A couple nights ago, we caught up with Garmin at the CES Digital Experience event and representatives were kind enough to show us the four new products the GPS company is showing off at the show. Most notably, the comapny is beginning to move away from its physical products, as they showed us the first iteration of their new iPhone app, available for a one-time payment of about $40 in the Apple App Store. In addition, a 5-inch version of the Nuvi 2400 series and Dezl (get it?), a new GPS unit specifically designed for giant semi trucks, is hitting stores soon.

Check out the video below to learn more. I apologize in advance for the poor focus in the footage.

Meta’s next smart glasses sound like a treat for humans stuck with prescription lenses

Codenamed Scriber and Blazer and already through FCC filings, Meta's prescription-focused AI glasses are shaping up to be the company's most inclusive wearable launch yet.

For the billions of people who rely on corrective glasses every day (including me), smart glasses have always been a slightly awkward conversation. Sure, you can already pick up Ray-Ban Meta frames with your prescription built in, but it looks like Meta has something better in store for us.

According to a Bloomberg report, Meta is working on two new AI glasses designed specifically for prescription wearers rather than treating them as an add-on afterthought. The models could arrive in rectangular and rounded frame styles. Unlike current offerings, they will be sold through conventional prescription eyewear retailers.

Research finds generative AI making frauds a cakewalk for bad actors

New research shows scams that once took hours now take minutes.

Generative AI isn’t just changing how we work, but it’s also transforming how scams are pulled off. As per Vyntra’s 2026 report, tasks that once took fraudsters over 16 hours can now be done in under 5 minutes using generative AI tools.

That’s a massive shift. What used to require skill, time, and effort can now be automated and scaled almost instantly, turning fraud into what experts are calling a $400 billion global industry.

Study says AI chatbots are increasingly ignoring humans, but it isn’t quite Skynet yet

Isn’t it frustrating when you ask an AI chatbot something, and halfway through, it just goes off track? You might be discussing a simple technical fix, and suddenly it throws in random suggestions — things that don’t even exist or don’t make any sense. It’s confusing, and honestly, pretty annoying.

What makes it worse is that it often feels like the chatbot isn’t even paying attention to what you said. You give it clear details, but it either ignores them or responds with something completely unrelated. That’s exactly what this study points out. AI isn’t as reliable or “obedient” as we thought, and if you’ve used one for long enough, you’ve probably noticed it yourself.
