This robot has everything: near-perfect cleaning capabilities (including floors, walls, and waterline), a powerful battery with six hours of charge under the water, AI-powered debris detection, and a solid mobile app. It also has the ability to skim the surface of the pool. When finished cleaning, the AquaSense 2 Ultra floats, so collecting it is just a matter of grabbing it from the comfort of the deck. After a quick cleanup, drop the robot on the included charging stand to juice it back up, no cables required.What’s not to like? Only two things, really. Monstrous cleaning ability requires a monstrous…
Peranakan heritage food biz Tiap Tiap began selling on a Facebook group, now it’s a full-fledged shopfront Most food businesses start with a business plan. Peranakan heritage food brand Tiap Tiap started with a pandan cake and friends who wouldn’t stop asking Sophia Yeow to cook for them. Six years on, what began as a two-product home-based operation during Singapore’s circuit breaker has grown into a brick-and-mortar shopfront on East Coast Road in Joo Chiat. It’s a fitting location for the brand, rooted in the Peranakan heritage of the neighbourhood where Sophia grew up. Vulcan Post spoke with Sophia, 55,…
The jscrambler npm package was compromised, and simply installing its 8.14.0 release runs an infostealer on your machine. Published on July 11, 2026, the malicious version carries a preinstall hook that drops and executes a native binary, one build each for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Socket flagged the release six minutes after it was published. If you or one of your build systems pulled it in that window, the payload has already run with whatever access your install process had. None of this is in the prior release, 8.13.0. The package diff shows two new files under dist/: setup.js, a small loader, and intro.js. Despite the name, intro.js is not JavaScript but a roughly…

Vinod Khosla speaks at a fireside chat at AI House in Seattle in March 2025. (GeekWire File Photo) Vinod Khosla has spent four decades building and funding companies around a single idea: hire the right people and get out of their way. He’s one of the most respected and influential investors in Silicon Valley, with a track record of big bets and a habit of not backing down. On Saturday, a group led by the billionaire venture capitalist and his family agreed to buy the Seattle Seahawks from the estate of the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen for a reported…
Google’s new AI ad labels aim for transparency, but rely on an “honor system” that lets deceptive advertisers fly under the radar. Is it enough to save trust? Google is pulling back the curtain on the AI slop clogging our screens as of July 2026. The tech giant has expanded its “How this ad was made” transparency labels across Search, YouTube, and Discover. If your ad is machine-generated, Google’s “My Ad Center” panel will now (theoretically) tell us. It sounds like a win for consumer trust, but let’s be honest: it’s mostly theater. If you’re using Google’s native AI tools,…
Here’s the problem with friendship these days: People say they have quality people in their corner, are even satisfied with the number of friends they have, and yearn to see them more often. Despite all this, Americans are actually spending less time socializing than ever before — a mere 35 minutes a day in 2025. When we do make plans, we schedule them weeks in advance. (Cue the I’m just so busy!) By the time the date finally rolls around, we might cancel, because we’re too stressed and want to veg out on the couch instead. In other words, we…
The Volkswagen Beetle may be long gone, but one of its most obvious spiritual successors isn’t ready to disappear just yet. Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor (GWM) is preparing to relaunch the Ora Ballet Cat, its retro-styled electric hatchback that famously drew comparisons with the iconic Beetle. This time, however, the company is hoping extra performance and a fresh identity will succeed where clever marketing couldn’t. According to a report by Car News China, the latest regulatory filings published in China reveal that the Ora Ballet Cat is receiving a more powerful electric motor, a higher top speed, and could…
