2:47this is the daily tech news for thursday september 3rd 2026 we tell you what you need to know give you the important context and help each other understand today ifa is underway in berlin so we will do our best to cover the most important announcements happening right now and oh my goodness so many announcements it's just a flood of announcements kind of kind of too much we hope to get done in time today. I'm one of your hosts, Jason Howell. I'm Jen Cutter. And we're going to start with what you need to know with a big story. Yes. So this is a consumer technology show that happens in Berlin every year, in Messe, Messe, Berlin, called IFA.

3:26It is officially kicked off. And as usual, there are tons of consumer tech announcements being made from the event. And so we thought we'd do today a little different because there were so many of them. We're going to talk about a big story which has to do with Anchor and kind of their products. And then after the break, you're going to get a whole bunch of other stuff from IFA. So it's a little different today. And we're going to hope to get through all of it and get you out of here at the time that we normally do. But let's start with Anchor. Definitely catching a lot of buzz. They've got a number of products as they usually do at IFA.

4:00I call it IFA. I don't know if everybody does, but I like to call it IFA. Anchor has the Eufy Mindbase as one product. This is a smart home hub that works on device. So you don't have a monthly fee, right? Like it's tied to the device itself. It is matter enabled, which is really nice. It has up to 20 camera channels, 34 sensors. It supports HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, Home Assistant. So it supports all the main players in security, in home security and home devices. And it has this neural processor, which runs what Anchor is calling its true smart agent. And that allows it to do things like recognize faces, posture, of which mine is horrible right now, I just noticed, behavior, objects.

4:49And again, going back to this idea that it's all done locally. It's not working in the cloud. It's all done on device. And yeah, there's just a whole bunch of other features. the ability to store photos, videos, clips from all those security cameras onto a network-attached storage via an agent that's built into it, organizing a family timeline of what's going on and building highlight reels based on all that information, push notifications. Yeah, it's just a really cool device if you want to monitor your home security through some of Anchor's other products. You don't have to rely on the cloud, but you do need to wait for the price and release details on this because they are not there yet.

5:34And I find this interesting, Jen, because so much is happening in the world of AI, like in a different perspective about like, yes, you've got the in the cloud frontier models, but then you've got your local. There's like a big push for local non-reliance on the cloud, which has cost savings, which has data protection and privacy savings. And this kind of reminds me of that. My two favorite words with AI are on device. On device, yes. No monthly fees, which also means like, OK, good. So they can't turn it off when they're bored. Right. Yeah. You're kind of in control, right? That's a that's a big part of that.

6:14So I think that's great to have more devices that are kind of leaning into that. That's good for consumers anyways. Other security products from Anker, the Eufy line, there's the smart security shield sensor. It has a radar for that. And this is to help the mind base that I just talked about with some of those security alerts. You've got that. It can detect strangers up to 30 meters away. There's a new video doorbell with 3K tracking technology. That's going to be$300 later this month. An eight-channel network video recording system with 2K security cameras that can do all sorts of fun things that you might want out of a security camera, like tracking, light auto-framing, smart video search, 24-7 recording.

7:05So you just want them to run and kind of go daisy chain or something like that. I'm sure it can do that. Um, and yeah, there's a$70 window camera coming this year. It's a little 2.5 K device with a, with a cup like shield, uh, design. So it can reduce some of the glare. So basically what that is, is you can attach it to the inside of a window, just pop it right on and it can do its, its magic. These devices are getting really flexible and in, you know, understanding, like we all have different homes with different needs. And, you know, that customizability of these systems is becoming a real priority.

7:46So yeah, I think that sounds neat. They also have this presence sensing wall sensor made to detect falls, which really like leapt out at me. A lot of seniors are staying in their homes longer. This to me is huge. One of my great aunts broke her hip recently because she's staying in her home. And as often as people go over, it's not the same as being there 24-7. So she has a cell phone now because it's like, listen, just carry this with you. And whenever you need anything, call us. But to have something like this to auto detect and hopefully ping one of us would, I think, avert some tragedies. And senior assistive tech, big future market.

8:26Well, yeah. And I mean, this is the thing that's not very, you know, it's not limited to just a few cases. It's not sexy at all. It's not either, But it's really important, like as, you know, as we get older, so do our parents and the people that we might care take. And so having this insight, you know, I think there's like fall detection on a lot of wearables now. Yes. I know the Apple Watch has this. Which we have not been able to convince her to. But we got a cell phone start. But something like this that she doesn't have to wear is crazy. There you go. Yeah, you don't have to convince in that point.

8:54It's just like, you know, it's there. And then going back to the earlier announcement that we talked about, the MindBase, if this is connecting into that, then this ongoing kind of like constantly monitoring thing doesn't sound so big brother. Ominous. You know what I mean? Ominous. That's the right word because it's all done locally anyways. So it's like just giving you the best of both worlds, I suppose. So that's actually really cool. What else from Anchor? I mean, they just, as they usually do, they just pour out announcements at events like this. Sleep Earbuds 4 and Sleep Earbuds 4 Pro has a touchscreen case, allows you to set alarms, check notifications, play, relaxing sounds, all from the case.

9:38It has a track assess adjustment system, which basically uses the headphones' built-in sensors to measure different factors. So PPG, heart rate, HRV, and then it can adjust the audio to find a better kind of sleep sound for you because this sound results in better sleep for you, we've noticed. So therefore, it gives that to you while you're wearing them. So smart earbuds getting even smarter, I guess, telling you this is what you need to be listening to because when you do it, you have really good sleep. I've noticed. this is one of the things i would love to test as i am famously not an earbuds person but i do need sleep tracking and to be able to do this without wearing my watch which is starting to irritate me uh at night uh i think i think would be good but i'm just i'm terrified like earbuds normally are like oh no earbuds because i tend to sleep on my side yes again like i'd love to try it so that's we're gonna know more in October and November uh no price yet so we'll see how uh how swingable this is as a test I'm the same way I can't wear I hate wearing a watch to bed it just feels wrong to me I alternate hands definitely so what's that is that I alternate hands uh like also because I'm left-handed so ordinarily my watch is on my right hand anyway uh and then uh so yeah I will alternate at night because I do need that data that data is important to me and my doctors.

11:08Yeah. Okay. So it's important. I mean, I would say the thing that would work best for me would be like a ring because that's enough out of the way that I wouldn't notice it. But definitely earbud. Like I'm a side sleeper too a lot of the time. And I know that would get uncomfortable for me. That wouldn't work for me. Sleep Lab, speaking of sleep, speakers that also play relaxing music. So Sleep Lab Pro speakers use radar to track the sleep, heart rate, breathing, play that music. Both have a circular lamp, and there is no pricing or availability on that. And then, yeah, and then, I mean, there's just a number of other things from Anchor.

11:50Soundcore, AeroClip2 Pro, these are clip-ons that transcribe what it hears. Like meetings, that's 2.30, no shipping date. Over-the-ear Soundcore, Space2 Pro, cut these names. and the Soundcore Liberty Buds 2, some more earbuds. I've actually tried a much earlier version of the Liberty Buds that I really liked. Anker RIC hearing aids. So you've got four beam-forming microphones and a neural chip to isolate the sound that you want to hear from the background noise. Love to see it. There's a robot vacuum Omni E35. There's a Eufy robot lawnmower S2 MA, and lots of new chargers, which Anker is very well known for.

12:29One of my all-time favorite chargers is an Anker charger. I mean, it's a huge sucker. But anytime I go traveling, I bring that with me because it powers my laptop. It powers my phone. So I'm always looking forward to what they do when they're charging. Is that the funky-looking fold-out one that you have? Is it a fold-out one? It's right here. It's so good that I have it within reach. The way everybody talks about it, the next time I need a charger, I'm probably going for them. Yep, you just pull the cable right out of it. i mean this is not new obviously this was like last year i think it was a year old oh yeah well i love their charging tech yeah no anchor's fantastic so that's anchor from ifa and we got more from not anchor but lots of other companies we'll talk about them in a moment dtns is made possible by you the listener thank you to bridget hargus joni high tech oaky and chris saragoza episode prep gets messy when research slack threads and script trackers are all in different places that's where chat gpt work comes in give it the goal and connect to the tools where work happens like apps and files and it can help pull the pieces into a draft you can review without you having to re-explain the project at every step for example chat gpt work can gather team feedback from slack and use it to suggest updates to a project brief in google docs You stay in control, reviewing the draft, and deciding what moves forward.

13:55Put ChatGPT to work on your most ambitious ideas and projects. Get started at chatgpt.com by selecting Work Mode. Available on Plus and Pro plans. Granola is an AI-powered notepad built for the way real people actually meet. Here's how it works. You take rough notes like you normally would, and in the background, Granola securely transcribes the meeting. Then, it turns everything into clean, structured, actually useful notes when the meeting ends. And the best part, Granola works through your device's audio, which means it integrates seamlessly into the video conferencing tools you already use.

14:28No setup, no awkward bots. It's just your normal meeting, with superpowers. You get to actually listen instead of frantically typing every word, and still walk away knowing exactly what was decided, who's doing what, and what comes next. My first time using it was in a meeting that had a lot of moving parts and was pretty technical. I couldn't believe how organized and complete Granola's notes were.

15:06This episode is brought to you by Capital One. Capital One's tech team isn't just talking about multi-agentic AI. They already deployed one. It's called Chat Concierge and it's simplifying car shopping. Using self-reflection and layered reasoning with live API checks, it doesn't just help buyers find a car they love.

Something feels off. You don't feel like yourself. Yet your doctor says everything looks fine. Spoiler, it's your hormones. Midi is a virtual care platform built for women by women and offers specialized hormone care from trained clinicians.

16:18Plus, it's covered by most major insurances. Getting started is easy. You can book your first visit with a clinician right away. It's not you. It's your hormones. Visit joinmidi.com to book your first visit. That's joinmidi.com. Insurance coverage varies. Check with your plan for coverage. All right. Like we said, this is a deep dive into IFA today. So we're just going to dive right in, starting with Belkin. Belkin introduced three low-cost SoundForm headphones, the Isolate, Dot, and Play. Isolate earbuds carry 45 decibels of hybrid ANC. The Dot earbuds come in a non-ANC version for$35 and ANC versions for$45, while both offer Bluetooth, multipoint, and custom EQ inside the connected app.

17:07Isolate Play are designed for children ages 5 and up, foldable over-ear headphones with a maximum loudness cap at 85 decibels, and a Rockstar mode for audio sharing. Those run$50 and will be available this month. I love that those headphones have the capped volume because, like, believe me, I've been there with my kids. And when it's in the software and they have control over it, they're always going to push past it. So having it actually capped inside of the hardware, I think, is a really good move to save their hearing, not to just be a jerk parent. I just want your hearing to survive, kids.

17:43What can I say? Belkin also announced Ultra Charge Pro Power Banks. They got power banks as well, using its semi-solid state boost solid cell technology. That is, according to Belkin, safer battery architecture that actually reduces the risk of swelling and fire. It's not solid state, as the name suggests. It's a gel-like layer that they add to the liquid electrolyte that also happens to result in a thinner, more like a credit card-sized pack. And they have a few different types of this, a 5 ,000 milliamp hour Q12 model. Sorry, Q, what is it? The magnet, the Qi2. There we go. That's what I transcribed incorrectly.

18:30The Qi 2 model, so it actually snaps to the back of your phone, that's around$70. And then there's a 10 ,000 milliamp hour model with a display that runs$90. So I like seeing changes in battery tech. Yeah, no, electrolyte layer just always sounds cool too. Yeah, it does. It does. DJI announced the Osmo 362, an upgrade to its 360 action camera with support of up to 8K resolution at 60 frames per second. As well, there's improved dynamic range and AI low-light noise reduction mode, faster charging, and replaceable lenses in case they get scratched. And this will run you€39 for a pair of the lenses.

19:12The camera itself starts at€589, but no U.S. release is planned for now. I think that's really cool, being able to swap out those lenses and get a pair for like€40. That seems low to me. I mean, like I would imagine it'd be like, yeah, we'll give you a replaceable lens for like 100 euro or something like that. That's crazy. That's super cool, though. I love that for durability and longevity of products. So I love to see that coming from DJI. DJI also had some RoboVac. We actually have a slew of RoboVac news. So if you're in the market, you've got a lot to choose from now. Starting with DJI, with the new Romo P2 and A2 RoboVacs, they add millimeter level obstacle sensing.

19:54there's a lidar guided 123 degree mopping arm and legs that can clear 8.5 centimeter thresholds so it's got a little bit of clearance there they can also capture home imagery and i think this is important again touching on what we were talking about earlier with anchor in a new local data mode that keeps the data on the device no access to the internet and prices start at 1300 euros and i mean that local data mode first premiered on DJI drones. Now it's coming here and very much a response to something that you've inevitably talked about on DTNS, as have I, FCC's robo-van in the U.S., which basically means that DJI products aren't for sale in the U.S.

20:38right now. I think this is a direct response to that. Roborock showed off the Saros Rover, a robo-vac that has a wheel-leg design, making it capable of scaling and cleaning stairs, as well as move over the top of certain small obstacles. Roborock also announced the F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2, which can steam clean at around 365 degrees Fahrenheit, as well as vacuum. They also showed off outdoor robo-cleaners like Rockneo Q2 LiDAR Lawnmower with steep slope climbing capabilities of up to 45 % incline, And there is the Rock Aqua P1 that can clean your pool for up to 3.5 solid hours. How big is your pool?

21:24There is no pricing currently announced. Don't you just love the name Rock Aqua? I mean, it sounds like rock opera. And so that's probably why I love it. But I'm like that. Whoever named that, give that person a raise. I think that's awesome. Rock Aqua. It kind of sounds like it could be a band or something like that. And then if you see the actual Saros rover, which is the one with the wheels and everything and can scale stairs, it kind of looks more robot than vacuum. It's like a robot that can also vacuum the floor, which I guess, I don't know. Is the point. I guess that's the point. Distinction without a difference is what it is, I suppose.

22:05Dyson announced the Hushjet Big Plus Quiet Cool Pure Plus Purifier. Oh, my goodness, these names. Dyson, come on. Oh, yeah, it's hard. Like, we want to talk about your stuff, but we don't want to spend 20 minutes doing it. This is intended for long-range multi-room purification. It has a directional nozzle, so it's meant for large spaces, essentially. It comes in three sizes, actually, starting at around$1 ,100. Dyson also introduced the R3 Nurovi Spot Plus Scrub UV Rovo Vacuum and Robomop. That uses UV, as the name implies, but also green illumination, AI vision to recognize nearly 200 types of spills and household objects for it to have in its database and navigate around and know how to clean effectively, I suppose.

22:54That RoboVac runs$1 ,200. And honestly, that's just a taste of what they announced because as with everything at IFA, there was just so much. So we had to pick and choose. But there you go. That's Dyson. We chose to talk about the JMGO$3 ,499 Iris Ultramax, the first consumer single chip DLP projector to deliver 4K at 120Hz with a super bright 6 ,500 ISO lumen triple laser engine. It includes a low latency mode that will be useful for gamers and has an AI powered gimbal, which is handy because the style of projector isn't designed to be fixed in one place, but rather installed as needed. Yeah, this one really caught my eye because I actually have a JMGO or is it Jimgo?

23:42I don't know, but one of these projectors, not this one, of course, but a 4K laser projector from JMGO that has a very similar design. And I absolutely love it. The way they've designed it, you can just set it up in a super speedy fashion, put it anywhere in the room and point it at the wall, and it will do the keystoning to fit the space that you have. Okay, okay. It's really bright. It's easier to just set it up on a whim, watch your movie, and then break it down and go. You don't have to have it permanently installed. It's just very mobile, even though it's high performance. So I'm very interested in that, although I'm not interested in paying$3 ,500.

24:20So there's that. TCL unveiled the new P80 series smartphones with its easy on the eyes next paper display technology. I absolutely love that technology. It simulates a monochromic e-ink experience. TCL says that mode gives the phone up to seven days of battery life, has a 6.83 inch 120 hertz OLED screen for the first time. Also a 50 megapixel 3x periscope camera for solid optical zoom starts at 349 euros with a launch in the US in the near future. Like I said, NextPaper devices, I've actually tested a bunch of them and reviewed a bunch of them in the last couple of years. I love them. They're great, and they're usually pretty affordable.

25:01And so on the affordable side of things, they do something that no other phone does in quite the same way. So I'm always very interested in them. Xiaomi teased the new Gold 18 Pro smartphone, its next book-style foldable that features, you guessed it, a wider aspect ratio. though specifics were not released yet. We do know that the cover display is 5.38 inches and the inner screen is 7.58 inches when unfolded. Inside is Xiaomi's own chip, the X-Ring 03, which they call a flagship AI SoC that combines GPU, CPU, and NPU into a single chip. Xiaomi plans a full launch in China on September 7th, a few days before Apple's big event next week.

25:49i wonder if they did that on purpose we'll never know everyone's doing the wide foldable thing i guess it's just the way it is now it's the new hotness and i have yet to see one in person i don't know or they're trying to make it happen we'll see if this all catches they're trying to make it happen yeah that's true that could be the case uh and finally one last if a story htc launched its vive eagle smart glasses which we have heard of before because they launched overseas about a year ago. Now coming to the US, Europe, and UK, and Australia, orders open starting today. The glasses have a 12-megapixel camera with 3K video capture, open-ear speakers, 4 gigs of RAM, 32 gigs of storage.

26:30They run on Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 chip. HTC does have two frame styles, rounded and squared, depending on what you like on your face, several colors with clear and sunglasses versions. The glasses, though, they offer two years of Vive AI +, which basically brings ChatGPT and Gemini into the smart glasses for you to use, of course, not just into them. HTC says that any data that's collected will not be used to train any models. Requests from the glasses are anonymized. And HTC also built in privacy protections around the LED light, because there's a lot of negative energy around those cameras right now, that signals that the glasses are recording, including an automatic shutoff when the LED is obscured.

27:16or the glasses are removed. So the glasses will not record any video or take any pictures when they're not on a face, basically. If a bystander, I think this is really important. If a bystander says something to the effect of stop filming or stop filming me or whatever, the glasses will stop recording. So this puts the person on the other side of the glasses. This gives them some agency in that scenario. The base model will sell for$500 while a photochromic lens version runs$600. So I think that feature is really important. Everyone needs to steal that feature. Yeah, I think that's important to have.

27:52Like, maybe then people won't feel as like, well, I don't know. People are still going to feel violated. People are still going to call it the pervert glasses because, you know, the attempt happened in the first place. But being able to stop it before you end up on TikTok is huge. That is. That is. And another thing that those glasses do that I have these Rokid AI glasses style. I actually did a video on these about a couple of weeks ago on my channel. But one thing that these glasses do that the Rokids do also is you get your battery life out of there. But I don't know if you can see actually here.

28:26Let's see here. Oh, the camera's in a different spot. There's little pogo pins on the arms right there. And so what that means is there's this little battery pack that you can snap on. And the glasses that HTC is doing have that as well. So it just gives you extra battery life if that's important to you. You can kind of extend the battery life. So I think that's kind of cool. But yeah, there you go. That's IFA in a nutshell. I'm sure we missed some things, but that was a lot.

All right, that was just one aspect of the technology landscape today, all in Berlin, of course, but we've got a lot of other things to cover, so let's get to the headlines. NVIDIA has made it official, official, official. It will acquire open source generative model platform Hugging Face. We discussed what the deal would mean last Thursday on the show, but the short version is. NVIDIA wants to encourage open-weight models so more companies will need its chips, and Hugging Face gets more cash to develop its platform.

31:20This is analogous to when Microsoft bought GitHub, just so you get how that's going. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wang said, quote, Hugging Face will remain an open platform and NVIDIA Compute will not be required to build on or deploy through Hugging Face. Very interesting. NVIDIA gets a pretty powerful and strong open source property in its portfolio. That's a big deal there. A leaked video shows that iOS 27 will apparently add a new iPhone handoff feature, which lets you use the same phone number on two iPhones at once by setting up a companion eSIM on the second device. T-Mobile is set to be the first U.S.

32:03carrier with support, according to what we know at this point anyways. Uber launched the UK's first robo-taxi service in London using 15 wave-powered Ford Mustang Mach-Es, each with a safety driver in the cab. You can't explicitly request one for the time being, but if it's available, it will show up as an option during a regular Uber booking. Tech CEOs including Elon Musk, Jensen Wang, Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, I'm sure there were more, but they joined U.S. administration officials at the G20 Summit in North Carolina, where member nations backed the U.S.-supported Carolina principles, what's called a light-touch AI framework that favors enforcing existing laws basically over creating new regulatory agencies.
