• NBA League Pass is up to 55 percent off right now

    January 13, 2026

    NBA League Pass, the streaming service that lets you catch hundreds of out-of-market NBA games, is for up to 55 percent off. The League Pass Premium subscription is on sale for $75, down from $160, while League Pass Standard is marked down to $50 from $110. We’re almost halfway through the season at this point, so it makes sense for a service like League Pass to start offering some discounts.

  • India reportedly tells quick-commerce firms to drop 10-minute delivery promise

    January 13, 2026

    India’s labor ministry is pushing the country’s booming quick-commerce sector to prioritize the wellness and safety of its gig workers. The country’s minister of labor and employment, Mansukh Mandaviya, met with executives from Zomato’s BlinkIt, Swiggy’s Instamart, and Zepto to ask them to drop their marketing language, which promises deliveries within 10 minutes, and discuss ways to improve safety and working conditions for delivery personnel, Bloomberg reported, citing anonymous sources. While the instant delivery model has faltered elsewhere, it’s taken off in India at an unprecedented rate in the past few years as consumers in urban cities got used to…

    January 13, 2026

    Anthropic has released Cowork, a new feature that runs agentic workflows on local files for non coding tasks currently available in research preview inside the Claude macOS desktop app. What Cowork Does At The File System Level Cowork currently runs as a dedicated mode in the Claude desktop app. When you start a Cowork session, you choose a folder on your system.

  • Understanding the Layers of AI Observability in the Age of LLMs

    January 13, 2026

    Artificial intelligence (AI) observability refers to the ability to understand, monitor, and evaluate AI systems by tracking their unique metrics—such as token usage, response quality, latency, and model drift. Unlike traditional software, large language models (LLMs) and other generative AI applications are probabilistic in nature. They do not follow fixed, transparent execution paths, which makes their decision-making difficult to trace and reason about. This “black box” behavior creates challenges for trust, especially in high-stakes or production-critical environments. AI systems are no longer experimental demos—they are production software. And like any production system, they need observability. Traditional software engineering has long…

  • Tesla launches a seven-seat version of the 2026 Model Y

    January 13, 2026

    Tesla’s 2026 Model Y is now available on the company’s site and it comes with a new (and old) option: a seven-seat version via a third row. The extra seating costs $2,500 and is only available if you order the Premium All-Wheel-Drive Long Range model. Tesla first teased the option last year via an email to prospective buyers with the promise of “seating for up to seven and enough room for everyone’s gear,” Electrek reported at the time. The new seats appear to be designed mainly for children as they don’t offer much legroom, according to images on Tesla’s configurator.…

  • 2026 Lexus ES review | CarExpert

    January 13, 2026

    It’s been almost five years since I last drove a Lexus ES, and while the mid-size luxury sedan was updated shortly after that, the range is soon to be replaced by a new-generation ES – making this something of a goodbye. Given the ES is essentially the Lexus-ised version of the Toyota Camry – though heavily upgraded – this model ended production in December, following the release of a new Camry in late 2025. But as night follows day, you can be sure that the new Lexus ES will bring with it a price increase. Which also means there may…

    January 13, 2026

    Most Apple products are pretty expensive, but some of the most affordable (and useful) ones are AirTags.
