Robot Folds Laundry, Musk's X Faces Sanctions

A new laundry-folding robot, the Isaac 0, is now available for purchase in the Bay Area for $7,999, according to The Verge. The robot, created by the startup Weave, is designed to automate the tedious task of folding laundry. However, it has limitations, as it cannot fold large items like blankets or sheets, nor can it handle inside-out clothing, and still requires assistance from human teleoperators.

The Verge reported that the Isaac 0 is a stationary robot and takes between 30 to 90 seconds to fold a piece of laundry. Potential buyers will also need to pay a $250 deposit.

In other tech news, Google's new Auto Browse agent, part of the Chrome browser, is being rolled out to AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, as reported by Ars Technica. The agent allows users to have Chrome browse the web on their behalf. Ars Technica noted that AI agents are still in their early stages, and tasking them with important functions is not recommended.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk's company X is under scrutiny for potentially violating US sanctions by selling premium accounts to Iranian government officials, according to a report from the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) shared with Wired. The TTP identified over two dozen X accounts allegedly run by Iranian government officials, state agencies, and state-run news outlets that display a blue checkmark, indicating a premium subscription. This comes despite Musk's public support for protesters against the Iranian regime and his provision of free access to Starlink satellites during an internet blackout.

Also, Wired provided a guide to help consumers choose the right TV. The guide offers tips and tricks to help shoppers navigate the complexities of TV technology, such as HDR, QLED, and local dimming. The guide also recommends other home theater upgrades, such as bookshelf speakers and soundbars.

Finally, The Verge reviewed the HP ZBook Ultra G1a, a business-class workstation laptop. The review highlighted the laptop's sleek design and performance capabilities.
