Heat focused on ‘who’s with us’ in wake of Butler suspension


MIAMI — As Jimmy Butler served out the first game of his team-issued suspension Saturday against the Utah Jazz, the Miami Heat are looking to move forward, with team captain Bam Adebayo saying the group is “focused on who’s with us now.”

Butler was suspended seven games over what the Heat called conduct detrimental to the team; Miami has said it is listening to trade offers.

“It’s disappointing when you see the organization and a player going head-to-head like that,” Adebayo said Saturday after the team’s shootaround practice. “But the rest of us got to figure out how to win games.”

Butler has not commented publicly on the suspension. The National Basketball Players Association spoke out on Butler’s behalf hours after the Heat announced the suspension Friday, saying it believes the team’s actions are “excessive and inappropriate.” The suspension could cost Butler about $2.4 million of his $48.8 million salary this season.

“It’s none of our business,” Adebayo said. “It’s for Jimmy and for the management to handle.”

How it gets handled from here, and on what time frame, is anyone’s guess.

“We’re just going to focus on tonight,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said before Saturday’s 136-100 loss to the Jazz. “I want to quiet all the distractions. Enough has been said. We have clarity. We’re just going to focus on this group in the locker room. That’s what I want them to focus on and quiet the noise as much as possible. I’m not a clickbait type of coach, so you’re not going to get anything else really from me. We have a task to do.”

Trading Butler will be a challenge in this new NBA world, with the rules of the collective bargaining agreement limiting the ways teams can acquire players. It’s possible, but it’s far from certain. And the Heat simply letting Butler leave as a free agent this summer — Butler has a player option for next season — also remains a possibility, as it could open up some other avenues for Miami to acquire new players.

“It sucks to see that he won’t be around,” Heat guard Terry Rozier said.

Butler averaged 21.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 380 games with the Heat, including playoffs. Entering Saturday, since Butler joined the Heat, they’ve won 59.7% of their games when he played (227-153); they’ve won 49.2% of their games when he hasn’t (58-60).

He became eligible last summer for a two-year, $113 million extension. The deal was never offered by the Heat, in part because Butler has missed about one-quarter of the team’s games during his Miami tenure.

It was only natural that such a big sum of money not being offered was going to lead to problems. And the tension boiled over this week. Butler didn’t play in the fourth quarters of Miami games on Wednesday and Thursday; he spent some offensive possessions simply standing in the corner, almost as if he had no role.

“I feel like he came to work, he tried to perform, and it just didn’t go his way,” Adebayo said. “I feel like he didn’t want to be in the corner. But like I said, we develop a system where we play around everybody, and we just had to figure out how to incorporate him. But after what happened yesterday, we’re focused on who’s with us now.”

After the second of those games earlier in the week, Butler said “probably not” when asked if he thought he could find on-court joy again in Miami.

Saying those two words might have been his last official act as a member of the Heat. Earlier this season, Miami said it had no interest in trading Butler. Hearing him say he doesn’t want to be on the team anymore evidently changes things.

“It’s hard to not see him around,” Heat forward Nikola Jovic said.

Scottie Scheffler skips American Express, targets Pebble Beach return

World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler withdrew from next week’s American Express to give his injured right hand a few more weeks to heal, he announced on his Instagram account.

The two-time Masters champion said he hopes to return at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, to be played Jan. 30-Feb. 2 in Pebble Beach, California.

“After consulting with my medical team, I have made the decision to withdraw from next week’s American Express tournament to give my injury more time to heal,” Scheffler wrote on Instagram. “I am still hopeful to begin my 2025 season at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.”

Scheffler suffered a puncture wound to the palm of his right hand while cooking dinner on Christmas Day and had surgery to remove glass fragments, according to his manager, Blake Smith. Scheffler was expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks, Smith said.

The 28-year-old missed the PGA Tour’s 2025 season opener, the Sentry, which was won by Hideki Matsuyama in Kapalua, Hawaii. Scheffler wasn’t scheduled to play in this week’s Sony Open in Hawaii or the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California, Jan. 22-25.

Scheffler is the reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year and FedEx Cup champion after winning seven times in 2024. He was the first golfer since Tiger Woods in 2007 to capture seven victories on tour. His nine worldwide wins included a second green jacket at the Masters, a gold medal at the Paris Olympics and a second straight victory at the Hero World Challenge, an unofficial event in the Bahamas in December.

Wayne Osmond, original Osmond Brothers singer, dead at 73


Wayne Osmond, the second-eldest sibling in the Osmond Brothers group of singers, has died. He was 73.

The baritone-voiced singer and guitarist, who was the fourth oldest of the nine Osmond children and older brother to famed duo Donny and Marie Osmond, “passed away peacefully” Wednesday surrounded by his wife and five children, his daughter Amy Osmond Cook said Thursday in a statement posted on Facebook. The family also launched a celebration of life page on the platform to memorialize the late musician.

“His legacy of faith, music, love, and laughter have influenced the lives of many people around the world. He would want everyone to know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true, that families are forever, and that banana splits are the best dessert. We love him and will miss him dearly,” his daughter’s statement said.

Osmond’s younger brother, Donny Osmond, confirmed Thursday that he died from a stroke.

“I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to visit him in the hospital before he passed,” the “Donny & Marie” star and Las Vegas headliner wrote on Instagram.

“Wayne brought so much light, laughter, and love to everyone who knew him, especially me. He was the ultimate optimist and was loved by everyone,” Donny added. “I’m sure I speak on behalf of every one of us siblings when I state that we were fortunate to have Wayne as a brother. Even though we are separated in this mortal life, I know that by the grace and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we will have the opportunity to be with Wayne for eternity. I love you, Wayne.”

Wayne Osmond, born Melvin Wayne Osmond in Ogden on Aug. 28, 1951, wed Kathlyn White in 1974. The multi-instrumentalist had surgery for a brain tumor in 1997, suffered a stroke in 2012 that left him unable to play guitar and also was treated for cancer, according to the Hollywood Reporter. But he famously reunited with his siblings in 2019 to sing with his brothers for sister Marie’s 60th birthday.

Representatives for Marie Osmond did not immediately respond Thursday to The Times’ requests for comment.

Brother Merrill Osmond said on Facebook that Wayne Osmond recently had “a massive stroke” and that he was being treated at a Salt Lake City hospital. Wayne “endured much” and “gave it his all,” he said, and praised his brother’s “genius in his ability to write music” and “capture the hearts of millions of people and bring them closer to God.”

“My brother was a saint before he came into this world, and he will leave as an even greater saint than he came in,” Merrill Osmond wrote Thursday on Facebook. “I’ve never known a man that had more humility. A man with absolute no guile. An individual that was quick to forgive and had the ability to show unconditional love to everyone he ever met.

“His departure from this earth will be a sad moment for some, but for those who are waiting for him on the other side, there will be a massive celebration beyond anything we can imagine,” he added.

Wayne’s younger brother Jay Osmond also said Thursday that he was “deeply saddened” by the death and that “a true legend has left the Earth.”

“It is said that where there is great love there is great grief as we part during our earthly journey. Throughout my life I have always felt most connected to Wayne out of all of my siblings. He was my roommate and my confidant over the decades,” he wrote on Facebook.

Jay Osmond said that when he visited his brother last week, Wayne Osmond was sad that he could no longer fly a plane and that “flying brought him peace.”

“What gives me joy is to know that my brother ‘Wings’ has earned his wings and I can only imagine the heights he is soaring right now. The reunion he must’ve had with Father and Mother I’m sure was spectacular!” he said.

Family patriarch George Osmond, a soldier who launched his children’s entertainment careers in the late 1950s, died in 2007. He was predeceased by his wife, Olive Osmond, in 2004.

Both husband and wife passed on their affinity for music — George’s as a singer and Olive’s as a saxophone player — to their children and formed the Osmond Brothers troupe with sons Alan, Wayne, and Jay Osmond. (The couple’s two eldest sons, Virl and Tom, have degenerative hearing loss that affected their speech.) George taught the quartet how to sing four-part harmonies as children, and they performed for their Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints congregation in Ogden, Utah. They also performed at fairs and amusement parks in the late 1950s.

The family made its way to Los Angeles in 1962 to audition for “The Lawrence Welk Show” but didn’t land the gig. As a consolation, George Osmond took the family to Disneyland. The boys were dressed alike and the barbershop quartet performing on Main Street took notice. They were asked to do a number with the group; the performance ended up lasting for more than an hour. According to D23, the Osmonds then were brought to the Disneyland entertainment office, where they signed their first professional contract.

While they were performing at Disneyland, the father of singer Andy Williams spotted them and recommended the group to his son, ultimately leading the Osmond Brothers to book a five-year network TV run on “The Andy Williams Show.”.

The group added youngest brother Donny Osmond in 1963, changing its name to the Osmonds, and appeared on “The Jerry Lewis Show” before signing with a record label. They produced 34 gold and platinum records in the 1960s and ’70s, according to the Associated Press, including the 1971 chart-topper “One Bad Apple (Don’t Spoil the Whole Bunch).” Their other Billboard Hot 100 hits include “Down by the Lazy River,” “Yo-Yo,” “Love Me for a Reason” and “Crazy Horses.”

Donny and younger sister Marie also performed separately and as a duo to much success in music and television. Wayne made frequent appearances on the “Donny and Marie” variety show, which ran from 1975 to 1979 and which he also occasionally produced.

Lupe Fiasco & MIT Team Up for ‘A.I. Powered’ FM Radio Station

Lupe Fiasco & MIT Team Up for ‘A.I. Powered’ FM Radio Station


Lupe Fiasco is teaming up with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to produce an FM radio station. There’s a catch, though: The project will be fully powered by artificial intelligence.

The Chicago rapper-turned-professor made the announcement on Instagram last week with a lengthy caption, which read in part: “Imagine if there was a 24-hour fully AI powered radio station trained on all the intricacies of my rapping abilities and was carefully refined to produce the highest quality possible Lupe Fiasco songs. Now imagine it only played a generated song once and never again endlessly…now imagine that radio station was only available for certain periods of time and only in certain locations and you needed an actual FM radio to hear the songs. Imagine I put a team together at MIT and imagine we actually built it…

“ENDLESS LUP coming soon,” he concluded the caption.

Lupe has been working with the prestigious school since 2022 when MIT tapped him to teach a course on Rap Theory and Practice for their MLK Visiting Professors and Scholars Program for the 2022-23 school year. And that’s not the only higher-learning establishment he’s been involved with: Fiasco was named a Saybrook Associate Fellow at Yale in 2023 and recently announced that he will be joining the Johns Hopkins University’s Peabody Institute faculty as a visiting professor to teach a rap course for their new Bachelor of Music in Hip Hop program.

Fiasco also announced a new multimedia venture in the same IG post about his collab with MIT. “RhymenShop is my multi-modal/multimedia creative musical sandbox,” he wrote. “RhymenShop’s ‘DCS’ or ‘Data Compression Services’ program is small batch, physical musical releases or ‘Flavors’ available only to holders of RhymenShop DCS USB Card’s or ‘Bowls’.”

He mentioned that the rollout for RhymenShop technically began during his Samurai Tour this past fall and that more details are to come.

NHS warns ‘see GP’ for common condition if you get bloating often

NHS warns ‘see GP’ for common condition if you get bloating often


The NHS has issued a warning that persistent bloating, despite lifestyle changes such as dieting or exercising, could be a sign of a common condition that requires testing. However, if you notice an improvement, it’s crucial to maintain a careful diet.

As detailed on the NHS inform website, coeliac disease is a prevalent autoimmune disorder where the immune system in a person’s gut reacts when they consume gluten. This reaction causes chronic inflammation and can result in symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and a numbness and tingling sensation.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, and therefore appears in many everyday food and drink items. These include:

  • most types of bread
  • pasta
  • cakes
  • biscuits
  • crackers
  • many breakfast cereals
  • pastry
  • certain types of sauces
  • some types of ready meals
  • most beers and lagers
  • certain fruit squashes

Given these foods often form part of our daily diet and with coeliac disease affecting one in every 100 people, it’s worth noting the symptoms and whether they worsen after consuming any of the above items. This period of worsening symptoms is often referred to as a flare-up.

What are the symptoms of Coeliac disease?

Coeliac disease can trigger a range of symptoms in the digestive system and throughout the body. Symptoms can emerge at any stage of life, but coeliac disease is most frequently diagnosed between the ages of 40 and 60 years.

The symptoms of coeliac disease differ from individual to individual and can range from mild to severe. Some people may not experience any symptoms at all.

Some common symptoms of coeliac disease include:

  • severe diarrhoea, excessive wind and/or constipation
  • persistent or unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting
  • recurrent stomach pain, cramping or bloating
  • iron, vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency
  • anaemia
  • tiredness
  • sudden or unexpected weight loss (but not in all cases)
  • mouth ulcers
  • skin rash (dermatitis herpetiformis)
  • depression
  • repeated miscarriages
  • neurological (nerve) problems such as ataxia (loss of coordination, poor balance) and peripheral neuropathy (numbness and tingling in the hands and feet)

Sometimes the symptoms of coeliac disease are mistaken for:

  • irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
  • wheat intolerance
  • stress
  • just getting older

The NHS warns that if you tick any of theses signs and symptoms thn you should talk to your GP. But do not stop eating gluten as you will need to eat gluten when getting tested to ensure an accurate result.

You can take Coeliac UK’s online assessment here to see whether you could have the common condition.

Ben Willoughby Sunny Marquis’ Below Deck Boatmance Timeline

Ben Willoughby Sunny Marquis’ Below Deck Boatmance Timeline


Ben Willoughby and Sunny Marquis started dating during Season 11 of Below Deck. Their relationship developed from a boatmance into a serious romance once filming wrapped. But roughly one year later, this relationship walked the plank.

Thankfully, Sunny is returning to the exterior team for Season 12. But Ben is not, which makes sense, as he popped off on almost everyone once Season 11 took to the airwaves. However, Sunny and Ben were still dating while Sunny filmed for the next season sans her man. Therefore, we will likely hear his name at least once during the upcoming season of BD.

To help prepare us for this mess, let us look back at this boatmance shared by Sunny and Ben. From flirtations to frustrations (on repeat) to a fully-blown romance that perished on dry land, here is the timeline of Sunny and Ben.

Ben and Sunny struck up a rocky boatmance during Below Deck Season 11

When Sunny boarded the boat as a deckhand in Season 11, Ben looked her way several times. However, Ben also had lingering feelings for his Season 10 ex, Camille Lamb. Oh, and Paris Field, a stewardess in Season 11, also caught his eye.

Thankfully, when Ben reached out to Camille during Season 11 (while he was already involved with Sunny), Camille also said no to a possible rekindling, as this relationship had already sailed, in her correct opinion. In his confessional, Ben revealed that he did not share a spark with Sunny. This statement likely stung Sunny when this episode aired.

Likewise, Paris saw straight through Ben. She even appeared on Watch What Happens Live as their season aired, encouraging Sunny to end things with Ben. “He needs therapy,” Paris quipped, adding that Sunny needs to “get rid of Ben.”

Ben struggled with giving Sunny his one-on-one attention. Yet no matter what transpired on board, Sunny would always dry her eyes and return to Ben, ready to forgive her Bosun for his ill-spoken statements and handsy behaviors.

Following Below Deck Season 11, Ben and Sunny start dating

Once BD Season 11 wrapped, Ben took to his socials to announce that he and Sunny were still together. We would include his post here, but they have since split, so this lovesick nod no longer exists. Thankfully, we reported on these posts back when they occurred. Therefore, we can still easily share the relevant details with you now.

Ben wrote, “Yes, you guessed it, we are still together! Finally, we can let go of the secrecy” they had been hiding for the past 15 months. Ben further revealed that he and Sunny traversed “the globe together last year, and Sunny made her way to Australia for Christmas.”

Two months ago, Ben posted a TikTok reel that is shockingly still alive on his page (for now). His curated montage centered around his travels and time spent with Sunny. From late-night beach giggles to bike riding and skating, this duo seemed a decent enough fit.

But something must have still been amiss, as their break-up announcement sounded only a few weeks ago. Luckily for us nosey Nellies, we might learn more about what transpired shortly once Sunny returns to Bravo without Ben.

Below Deck Season 12 is bringing back Sunny, but not Ben. But remember, Sunny was still dating Ben when this season was filming, so a Season 12 FaceTime call might still occur, bringing Ben back into our lives whether we like it or not. But why is Ben no longer starring in this series? Let us recap thy ways now.

As a Bosun, Ben performed his job well. It was his interpersonal behaviors that sank his ship on Bravo. First, Ben seemed to love flirting and touching other females on board, which made Sunny cry. But somehow, her reactions to his piss-poor behaviors always got labeled as problematic “chick” antics by Ben, which, ew.

Sunny continually forgave Ben, but as the viewers, many of us struggled to do the same. Therefore, the vitriol that Ben received as Season 11 aired was high, especially once his combative scenes with Captain Kerry Titheradge transpired. To recap, Captain Kerry promoted Ben to a Bosun position, but he revealed in his confessional that Ben was not his first pick. This reveal sent Ben spirling, quipping, “Time will tell that man’s true character.”

Yet, time only showed Ben brushing off orders, speaking poorly about his captain and his other colleagues, and never once taking accountability for his behaviors. Therefore, we are unsurprised that Ben is no longer attached to this series.

Ben and Sunny broke up in December 2024

The Daily Dish managed to capture the fallout between Sunny and Ben online. Ben made this announcement via his Instagram Stories, which disappeared after 24 hours. “I need to kindly ask that people respect my space at this time and stop the negative comments and messages. It’s been a very difficult couple of weeks, and some things are private between two people,” Ben wrote.

Meanwhile, nothing says single and ready to mingle like thirst trap pictures posted around the holidays. So this is what Sunny did after she scrubbed her accounts of Ben.

“Chapter closed,” Sunny began, thanking her supporters for backing her this year, both on Below Deck and off. “See you in 2025,” a topless Sunny added, basking in her bikini bottoms on a cliff by the sea, looking like a hot, potentially reoccurring new Bosun for the Below Deck franchise (or so we hope).

Below Deck is streaming on Peacock.

TELL US – ARE YOU SAD TO HEAR THAT BEN AND SUNNY ARE NO MORE? WHY DO YOU THINK THIS BOATMANCE FIZZLED OUT?

Hoda Kotb’s First Celebrity Replacements on ‘Today With Jenna & Friends’ Revealed


Three powerhouse women are stepping into Hoda Kotb’s shoes after the longtime talk show host’s upcoming exit from the Today show. Hoda’s Today With Hoda & Jenna co-host, Jenna Bush Hager, announced the first three celebrity guests who will be joining her in the morning show’s fourth hour beginning on January 13.

Taraji P. Henson, Eva Longoria, and Keke Palmer are kicking off the rotation, Bush Hager confirmed on Monday, January 6. “It’s going to be our month of wonder women,” she told Today viewers of the newly-branded Today With Jenna & Friends. Kotb shared her approval, adding, “You know what that says? Heavy hitter. Home run. Wow. This is a big week.”

Henson will be by Bush Hager’s side for the January 13 show, followed by Longoria and Palmer later that week. Some of the rotating replacements will stay on as co-hosts for a week at a time, while others may only stick around for a day or two.

Kotb announced in September that she would be leaving Today, which she’s been hosting alongside Savannah Guthrie since 2018. She’s been with NBC News since 1998 and first came to Today as the fourth hour co-host in 2007. In November, NBC announced that Craig Melvin will be Guthrie’s new co-host, while Bush Hager will be joined by a rotation of celebrity guests until a permanent replacement is found.

However, there’s no rush to find someone following Kotb’s final show on Friday, January 10. “Chill out. I feel like our audience deserves the time to get to know a ton of different people, a ton of different backgrounds,” she told Variety in an interview published on Monday, January 6. “We’re hoping to pull up the chairs to all different types of people. I think there will be some surprises for sure. And so, it’s like, when we know, I think we’ll know.”

Talia Parkinson-Jones, the executive producer of Today With Jenna & Friends, added, “We’re in this new version of the show and it’s really Jenna’s dating. We get a chance to meet different people, and we’ll fall in love one day, but until then we’re just having a really good time.”

These States Have the Most Private Jet Flights: New Data


Even though the Big Apple is the richest city in the U.S., with nearly 350,000 millionaires and 60 billionaires, New York State doesn’t even crack the top 10 when it comes to the usage of private jets, according to data from aviation safety company Argus International.

The data, which was analyzed by the travel company Rustic Pathways, calculated the number of private jets in every state per 100,000 residents and found that Alaska was awash in private planes. The state has about 4,996 private jet flights per 100,000 people and recorded 36,650 private jet departures in 2023.

However, it is important to note that Alaska has many areas that are inaccessible by road, which makes airplane travel necessary throughout many parts of the state, according to Travel Alaska.

Wyoming took the No. 2 spot, with 24,263 private jet departures, followed by South Dakota with 26,944.

“America flies more private jets than any other country in the world, with a grand total of 3,123,007 departures in the U.S.,” said Shayne Fitz-Coy, CEO of Rustic Pathways. “From these findings, it is clear America has a private jet addiction.”

Washington D.C. recorded 4,517 private jet flights per 100,000 people in 2023, which would have placed it just below Alaska, but doesn’t qualify for the “state” list.

However, the nearby state of Maryland was last on the list (No. 50) with the least number of private jet departures—only 353 took off per 100,000 people, according to the data.

Though Florida placed No. 8 on the list, the Sunshine State saw the most departures (369,838) and flights per day (1,013).

Shockingly, New York (No. 48) and Connecticut (No. 49) were low on the list. New York flies 472 private jets per 100,000 residents, according to the data, while Connecticut only saw 414 departures per 100,000.

US cyber watchdog says no indication breach at Treasury hit other federal agencies By Reuters


By Raphael Satter

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. cyber watchdog agency CISA said on Monday there was “no indication” the recently reported breach at the U.S. Treasury Department had affected any other federal agency.

Late last month the U.S. Treasury reported that an unspecified number of computers had been compromised by Chinese hackers following a breach at contractor BeyondTrust, which provides cybersecurity services.

BeyondTrust said last month that a limited number of clients were affected but has not elaborated.

“As the forensic investigation is ongoing, BeyondTrust is unable to confirm the other customers who may or may not have been impacted,” the company said in an email on Monday.

The Washington Post has reported that the hackers breached the U.S. Treasury office that administers economic sanctions, aiming in particular to steal information about Chinese entities that the U.S. government might be considering designating for financial sanctions.

Republican lawmakers have demanded a briefing about the breach, which is the latest in a series of intrusions blamed on Beijing.

Liu Pengyu, spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, has previously described the Treasury hack reports as “irrational” and represented “smear attacks” against China.

More robots and AI than ever before

CES 2025, the annual tech trade show with the latest gadgets and gizmos, kicked off its media day on Monday in Las Vegas with driverless tractors, a magic skincare mirror, instant hormone tests and more robots than ever before.

The multi-day event, organized by the Consumer Technology Association, welcomed more than 4,500 exhibitors showing off the latest laptops, TVs, wearables and smart home devices — with most featuring artificial intelligence enhancements.

Yukai Engineering introduced Mirumi, a fuzzy robot friend that can latch onto objects. Verge/Instagram

One of the toys garnering the early spotlight was a fuzzy, pastel-colored robot named Mirumi that can latch onto objects and swivel its head to look around. Created by Yukai Engineering, the robot is meant to act like a baby – so if you approach too quickly it will duck away.

Enchanted Tools showed off its orange Mirokai robot, which it hopes can one day help with elderly care in nursing homes or work in hospitality and customer service roles at hotels, food courts and restaurants.

Tombot Inc. brought its hyper-realistic puppy robots to the show, which are made for elderly individuals or those with health issues who can no longer care for a pet but would enjoy the comfort of a companion.

On a more industrial scale, farming giant John Deere rolled out fully autonomous tractors, lawn mowers and dump trucks that seek to solve labor shortages.

“When we talk about autonomy, we mean full autonomy,” said Jahmy Hindman, chief technology officer at John Deere. “No one’s in the machine.”

Samsung showed off its latest smart TVs – which have gotten a whole lot brainier thanks to artificial intelligence.

Its new Frame Pro TV, along with its other 2025 televisions, will be enabled with AI features like Click to Search, which allows viewers to seek out more information on anything they are watching. For example, those who see a delicious dish on their screen can simply click the button and AI will produce a recipe for the meal.

John Deere announced its plans to double-down on autonomy with self-driving tractors, lawn mowers and dump trucks. AP

Samsung’s AI-powered TVs also can connect to other smart home devices – providing real-time safety alerts. They can even play a summary of your pet’s bad behavior when you return home.

The South Korean electronics giant also unveiled a magic mirror that can help fine-tune your skincare game.

The Micro LED Beauty Mirror scans your face using AI to analyze your wrinkles, pores, redness and melanin. 

A check mark graphic indicates you’re doing fine, while a red exclamation mark next to a category shows you need improvement – but the mirror immediately recommends a skincare product to take your routine to the next level. For now, the mirror only pushes products from Amorepacific, a leading Korean beauty brand.

Meanwhile, Dell showcased a new computer monitor with a camera that tracks your head movements so it can beam audio directly to your ears – a potential new favorite for gamers.

As it directs audio toward each of your ears, it will block sound at the opposite ear – the same method used in noise-canceling headphones.

There are also a number of smart devices aimed at improving your health.

Eli Health introduced its Hormometer, a one-step, at-home testing system that can measure your cortisol and progesterone levels. 

The test – which looks similar to a pregnancy or COVID test, with a small window that reads your results – requires a small saliva sample. 

After sticking the cartridge in your mouth for one minute, you can use your phone camera to read the test’s results based on color intensity and patterns. 

Eli’s app then provides personalized recommendations based on your results related to stress, sleep, athletic performance and fertility.
