Samsung’s Freestyle+ adds AI power to portable screens
Samsung has officially announced The Freestyle+, the company's new AI-powered portable projector ahead of CES 2026 in Las Vegas (6-9 January). Whilst it looks familiar at first glance, the Freestyle+ represents something more significant than just an incremental hardware update. The device builds on the playful, flexible design of the original Freestyle, but adds a layer of intelligence that reflects where consumer displays are heading: adaptive, AI-driven, and increasingly untethered from fixed spaces. This is a clear example of how AI is reshaping consumer displays, making them more adaptive, more personal, and far less dependent on fixed spaces.

One lamp in the dark, Yellow light on frozen walls, Polar night goes on. ~~~ A/N Polar night is a phenomenon that occurs during winter when the Sun remains below the horizon for more than 24 hours. This is the opposite to the midnight sun, also called polar day, which occurs when the Sun remains above the horizon for over 24 hours. The farther up North you are, the longer the polar night is. There are places where the polar night starts at the end of November and lasts until mid January.

Cricket powder cinnamon banana bread. Top Story - December 2025.
I lived in Mexico for some years, many Moons ago, twice. It was there when I saw for the first time fried crispy crickets (known as chapulines in Mexico) tacos seasoned with lime, garlic, salt, and chile. Cricket tacos are a traditional delicacy which is especially popular in the Oaxaca region of Mexico. You can find them as a street food optionat outdoor markets in Mexico (look for chapulines) or at speciality restauants in the U.S. (just make sure the crickets are for human consumption).

On the frustration of using the obsolete Vocal word editor
To preserve my mental health sanity as much as possible I have decided that I won't let this frustration stay inside my chest, growing into something even worse and ultimately causing me stress. More stress which I don't need.
