My vibe is the only new angle this year is quantum./ Quantum Means Business –New partnership with Quantum World Congress to address how hardware, software, and AI are using quantum mechanics to improve technologies and create new applications.

Thanks Ted, Will dig in further hopefully something closer $9. Other risk being Market staying in good posture this week. non farm payrolls, PMIs and FED
Last year, the message was clear: AI is in everything. This year, the message will be Digital Coexistence,Brian Comiskey, futurist and top trend watcher with the CTA, told me. Meaning how do AI and technology live and learn side by side with us, amplifying and enhancing our lives? ZZZzzzzzzzzz. What a load of crap. Next year will be all about apologizing for Ai...
Van & I dreamed this up 2 years ago. There will be at least half a dozen autonomous lawnmowers at CES,
Man the Aliens must be laughing at us. Pathetic. Heading indoors, the vacuum cleaner market has exploded with innovation (hopefully not all over your rug). This year, we’ll see the X50 Ultra robot vacuum from Dreame, the first robovac that can literally climb stairs — albeit small ones, not the carpeted monsters that lead to the second floor of your house
Another useless product: When I scream at my wife I know my cortisol is up. When I lose a big bet same thing. And I think when I win. But other wearables are far more interesting. A Swiss startup called Nutrix has already won a CES Innovation Award for CortiSense: Spit on the dongle, plug it into a USB port, and the device measures your cortisol levels to monitor for stress and burnout.
Spookily this will happen. I think in Japan already these old person robot helpers with the fun faces are being rolled out. Meanwhile, robots (another perennial CES favorite!) may finally have their moment in the sun. CES always sees a slew of robotics, both silly and practical, and too often far-fetched. With the power of AI behind them, bots may shine this year. In particular, companion bots to care for our elders and support us as we recover from illness or injury.
from tom's guide- TVs HDMI 2.2 may be announced at CES 2025 — everything we know so far News ByJason England last updatedDecember 16, 2024 2025’s going to be a big year for HDMI We already knowCES 2025is going to be a big one for TVs, but with the rumored launch of HDMI 2.2, things are getting much more interesting. The HDMI Forum confirmed in an email that “next-generation HDMI” will be announced on January 6 at CES 2025 — all signs point to this being HDMI 2.2, and with it comes vastly higher bandwidth, higher resolution and a faster refresh rate. Details are rather thin on the ground, so let’s go into what we know and the implications. HDM-eye-wateringly sharp So first, let’s look back. Currently we’re on HDMI 2.1b, which launched back in 2023 — sporting resolution support of up to 10K and an up-to 48bps bandwidth. This also allows for Variable Refresh Rate up to 144Hz (though you’d see most HDMI 2.1 sockets support 4K 120Hz maximum — purely because of the on-board horsepower that would be needed to pump out a 10K picture at those kinds of speeds would be bonkers). This is a drastic increase in bandwidth from the 6Gbps you saw in HDMI 2.0, but it still falls behind the 80 Gbps you see in DisplayPort 2.1. Now I get that squaring these two off against each other is kind of like comparing apples and oranges — one is a standard used mostly on TVs whereas the other is almost exclusively a computing port. But with HDMI LA promising “higher quality options” for TV and film studios, as well as game developers, I’m predicting this bandwidth number of HDMI 2.2 to get a lot closer to DP, which could futureproof the standard for a long time to come. It’s the gaming I want to focus on here for my hype around this. Leaks and rumors are reporting this being a big CES for gaming hardware, as the announcement ofNvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUsseems certain, and AMD looks to jump in with its own RDNA 3 GPUs (as well as the next-generationRyzen Z2 for PC handhelds). Nothing has been said about HDMI 2.2 coming to gaming PCs or gaming laptops, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw it, and if we saw truly native support for 8K gameplay because of it. Yes, I know that 8K istechnicallysupported by this cable standard, but hopefully, an extra bump in bandwidth alongside improvements in efficiencies and fixed rate lanes (FRL) implementations can help move the whole industry along. For example, FRL 6 gives you the full 48, whereas you're only getting 40 with FRL 5 and 32 with FRL 4. All a bit geeky I know, but the problem I'm pointing out here is not all HDMI 2.1 ports are the same, and hopefully this is resolved with a singular standard that's clearly labeled with 2.2. Display companies would need to play catch up, and trust me when I say it’s going to cost a lot to buy one at first (plus the additional investment of a new HDMI cable), but this would be a dream come true for pixel peepers. Plus, it’s worth paying very close attention to those specs, as chances are you’ll see them on the next generation of consoles, too. No, I’m not talking aboutNintendo Switch 2, but rather thePS6(or whatever Sony decides to name it) and the next-gen Xbox.
When you consider what would prompt you to upgrade your TV the list of new options lacks. There really is no reason to. But if that HDMI plug in were to come super juiced.. then for gamers it's huge and if the picture is crisper or they can sell streaming will clear up.. none of this I know to be true but if they could do that, whoever " they " is, it would be huge. That HDMI2 imput could launch a HUGE upgrade cycle.. we need to watch this development...
