Meta’s new Muse Spark can plan trips, read snack labels, and build mini games

Meta just released a new AI model called Muse Spark. The company says this one is different as it’s built to actually help people with everyday stuff, not just give fancy answers. Muse Spark comes from Meta Superintelligence Labs. The team spent nine months rebuilding their technology from scratch. This is the first model in a new series, and it’s designed to be small and fast. But despite that, Meta says that it can still handle tough questions in science, math, and health. The Meta AI app and website are getting an upgrade right now. You can choose between two speeds. One gives you quick answers. The other takes more time to think through harder problems. Here’s a real example. Say you’re planning a trip to with your family. The new AI can run multiple tasks at the same time. One part works on the schedule. Another compares different cities. A third looks for fun kids’ activities. You get a complete answer much faster than before. Most AIs only read text, but Muse Spark can ...

Dyson unveiled its first handheld fan called the HushJet Mini Cool

Dyson has stepped into the personal cooling market with its first-ever portable fan. The new device is called the HushJet Mini Cool. This little gadget uses Dyson’s own HushJet air projection technology. The company first introduced this system in an air purifier which users said are very quiet. Now they have packed it into a handheld fan. Even though it is tiny, the Dyson HushJet Mini Cool fan is no toy. It has a brushless motor that rotates at 65,000 RPM and it can blow air at speeds up to 25 meters per second. That is strong enough to keep you cool during a heatwave. The whole device weighs only 7.5 ounces. You can pick from five different speed settings. There is also a boost mode for extra cooling power. The fan charges using a USB-C cable and comes with a charging stand. It can stand up on its own, so it works well on a desk. The built-in battery gives you up to six hours of use on a full charge. The Dyson HushJet Mini Cool costs $100 (~Php6,000) in the United States. T...

Amazon to end Kindle Store access for older devices

Amazon has told some Kindle users that their older devices will lose access to the Kindle Store starting next month. In an email sent on April 7, 2026, the company said that any Kindle model older than the 2012 edition will no longer be supported after May 20, 2026 . The news caused a bit of panic on social media. Many users thought their devices would stop working entirely. But that is not the case. You can still turn on your Kindle and read books you have already downloaded. The device itself is not being deactivated. However, there are some real changes. After May 20, these devices will no longer get software updates. They will also lose access to web services. That means you cannot browse or buy new books from the Kindle Store directly on the device. For people who use Libby, the library app, this is a bigger problem. Since Libby needs WiFi to borrow books, you will no longer be able to send library loans to your older Kindle. You can still read books you already have, bu...
