Our health is the single most important investment we can make, but most people tend to take it for granted or are at a loss for what to do. Some pay no attention to the discomfort in their gut, simply attributing it to indigestion, while others belittle the stress and anxiety they feel each day, deciding to just “tough it up.” Others do take the effort to address these concerns but end up with solutions that are costly, uncomfortable, and worse, ineffective. Fortunately, that doesn’t have to be the case, thanks to these innovative wearable devices that target the centers of physical and mental health, providing people with easy-to-use, portable, safe, and comfortable tools to enjoy a pain-free gut, a stress-free mind, and a happy, healthy life in j just weeks.

It’s almost too easy to take the discomfort that we feel in our guts for granted, but that can actually affect not only our physical health but our mental state as well. If the brain is the control center of the body, the gut or gastrointestinal tract is the health hub and reflects the general state of the body. Gut problems are often a symptom of or lead to more serious health disorders, and these, in turn, also affect our mental well-being.
Revitalize Gut Health With Red Light Laser Therapy
HEAL+ is a non-invasive solution that makes sure that your gut is working properly in order to improve your overall health. The science behind HEAL+ is laser therapy, specifically low-level laser therapy or LLLT to reduce inflammation and pain that commonly occurs with gut-related disorders such as IBS, colitis, Crohn’s disease, and more. It also assists in recovery from long-COVID by boosting your immune system and improving your overall health. This non-invasive method regulates microbial balance in the gut which is necessary for proper digestion and enhanced immune functions. Going beyond your gut, HEAL+ also supercharges nitric oxide for improved blood circulation and enhances dopamine signaling in the brain to improve your mood, giving credence to the saying “A Happy Gut Means a Happy Mind.”
Best of all, HEAL+ is not some complicated machine or nauseating drug but a wearable device you simply wrap around your waist. Attach the removable laser modules to the front of the waistband and you’re good to go, enjoying the relief that HEAL+ brings to gut issues. It’s easy to use and comfortable to wear, allowing you to bring this health-promoting device anywhere with you.
Calm+ is a neck-worn device, easy to use and helps stack with daily habits. Ease the ‘fight or flight’ state triggered by daily stress within just 15 minutes. Calm+ stimulates the Vagus nerve that’s responsible for signaling the brain to release calming neurotransmitters like acetylcholine and serotonin, chemicals that are associated with calmness and relaxation. The device includes built-in sensors that will integrate optical heart measurements, allowing you to personalize the dosage to your own optimal outcomes.
Together, HEAL+ and CALM+ help improve your physical and mental well-being through a combination of red light therapy and vagus nerve stimulation. Thanks to its compact and portable design, it can keep your gut healthy and your mind happy whenever and wherever you are. The Kineon App is your ultimate guide to wellness.

When we talk about modern architecture these days, you instantly get a vision of tall glass skyscrapers! Modern architecture is characterized by skyscrapers and glass structures. However, a growing trend is slowly making its place in the world of architecture, and that is – Concrete architectural designs. Concrete structures have a unique appeal to them. Raw, rustic, and organic, these real and unfiltered architectural structures immediately catch your eye. If you love concrete buildings, then you will approve of the Shire!
Designer: Atelier Matias Mosquera
Designed by Atelier Matias Mosquera, the Shire is a one-of-a-kind and exceptional home that beautifully merges into its surrounding landscape. The home is self-sufficient in terms of power, water, and food. The home is inspired by the Shire by Tolkien’s iconic books, as its name suggests. It is tucked away in a rural space in Buenos Aires and is built mainly from concrete. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, which perfectly complements the greenery on top of the home. The greenery provides insulation from the heat and cold, while wooden slats offer shade from the sun as well.
The interior is made up of exposed concrete and wood, including the bathroom which contains a unique stone-like bathtub. The home occupies around 200 sq m and houses three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a library area, and a bathroom. It is surrounded by lush and detailed landscaping, which includes a swimming pool, as well as multiple pathways that let you walk on top of the structure.
“Instead of buying and throwing goods away, the idea is to produce, consume as needed, and then recycle,” said Atelier Matias Mosquera. “There would be no more garbage since the system would be self-sufficient. It generates its own electricity, heating, water, and, above all, food.”
The home runs off-grid as well since it is powered by solar panels, which are linked to a battery array, which makes sure the lights are on even when the sun isn’t shining too bright. It features a rainwater capture system which can be connected to the water tanks and a vegetable garden, to offer sustainable food production. The Shire was built to help the owner live near nature, providing a much-needed break from the hectic city life.

Our lives are full of screens in this digital age but sometimes you can’t access them or you need a bigger one for your tired eyes. Meta announced a new app called Meta Quest HDMI Link for its Quest 2, Quest 3 and Quest Pro headsets that can connect any of your devices with HDMI or DisplayPort and send their output to your VR.
The HDMI Link app is available to download to your headset now from Meta’s App Lab.
HDMI Link lets you watch videos, look at your computer and play games on the headset in your Quest headset from any device with a HDMI or DisplayPort output. You’ll need a UVC and UAC compatible capture card to use the feature and connect it to the device you wish to view and a cable ending in USB-C male to connect the card to your headset.
Wireless options like Quest Air Link or Xbox Cloud Gaming are still available on the Quest headsets and a little easier to use. However, HDMI Link can be useful if you’re in a space where you don’t have access to a solid Wi-Fi connection and can link up to devices that wouldn’t normally play nicely with a Meta Quest headset.

All these products spill the transparency of consumer electronics hardware into forms we never thought of, but love. CMF By Nothing is a more accessible brand that carries the same design philosophy and we’ve not seen many CMF-inspired designs until now.
Meet the CMF Clock concept that reimagines the reliable ticker on your wall in modern attire. The design leverages the harmonious integration of color palettes, material choices and surface finishes to mimic the CMF’s philosophy. According to the designer, this ensures the final product is a true reflection of the brand and timeless design sensibilities.
Designer: Kedar Bagaria
The aspiration for this project is to elevate the status quo of the good old wall clock, creating a balance between both form and function. Also, the vision of the concept is to pen down a design that functions as a timepiece and elevates the aesthetic appeal of any interior space – whether it’s your home or office. The depth of perception is portrayed via the shorter seconds hand while the hours and minute hands are signified by the semi-circular shaped disks running along the diameter of the clock dial.
The color palette chosen is a balanced Sierra of white, grey, black and the signature orange. The concept is imagined in three different color variants – one emphasizing the whites, the other the blacks, and the last one going for an overpowering orange look. While the design here looks gorgeous for a geeky den, we longed for an integrated functional approach that is aligned with modern needs. Things like connected features for showing important notifications, calendar updates, schedules, or preferred pings from social media apps.
The technology to superimpose a thin smart display on top and connected hardware modules like WiFi or Bluetooth will enhance the overall appeal of such a consumer product.

Dystopian shooters with strong echoes of Doom are a dime a dozen. But when the people behind the recent entries for that hellishly good franchise are the ones making a new game, it's worth taking a look. Today the trailer dropped for a new game called Defect from a new studio called Emptyvessel.
Think multiplayer Doom gameplay with a heavy layer of Dredd. The game is set in a city governed by a sinister AI and rocked by violence as different factions trying to secure power. The trailer is mostly setting the atmosphere and showcasing shiny graphics courtesy of Unreal Engine 5. But it does include a few snippets of pre-production gameplay that show some of the arsenal. The one that stands out is a weapon with a screen showing highlighted enemies, even ones behind walls. The gadget indicates that there will be a strategic side to the gameplay on top of the gory destruction. Defect also promises multiple objectives with different finales for each of the matches.
Emptyvessel boasts veterans from many of the heavy-hitting titles in AAA game development. There's a lot of alumni from Doom, as well as experienced creatives from Call of Duty, Uncharted, Tomb Raider and The Last of Us.
One notable team member is Mick Gordon, previously responsible for a ripping and tearing soundtrack in the rebooted Doom games, who is the composer for the project. But you'd know that from the sudden urge to start headbanging as you watch the trailer. And since he and leadership at id Software had a very public falling out after Doom Eternal, fans will be happy to have him attached to a new franchise.

They both appear to be slow motion action games like the brilliant Superhot VR that will let you live out your John Wick firefight fantasies without risking serious bodily injury or your health insurance premiums.
In Fast Travel Games’ Action Hero, you’re an action movie hero starring in a series of five fictional movies including an Indiana Jones-esque Nazi killing adventure, a high tech heist thriller and a Jurassic Park ripoff. Each movie has four different film sequences and you supply all the hot, gun flinging, boulder dodging, raptor punching (yes, you get to punch velociraptors in the face) action. The action moves slow so you can add some style to the scene like firing two high-caliber machine guns at once, pulling off some sweet hand to hand combat and not flinching during powerful explosions.
Vendetta Forever from Meta Space Interactive also puts you in the middle of slow moving action sequences against waves of anonymous enemies. It claims to have an “all-new lo-kill motion mechanic” so you can sidle up to the bad guys or dodge incoming fire like an Olympic gymnast. The style is a little closer to Superhot’s blank canvas scenes but with slightly more detail.
Vendetta Forever proclaims itself to be an homage to “cult action” movies that are highly stylized and full of heart pumping music and moves like a virtual remake of the PC action sandbox Maximum Action. A demo of the game is available now on Meta’s game store for the Quest 2 and Quest 3.
Action Hero will be available sometime later this year on the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest Pro. Vendetta Forever will be available in October on the PS VR2 as well as the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest Pro.

Changing a flat tire is a routine task for many, but when dealing with larger vehicles like trailers, it can become a significant challenge. The sheer size and weight of these vehicles make traditional tire-changing methods cumbersome and time-consuming. That’s why the Camco Curved Trailer-Aid was designed, a brilliant solution that promises to make tire changes on dual-axle trailers a breeze, all without the need for a jack.
Designer: Camco Outdoors
The Camco Curved Trailer-Aid stands out for its clever design, offering a practical and efficient way to change a flat tire on a dual-axle trailer. Unlike traditional methods that require jacking up the trailer, this innovative tool allows you to simply drive over it with the wheel adjacent to the one needing attention. Once in position, the yellow curved aid is choked in place using the included black chock, which features a rubber base pad for added friction and stability.
One of the standout features of the Trailer-Aid is its use of a honeycomb structure in its design. This not only minimizes the amount of material needed, thereby reducing weight and cost but also offers significant structural advantages. Honeycomb designs are known for their excellent compression and shear properties, providing high specific strengths while maintaining a low density. This means the Trailer-Aid is not only lightweight but also incredibly durable and capable of handling the heavy loads typical of trailers.
With a lift of 6.5 inches, the Trailer-Aid offers more than enough clearance to safely remove and replace a tire, even if the target axle has sagged. This added height ensures that the wheel can be removed without any hassle, making tire changes quicker and easier.
The Camco Curved Trailer-Aid is designed for trailers weighing up to 20,000 pounds and can accommodate tires up to 32 inches in diameter. Its heavy-duty construction supports up to 9,000 pounds, making it suitable for a wide range of dual-axle trailers. The product measures 10 inches tall, 19 inches wide, and 5 ¾ inches deep in its in-use overall dimensions, providing a stable and reliable platform for tire changes.
Adding to its practicality, the Trailer-Aid is made of durable plastic with UV inhibitors, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of outdoor use. It also features a convenient carry handle for easy transport, allowing users to quickly store and retrieve it as needed. For those concerned about cost, the Camco Curved Trailer-Aid is reasonably priced at $55, making it an affordable addition to any trailer owner’s toolkit.

As the US government weighs its options following a landmark “monopolist” ruling against Google last week, online publications increasingly face a bleak future. (And this time, it’s not just because of severely diminished ad revenue.) Bloomberg reports that their choice now boils down to allowing Google to use their published content to produce inline AI-generated search “answers” or losing visibility in the company’s search engine.
The crux of the problem lies in the Googlebot, the crawler that scours and indexes the live web to produce the results you see when you enter search terms. If publishers block Google from using their content for the AI-produced answers you now see littered at the top of many search results, they also lose the privilege of appearing in other Google search programs like snippets and Discover.
Google uses a separate crawler for its Gemini (formerly Bard) chatbot, but its AI Overviews are generated using data from its main crawler. A Google spokesperson told Engadget that blocking an entire article from AI Overviews would not prevent its crawler from seeing "the full text of what's provided to us for ranking purposes" or from "being indexed and appearing in our web search results."
The spokesperson also said the company's tools for publishers allow sites to only block certain sections of a page from features like snippets or AI Overviews. Web publishers nonetheless have no way to fully prevent AI Overviews without impacting overall search performance.
The catch-22 has led publications, rival search engines and AI startups to pin their hopes on the Justice Department. On Tuesday, The New York Times reported that the DOJ is considering asking a federal judge to break up parts of the company (spinning off sections like Chrome or Android). Other options it’s reportedly weighing include forcing Google to share search data with competitors or relinquishing its default search-engine deals, like the $18 billion one it inked with Apple.
iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens told Bloomberg, “I can block ClaudeBot [Anthropic’s crawler for its Claude chatbot] from indexing us without harming our business. But if I block Googlebot, we lose traffic and customers.”
Another problem with combining the two is that it gives Google an immeasurable advantage over smaller AI startups. The company gets a plethora of free training data from publishers eager to remain visible in search. In contrast, AI companies are forced to pay publishers for access to their data — and, even then, it wouldn’t add up to the motherlode Google gets (essentially) for free.
From that perspective, it isn’t surprising to read that, according to Bloomberg, Google is spurning publishers that try to negotiate content deals. (Reddit has been the lone exception.) Why waste money on content deals when they get all the training data they want in exchange for the search results most publishers need to survive?
“Now you have a bunch of tech companies that are paying for content, they’re paying for access to that because they need it to be able to compete in any kind of serious way,” Alex Rosenberg, CEO of AI startup Tako Inc., told Bloomberg. “Whereas for Google, they don’t really have to do that.”
It comes down to leverage, which Google wields over desperate publishers. On top of the industry’s existing financial troubles (online ad revenue has fallen off a cliff over the past eight years), AdWeek reported in March that Google’s AI-generated search answers could lead to a 20 to 60 percent drop in organic search traffic.
The ball is now in the Justice Department’s court to figure out where Google — and, to an extent, the entire web — goes from here. Bloomberg’s full story is worth a read.
Update, August 16, 4:55PM ET: This story was updated after publishing to include a number of clarifications from a Google spokesperson.
The original article said that preventing an article from being used in AI Overviews could block Google's webcrawler from including it in search results. The spokesperson asserted that this was incorrect; while blocking an entire article from its AI Overviews does prevent it from being included other search enhancements like snippets and Google Discover, it does not block it from standard web results.
The article's subheading has been ammended to reflect the changes, and a full statement from Google follows:

With AI Overviews, people find Search more helpful and they’re coming back to search more, creating new opportunities for content to be discovered. People are using AI Overviews to discover more of the web, and we’re continuing to improve the experience to make that even easier.”
