Another sales event is here, and so there's another chance for me to mull over the idea of buying a fancy coffee machine for my home. This time I'm considering the Breville Barista Express Impress on Amazon for $649.95 (was $799.95), as that's the lowest price it's been all year — outside of Prime Day. • Browse the full Labor Day sale at Amazon I'm just thinking about all the coffee I buy on the days I commute to the office or while I'm out of the house, and while the odd treat is nice, it does seem more sensible for me to make coffee at home to save money. Yes, this would be a considerable upfront investment, but it will surely make its money back in the long run. Even though it was $50 cheaper during Prime Day, this is still a tempting offer that I'd strongly consider before this year's Labor Day sales come to an end.

Contrary to what you might think, the best-selling cameras of the past couple of years haven't been made by Canon, or Nikon, or Sony, or Fujifilm. They haven't been professional mirrorless models costing thousands of dollars. They have, in fact, been a pair of ultra-cheap point-and-shoot compacts from the oldest name in photography – Kodak. Yes, the Kodak PixPro FZ55 and PixPro FZ45 have been selling like absolutely gangbusters throughout 2025 and 2026. Simple, streamlined and in my opinion quite cutely designed, these little point-and-shoots give you genuine optical zoom lenses – 4x in the case of the FZ45, and 5x for the FZ55 (pictured above) – and 16MP stills for ridiculously low prices. And this Labor Day weekend, one of those prices is more ridiculous than ever, as you can grab the Kodak PixPro FZ45 at Amazon for $89.99 — that's 31% off the original asking price of $129.99. Ther...

The Anthbot R7 Series includes an 'EdgeEase' string trimmer Its mounted on an arm and comes with its own camera for safety There's also infrared animal detection Effective edge trimming has long been the bane of a lawnbot-maker's life. After all, what good is a robot mower if you then have to go in with a side-trimmer to clean up all the lawn edges afterwards? Anthbot's newest robo-mower — the R7 Series, on show at IFA 2026 — has an innovative solution. The brand has tacked a string trimmer onto the side of the lawnbot. Or, more accurately, onto a "robot arm", mounted to the side of the lawnbot. This arm is designed to adjust to follow winding lawn boundaries, ensuring "zero-gap edge cutting without manual touch-ups". Anthbot dubs the system 'EdgeEase'. (Image credit: Future) I saw it being demoed — albeit on an AstroTurf lawn, without any actual ...

OpenAI rolled out GPT‑6 Astra, its most advanced AI, with “critical” cyber capabilities Astra can autonomously find and exploit unknown flaws; release limited to vetted Daybreak participants Staggered rollout sparked user frustration; Altman apologized, promising broader access soon OpenAI has begun rolling out GPT-6 Astra , its latest and most capable artificial intelligence model. In an announcement published on its website, OpenAI said Astra represents a “significant step up in cyber capabilities”, meeting the company’s “Critical” threshold.
