CES 2024: Jacob’s Wild Ride Through the Latest Tech Marvels

Hey everyone, it’s Jacob here from PickMyE-Bike.com, and oh boy, CES 2024 was an absolute blast! I’ve seen some stuff that’ll knock your socks off, so buckle up and let’s dive into this tech wonderland.

Let’s start with this mind-boggling TV, a mammoth at 137 inches that folds like origami! You wouldn’t believe it – this thing folds into furniture. And when it unfolds? Those seams vanish like magic. They crank up the LED brightness to make them disappear. Price tag? A cool $200,000. Yep, you heard that right! Perfect for your yacht, because where else would you put such a beast?

Samsung’s stepping up their game with the AI Family Hub Plus fridge. This isn’t your average fridge; it tracks what you’re stashing or grabbing, suggests recipes, and even nags you about expiring food – all thanks to its upgraded AI. It’s like having a kitchen assistant that never takes a break.

Now, for the clean freaks, Roborock’s got you covered. Their S8 Max-V Ultra? A cleaning revolution. It hooks up to your water line, refills, and empties itself – a dream come true for anyone tired of the dirty work. Plus, a nifty little brush that sweeps up those annoying corner crumbs. Smart, right?

Kohler’s at it again, but this time with the Spa Viva hand shower. Swap out attachments for a scrubber or massager – your own mini spa at home. A bit more practical than an E-Ink toilet, don’t you think?

And get this – a solar-powered car from the Netherlands, named the Squad. It’s like a solar buggy, reminding me of a beefed-up golf cart. Tops at 40 mph, with a decent range thanks to swappable batteries and solar panels. And it’s just over $6,000! I’m telling you, I need this in my life.

Electric grills are cool, but this one’s a game-changer. Heats up to a sizzling 700 degrees, and man, it sears meat like nobody’s business. Totally electric, totally modern, and backed by the folks behind Charbroil. Now that’s some hot tech!

Okay, this next one’s a bit out there – a muzzle for loud phone talkers. Yes, you heard that right. It muffles voices by 80%, creating a mini sound bubble. Perfect for those confidential calls, if you don’t mind looking a bit… unconventional.

Face recognition for door locks? Lockly’s making it happen. Just walk up and bam, door’s open. No key, no fuss. Philips even has a palm-reading door lock. Talk about living in the future!

Next, sunglasses that change tint on command or with a quick finger press. I’m eyeing their prescription version, Dusk RX. Imagine, no more switching glasses when it gets cloudy or dark – a game-changer for folks like me with prescription shades.

Transparent TVs, anyone? Samsung and LG are on it. While it sounds like something from a sci-fi movie, imagine a TV blending into your room décor or displaying art when not in use. Now that’s what I call a conversation starter.

The XeoPod chair packed with 20 speakers is an audiophile’s dream. It dampens sound so well, you can have a movie theater experience without waking the kids. And XGimi’s Horizon Max projector? A retro-styled, IMAX-certified marvel that auto-adjusts to your wall. Plus, their Aladdin 2.0 – a lamp that’s also a projector. Mind-blowing, right?

NeuroLab’s air gesture software was a standout. Super responsive and works with any camera – even your webcam. I’m hoping for more gesture-controlled smart home devices in the future.

And don’t get me started on the Pebble Flow, a smart electric RV. Self-hitching, packed with smart features, and yeah, a privacy glass for the shower. Family vacation, here I come!

Samsung’s SmartThings map view is a neat way to manage your smart home. And their Bali robot? It’s like having a tiny AI butler on wheels. Also, LG’s got their version, because why not?

AI’s everywhere, even in mattresses and lightbulbs. AI that adjusts lights based on your mood? Intriguing, but I’ll pass on AI reading my feelings in bed. A bit too much, don’t you think?

Sony’s Afila electric car stole my heart. With screens galore and a PlayStation controller to boot, I could live in that car! There’s also Honda’s Space Hub and an ultra-cool $45,000 electric motorcycle with a hubless rear wheel. Now that’s what I call riding in style.

Hisense’s hologram heads-up display for cars is a safety plus, while Jackery’s solar tent on a truck redefines camping. And for pet owners, Pawport’s motorized pet door is a game-changer. Only opens for your pet’s tag – now that’s smart.

Yarbo’s modular robot lawnmower does it all – mowing, leaf blowing, even snow blowing. And Aqara’s M3 hub? A reliable smart home hub that doesn’t rely on the cloud. Love that redundancy feature!

SEVY’s integral heating tech for cooking? A futuristic microwave that cooks evenly and keeps food moist. I tried their blueberry cakes – two minutes to bake and delicious.

And there were robots galore – from pet replacements to robotic bartenders. It’s like walking into a sci-fi movie set.

CES 2024 was a whirlwind of innovation and excitement. Can’t wait to see what’s next! Stay tuned for more tech updates and reviews. Jacob, signing off from PickMyE-Bike.com. Peace!
