Skechers skewered for adding secret Apple AirTag compartment to kids' sneakers — have we reached peak obsessive parenting?
Helicopter parenting just got a hardware upgrade. Skechers has launched a new kids' sneaker line — 'Find My Skechers' — with a covert feature that's raising eyebrows: a hidden compartment under the insole, tailor-made for an Apple AirTag. This unexpected feature allows for 'easy tracking and comfort of mind,' the brand's product page boasts. 'Hidden compartment under the heel of the insole has a screw-tight cover that comfortably hides the AirTag. Apple AirTag and screwdriver not included.' From the outside, these Skechers are indistinguishable from the regular line — no branding hints at the AirTag hiding inside. The compartment's screw-on lid keeps the tracker secure, safe from curious toddlers (and would-be pocket thieves). Sizes run from toddlers to eight-year-olds, with prices starting at $52 — AirTag sold separately. In theory, it's a clever way for parents to locate lost shoes. In practice? It's a way to track their kids without them knowing — sparking an online brawl over whether this is parental peace of mind or pint-sized surveillance. In a video posted to TikTok by @brutamerica showing the new sneakers, commenters were split between safety and Big Brother fears. 'This could end badly or good,' one wrote. Another argued, 'There's too many kids that go missing without a trace to worry about normalizing tracking above the safety factor. If the world was a safer place we can talk about the problems of normalizing tracking all day… but it's far too dangerous to worry about that.' 'This is actually smart,' chimed in someone else. 'I'm more worried abt the AirTag's ability to handle all the normal kid activities (running, jumping, etc) while not breaking… damage to the AirTag could really hurt a kid if it's in their shoe,' pointed out someone else. Skechers isn't the first brand to embrace AirTag accessorizing, but the shoes may be the most discreet option yet. Still, critics see them as a step toward normalizing constant tracking — until we're all wearing GPS-ready clothing by default. Or, as one Bluesky user summed up the mood: 'Why have relationships when you can have dictatorship?' In other words: We've gone from 'Be home by dinner' to 'I know exactly where you are — and so do your shoes.' As previously reported by The Post, rising parental anxiety has already fueled 'next-level helicopter parents' — some tracking their college-age kids, calling RAs and even contacting professors. Experts warn that this constant monitoring, however well-intentioned, can stunt independence and resilience, making it harder for young adults to navigate life on their own.

World's 'Oldest' Baby Born From 30-Year-Old Frozen Embryo
A baby born in the US from an embryo frozen 30 years ago is believed to have broken the record for the world's 'oldest' baby. Named Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, the baby was born on July 26 from the embryo that had been cryopreserved since 1994. The baby's parents, Lindsey and Tim Pierce, who live in Ohio, had been trying to get pregnant for seven years. The breakthrough came when they "adopted" the embryo from Linda Archerd, 62, who had it stored decades ago. "We had a rough birth but we are both doing well now. He is so chill. We are in awe that we have this precious baby!" Lindsey Pierce, his mother, was quoted as saying by MIT Technology Review. It was in the early 1990s that Ms Archerd and her then-husband decided to try in vitro fertilisation (IVF) after struggling to conceive. In 1994, four embryos resulted: one was transferred to Archerd and resulted in the birth of a daughter, who is now 30 and mother to a 10-year-old. The other embryos were cryopreserved and stored. "The baby has a 30-year-old sister. It's been pretty surreal. It's hard to even believe," said Ms Archerd, who revealed that she had wanted another baby using the embryo, but her then-husband felt differently. Ms Archerd went on to divorce him, but she won custody of the embryos and kept them in storage, still hopeful she might use them one day, perhaps with another partner. AI helps couple conceive Last month, a couple trying to conceive a baby for 18 years finally managed to get pregnant thanks to the use of artificial intelligence (AI). IVF attempts were unsuccessful due to azoospermia, a rare condition in which no measurable sperm is present in the male partner's semen. Using the STAR (Sperm Tracking and Recovery) method devised by the Columbia University Fertility Center (CUFC), the couple managed to get pregnant. Researchers at the fertility centre examined the semen sample with the AI-powered system and managed to find the hidden sperm. After recovering the sperm, it was used to fertilise the wife's egg via IVF, and she became the first-ever woman to conceive using the STAR method.

Samsung's new Crystal UHD TV is a top seller and 'like a cinema in your room'
Samsung has released a new and improved model of its Crystal UHD smart TV that's shot to the number one spot in Amazon's Hot New Releases category Samsung has released a new smart TV that's landed at the top of Amazon's hottest seller list. The 2025 Samsung Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV is also on sale at £479, down from £549. This is for the 65' model, which has taken the number one spot in Amazon's 'Hot New Releases in TVs' category, beating the 50' model (£329) and 43' model (£269) in fifth and 8th place, respectively. This newly released device is the latest addition to Samsung's popular and affordable Crystal UHD series. It's powered by a crystal processor that's able to boost image quality to 4K UHD resolution, which has four times more pixels than regular FHD. This allows the TV to display more 'natural and true-to-life' colours, while High Dynamic Range (HDR) shows more depth and detail in both lighter and darker images. The Samsung TV utilises Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance non-4K content, while immersive Object Tracking Sounds Lite follows the action and Adaptive Sound optimises audio that's tailored to what's on screen. The TV runs on Samsung's Tizen operating system, which offers easy access to apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and BBC iPlayer, along with countless free TV shows and films on Samsung TV Plus. The new-and-improved model boasts a 'MetalStream' design, which is said to take inspiration from aircraft engineering and uses a single sheet of metal to create a slim, seamless profile. The TV can also be controlled with the Quick Remote app for Android and iOS, or with a Samsung Galaxy Watch. The Samsung Crystal range offers an affordable entry into 4K viewing, rivalling other budget-friendly brands like the Amazon Fire TV 4-Series, which sits in a similar price bracket up to £369 for the 55' mode. They both offer a similar UHD display with HDR capabilities, but what puts the Samsung slightly ahead is its ability to enhance lower resolution content and boost the image. The Samsung's surround sound may also feel more immersive compared to the Fire TV, although some buyers have found the Samsung benefits from a soundbar. Ultimately, neither model stands head and shoulders above the other, but some may prefer the build quality of the Samsung, which can also offer more longevity. Shoppers can also consider the new Sky Glass Air, the 4K UHD smart TV with Sky channels and streaming apps built in from £6 per month when paired with a Sky TV package. Released in June, this device boasts a 4K HDR Quantum Dot screen and Dolby Audio speaker system, as well as Sky's intelligent operating system that learns what viewers like. As for the 2025 Samsung Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV, buyers have awarded it a 4.4-star rating after more than 600 reviews, compared to 4.3-stars for the Amazon Fire TV 4-Series. One user said: "It's like having a cinema in your front room. The picture is so clear, the size is great, the screen is almost the whole TV as there is a little border. With all Samsung TVs the sound can be a bit off while watching a TV show, you might have to turn it up or down on new episodes if you're binge watching, that's the only problem I've come across.' Another said: 'I'm amazed. Functionality, lightweight so easy to wall mount, great apps and the picture quality is stunning. We've started playing visuals on YouTube whilst listening to music and picture quality is perfect. I want to replace the TV in our bedroom so would buy this again in a heartbeat.' A third said: "Brilliant TV. Easy to set up. Clear picture. Great audio. Good price since current sale price offer." However, the same buyer noted a flaw, adding: "Only thing I hated are the legs. You would need such a long cabinet to sit it on."

Toshiba Releases Automotive Photorelay with 1800V Output Withstand Voltage
KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched an automotive photorelay [1], ' TLX9165T,' in a 10pin SO16L-T package, that supports high voltage automotive batteries with an output withstand voltage of 1800V (min). Volume shipments start today. Improved charge times and longer cruising ranges are essential for wider adoption of electric vehicles, and both require more efficient operation of battery systems. Battery management systems (BMS) realize efficient system operation by monitoring the battery charge status, and the insulation between the battery and the vehicle body that is essential for the safe use of high-voltage batteries. BMS that must handle high voltages use electrically isolated photorelays. Energy storage systems (ESS), used to secure efficient operation of renewable energy, have also adopted a configuration similar to BMS; they handle the same high voltage as electric vehicles, and use electrically isolated photorelays. While 400V battery systems are the mainstream in electric vehicles, growing demand for longer cruising ranges and faster charging will hasten the shift to 800V systems. Photorelays used in those battery systems must have a withstand voltage approximately twice the system voltage, which is 1600V or more for an 800V system. Toshiba's new photorelay incorporates a newly developed high-voltage MOSFET with an output withstand voltage of 1800V(min), suitable for 800V systems. The 10-pin SO16L-T package adopts a resin with a Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) [2] of 600 or more, putting it in material group I [3] of the IEC 60664-1 [4] international standard, and the pin configuration ensures a creepage distance of 7.5mm or more [5] on the light receiver side. These features are compliant with IEC 60664-1, and deliver an operating voltage of 1500V. The pin pitch and pin configuration are the same as SO16L-T [6], allowing the common use of PCB pattern design. Toshiba will continue to develop photorelay products suitable for battery systems in automotive applications and energy storage systems in industrial equipment, contributing to the safe operation of equipment. Notes: [1] Photorelay: The primary (control) side and the secondary (switch) side are electrically isolated. Switches connected directly to the AC line and switches between equipment that differ in ground potential can be controlled through insulating barriers. [2] Comparative Tracking Index (CTI): IEC 60112 [7] defines CTI as the maximum possible voltage before droplets of ammonium chloride solution on the surface of the insulating material cause tracking, under the given test conditions. [3] Material group I: One of the classifications of molded materials in IEC 60664-1 [4] refers to materials with a Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) [2] of 600 and more. [4] IEC 60664-1: This standard specifies principles, requirements, and test methods for insulation coordination for systems up to AC 1000V or DC 1500V. [5] A creepage distance of 7.5mm or more: The required creepage distance for an operating voltage 1500V, material group I, pollution degree 2 (the degree of pollution of the operating environment where electrical equipment is used: pollutants are entirely non-conductive, but could potentially be rendered conductive by condensation.) [6] SO16L-T: The package used for Toshiba's TLX9160T and TLX9152M. [7] IEC 60112: An international standard that specifies testing methods for measuring the Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) of insulating materials. This standard is used to evaluate electrical breakdown (tracking) characteristics at the surface of solid insulating materials.
