Wyze’s new smart scale can break down your body composition for less than $80
2 hours ago
by Andrew Liszewski
Gadgets, Health, News, Science, TechSeven months after introducing its $119.98 Ultra BodyScan smart scale , Wyze announced a cheaper $79.98 alternative available today that makes a few compromises to shave $40 off the price. There's no Wi-Fi, but you can sync the BodyScan's measurements to Apple Health and Google Fit by connecting to the Wyze mobile app over Bluetooth. And instead of a customizable LCD screen, the new scale uses a simpler 4.7-inch LED display to show your health stats. But the new Wyze Scale BodyScan still features a retractable tethered handle with four additional electrodes so it can provide a more detailed breakdown

by Yael Grauer
AI, TechBob Starr was delighted with his vibe-coded website. "Boomberg" showed how much US tax money is going to tech companies, and Starr launched it online immediately after making it. It wasn't until months after the site went live that he realized there was a problem: a hidden SQL injection risk. It could've left the site open for an attacker to read or alter data they shouldn't have access to. "It was just a glaring oversight on my part.

by Terrence O’Brien
Business, Entertainment, Music, News, ReportThe history books are littered with the corpses of corporate record labels started by companies that had no business being in the music industry. Bose thinks it can be the exception to the rule. It thinks it can be Red Bull. And, while Bose has more of a right to dip its toes into the media world than Build-a-Bear , there's little reason to believe it can succeed where so many others have failed. In an interview with Business Insider , Bose CMO Jim Mollica said the company had created Bose Studios as part of a move away from traditional

Cold Court’s debut EP is an infectious, glitchy genre mashup
a day ago
by Terrence O’Brien
Column, Entertainment, Music, Music ReviewCold Court is a brother-sister duo from Philly that seems to love nothing more than shoving all of their influences together in a messy soup that at least superficially resembles the hyperpop you've come to expect from acts like 100 Gecs. But, where songs like "Dumbest Girl Alive" goofily wink at pop punk and emo, Cold Court are a bit more self-serious, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The opening track on the band's debut EP \ (^_^) / (aka Hands Up ), "Nina," starts off sounding not unlike the dance punk bands that stormed the scene in the

Polymarket reportedly paid people to post fake videos of themselves placing bets
a day ago
by Terrence O’Brien
News, TechAccording to a Wall Street Journal investigation, Polymarket has been paying people to film themselves placing fake bets and celebrating fake wins on social media. WSJ identified over 1,100 deceptive clips and talked to creators who, despite not stating as such in their videos, confirmed the company paid them to create the clips . The videos posted on social media look legit at first, but there are subtle clues that betray them as fraudulent. For instance, when examined closely, one clip shows someone visiting "poiymarket.com" rather than polymarket.com. According to the Journal 's investigation, none of the bets placed in
