Most humidifiers provide a numerical indicator on the control panel. The Dreo 6L Smart Humidifier does that as wellhowever, it also has a large 4x2" color coded humidity indicator that I can clearly see from across the room. The panel turns colors (shades of orange for dry, green for comfort, and blue for wet) based on the humidity level detected in the room. The whisper-quiet humidifier has a noise level of 28 decibels and a maximum run time of 60 hours. Its also easy to clean, since the six-liter top-fill water tank has a carry handle for easy transport, and the mist pipe is detachable. This humidifier lets me select a warm mist or a cold mist, so I can use it in any seasonand it has a dual aroma pad tray for those who like to use essential oils. The smart humidifier can be connected to Wi-Fi, then controlled via smartphone, and its available in two color choice: silver and white.Best Tower Humidifier: Levoit OasisMist 1000S Smart HumidifierLEVOIT OasisMist 1000S (10L) Smart HumidifierCoverage: 600 square feet | Run time: 100 hours | Size: 10"D x 8.4"W x 28.7"H | Weight: 6.4 lbsOne concern with humidifiers is where to place it. Sometimes a device can take up valuable counter space. However, the Levoit Oasis Mist 1000S is tall enough that placement is not a problem. At 28.7 inches high, the tall humidifier can be placed almost anywhere on the floor. The generous water tank means I dont have to fill it as often and it also has a wide opening, so its easy to refill. The mist levels are adjustable, and, along with other indicators and controls, are displayed on the LED touch screen. The humidifier also has several control options: You can use the controls on the humidifier or control it from across the room with the remote. Other options include downloading the app to navigate via your smartphone, or using hands-free voice control.Best for Kids: Vicks 3-in-1 SleepyTime HumidifierVicks 3-in-1 SleepyTime HumidifierCoverage: 250 square feet | Run time: 24 hours | Size: 8.15"D x 8.6"W x 8.23"H | Weight: 3.7 lbsThe Vicks 3-on-1 Sleepy Time Humidifier is a simple-to-use option thats compact enough for a kid's or babys bedroom. The coverage area is 250 square feet, which is the perfect-size humidifier for small rooms. Its called a 3-in-1 because its a cool mist humidifier, diffuser, and night lightso, you can use Vicks VaporPads (one is included and lasts for eight hours) or place your favorite essential oils in the essential oil diffuser tray, and both can be used to provide a calming scent as well. The night light has seven soft colors to choose from, which can create a calming environment for kids to sleep (the entire top half of the humidifier can change to the desired color). Note: The humidifier does not have a built-in hygrometer.More Humidifiers We've TestedLevoit OasisMist Smart HumidifierLEVOIT OasisMist Smart Cool and Warm Mist HumidifiersCoverage: 430 square feet | Run time: 45 hours | Size: 10.8"D x 6"W x 11.97"H | Weight: 5.3 lbsThe Levoit OasisMist Smart Humifidier is another stylish and well-performing device.

The water tank has a spacious opening that is easy to fill, and it also has a handle for easy transport. If you connect the humidifier to the VeSync app, this will allow you to remotely control the device (turning it on and off, changing the mist settings, and scheduling timers). For example, you can schedule it to turn off when you leave for work and then turn back on at 5:00 pm so it'll start misting the air before you return home. You can also add essential oils to the aroma pad to create an essential oil diffuser. The noise level is a low 26dB, and as a tester, I can verify that the noise level is nonexistent.Canopy Humidifier PlusCanopy Humidifier PlusCoverage: 1000 square feet | Run time: 36 hours | Size: 14.5"L x 12"H x 9.5"W | Weight: 6.6 lbs

In BriefPosted:2:13 PM PST January 10, 2025Image Credits:Brian van der Brug / Los Angeles Times / Getty ImagesA drone punched a hole into an LA firefighting planeDont fly your drone into an active wildfire. Although capturing video of the devastation can be tempting, it could stop firefighters from doing their job. Thats exactly what happened in Los Angeles on January 9 when a drone collided with a Super Scooper firefighting plane, The L.A. Times reports.This happened as L.A. fights its worst wildfire in history, burning thousands of homes and killing at least 10. The drone collision forced the plane to abort its mission and touch down elsewhere for repairs. Photos of the plane show a noticeable hole in one of its wings:Police are now trying to found out who was flying the drone, The L.A. Times reported, and the incident is under investigation by the FAA. The L.A. Fire Department warned that flying a drone during firefighting efforts is punishable by up to 12 months in jail or a $75,000 fine.Topics

After accounting startup Bench abruptly shut down on December 27 and was bought in a fire-sale by Employer.com, Bench customers are now learning they cant easily just take their financial data and leave.And some are very unhappy about it, three customers told TechCrunch.To recap: When Bench, a startup based in Canada that raised $113 million from investors like Bain Capital Ventures and Shopify, shuttered, it left thousands of businesses without access to their accounting and tax documents. Days later, Bench announced it would be acquired by Employer.com for an undisclosed price in a last-minute deal.San Francisco-based HR tech company Employer.com focuses on payroll and onboarding, in contrast to Bench, which specializes in accounting and tax.On the surface, Employer.com appears to be a relatively new company: Its CEO, Jesse Tinsley, announced his acquisition of the domain name in November for about $450,000. Tinsley is behind a host of HR, onboarding, and recruiting-related businesses, including Recruiter.com and BountyJobs.However, digging deeper, TechCrunch learned that Employer.com is a dba for Recruiting.com Ventures. Tinsley acquired Recruiter.com in 2023, when it was a Nasdaq-listed company, and took it private, according to Employer.com CMO Matt Charney. That entity has been around since 2015, he said.In its consent form, Bench described Employer.com as a highly successful and profitable organization with a proven track record of acquiring and running companies over the past decade. CMO Charney said the company is in fact profitable. However, Employer.coms lack of accounting and tax expertise is concerning to some Bench customers.One Bench customer told TechCrunch that when he tried to get his records for two out of the five years that he was a Bench customer, he was asked to hit a consent button.Within the text of that page they said if you consent, then you agree to no refunds, and I think that was a very slimy, low thing to do, he added. The company then later changed the page to remove mention of not being able to get a refund.Below is a screenshot of the original consent page before Employer.com updated it:ScreenshotImage Credits:Bench customerThe customer said he was able to contact his credit card company and get a refund for two years of service he had pre-paid for. But he was still unhappy with the treatment.Its disappointing because I used to speak so highly of them and had clients working with them too, he said.Another longtime customer said that Employer.com showed a message on Bench offering the users a choice to either continue service and accept updated terms or discontinue service and download data. He chose the latter.A few days later I got a message that said that in order to export your data, you still have to accept the terms, he said. In this case, I hit accept just to continue and deal with this general issue, but its relatively suspicious to force the users to do this in order to transfer out their data. Accepting these terms opted me into continuing to use the Bench services.In other words, it appears that Bench customers had to agree to transfer their data to Employer.com to be able to access that data.Below is a screenshot of what the customer, who had been a Bench client for 10 years, received.Image Credits:TechCrunch (supplied)The customer decided that he didnt feel comfortable with remaining a client because Employer.com does not appear..familiar with really operating this kind of business. Hes reviewing his options for an alternative provider.Another customer, Michelle Gayle, who serves as a business advisor to Core Insights Group, said she understood that her company which is owned by her husband would be able to download its data after consenting to certain terms.She told TechCrunch that the company updated its consent page, getting rid of the option to opt out of transferring to Employer.com.Below is a screenshot of the updated page.ScreenshotImage Credits:TechCrunch (supplied)They have concealed the fact that this new acknowledgement is the same as the previous consent and it is backed up by a privacy policy that is not adequate for the financial services that Bench.com provides, she said. Additionally, they are offering discounts on recruitment services which seem tone deaf and inappropriate given this situation.She went on to describe Employer.coms privacy policy as laughable.This policy has absolutely nothing to do with safeguarding financial data and when I tried to email legal@employer.com about this woefully inadequate policy, I received a bounce back message, she added.The above complaints are echoed on a reddit thread full of comments of disappointed former customers.For its part, Employer.com says customers can access their data by providing consent, which authorizes Employer.com to make their data available for download.After consenting, customers can manage their data, including downloading, deleting, or continuing services on the platform, Employer.coms Charney told TechCrunch. Once consent is given, they can choose to continue with the same contract and pricing as before or cancel their service.As for customers seeking refunds for advance payments they made that covered future services that the defunct Bench will no longer deliver, Charney said they will need to contact the bankruptcy trustee for Bench Accounting Inc. or attempt to request a refund through Stripe.Want more fintech news in your inbox?

In BriefPosted:1:50 PM PST January 10, 2025Image Credits:Eugene Gologursky/Getty Images for The New York TimesAmazon curbs some DEI programsAmazon is now the latest company to curb some of its DEI programs, Bloomberg reports, after Meta announced that it, too, is ending its diversity efforts earlier on Friday.An internal memo that was sent to staffers said that the company was looking to wind down outdated programs and materials as part of a review of its current initiatives.Rather than have individual groups build programs, we are focusing on programs with proven outcomes and we also aim to foster a more truly inclusive culture, Candi Castleberry, a senior human resources executive, wrote in the memo.Amazon joins companies like Meta and Microsoft that have started to reverse prior commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Information reported Friday that Amazon updated its corporate website to seemingly downplay DEI and also removed a post from 2021 that expressed a focus on DEI. The news comes as tech companies and their leaders prepare for an upcoming presidential administration that is likely to be hostile toward DEI, according to Bloomberg.Topics

The Eyebot kiosk had long lines every day. After trying it, I understood why.

OK, maybe you wouldn't pay three grand for a Project DIGITS PC. But what about a $1,000 Blackwell PC from Acer, Asus, or Lenovo?

It's no OLED model, but the LG StanbyMe 2 strikes the right balance of quirkiness, innovation, and performance -- making it my CES standout.

The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine offers an impressive combination of performance and versatilitywith ... [+] a premium price tag.DysonDyson has long been a leader in home cleaning technology, known for pushing the boundaries of what vacuums can do. The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine takes this a step further, introducing a cordless vacuum that combines traditional vacuuming with wet-cleaning capabilities. Designed for those with extensive hard flooring, it promises to simplify household chores by offering both suction and mopping in one device. But with innovation comes scrutiny. Is the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine a true game-changer, or does it fall short in delivering the flawless performance one would expect from its premium price tag? Lets dive into a detailed analysis.Form: The Design and BuildThe Dyson V15s Detect Submarine is sleek and ergonomic, reflecting Dysons signature design ethos. It is lightweight enough to maneuver easily around furniture and tight spaces, yet sturdy enough to feel durable. The dimensions make it compact enough for storage, and the wall-mounted dock adds to its convenience.The vacuum comes with a comprehensive set of tools, including the Submarine wet roller head for mopping, the Digital Motorbar for carpets and rugs, and the illuminated cleaner head that reveals hidden dust on hard floors. Additional tools, such as the crevice tool and stubborn dirt brush, further enhance its versatility. The attachments are easy to swap in and out, though managing the numerous pieces may feel overwhelming for some users.The LCD screen is a standout feature, providing real-time updates on battery life, power modes, and maintenance needs. It even displays a particle graph that tracks the debris collected.Function: Features and CapabilitiesThe vacuums suction power is excellent, effortlessly tackling dust, dirt, and debris across various floor types. Its piezo sensor adjusts suction levels automatically based on detected particle sizes, optimizing cleaning efficiency. The Digital Motorbar handles carpets well, while the illuminated cleaner head excels on hard floors by making microscopic dust visible.MORE FOR YOUThe Submarine wet roller head is the star of the show, delivering an even distribution of water to clean up spills and stains. Its highly effective on hard floors, picking up grime while simultaneously collecting dirty water. However, the water reservoirs 360ml capacity means frequent refilling during longer cleaning sessions, which can disrupt the flow.The vacuums smart features, including automatic suction adjustment and laser-guided dust detection, elevate it above standard vacuums. These innovations make cleaning more precise and satisfying, particularly for those who appreciate cutting-edge technology.The wet cleaner head makes it quick and simple to clean up spills, but small capacity limits the ... [+] area you can mop without frequent refills.DysonExperience: User InsightsUsing the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine feels like wielding a high-tech cleaning machine. Its lightweight design and maneuverability make it a joy to usemostlyand the seamless transition between vacuuming and mopping saves time and effort. The intuitive setup and easy maintenance instructions further enhance the user experience.Challenges and IssuesTrigger Lock: The absence of a trigger lock is a major usability flaw. Holding the trigger throughout the cleaning process can lead to hand fatigue, especially during extended sessions.Clogging Issues: The bins tight entry port can clog easily with pet fur and lint, making it less ideal for homes with shedding pets. While it handles general dust and dirt admirably, the vacuum struggles with larger debris.Bin Emptying: Emptying the bin can be frustrating. Pet fur tends to wrap around the shroud, requiring multiple attempts or complete removal of the bin to clear it fully.Water Reservoir Maintenance: While the wet cleaning feature is effective, the small water reservoir necessitates frequent refills, which can interrupt cleaning.Pet-FriendlinessFor households with pets, the vacuums performance is a mixed bag. It effectively removes pet hair from hard floors, but the clogging and bin emptying challenges detract from its overall usability. Pet owners may find these issues cumbersome, particularly when cleaning larger spaces.Verdict: Is It Worth It?Summary of StrengthsExceptional cleaning performance on hard floors.Innovative features like laser-guided dust detection and automatic suction adjustment.Dual vacuuming and mopping functionality saves time and effort.High-quality design and construction, consistent with Dysons reputation.Summary of WeaknessesPremium price point that may not justify its value for all users.Lack of a trigger lock diminishes comfort during extended use.Clogging and bin emptying issues, especially for homes with pets.Frequent water refills required for wet cleaning.Value PropositionThe Dyson V15s Detect Submarine is best suited for households with extensive hard flooring and a preference for cutting-edge technology. However, its drawbacks, particularly for pet-heavy homes, may lead some users to consider alternative options. At approximately $950, its an investment that requires careful consideration of its strengths and weaknesses.Reimagining Home Cleaning: The Dyson LegacyThe Dyson V15s Detect Submarine represents an exciting step forward for home cleaning technology. By integrating vacuuming and mopping into a single device, Dyson sets the stage for a new standard in household appliances. However, this innovation comes with some trade-offs. While its a trailblazer in many respects, the Submarine also underscores the need for refinement in areas like user comfort and maintenance.Looking ahead, one cant help but wonder: will the next iteration of Dysons hybrid vacuum address these shortcomings? And as more brands venture into vacuum-mop hybrids, how will Dyson maintain its competitive edge? The V15s Detect Submarine is both a glimpse into the future and a reminder that even the best innovations have room for improvement.

What to watch this weekend.Credit: Disney / ABC / NetflixWell, were already racing through 2025. One third of January is behind us, and a lot of great shows and movies are on the horizon. Some of those are out this weekend for your viewing pleasure, and as always Ive scoured the internet to find the best (and sometimes the worst) for you to watch or avoid.Be sure to check out my Worst TV Shows and Best TV Shows of 2024 lists also, because theres a lot of stuff you may have missed in 2024.If you have any tips or I missed something, shoot me a message on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. You can check out last weekends streaming guide right here.Whats New & Notable This Weekend (12/13/24)American Primeval (Netflix)MORE FOR YOUThe most exciting new release of the week is American Primeval on Netflix. This is not a show for the squeamish. Its a Western set on the American frontier in the year 1857 as Mormons, pioneers, bounty hunters and Native Americans clash in a bloody conflict and fight for survival. The limited 6-part series was written by the same screenwriter who penned The Revenant, and the show very much follows that films style and overall sense of brutality and bleakness. I really enjoyed it, though I found some aspects of the series a bit unsatisfying. Still, the attention to detail is superb and if you like violent, almost nihilistic Westerns, give this one a shot. You can read my review here.Goosebumps: The Vanishing - Season 2 (Disney+)I really enjoyed the Goosebumps movie starring Jack Black which came outchecks Googleway back in 2015! A decade ago! The new Vanishing series is out now on Disney+. Its funny, the next item on this list is a sitcom that tries to reinvigorate the lost art of broadcast sitcoms, and this show stars Friends alum, David Schwimmer aka Ross Gellar. Theres a line from the trailer that is very Ross: "What kind of plant should you always watch out for? An ambush." Schwimmer plays a divorced dad whose teenage children come to visit him in Brooklyn where they discover a spooky mystery about missing teens from 1994 and begin to suspect their fathers involvement. There arent a lot of reviews for this show out yet, but all eight 45-minute-ish episodes are available to stream now. It looks fun.Shifting Gears (ABC/Hulu)Tim Allens old sitcom Home Improvement was a huge hit and now the Toy Story actor is back with Shifting Gears, playing Matt Parker, a grouchy auto-shop owner whose estranged daughter, Riley (Kate Dennings) suddenly returns and upends his life. Its a classic sitcom replete with laugh tracksthough actual laughs are in short supply. Then again, Ive only watched the first episode and plenty of sitcoms had rough starts over the years. You can read my review here.The Pitt (Max)Fans of ER get their own dose of nostalgia this weekend. The Pitt is a new show from The West Wings John Wells and stars ER alum Noah Wyle. ER producer and writer R. Scott Gemmill is the creator of the new series. The show follows Wyles Dr. Michael Robinavitch and centers around the daily stresses of working in a busy Pittsburgh hospital with an emphasis on realism. It borrows the 24 format, chronicling 15 hours in an ER unit over 15 episodes. Thats a long season for modern television! Its currently at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising its blend of grounded drama and relatable characters. The first two episodes are available now on Max, with new episodes releasing each Wednesday.On Call (Prime Video)I cant tell if this is one Ill like or not. On Call is a police procedural that focuses on the patrol side of policing rather than detective work. It also inserts a bunch of bodycam-perspective footage, so you get kind of awkward moments in the trailer that look like its a first-person shooter (Bad Boys: Ride Or Die did this at times, bizarrely, but it was pretty minimal). It seems to be faring better with audiences than critics at this point. I do like the idea of focusing more on cops rather than detectives, something that the Irish procedural Blue Lights did to great effect (definitely give that one a shot). All eight 30 minute episodes of On Call are out now on Prime Video.The Traitors - Season 3 (Peacock)Im not really into reality TV shows, but Alan Cummings The Traitors does sound like a fun show if thats your bag. The twist is that its all a kind of murder mystery theater game where traitors have to work together to eliminate other contestants, while the faithfuls have to discover and banish the traitors. I guess its a bit like Among Us in that regard, but with a Medieval castle and lots of costumes.Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action (Netflix)I know I just said that reality TV isnt my thing, but I admit that back in the day a guilty pleasure of mine was occasionally tuning into The Jerry Springer Show for a glimpse at all humanity had to offer. It was ahead of its time. It was awful and gripping and the worst kind of exploitation television. This documentary dips its toes into the story of the reality TV show, but it sounds like it doesnt dip far enough. With just two episodes, each less than an hour long, it sounds more like scratching the surface than genuinely digging into what made the show and its notorious host tick. Thats a shame, because there are undoubtedly many galling stories to unearth from the series 25-year-run.Flow (VOD)A dialogue-free animated film about a cat that looks absolutely gorgeous. This won the best animated feature at last weeks Golden Globes and now you can watch it from the comfort of your home, though youll need to rent or buy it until it comes to a streaming service.Get Away (VOD)The new film from Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz creator Nick Frost is a comedy-thriller about a family on vacation on a remote island . . . with a serial killer. It looks equally creepy and funny, though its reviewing quite a lot worse than the aforementioned films.The Substance (MUBI)Another Golden Globe winner, The Substance is a critically acclaimed film starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid. The premise reminds me a bit of Death Becomes Her. A miracle youth drugthe titular Substanceunlocks more than anyone bargained for. This is on my watchlist still, but Ill probably sign up for the free week at MUBI so I can watch it soon. Ive heard so many great things and it looks absolutely insane.New Movies On NetflixDune 2FuriosaFuriosa wasnt quite up to Fury Roads brilliance, I still thought it was a phenomenal action movie and boisterously good time, not to mention a prequel done right. I was less impressed by Dune 2, which I thought was a gorgeous piece of cinema with a rather hollow core.Whats Streaming WeeklyLockerbie: A Search For Truth Colin Firth stars in this harrowing true story about the December 21, 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland. Ive heard good things but havent had a chance to start watching just yet. (Peacock)Dexter: Original Sin has been surprisingly fun and feels very nostalgic for anyone who loved the early seasons of Dexter. Im honestly still surprised at how good this show has been, and I look forward to each Friday when a new episode drops. I even started rewatching the first season of Dexter when I ran out of episodes! Heres my review. (Paramount)Star Wars: Skeleton Crew has gotten consistently better with every new episode and Im completely invested in the story of pirates, the Old Republic planet of At-Atan (a Treasure Planet, as it happens) and the cast of kids and their mysterious antagonist, played by Jude Law. The finale drops this Tuesday. (Disne+)Im still way behind on Silo (Apple TV) Landman, Outlander and have only just begun watching the second season of Squid Game. One thing thats prevented me from catching up on these shows is the fact that I now have screeners for the second season of SeveranceIts Always Sunny In PhiladelphiaFurther Reading From Yours Truly:Dont forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!What are you watching these days?
