 last week that the International Economic Emergency Powers Act does not give the president authority to impose tariffs—Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas dissenting. The administration now scrambles to implement its tariff policies as appeals and new legislation proceed. Meanwhile, America counts its treasures as the Winter Olympics close out: 12 gold medals, one among them won by the daughter of a Chinese refugee to the States. Go us! Plus: the AI overlord of the 7,000-strong Roomba army, and more.Recommended:The Tariff Wears Two Hats: What the SCOTUS Majority OverlookedWatch with video on Youtube This is a public episode.

We get deep in the weeds of YouTube strategy this week, debating whether ThumbnailTest.com is actually better than YouTube's native A/B testing tool, and why creating "composite" thumbnails is the ultimate creator hack (even if they look ridiculous up close). We roast the lazy corporate use of AI—from terrible automated meeting recaps to unsolicited "improved" thumbnails that magically add fake tool walls to our shops. Plus, we discuss a $10,000 Roomba-style air purifier, the great AI data center RAM shortage that is turning PC building outrageously expensive, and Zac's secret to recording voiceovers: giving a private TED Talk in your office.Got questions?

Christian ha respondido a preguntas  como qué opina de niños que juegan al fútbol con un Roomba o si la palabra "velcro" se escribe como suena. También habla sobre si un portero de fútbol es hiperactivo por no parar. Finalmente, se preguntan si las críticas de un albañil son constructivas. ¡Escucha de lunes a jueves la Encuesta Absurda de Fernando Martín!

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 12, 2026. 0:30 An AI safety researcher resigns from Anthropic, warning the world is “in peril”—but is the threat real or just more AI panic? We cut through the hype around artificial intelligence, copyright fears, job losses, and ethical alarms, questioning sloppy AI reporting that lumps Roombas, video games, and self-driving cars into the same doom narrative. From bold claims by Elon Musk to deeper questions about human dignity, accountability, and wisdom in the age of ChatGPT, this conversation asks the hard question: is AI the danger—or is it how we choose to use it? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The House voted to end President Trump's tariffs on Canada. The new Democrat governor of New Jersey is banning ICE from as much of the state as she can. The state of Florida will now require all drivers exams to be conducted in English only. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Cardi B ignites controversy after kicking off her “Little Miss Drama” tour by telling fans they should physically attack federal immigration officers if they show up — a statement that crosses the line from protest into outright incitement. We break down why Cardi B’s remarks aren’t protected speech, how celebrity shock tactics fuel “outrage economics,” and why reckless rhetoric with a megaphone can quickly turn into felony territory. 16:30 Valentine’s Day hits different when the kids are grown. The American Mamas — Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — get real about how romance, expectations, and love languages change over time. From ditching chocolates and flowers to finding joy in taken-out trash, phone-down conversations, pizza nights, and Netflix, this candid, funny conversation reframes Valentine’s Day for empty nesters. We also dive into why the holiday feels more natural for daters and kids, how modern couples plan experiences on the fly, and why love now is less about grand gestures and more about making life “move easy.” 22:00 Even if you can’t stand Donald Trump, here’s one move that hits home for everyday drivers. We break down how President Trump scrapped the Obama-era auto regulations that forced vehicles to shut off at stoplights — the hated start-stop engine feature many say damages engines and drives up car costs. The conversation takes aim at the green mandates rolled out under Barack Obama, argues they hurt American automakers, and explains why rolling them back could save drivers thousands per vehicle. Love him or hate him, this is one regulation repeal that might finally let your car idle in peace. 25:00 A deadly school shooting in British Columbia ignites a blunt, controversial conversation about media language, gender ideology, and mental health. After Canadian authorities — including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police — described the suspect based on self-identification rather than biology, we question what’s being obscured and why. We challenge claims that mass shootings are purely about guns, examine a series of recent high-profile attacks involving gender-dysphoric shooters, and argue society is misdiagnosing a mental health crisis as a political or cultural one. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 The federal government is sitting on 24 million square feet of underused office space—empty buildings that cost taxpayers billions in maintenance. We break down how bureaucratic waste keeps these properties off the market, despite proposals like Senator Joni Ernst’s new legislation to expedite sales. From peeling paint to costly mechanical systems, we discuss why letting these buildings languish is a drain on families, and why putting them back into commerce could save taxpayers billions. 35:00 We break down the EPA’s reversal of Obama-era carbon regulations— one of the most significant moves for American consumers in decades. From eliminating the hated automatic start-stop feature to rolling back greenhouse gas mandates on vehicles from 2012–2027, the change promises to save taxpayers over $1.3 trillion, restore consumer choice, and lower vehicle costs. We explore how decades of EPA overreach, fueled by the 2009 “endangerment finding,” drove up car prices, reshaped the auto industry, and sparked debates over government power versus economic freedom. 39:30 We tackle the controversy surrounding Eileen Ju, an American-born athlete who chose to compete for China in the Olympics. We question the idea of “global citizenship” in a competition that is, at its core, nation versus nation, and explore why representing another country after benefiting from the American system sparks outrage. Articles Sherrill signs order restricting ICE cooperation Florida Becomes Only the Fourth State to Offer English-Only Driver’s License Exams The media need to stop gaslighting us about the reality of trans mass shooters Trump's EPA revokes finding on greenhouse gas threat that underpinned US fight against climate change President Trump and Administrator Zeldin Deliver Single Largest Deregulatory Action in U.S. History Trump Announces ‘Largest Deregulatory Action In American History’ Follow us: americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you need more craigslist crackheads? https://www.youtube.com/playli... Welcome back to r/CrackheadCraigslist, the only place on Earth where a $52 round egg is somehow the least cursed thing you'll see today. In this video, we dive deep into the Craigslist trenches, reacting to Craigslist strange ads, Craziest Craigslist items, and yes—even a Pop-Tart armor lady who may or may not be sentient. Viewer discretion is advised. You can't unsee this. We're talking Craigslist nightmare listings, cursed collectibles, and funny Craigslist fails caught on camera—though some of them feel like the camera might've been cursed too. If you've ever thought, “Who would buy this literal garbage?”—congrats, you're already halfway through the r/CrackheadCraigslist mindset. From delusional sales pitches to cheap trash for ridiculous money, this episode is a parade of viral Craigslist ad reactions and bizarre resale listings that'll make you question capitalism, sanity, and whether or not that hot dog was really “lightly used.” ------------------------------------------------------------ #CraigslistFails #CrackheadCraigslist #MemeCompilation #InternetTrash #RedditReacts Discord: https://discord.gg/Sju7YckUWu Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/daytondo...

Dean Takahashi is the dean of tech writers and a 25-year veteran correspondent covering consumer electronics, gaming, and emerging technology for GamesBeat. He's covered every major tech transition—from mobile's rise to VR's boom-and-bust cycles to the current AI explosion—with a skeptical eye and a talent for finding the human story beneath the hype. This is his fifth appearance on the AI XR Podcast.For CES 2026, Dean walked the floors across the Convention Center, the Venetian Expo Center (Eureka Park), Pepcom, and Showstoppers, emerging with a clear reading: China has decisively shifted from periphery to center stage in consumer electronics manufacturing, American incumbents are pulling back and rethinking their booth strategy, and the economics of CES itself are in transition. Robotics companies are moving from prototype to commercial faster than expected—but they still can't answer basic questions about pricing and labor displacement.News: Sony cuts its booth to demo an electric car instead of TVs. Samsung skips the show floor entirely for the first time. Nvidia takes over the Fontainebleau to showcase its role in robotics enablement. Lenovo dominates the Sphere with a Gwen Stefani concert. Chinese robotics companies proliferate with laundry folders, latte makers, and toilet-cleaning units. Roomba files for bankruptcy; Chinese competitors take over the robotic vacuum market.Key Moments:[00:01:23] Dean receives his virtual green jacket as a five-time returning guest and Charlie thanks him for his insights[00:03:00] China takeover at CES: TCL dominates Central Hall, ROED owns the XR booth, robotics companies fill the floor[00:06:00] Nvidia's Fontainebleau takeover and the "chest-pumping" show of force; why scale messaging still matters[00:14:18] The robotics explosion explained: Nvidia's digital twins, Cosmos world models, and synthetic testing accelerate time-to-market[00:19:00] The pricing problem: robotics companies won't answer how much their products cost; the minimum wage rental model doesn't translate globallyWhen American companies built the show, CES reflected American manufacturing dominance. Now that China manufactures most consumer electronics, CES reflects that shift—and the implications ripple through labor, supply chains, and where the next epicenter of innovation will be. Dean, Charlie, and Ted grapple with what CES 2026 signals about global manufacturing advantage and why the geography of tech matters more than we think.This episode is brought to you by Zappar, creators of Mattercraft—the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences for mobile headsets and desktop.

News and Updates: California Data Privacy Law- California's new Delete Act lets residents demand mass deletion of personal data from brokers via one website, signaling the strongest U.S. pushback yet against covert data surveillance. iRobot Bankruptcy & Privacy Fears- iRobot's bankruptcy and acquisition by Chinese supplier Picea raise alarms over Roomba home-mapping data security, despite CEO assurances data stays U.S.-hosted and privacy practices remain unchanged. Prison Cell Phone Jamming Debate- Wireless carriers warn FCC prison phone jamming proposals would block all communications, including 911, arguing managed access systems already stop contraband phones without disrupting lawful wireless, Wi-Fi, or GPS signals. Microsoft 365 Copilot Branding Confusion- Microsoft did not rename Office to Copilot, but confusing app rebrands and Office.com messaging blurred lines between Microsoft 365 subscriptions and the Microsoft 365 Copilot hub app. Tesla Loses “Cybercab” Trademark- Tesla lost its Cybercab trademark after filing late, allowing a French company to claim it, another branding stumble following earlier failures to trademark “Robotaxi” for being overly generic.

The new year has only just begun, and already we have seen an event with massive significance for the world of energy. The US operation to remove Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro opens a new era for a country that holds – according to some definitions – the world's largest oil reserves.So far there has been little impact on oil markets. But what are the implications going to be for energy in the months and years to come? To discuss how this volatile situation might evolve, host Ed Crooks is joined by regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe, Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab, and an expert on oil earlier in her career. History never repeats itself, the saying goes, but sometimes it rhymes. Amy draws a parallel between Venezuela today, and Iraq after the US-led invasion and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003. There are some similarities in the position of the two oil-rich countries, which were both dragged down by mismanagement and sanctions. But Amy argues that Venezuela's oil system is in far worse shape, with looted equipment, chronic power and fuel shortages, and damage that may not be reversible.Melissa Lott, another Energy Gang regular, also joins the show, and raises the question of what regime change in Venezuela might mean for the energy transition. Melissa is a partner at Microsoft, but appearing on the show in her usual role as an independent commentator and energy expert. Then it's on to the other places, people and technologies that are likely to make a big impact on energy this year. Ed is watching the Gulf Coast buildout of new liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants. It is a boom so big that Wood Mackenzie expects US LNG exports to roughly double from 2023 levels by around 2030, with more growth beyond.The gang assesses the likely consequences of surging LNG supplies: downward pressure on global gas prices, and potential financial strain for exporters. There is also the possibility that a peace deal in Ukraine could make the oversupply even worse, by allowing more Russian gas to flow west into European markets. Next up, it's people to watch in 2026. Melissa names the US energy secretary Chris Wright, and Ed picks new FERC chairman Laura Swett. As the US power grid, and its energy system more generally, face mounting challenges because of the growth in data centers needed for AI, effective policy and regulation will be critical. Amy chooses China's President Xi Jinping: the country's next five-year plan could reshape the global competition for energy dominance.On technologies to watch, battery storage is a hot topic. Melissa and Ed discuss the supply chains needed to meet growing demand, and innovative products such as Form Energy's iron-air batteries, which are being deployed in a first-ever commercial project that will be fully operational this year. Amy's choice is humanoid robots. They're expensive and still imperfect, but are they going to rule the future? They are already being trialled for repetitive factory tasks. Amy says her Roomba can't cope with a spilt bowl of cereal. But will new flexible AI-guided robots be able to do the job properly?Follow the show so you don't miss an episode this year – it's going to be a busy one.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jeanine was suppose to join us but she forgot how to read and tell time.   We kick the show off discussing the announcement that The Rolling Stones have canceled their 2026 worldwide tour, and it is for the most unlikely reason.   We then move on to discussing the news that iOS 26.3 will bring AirPod like pairing to third party devices in the EU> Oh no.   Waymo's go bonkers in San Francisco Blackout.   We then tackle the yearly discussion of Don't Get Scrooged with scams this holiday season.   We then discuss how Roomba invented the smart vaccum and lost the future.   We then dive in the Instacart debacle that Instacart has been using A.I. and dynamic pricing to charge different customers different prices on the same item. Which then led to lawmakers looking in to taking action against Instacart. After a really bad ten days for Instacart, they claim they have ended using their A.I  dynamic pricing program.   We then dive in to our year end review spectacular portion of the show, starting off with discussing the new internet slang that Gen-Z gave us in 2025.   Next up we discuss the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Apple in 2025. Next up we discuss what could have been one of google's worst years, turned in to one of its best. We then discuss how A.I. broke the smart home in 2025.    We then get personal with you starting out with our favorite tech innovations and products of 2025. Next we discuss our biggest tech disappointments for the year. We then discuss a couple of personal goals we were proud of in 2025. And it wouldn't be a year end review if we didn't discuss our regrets for the year. And we end discussing what we are looking forward to in 2026.   And it's more of What's Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading end of year style.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005. 

In "All In", Book and Tarka could have gone ANYWHERE in the galaxy, and tracking them down will surely be...oh there they are. Well, with that done in the first 5 minutes, we're going to have some casino shenanigans. Owo goes sharking while Michael and Book have a poker argument, all in an attempt to get their hands on a powerful Macguffin! Meanwhile, Culber's mad at a Roomba. Also this week: the Star Trek Cantina, intergalactic idiom, and sci-fi villains!

El fabricante de la Roomba, la aspiradora robot más popular del mundo, se ha declarado en quiebra y dejará de cotizar en la Bolsa estadounidense. ¿Quién era iRobot y cómo ha llegado a esta situación? Marta Peirano nos lo explica.Escuchar audio

This week, iRobot, the pioneering American robotics company behind the Roomba, filed for bankruptcy and announced that it would be taken over by its Chinese creditor. Colin Angle, a co-founder and a former longtime chief executive of the company, joins us to explain why the company lost its market dominance and what America should do to protect its newest crop of A.I. and robotics start-ups from the same fate. Then, we settle the score on our high, medium and low predictions from last year and lay down our new ones — including a spicy take on who will take over after Tim Cook at Apple. And finally, we wish all of our listeners a very happy holiday season with our annual tech-themed Christmas carol. Guest:Colin Angle, iRobot co-founder and former chief executive for over three decades. Additional Reading: Roomba Maker iRobot Files for Bankruptcy, With Chinese Supplier Taking ControliRobot Is in Trouble, but Roomba Is Already DeadOur 2025 Tech Predictions and Resolutions We want to hear from you.

Rob Reiner - A son of legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, producer Michele Singer Reiner, Nick Reiner, is being held on suspicion of murder following their deaths, according to Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell. He's being held on $4 million bail. - Citing law enforcement sources and family friends, ABC News reported on Monday that Nick Reiner had recently returned to live at his parents' South Chadbourne Avenue home. The move was described as a temporary arrangement intended to help him stabilize. - Not going to discuss the Truth Social post about this tragedy HEADLINE ALERT - "Copper could hit ‘stratospheric new highs' as hoarding of the metal in U.S. continues" - Copper has gone from 5.77 to 5.30 (July to today) - 6 Tops at this price since 2011 - Not seeing this as per the headline - seems like a Hunt Brothers special from the 1980s - CORNERING THE MARKET ---1980 - Silver went from $11 to $50 then crashed, bankrupting the Hunt Bros - after COMEX changed rules forcing them to cover positions Bankruptcy - After 35 years, the maker of the Roomba robot vacuum filed for bankruptcy protection late Sunday night. Following warnings issued earlier this year that it was fast running out of options, iRobot says it is entering Chapter 11 protection and will be acquired by its contract manufacturer, China-based Picea Robotics. - The company says it will continue to operate “with no anticipated disruption to its app functionality, customer programs, global partners, supply chain relationships, or ongoing product support.” - Remember that Amazon  - The Amazon buyout of iRobot, maker of Roomba, was announced in 2022 for $1.7 billion but ultimately failed in January 2024 due to significant regulatory pushback, primarily from the EU, over anti-competitive concerns. -- Amazon walked away with a $94 million termination fee Fed Pick - President Donald Trump said Friday that Kevin Warsh has moved to the top of his list as the next Federal Reserve chair, though Kevin Hassett also remains in contention, according to the Wall Street Journal. - Interesting that this comes days after Hassett said that we would not let outside suggestions influence his voting - ---In addition to putting heavier weight on Warsh getting the job, Trump repeated an assertion he has made in the past that the Fed chair ought to consult the president about interest rate decisions. - Also of interest, prediction markets had Hassett at 95% probability - now it moved to 50% - big payday for people in the know. Housing Prices - Average home price is DOWN on  year-over-year basis - First time on national level since 2024 - Active listings in November were nearly 13% higher than November 2024, but new listings were just 1.7% higher --- Houses are on market longer - - Prices in Austin, Texas, are down 10% from last year; in Denver, they're down 5%, according to Parcl Labs. Tampa, Florida, and Houston both saw prices fall 4%, and Atlanta and Phoenix saw price decreases of 3%. More Hosing Related -  Zillow shares plunged more than 9% on Monday on worries that the online real estate platform could have a big new competitor: Google Search. - Google appears to be running tests on putting real estate sale listings into its search results. Overdue Eco  - Black Hole - The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday releases its long-awaited combined employment reports for October and November, but a number of key details will be missing after the government shutdown prevented data collection, including October's unemployment rate, resulting in the first-ever gap in that critical data series since inception in 1948. - NICE JOB GANG! - Some of the data will be estimated. - It said it would not publish the headline CPI number or the so-called core CPI, which strips out the volatile food and energy components, for October. "BLS cannot provide specific guidance to data users for navigating the missing October observations," the agency said. Some Updates - Some info coming in are estimates - some delayed - Unemployment at 4.6% - Latest report shows +64,000 added - ISM Manufacturing and Non-manufacturing - both slowed over the last month The Fed - Meanwhile the Fed cuts rates.... - A Federal Reserve split over where its priorities should lie cut its key interest rate Wednesday in a 9-3 vote, but signaled a tougher road ahead for further reductions. - The FOMC's “dot plot” indicated just one more reduction in 2026 and another in 2027, amid considerable disagreement from members about where rates should head. - In addition to the rate decision, the Fed also announced it will resume buying Treasury securities. The central bank will start by buying $40 billion in Treasury bills, beginning Friday. - Markets were all over the place on this as it was a little confusing at first - then it seemed that everyone loved (for one day) - Why is the Fed moving up Treasury purchases to "immediately" from a few months from now? - AND - dissension ! A larger group  that usual of regional Fed bank presidents signaled they opposed the cut, and six policymakers said the benchmark federal funds rate should end 2025 in a range of 3.75% to 4%, suggesting they opposed the move. - Long bonds have not moved at all on this news. Costco Earnings - Costco beat Wall Street's fiscal first-quarter sales and revenue expectations. - Sales rose 8.2% and digital sales jumped 20.5% compared with the year-ago quarter. - Costco surpassed Wall Street's quarterly expectations and posted year-over-year sales growth of 8.2% as the retailer attracted more digital sales and opened new locations. - Earnings per share: $4.50 vs. $4.27 expected - Revenue: $67.31 billion vs. $67.14 billion expected - Costco does not provide year ahead guidance - Shares down from a recent high of $855 Costco Fun Facts - About 4.5 million pies were sold in the three days before Thanksgiving, which is equivalent to roughly 7,000 pies per warehouse. -  These were bakery pies (e.g., pumpkin, apple), - Costco had more than $250 million in non-food online orders on Black Friday, a record for Costco's U.S. e-commerce business. - Approximately 358,000 whole pizzas were served at Costco's U.S. food courts, a 31% jump from last year. (500 pizza's per store) Fat No More - Retatrutide - Eli Lilly said its next-generation obesity drug delivered what appears to be the highest weight loss seen so far in a late-stage trial and reduced knee arthritis pain, clearing the first of several upcoming studies on the weekly injection. - In a 48-week Phase 2 study, participants on the highest dose lost an average of 24% of their body weight. - Recent Phase 3 results showed patients on the highest dose lost an average of 28.7% of their body weight after 68 weeks. - The trials also showed improvements in related health conditions, including knee osteoarthritis pain, blood pressure, and liver fat - This triple action is what makes retatrutide potentially more effective for weight loss than existing medications like Zepbound (tirzepatide), which targets two receptors, or Wegovy (semaglutide), which targets only one. Paypal - PayPal Holdings Inc. applied to become a bank in the US, looking to take advantage of the Trump administration's openness to financial-technology companies entering the banking system. - The payments-focused firm submitted applications to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions to form a Utah-chartered industrial loan company, PayPal said in a statement Monday. - If approved, PayPal Bank would help the firm bolster its small-business lending capabilities, according to the statement, which said the company has provided access to more than $30 billion in loans and capital since 2013. Ford - Management Confused - Instead of planning to make enough electric vehicles to account for 40 percent of global sales by 2030—as it pledged just four years ago—Ford says it will focus on a broader range of hybrids, extended-range electrics, and battery-electric models, which executives now say will account for 50 percent of sales by the end of the decade. - The automaker will make hybrid versions of almost every vehicle in its lineup, the company says. - All in on EVS cost them -  Ford expects to record about $19.5 billion in special items, mostly during the fourth quarter. ---- The charges are related to a restructuring of its business priorities and a pullback in its all-electric vehicle investments. Australia - Australia has implemented a groundbreaking ban preventing children under 16 from accessing major social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, effective December 2025, to protect them from harm, with significant fines for companies failing to enforce it, though messaging apps and gaming platforms are currently exempt. - Reddit is suing - Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, X (Twitter), YouTube, Reddit, Kick, and Twitch are all banned for kids under 16. - Thoughts on this? Saved For Last - Of all the eye-popping numbers that Oracle Corp. published last week on the costs of its artificial-intelligence data center buildout, the most striking didn't appear until the day after its earnings press release and analyst call. - The more comprehensive 10-Q earnings report that appeared on Thursday detailed $248 billion of lease-payment commitments, “substantially all” related to data centers and cloud capacity arrangements, the business-software firm said. These are due to commence between now and its 2028 financial year but they're not yet included on its balance sheet. - That's almost $150 billion more than was disclosed in the footnotes of September's earnings update.

Robot Roomba gone wild

CADENA 100 anuncia al colegio Madres Concepcionistas de Segovia como el ganador del concurso de villancicos de este año. El equipo de 'Buenos días, Javi y Mar' visita el centro el 17 de diciembre para celebrar la Navidad y se agradece la participación a todos, con la promesa de seguir emitiendo villancicos de otros colegios. Repsol une energías con CADENA 100 en esta edición. En el apartado de noticias, se informa de la sanción a Airbnb con 64 millones de euros por anunciar vivienda sin licencia y de la nueva tasa de 3 euros que la Unión Europea cobra desde el 1 de julio por paquetes pequeños de fuera de Europa (Temu, Aliexpress, Shein). iRobot, creadora de Roomba, se declara en bancarrota debido a la fuerte competencia, y el actor Héctor Alterio fallece a los 96 años. Jimena presenta jeroglíficos auditivos de villancicos clásicos. En la sección de anécdotas navideñas, se comenta sobre el "síndrome del árbol torcido", que genera discusiones familiares al decorar, y se comparten ...

Here at The Vergecast, we get a lot of questions. Questions from you, which we love! Questions that, for some reason, often tend to be about the smart home and why it's often not so very smart. So on this episode, the first in a two-part series, The Verge's Jennifer Pattison Tuohy helps us answer a whole bunch of your questions. Questions like: what's Apple's deal with the smart home? Are there any good smart faucets? And what's about to happen to my robot vacuum cleaner? Jen helps us wade through all that and more. We also go on a long diversion about smart smoke detectors, which are pretty awesome.
