The JIMU Robot App, which communicates with the robot via Bluetooth, has 3D modeled instructions that guide through each step of the building process. The app makes setup and uses extremely intuitive. One really neat feature about this kit is that a child can create a custom robot creation.

Regardless of whether you go with one of the two predesigned bots or a custom robot, the high-torque servo motors make the robot’s movements more natural....

When you’re looking to set up a home security system that integrates seamlessly into your smart home, there are a number of factors to consider. You’ll want to think about where your camera is being placed, whether it needs to act as an indoor or outdoor camera, or perhaps both. Also, if you’re intending to keep extensive recordings of your home or office, you’ll need to potentially consider paying a recurring fee for cloud storage....

Ableton co-founder Robert Henke says we should reconsider CDs as an alternative to vinyl, citing vinyl’s difficult relationship with today’s environmental concerns. But is vinyl really that bad? And when it comes to our reasons for buying records and playing them on a nice turntable, isn’t Henke kind of missing the point? “I still love physical products. But manufacturing big heavy plates of plastic and [having] them shipped around the globe is a huge waste of energy and resources,” says Henke in a Facebook post....

The interface is clean, and there are no ads, trackers, or Signal data mining, as grants and donations support the platform....

Files and folders that have this attribute logged on should usually be left alone. Changing, deleting, or moving them could cause instability or complete system failure.

The Nintendo History When Japan cut off its relations with the Western World in 1633 there was a ban on all foreign playing cards as they encouraged illegal gambling. Playing cards were extremely popular at the time (mainly because of the gambling) so it wasn’t long before the Japanese started creating their own home-grown card games. The first of these were designed for a game called Unsun Karuta, but eventually, the game was also used as a form of gambling, so the government banned them as well....

According to rumors, Apple is working on a follow-up to the latest in its line of failed speakers, dating back to the iPod Hi-Fi, which launched in 2006 and lasted around a year and a half. What’s different this time? If Apple has learned from the many mistakes it made with the original and at the same time doesn’t remove the features that made the original so loved by its (admittedly small) fanbase, then it could be onto a winner....

Although the core functionality is typically the same, laptop cooling pads come in a variety of designs and with different features.

It’s affordable and solidly effective, but the plastic design feels a bit flimsy....

According to a tweet by Twitter Support, removing the invitation feature will improve broadcast quality at the cost of engagement. However, viewers still can interact with the host through the chat or add hearts by tapping on the screen.
