Plugable has announced a new multi-port USB-C hub that can power or charge up to 10 connected devices using intelligent power distribution and an easy-to-understand priority-based charging system.The company is bringing its new PS-10CC hub to consumers through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. The earliest backers can get one for $59, while the hub’s full MSRP will be closer to $99, with delivery expected as early as January 2025. There’s always a level of risk when backing a crowdfunded product, but Plugable has successfully delivered three devices through previous Kickstarters and says it already has functional prototypes of its new PS-10CC.

Anthropic’s latest AI update can use a computer on its own

Anthropic’s latest Claude 3.5 Sonnet AI model has a new feature in public beta that can control a computer by looking at a screen, moving a cursor, clicking buttons, and typing text. The new feature, called “computer use," is available today on the API, allowing developers to direct Claude to work on a computer like a human does, as shown on a Mac in the video below.Microsoft’s Copilot Vision feature and OpenAI’s desktop app for ChatGPT have shown what their AI tools can do based on seeing your computer’s screen, and Google has similar capabilities in its Gemini app on Android phones. But they haven’t gone to the next step of widely releasing tools ready to click around and perform tasks for you like this. Rabbit promised similar

Now you can unlock your door from Ecobee’s app

In its ongoing quest to become a complete smart home system, Ecobee has added a new smart lock integration. The smart thermostat company is partnering with Yale and August to let you control your smart lock using the Ecobee app. If you have an Ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera, you should now be able to let someone in more easily by tapping "unlock" right from the live view in the Ecobee app rather than jumping into your smart lock app. If you use Ecobee’s Smart Security system, you can also have the door lock when you arm the system. But it won’t unlock when you disarm the system and putting your PIN code into the door lock won’t turn off the system. The new integration will work with any Wi-Fi-enabled smart lock from Yale or August that

Google Messages is trying to tackle today’s most annoying messaging spam

Google Messages is trying to banish spammy job-seeking and package-delivery texts from your inbox, and it’s also adding a content warning to blur images that might contain nudity. The Sensitive Content Warning feature is optional, and if enabled, it will show users a “speed bump” with “help-finding resources and options” before they can view an image with nudity detected via on-device scanning. If users try to share an image with nudity, the app will warn them about the risks.With all of the scanning done on-device, Google says it doesn’t see the contents of your images or send them anywhere, and it doesn’t break the end-to-end encryption available with RCS. Apple’s Messages app added similar protection with Communication Safety

Humane slashes the price of its AI Pin after weak sales

Humane is dropping the price of the AI Pin by $200 in an attempt to reverse the AI gadget’s very poor sales. The product launched earlier this year at $699, but now, you can buy one starting at $499.This $499 version is the “eclipse” model that is a matte black anodized aluminum, and it doesn’t come with an extra battery or the charge case. The latter makes some sense given that the company warned AI Pin owners not to use the charge case because it found some battery cells from a vendor “may pose a fire safety risk.”You can still buy an extra battery separately for $69. And even though you can buy an AI Pin for a lower price, the gadget still requires a $24 per month wireless subscription. The AI Pin launched this year to very poor

Those have continued despite licensing deals reached with many media outlets, including The Verge’s parent company, Vox Media.

The Federal Aviation Administration published highly anticipated final regulations for electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles that it says will chart the path for the “air travel of the future.” The FAA says these “powered-lift” vehicles will be the first completely new category of aircraft since helicopters were introduced in 1940. These aircraft will be used for a variety of services, including air taxis, cargo delivery, and rescue and retrieval operations. The final rules published today contain guidelines for pilot training as well as operational requirements regarding minimum safe altitudes and visibility. “Powered lift aircraft are the first new category of aircraft in nearly 80 years,” FAA administrator Mike Whitaker
