OpenAI’s chief executive and founder denies the allegations, which are similar to claims his sister has long made online.

Not everything at CES has to be some complicated technological marvel. Sometimes, there's a low tech device that figures out a new way to do something even better than what has come before it.

Take the Intake, for example.

Mashable came across Intake, which bills itself as the "only magnetic nasal dilator" at CES' Showstoppers event, where startups pitch their brand-new products. How did we find out about Intake? Well, because roughly half the attendees at the event were walking around wearing a little black strip across their nose. So, naturally, we had to check out what was going on.

Intake's purpose is simple: The company wants you to breathe better. Whether you're just dealing with nasal congestion or have any ailment that affects your breathing, Intake is aiming to have its nasal dilator externally address that.

The Intake goes about that in a unique way. The user simply applies two sticky magnets to their nose, one on the side of each nostril. Then, they place the Intake, a small curved black band, across their nose, with each side snapping on to the magnets.

And that's it. After putting it on, it immediately worked. You could actually tell the difference. All the Intake does is open your air passageways a little bit more, just enough where you truly don't even feel any pulling. But, that little bit extra makes a difference when you're breathing. 

It wasn't uncomfortable to wear. At times, I completely forgot I had it on. The band is reusable, with only the magnetic strips needing to be replaced with every usage. 

Intake's starter kit is priced at $49.99 and the magnet refills start at around $20.

Rights organizations are warning users of the threats posed by Meta's decision to lift prohibitions against common discriminatory and hateful rhetoric on its platforms — a move that may ingratiate the tech giant with the incoming presidential administration, some claim.

Backtracking on years of digital safety work, the new policy no longer restricts users from language that would formally have been flagged as dehumanizing and pejorative, including likening protected characteristics — which includes "race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, religious affiliation, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, and serious disease" — to inanimate objects or property, filth, and diseases.

In a huge blow to protections for LGBTQ users, Meta will no longer flag posts arguing for gender and sexual orientation-based discrimination. And the new policy uses startling outdated terminology to explain its reasoning: "We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like 'weird,'" wrote Meta.

In a statement to CNN, a Meta spokesperson said the company will still prohibit identity-based slurs and targeted attacks against certain groups, as well as enforce its bullying and harassment and violence policies. But rights groups are still ringing the alarm bells.

"Zuckerberg’s removal of fact-checking programs and industry-standard hate speech policies make Meta’s platforms unsafe places for users and advertisers alike," wrote GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in an official statement. "Without these necessary hate speech and other policies, Meta is giving the green light for people to target LGBTQ people, women, immigrants, and other marginalized groups with violence, vitriol, and dehumanizing narratives. With these changes, Meta is continuing to normalize anti-LGBTQ hatred for profit — at the expense of its users and true freedom of expression."

GLAAD's annual Social Media Safety Index showed that Meta was already failing to protect LGBTQ users from online hate across its platforms.

The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) called the policy shift a threat to human rights and free speech. "Meta's changes to its policies on gender and immigration content are dangerously vague, and have the potential to allow more transphobic and xenophobic content. As it implements those changes, the company should remember its obligations to human rights and the users that drive its platforms' success, and the ways in which transphobic and anti-immigrant content — though legal — will absolutely chill the speech of members of those important communities," wrote CDT Free Expression Project director Kate Ruane.

Center for Countering Digital Hate CEO Imran Ahmed said in a statement to CNN that the sweeping content moderation changes show the platform is recusing itself of responsibility for the safety of its users. "This will create a tidal wave of unchallenged lies — increasing the spread of hate, threatening the integrity of our communities, our democracy, and potentially harming public health and our kids," said Ahmed.

Interviews with 10 current and former Meta employees conducted by Platformer show those inside the company are also concerned about the policy shift. "I can't tell you how much harm comes from non-illegal but harmful content," claimed a former Trust and Safety employee speaking anonymously. "This is not the climate change debate, or pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is degrading, horrible content that leads to violence and that has the intent to harm other people."

"I really think this is a precursor for genocide," said the employee. Meta platform Facebook has been accused by international human rights bodies like Amnesty International of promoting hateful rhetoric and violence against minority populations, including against the Rohingya people in Myanmar, that resulted in mass violence and even genocide.

Meta announced it was overhauling its Hateful Conduct policy on the heels of another Musk-esque change to its platform: The termination of its fact checking program in favor of expanded Community Notes. A recent report from User Mag found that Meta's content moderation policies were blocking teen Instagram users from seeing posts with LGBTQ-related hashtags, seemingly for violating rules against "sexually explicit or suggestive" content. Instagram has responded that this was done in error.

You already have your daily news briefing podcasts, but Google is taking things a step further by providing personalized AI-generated audio recaps of news based on your Search data.

On Wednesday, Google announced Daily Listen, an experiment in its AI-testing ground Search Labs. Daily Listen lives at the top of the homepage in the Google app on Android and iOS. By clicking on the feature, you get a 5-minute or less audio recap of topics you're interested in, generated by AI.

SEE ALSO: Google Search AI Overviews at 6 months: Is the feature getting better? Daily Listen is like a custom mini podcast generated by AI. Credit: Google

If you're familiar with Google's Notebook LM tool that generates a customized podcast from an initial text prompt, Daily Listen is similar to this, except the "prompt" is data collected from Search and Discover, a news feed curated by topics you follow in the Google app. So it's a combination of your browsing history and search interests manually set by the user.

Clicking into Daily Listen starts the mini podcast episode and provides a real-time transcript of the audio. Below that, you'll find links to related stories and ways to explore topics more deeply.

Google has previously tested AI Search Overviews, which provide an AI-generated summary of your query at the top of the page, and Notebook LM, the custom podcast generator in Search Labs, before launching them to the public. Search Labs gives users a sneak peek at what Google will likely soon release to the masses. By opting into Daily Listen in Search Labs, you authorize Google to use your Search data and Discover preferences to generate the audio recap. 

But once AI Overviews were made public, it became a default feature in Google Search, and is cumbersome to opt out of. It's likely Daily Overviews would go the same way if it gets a public launch. So users tired of seeing AI-generated features everywhere won't like what's coming. However, if this sounds cool to you, Daily Listen is available to test out by signing up for Search Labs and accessing the Google mobile app.

But in the wonderful world of gaming, we're all eyes on Lenovo which just dropped two exciting announcements about the new Legion Go S handheld, which will start shipping out later this month. However, some models aren't slated to ship until May.

Here's everything we know so far.

The standout details

The Legion Go S is an updated version of last year's Legion Go, with a few modifications that make it more travel-friendly and easier to toss into a backpack, weighing a bit over 1.5 pounds. For starters, the Legion Go S doesn't have detachable controllers and the display is a bit smaller — using an 8-inch FHD display compared to the 8.8-inch GHD we got with the Legion Go. It also uses the new AMD Ryzen Z2 Go CPU.

In many aspects, the new Legion Go S is a bit like a lite version of the Legion Go.

But one of the most important notes here is that while we're getting a Windows-based Legion Go S, we're also getting a SteamOS model, which clocks this as the first ever third-party handheld besides Valve's own Steam Deck. But unlike the Windows version that drops later in the month, we're going to have to wait until May to get our hands on the SteamOS version.

Where can you buy the Lenovo Legion Go S?

We have tentative release dates for all models of the Lenovo Legion Go S, but currently, there's no way to preorder these puppies. We'll update this post as soon as Lenovo announces preorders. But we do know Lenovo plans to drop a Windows-based model in January and the SteamOS version in May.

Lenovo's ordering page for the Windows 11 Legion Go S is currently hanging out with a "coming soon" banner, but having the page itself is a step in the right direction.

Nitty gritty pricing details

More good news is that many models of the new Lenovo Legion Go S will be more affordable compared to the $749.99 price of the current Lenovo Legion Go.

The Windows-based version, launching this month, will come in at $729.99 with the 8-inch display and 1TB storage. Lenovo mentioned other Windows configurations will come in May, with an expected starting price of $599.99.

The more expensive version uses an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor which is the same CPU as the standard Legion Go. Less expensive models will have an AMD Ryzen Z2 Go processor.

When it comes to the SteamOS models, we're in for lower prices, starting at $499.99 in May with the same 8-inch display, 1TB storage, and an AMD Ryzen Z2 Go processor.

Lenovo's other exciting announcement

Also at CES, Lenovo also packed along a prototype of the new Legion Go 2, which they've slated as a "refined" version of the original. With an 8.8-inch display and detachable controllers, the handheld is fairly similar to the original model but comes with some pretty nice improvements like a more ergonomic soft plastic coating and a new fingerprint reader. It'll also come with a new OLED display and an 8-direction D-pad.

Lenovo didn't announce pricing on the new Legion Go 2, but said we should expect a release sometime in 2025.

If you're looking to do some post-holiday splurging, Amazon's daily deals page is the place to go. Just be careful: not every alleged "deal" is really a deal. We've sorted out some of the nonsense for you and picked a few standout deals from top brands like Apple and Eufy that we think are worth grabbing on Jan. 8.

Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. Don't see anything you like? Check out our picks from Jan. 6 and Jan. 7. Many of those deals are still live, including the first big discount on the brand-new Kindle Scribe and a huge 40% discount on the very good Samsung Galaxy Buds FE.

Our top pick: Apple Pencil USB-C Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple Pencil USB-C $69.00 at Amazon
$79.00 Save $10.00 Get Deal

If you're looking to spend the least amount of money possible on an Apple Pencil, the USB-C version is your best bet. On sale for just $69 (reg. $79), it's just a few bucks away from its best price ever. Unlike the first Apple Pencil, it's able to magnetically attach to your tablet. However, it won't charge wirelessly. You'll have to plug it in via USB-C to give it some juice (though it weirdly doesn't come with a charging cable). It's compatibility overlaps with much of the Apple Pencil 2 — you can use it with the iPad Air, Pro, mini, as well as the 10th generation iPad. It's not as fancy as the Apple Pencil 2 or Pro, but that's on purpose. As our reviewer noted, the Apple Pencil USB-C is made for "budget-conscious users who simply want to take notes, make annotations, journal, and draft up digital plans."

Check out our full review of the Apple Pencil USB-C.

It features over 10 infrared sensors to keep it aware of its surroundings, including anti-collision and anti-drop sensors. Plus, it offers 2000Pa of suction power, a three-point cleaning system, and a remote control that lets you set up schedules and pick cleaning patterns. It's not the best for high-pile carpets, but it can glide over just about any other floor type with ease. As of Jan. 8, it's on sale for just $141.99 with an on-page coupon. That's a savings of 43%.

Meta might start letting users browse listings from eBay on Facebook Marketplace soon.

The company said on Wednesday that it's launching a test in Germany, France, and the U.S. that, according to Bloomberg, will let users find eBay posts on Marketplace. When they decide to place a bid, it will open in another tab on eBay's website.

This comes two months after the European Commission fined Meta €798 million for breaching antitrust rules and creating "unfair trading conditions" with Facebook Marketplace. The European Commission argued that this gave Meta a "substantial distribution advantage," TechCrunch reported. Meta is appealing the Commission's decision, as Reuters reported on Wednesday, but is using updates like this to address the Commission's points.

Meanwhile, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Tuesday that his platforms — including Facebook and Instagram — will eliminate fact-checkers and replace them with Community Notes. Many experts responded, pointing out that this new decision will not only contribute to the spread of misinformation but is also specifically anti-LGBTQ. 

But, hey, at least you can get a mirror from eBay with a side of misinformation.
