The Aamoth household is comprised of five human beings and five Amazon Alexa-enabled devices.
While these Alexa devices are most commonly used to play music and set timers, they’ve also drastically cut down on the yelling between the various floors of our house.
That’s thanks to two powerful, kinda-sorta overlapping features common to Alexa speakers: Drop In and Announcements—both of which can be used as an ad-hoc home intercom system.

Unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, have been central to the war in Ukraine. Some analysts claim that drones have reshaped war, yielding not just tactical-level effects, but shaping operational and strategic outcomes as well.
It’s important to distinguish between these different levels of war. The tactical level of war refers to battlefield actions, such as patrols or raids. The operational level of war characterizes a military’s synchron
Immediately following Usher’s rousing halftime performance at Super Bowl LVIII, the millions of viewers who were tuned in were transported to Accra, Ghana, for two-and-a-half minutes.

His bedroom is adorned with posters of NFL players from Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick M
If you are battling a video game goblin who speaks with a Cockney accent, or asking a gruff Scottish blacksmith to forge a virtual sword, you might be hearing the voice of actor Andy Magee.
Except it’s not quite Magee’s voice. It’s a synthetic voice clone generated by artificial intelligence.
As video game worlds get more expansive, some game studios are experimenting with AI tools to give voice to a potentially unlimited number of characters and conve

The European Commission, the EU’s executive branch, said it has “opened formal proceedings to assess” whether TikTok has breached the Digital Services Act, which took effect last year.

TOKYO (Reuters) – Nintendo shares fell 6% on Monday after reports by games media and Bloomberg that its next-generation console will be delayed until early 2025 from later this year.
While Nintendo has not commented on plans for a successor device beyond saying that it is always working on new hardware and software, the Kyoto-based gaming firm is widely expected to be planning to launch a new device to succeed its aging Switch console.

Facebook was working hard to win over political campaigns in the run up to the 2016 election. The company sponsored debates, set up lounges for delegates at the Republican and Democratic national conventions, and aggressively courted political advertisers, even going so far as to embed staff with then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign. “Facebook really is the new town hall,” CEO Mark Zuckerberg boasted to investors just days before that election.
