  CES 2025 showcases a mix of absurd and groundbreaking technologies, with a focus on futuristic innovations that may not be essential for everyday life.
  Marumi, a robot designed to mimic a shy infant, exemplifies the quirky gadgets being presented, while the gbot aims to take over household tasks traditionally associated with women.
  The integration of AI and robotics is highlighted, with platforms like Nvidia Cosmos enabling the development of physical AI systems capable of real-world tasks.
  The Saros Z70 vacuum features an AI-powered arm, eliminating the need for a garbage can, showcasing advancements in home cleaning technology.
  Wearable robots developed by In Motion could potentially replace wheelchairs, offering new mobility solutions for individuals with disabilities.

  Lenovo's Legion Goos handheld gaming device introduces competition in the gaming hardware market with its support for Steam OS.
  Emerging tech like the Portal graph VR projector and AI-powered smart pen indicate a shift towards more interactive and intelligent personal devices, potentially changing how we create and interact with technology.
  
  Don't need any of them which is good because it saved me having to watch some shitty YouTube vid.
  
  99% AI bullshit not needed then.
  
  you need right now
- The list was in the description of the video, but there's no need to watch the video if you don't feel like consuming video right now.
  Iit's a pretty humorous look at some of the more "out there" products at CES and I feel the enjoyment is lost in text but I know what you mean - not everyone has time for every video that's posted.
  Also I didn't really realise the video title was clickbaity. I just see "Fireship" and I watch.
  
  which means you’ll never have to slow down for a speed bump ever again
  That one got me laughing

Consumerism has lost me... and who the fuck wants a "smart" baby monitor? Creepy.
Edit: iFixit gave that baby monitor the worst in privacy award
- Yeah there is some nightmare fuel out there about online baby monitors:

Apologies if the irony of the headline is not apparent. I suppose you need to know of the content creator to know it's very tongue in cheek.
You absolutely do not need any of these right now (or probably ever).

What if instead of funding all this AI bullshit, we had put this money towards universal healthcare in the US, or creating housing for displaced people in Africa?

to those who don't already know Fireship, go check this guy out !
he's hilarious, and absolutely dunking on the dumbest trends of the tech industry

The internet is truly dead. People can't recognize sarcasm anymore. Fireship should have added the /s at the end of his title.
