This Cooling Neck Fan Is Like Having My Own Personal Air Conditioner Everywhere I Go

This Cooling Neck Fan Is Like Having My Own Personal Air Conditioner Everywhere I Go

CNET4 days ago
At CES 2024, I went hands-on with the then-yet-to-launch Torras Coolify Cyber, and I could only imagine how useful it could be in the Delhi summers. Fast-forward to more than a year later, and I've used the wearable air conditioner more times than I can count. It has become one of my favorite gadgets to beat the heat.
This wearable neck fan normally goes for $300, but right now it's available for $222 on Amazon -- a 26% discount.
The Torras Coolify Cyber is a portable air conditioner worn on the neck. When I first used it, I was impressed by the comfort and air pressure but had doubts about how it would do in the long run and if it would overheat from prolonged use. I'm happy to report that I've been positively surprised and would carry it when traveling to hot, humid places.
It features an ergonomic design with a ceramic cooling plate on the part that touches your neck. It's immensely useful alongside the fan vents on hot days. The device didn't feel uncomfortable to wear. I could have it on for at least an hour at a stretch. You can also press and hold a button on the collar to switch to warm air for cold-weather conditions. You can choose from three fan settings for airflow and three temperature modes -- heat, fan and cool -- for the kind of air you need. It's an all-year gadget.
Portable, comfortable and easy to use
I live in Delhi, where the temperature can cross 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). In that heat, when you're indoors, your only relief is an air conditioner, but when I'm outside, the Torras Coolify Cyber is my go-to gadget. I could forget my phone but not this portable air conditioner. It can get sweaty and uncomfortable when you're active under the sun, but the constant cold airflow makes it manageable.
The Torras wearable AC is a must-have for anyone who gets uncomfortable with the weather outside and needs some relief from the ambient air. And with this limited-time deal bringing the price down to $222, now's a good time to give it a try.

Amazon's Starlink Alternative Is Coming to Australia Next Summer

Amazon's Project Kuiper is finally getting a launch date. Today, Amazon announced an agreement with Australia's state-owned National Broadband Network Company (NBN Co) to bring the satellite internet service to 300,000 eligible customers in rural Australia in 'the middle of 2026.' The announcement comes five years after the Federal Communications Commission first gave Amazon permission to deploy a constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites similar to SpaceX's Starlink service. Since then, Amazon has launched just 78 Project Kuiper satellites -- far below the 8,073 active Starlink satellites in orbit. 'Australia's vast geography presents unique connectivity challenges that traditional infrastructure often can't overcome,' Joe Lathan, Project Kuiper's manager for Australia and New Zealand, said in the press release. 'This partnership with NBN Co represents our commitment to solving these challenges through innovation and collaboration.' This is the first time Amazon has put a firm launch date on its Project Kuiper internet service. In a page updated on June 5, Amazon said it plans to start delivering service to customers 'in late 2025.' The company hasn't said where Project Kuiper will be available or how much service will cost. Amazon did not immediately respond to CNET's request for comment.

Amazon may bring ads to Alexa+ in least surprising move ever

Up until now Amazon has mostly avoided stuffing Alexa with ads, but according to a report from Mashable, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy broached the idea of delivering ads in Alexa Plus during the company's recent earnings call. Alexa Plus is the company's premium AI assistant that is supposed to be more naturally conversational than the previous Alexa. Jassy reportedly said that there is a "significant financial opportunity" in delivering ads via Alexa Plus. "I think over time, there will be opportunities, you know, as people are engaging in more multi-turn conversations to have advertising play a role — to help people find discovery and also as a lever to drive revenue," Jassy said, as found in the earnings call transcript. The new Alexa, introduced in February, has "enhanced" conversational abilities that are meant to put it on other AI assistants like Google's Gemini or ChatGPT. With improved memory its supposed to remember your details and help with managing tasks like booking tables for date night or buying groceries. Currently, Amazon offers a $19.99 a month subscription for non-Prime members. Prime subscribers, which costs $14.99 a month or $139 annually, can get Alexa+ for free Many Amazon devices are Alexa+ capable, though not all. However, Alexa has largely been an ad-free experience for the last decade since it was introduced. Perhaps it's not too surprising that Amazon would consider adding some kind of revenue procuring element to its AI assistant. The company has struggled for years to upgrade Alexa as other AI assistants surpassed Amazon who introduced chatbot assistants to the market. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Largely, integrating ads is a revenue ploy to recoup some of the billions Amazon has burned in trying to turn its smart assistant around. Both Google and OpenAI have explored putting ads in Gemini and ChatGPT. OpenAI teased the idea in December of 2024 though the company stepped back from the idea in the same sentence. Amazon has not officially made moves to add commercials to Alexa+ conversations, but Jassy framed the idea as helpful. It would supposedly assist you in finding products that you might want to buy. With no set plans, it's worth keeping an eye on Alexa+ to see how or if Amazon actually follows through with Jassy's idea and how obtrusive they'll become. Hopefully they'll be skippable at the very least.
