New York Times Cooking is coming to Meta's AI and display glasses
The app is getting a "hands-free" mode that can narrate recipe steps. When I reviewed Meta's display-enabled glasses last year, I was really curious to see if they would be useful while cooking. I spend a lot of time trying new recipes, and being able to see the steps right in front of my eyes sounded so much more convenient than having to repeatedly unlock and scroll through my phone with dirty hands.

Bellroy’s leather Pixel 11 Pro case is a keeper
Like any sane capitalist, I love getting new stuff. But there’s something heartening about those new things settling into age, like a fecund garden becoming slightly unwieldy, or a pair of shoes getting more comfortable as you use them. Similarly, I’ve always enjoyed the way a well-made leather case ages as it weathers the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Traditionally called a patina, it’s the lived-in quality that a piece of leather inherits…

Galaxy Buds On : à quoi ressemblent les écouteurs open-ear de Samsung une fois portés
Jusqu’ici, les Galaxy Buds On se résumaient à des rendus et des icônes d’application, comme le montrait une première fuite début septembre. Les photos repérées par Android Healines montrent enfin le clip accroché autour de l’oreille, plutôt que posé sur le pavillon comme d’autres écouteurs ouverts. L’une des deux images ressemble même à un visuel marketing. Le port paraît un peu inconfortable, mais le format est déjà courant. Le nom, lui, n’est pas réellement…

Meet Feather, the startup building the ‘Android of robotics’ for developers
If there is one thing robotics founders and investors agree on, it’s that the “ChatGPT moment” where a general-purpose robot can seamlessly adapt to any environment has not arrived. Opinions vary on whether the breakthrough is just around the corner or a decade away. Feather Robotics, a humanoid startup founded last year, is developing a robot for either timeline.
