Designed for home or office, the new Ember Mug² does more than simply keep your coffee hot. Our smart mug allows you to set an exact drinking temperature, so your coffee is never too hot, or too cold.

Ember then maintains your chosen temperature for up to 1.5 hours with the Ember Mug² 10 oz and up to 80 minutes with the Ember Mug² 14 oz - so your hot beverage stays perfect. Ember Mug² is safe to hand wash and submersible up to 1 meter in water.

Samsung’s new TV remote uses radio waves from your router to stay charged

CES is always a moment when companies reiterate their dedication to environmental causes and trumpet their latest, more efficient products and packaging. After introducing a solar-powered Eco Remote for its 2021 TVs, Samsung is back again with a new version that comes with a pretty fascinating trick.

Like the previous Eco Remote, this one can be charged with solar energy, but Samsung has also added RF harvesting capabilities that let the remote preserve its charge by “collecting routers’ radio waves and converting them to energy.” Neat. You don’t see this in many gadgets — mostly because it’s really only practical for low-power devices. But remotes certainly fall into that category.

Aside from the new RF harvesting option, the Eco Remote can be charged from both outdoor and indoor light or (for the fastest results) over USB-C. Samsung says it’s introducing a white model of the remote this year, which the company says is meant to better complement its “lifestyle” TVs like The Frame, Serif, and Sero. https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/2/22...sting-charging

Withings announces its new Body Scan connected health station during CES 2022

We have been receiving fantastic smart scales from Withings since back in 2009. But the company’s latest announcement at CES 2022 is without a doubt a huge step forward. The new Body Scan connected health station is more than just a regular smart scale, as it packs some amazing features if you can afford it.

Withings Body Scan smart scale was announced during CES 2022. It is designed to “provide daily analysis of biomarkers associated with common health conditions. With the ability to monitor segmental body composition, heart rate, and vascular age.” Not only that, but the new smart scale will also be able to monitor nerve activity and the user’s heart rhythm by using 6-lead ECG. https://pocketnow.com/withings-annou...uring-ces-2022

Cost is about 300.00 (USD)

Sink/Toilet Combination

Instead of using clean drinking water to fill up the toilet tank for flushing, use used water. That is the water you used to wash your hands with after using the toilet.

More important is, with this toilet sink combo you are helping to conserve water. And playing your part for a greener environment.

The hamburger vending machine has arrived

We found a pizza vending machine. There are plenty of cupcake vending machines out there. Now, it is the hamburger's time.

Why it matters: As more of our favorite foods are pressed into service as insert-a-coin-and-wait-for-it items, will the shopping mall food court ever be the same?

Goodbye, fast-food labor costs.

Driving the news: A company called RoboBurger sells a machine that will make you a burger with custom toppings — from "grass and vegetarian fed 100% Angus beef, always antibiotic-free, raised with no artificial growth hormones" — in 6 minutes for $6.99.

Not just a vending machine, the RoboBurger is "a whole kitchen shoved into 12 square feet," Dan Braido, co-founder of the company, tells NorthJersey.com, a news site.

The first one was just installed in the Newport Centre Mall in Jersey City. The company sees the next RoboBurgers going to bars, college campuses, airports, hospitals, rest stops, etc.

"The touch screen allows you to order a classic burger with ketchup, mustard and cheese, or customize the burger to remove any of those ingredients if you choose," NorthJersey.com says.

How it works: RoboBurger, which calls its contraption a "chef in a box," says its mechanical culinary artist "goes through five distinct operations while cooking the burger, mimicking the process chefs use in real restaurants."

First, the robot places the patty on a griddle and grills it on both sides.
It toasts the bun and adds the condiments.
Then it assembles the burger and delivers it to the diner in a cute cardboard box.

The company says its machine "is equipped with a complex, miniature kitchen consisting of a refrigeration system to keep ingredients fresh, a griddle to cook and a dishwasher system to allow the unit to self-clean, making it the first machine of its kind."

RoboBurger says it's "the only hot food vending machine certified by the National Sanitary Foundation to the highest U.S. food safety regulations."

Of note: RoboBurger isn't the only hamburger vending machine on the market. A company called Botast says that its Smart Burger Vending Machine is the first, and a Google search shows that there are other machines that seem to be in use in Japan and China. https://www.axios.com/the-hamburger-...e3634c3c1.html

Although a good idea, I think the straw will go limp after standing in a liquid for a length of time.
