It might be hard to remember these days since robot vacuums are a dime a dozen, but Roomba was a pioneer in the space. Now, all these years later, Roomba is changing the game once again. There is a “final frontier” in robot vacuums that no company has been able to crack: once a robot vacuum is full, it has to be emptied by a human. That’s no longer the case thanks to the hot new iRobot Roomba i7+ (7550) Robot Vacuum with Automatic Dirt Disposal.

As you can see in the graphic above, the i7+ returns to its base once its internal bin is full. Once it’s docked, the base has a brilliant feature that vacuums out all the dirt and dust on its own! It’s fantastic, but it’s also quite pricey which is why you should head over to Amazon and scoop one up while it’s discounted by $100.

iRobot Roomba i7+ (7550) Robot Vacuum with Automatic Dirt Disposal- Wi-Fi Connected, Smart Mapp…: $999.00

Here’s more from the product page:

• Empties on its own – you don’t have to think about vacuuming for months at a time. Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal with AllergenLock bag holds 60 days of dirt, dust and hair.
• Power-Lifting Suction delivers 10X the air power* for improved pick-up performance. Premium 3-Stage Cleaning System cleans the dirt and pet hair you see and the allergens and dust you don’t. *(Compared to Roomba 600 Series)
• Intelligently maps and remembers multiple floor plans to clean your entire home. Patented iAdapt 3.0 technology with vSLAM navigation actively captures thousands of precise measurements each millisecond to optimize coverage.
• Imprint Smart Mapping enables the robot to learn, map and adapt to your home, allowing you to choose which rooms are cleaned and when. Keep Out Zones offer added control to actively avoid specific areas and objects in your home.
• Ideal for homes with pets. High-Efficiency Filter and AllergenLock bags trap 99% of pollen, mold, and dust mites so they don’t escape back into the air.
• Unique Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes don’t get tangled with pet hair. Brushes adjust and flex to stay in constant contact with carpets and hard floors.
• Imprint Link Technology allows Roomba i7+ and Braava jet m6 robots to automatically clean in sequence – vacuuming and then mopping.
• “Roomba, clean my kitchen.” Customize and control how you clean with the iRobot HOME app, Alexa or the Google Assistant.
• Box Content: 1 Roomba i7+ Robot Vacuum, 1 Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal, 2 Dirt Disposal Bags, 1 North American Line Cord, 1 Dual Mode Virtual Wall Barrier, 1 Extra High-Efficiency Filter, 1 Extra Side Brush

Sony’s PlayStation 5 is one of the most talked-about consoles these days, even though we still have more than a year to go until the PS5 is ready to hit stores. Sony has already confirmed the official name of the product, as well as its main features. But Sony left out several crucial details about the next-gen PlayStation. We have no idea how the final PS5 will look like, how much it’ll cost, and when it’ll launch. But we did see the PS5 prototype design a few times already. Sony delivered these dev kits to companies creating games for the new console, games that are going to be available on launch day. It all started with a patent discovery that was then confirmed by developers — twice. Even Sony showed the dev kit while promoting the new DualShock controller that will ship with the console. This brings us to the latest PS5, which is an actual photo of the rumored dev kit.

We’ve known for several months that the Pixel 4 will feature support for 3D face recognition, as Google announced the feature well before this fall’s Made by Google event. At the time, Google also unveiled the Motion Sense radar, saying that the Soli chip will help improve the speed of Face unlock. What Google failed to mention at the time, or during the Pixel 4 event, is that its Face unlock feature isn’t, for the time being, on par with the iPhone’s Face ID. That’s because the Pixel 4 can be unlocked even if your eyes are closed, as some people discovered after the press conference. Face ID on all iOS devices that have TrueDepth cameras, from iPhone X to iPhone 11, work differently, packing a Require Attention security feature that should make it impossible for anyone to point the iPhone to your face while you’re sleeping to get access. Google has acknowledged the issue and says an Eyes open feature is coming soon.

Are there other Earth-like planets out there in the cosmos? We simply don’t know. Scientists have been peering into space for centuries and, thanks to advancing technology, we have spotted other worlds that might be capable of supporting life, but the evidence is sorely lacking.

To help answer the question, researchers from UCLA came up with a new framework for analyzing the makeup of exoplanets using data from the W. M. Keck Observatory and other high-powered telescopes. Based on their observations, the researchers are making a rather bold declaration: Earth isn’t terribly unique.

It wasn’t that long ago that the idea of having a single functioning machine on Mars was little more than a dream for scientists. Today, NASA has a whole bunch of hardware on and around the Red Planet, and sometimes they catch a glimpse of one another as they go about their business.

In a new post by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, we get to see both the InSight lander and the Curiosity rover doing their thing from afar thanks to NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and its HiRISE camera. The images are nothing short of spectacular.

When Netflix revealed that BoJack Horseman would return for a sixth and final season in October, I was equal parts overjoyed and devastated. BoJack is, in my humble opinion, the best show on the streaming service, and while I am confident that creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg and the team will wrap the series up in a satisfying way, I’ll miss Will Arnett and Aaron Paul in the respective second-best roles of their careers to date.

Other highlights this week include Jenny Slate’s first stand-up special, a post-apocalyptic teen comedy series called Daybreak, and the second season of The Kominsky Method, starring Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin.

Smart plugs can cost up to $30 a piece and considering all the great functionality they afford, that price is more than fair. Of course, just because it’s fair doesn’t mean you should pay that much for a single smart plug — especially when you can get a Teckin SS30 Wi-Fi Smart Power Strip for the same price. It’s basically four smart plugs in one, with four different power outlets that can each be individually controlled with an app, Alexa, Google Assistant, and more. You also get four additional USB power ports, making this a truly terrific value.

Stranger Things is such a massive hit for Netflix that it’s no surprise it was renewed for a new season while other original Netflix shows are being canceled after only two years. And considering the brilliant cliffhanger in the post-credits scenes of the season 3 finale, we all want to see how the Stranger Things story moves forward. Especially considering that Hopper supposedly died during the series climactic end, and some of our favorite characters left Hawkins.

The sheriff’s death has yet to be formalized, and most people suspect he’s still alive, David Harbour included, rotting in a Russian prison from the ’80s. It’ll be a long while until we find out whether Hopper survived, but the first Stranger Things 4 leak certainly gives us reasons to hope that he somehow escaped the blast.
