They find a way to put Apple in every thumbnail. Most western YouTube channels about tech find a way to pigeon hole some kind of Apple product name into their thumbnail because America’s obsession with Apple.

Delusional. It’s sad having people who don’t understand what Apple is doing or how horrible the idea of AI is.

That Doom scroll alarm clock thing is interesting although I feel like a smart television serves a similar functionality anyways with the remote control. What we could use is more browser support on some of these smart TVs

I don’t recommend the liquid tv art if you have an oled tv. If the art isn’t animated you’re risking serious burn in.

Can we please get an entire video about the hypershell exoskeleton??? That looks super interesting.

Buying a “second phone” to fix the shortcomings of your first phone is such a first world problem. Throw your money at them because that’s exactly what they what. Other than the nostalgia appeal I don’t think the communicator has anything else going on for it.

I don’t want tech with a personality that talks back to me. I want tech that works the first time every time and is as cool as advertised by all these companies.

My Garmin watch is already tracking everything I want it to track. The resting heart rate is already giving me an indication of my blood pressure, which is very good. Everything else is meaningless for me.

Best comprehensive take of CES, nothing really worthwhile or innovatively impressive, though.
Bridget rocks. CES- you’re starting to look a little like E3…

When on CES why not show us CNET Users Brand New TVs ? Ans AI Assists trying to get ahead of Apple ?

The only thing that looks good is the exoskeleton – for hard labour workers or disabled people (& supermodels 😅). All the AI tech is intrusive & controlling. The braille reader for visually impaired looked promising also.

Most people are on there screens watching videos so go on cnet delete your channel so there’s 1 less reason to get on my phone

It shocks me that Samsung hasn’t come out with a card tracker. I sometimes misplace my wallet. I don’t know if other companies will do the Google Tracking. I wanna keep everything I can under one family of Samsung.

Apple isn’t winning any AI anything. It’s time for them to yield because this is what they did to themselves.

When AI turns on its users Apple might be happy to NOT have its own AI.
