Amazon Alexa Plus keeps creepily singing ‘lalala’ for minutes on end

The Amazon Echo Studio is one of the speakers that runs Alexa Plus. | Photo by John Higgins / The Verge An unsettling Alexa Plus bug has seen some Amazon Echo smart home speakers reduced to saying - and sometimes singing - nothing but "lalala" on repeat for minutes at a time, often in the middle of conversations with users. When quizzed about the behavior, Alexa is apparently entirely unaware of what it's been doing. The issue has been reported on Reddit repeatedly over the last few weeks, as recently as three days ago, across multiple types of Echo speaker. Multiple users have uploaded videos

This remote-controlled wagon is silly but so very useful

Confession: When BougeRV told me about its remote-controlled wagon with animated lighting, I called it in for a laugh, expecting to eviscerate it in a review. It's ridiculous, to be sure. But the DuneRover also proved very capable, with enough torque to flatten hills even when carrying over 200 pounds of gear. It can also traverse soft sand that defeats conventional wagons. As someone who regularly uses a variety of wagons to haul all sorts of gear, the DuneRover is an epiphany.

Gemini Call for Me might tell your mom you’re running late

Google may be expanding its "Call for Me" AI feature beyond business calls so you can use it to send messages to friends and family.

While Google's AI might not automate an entire catch-up phone call with your relatives, it could deliver quick messages to people

Reverse-engineered games: All the news on video game decomps, recomps, VR and web and 3D ports

It’s a wild time for retro gaming. Thanks to decompilations and recompilations of classic titles, those games are becoming unshackled from their proprietary code and original hardware to be ported to new devices or updated in ways to completely change the original game. Ever imagined skateboarding in Call of Duty? Or playing the original Halo right in your web browser, complete with multiplayer? These are unofficial versions of games, so they may sit in a legal gray area.

The Matic is the first robovac to get an FCC ban waiver, not that it needs it

The Matic is our favorite robot vacuum and robo-mop, and it's also now the first to escape the FCC's Roomba ban. Well, sort of - because the Matic wasn't banned to begin with. Here's what's actually happening: On October 2nd, the FCC added the original Matic, model 4MA0001, and its charging dock model 4DK0008 to its ban waiver list. That allows the FCC to approve these radio products for import, marketing, and sale. But the Matic doesn't need a waiver, because its radios were already approved years ago.
