Govee Goes Big On Design For New Smart Lamp Line-Up
Govee has taken the covers off of a trio of unique new smart lamps, with the Chinese brand's new floor lamp series comprised of three distinct models built to do more than just glow in a corner.
The Tree, Uplighter, and Torchiere Floor Lamps - which have just been revealed for the German market - aim to turn your walls and ceilings into mood-setting light shows.
Starting with the Tree Floor Lamp, and it's got a sculptural three-head design that looks more like modern decor than traditional lighting.
Govee's new Tree Floor Lamp
Each lamp head can swivel 350° side-to-side and tilt 90° up or down, with beam angles that go from narrow spotlighting to wide ambient wash. That means it should be good for both highlighting a bookshelf as it is mood-lighting a Netflix night.
It packs Govee's RGBWW tech, with LuminBlend smooth transitions, 16 million colors, and brightness up to 1500 lumens. It's tunable from 2700K to 6500K and comes with 64 scene presets, app control, voice support, and full Matter compatibility.
The Uplighter is a triple-threat, with a ceiling-facing ripple light at the top, a decorative RGBIC strip in the middle, and a lower lamp that beams out 1000 lumens for actual task lighting.

It's looks to be the most 'routine-ready' of the bunch, with circadian lighting and automation features built in.
The Torchiere keeps things a little more relaxed, but still has plenty of smarts. It focuses on ambient glow with triple-zone RGB control, a soft output that's easy on the eyes, and a built-in music sync mode for your chill-out playlists or party nights.
Govee's new Torchiere Floor Lamp
As with the rest of Govee's ecosystem, all three lamps play nicely with Alexa, Google Assistant, and they are all Matter compatible.
Everything's manageable via the, much improved, Govee app, where you'll get all the usual features such as timers, DIY scenes, and routines.
They're on sale in Germany now, I'd expect a US launch to follow soon.

New Study Shows Smartwatch Stress Sensors Have No Idea What They're Doing
You might want to think twice before you put a lot of stock in the latest stress charts from your fitness wearable. A recent study from the Netherlands' Leiden University, published in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, has found that when smartwatches and similar devices record readings on stress, fatigue, or sleep, they're frequently getting it wrong. Researchers studied 800 young adults using the same Garmin Vivosmart 4 smartwatch model. They compared the data the smartwatches produced with the reports that the users created four times per day about how sleepy or stressed they were feeling. Lead author and associate professor Eiko Fried said the correlation between the wearable data and the user-created data was, "basically zero." A representative for Garmin did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Stressed or sex? Your watch doesn't know So why do wearables like fitness smartwatches get it so wrong? Their sensors are fairly limited in what they can do. Watches like these need to be worn correctly at all times (a loose or tight watch may give poor readings, for example), and they typically use basic information like pulse rate and movement to make guesses about health. Those guesses don't always reflect real-world scenarios. A wearable may identify high stress when the real cause of the change was a workout, excitement over good news, or sex. There are so many potential alternatives to stress or fatigue that the watches in the study never really got it right -- and the devices sometimes guessed the complete opposite emotional state from what users recorded. The Dutch study did note that Garmin's Body Battery readings, which specifically measure physical fatigue, were more reliable than stress indicators, but still inaccurate. And sleep sensing performed the best of them all, with Garmin watches showing a two-thirds chance of noting the differences between a good night's sleep and a bad one. It's also worth noting that smartwatch sensors can become more accurate as technology improves. It would be interesting to run a similar study with the much newer Garmin Vivosmart 5 to see if anything has improved, as well as see if other models like the latest versions of the Apple Watch have similar accuracy results.

Doctors Were Worse at Spotting Cancer After Leaning on AI, Study Finds
Artificial intelligence tools have been shown to help doctors detect pre-cancerous growths in the colon—but don't even think about taking those tools away once you've introduced them. A new study published this week in The Lancet found that doctors who are given AI tools to assist with identifying potential cancer risks in patients get worse at making those same observations when they go back to doing it without AI's help. The study looked at four endoscopy centers in Poland, tracking the success rates of detecting colon cancer for three months before AI tools were introduced and three months after. Once AI was introduced, colonoscopies were randomly assigned to either receive AI support or not. The researchers found that doctors who gave colonoscopies without AI after having its assistance available saw their detection rates drop, producing outcomes 20% worse than what they were before AI was introduced. Making the results all the more troubling is the fact that the 19 doctors who participated in the study were all very experienced and had performed more than 2,000 colonoscopies each. If those doctors can fall prey to de-skilling, seeing their own abilities erode because of reliance on AI tools, the outcomes from inexperienced doctors could be even worse. There is little doubt that AI tools can help in medical settings. There have been numerous studies that suggest that AI can facilitate everything from the detection of cancers to the diagnosis of illnesses based on a patient's medical history. Analyzing information based on a whole wealth of previous examples is kinda the bread and butter of AI (you know, as opposed to generating braindead content slop), and there is evidence that suggests that humans can augment their own abilities by using AI tools. Studies in medical settings have found that doctors who use these tools can produce better outcomes for their patients. But no one, including doctors, is immune to the risk of shutting your brain off and relying on AI rather than their own skills. Earlier this year, Microsoft published a study that found knowledge workers who lean on AI stop thinking critically about the work they are doing and feel confident that the assistance from AI will be enough to get the job done. Researchers at MIT similarly found that relying on ChatGPT for essay writing resulted in less critical engagement with the material. In the long term, there's a real risk that reliance on AI will erode our ability to problem solve and reason, which is not ideal when AI continues to generate bad information. The American Medical Association found that about two in three physicians have already adopted AI to augment their abilities. Hopefully, they're still able to identify when it does something like hallucinating a body part that doesn't exist.
