A new vacuum cleaner with a claw arm. I can see the killer claw arm movies coming. Gizmodo: It was only a matter of time before robot vacuums reached a new stage of evolution. Over the years, they have become faster, smarter, and can even climb. So, it should be no surprise to anyone here at CES 2025 that we’d see one that can sprout a claw arm to assist in its cleaning duties. The Roborock Saros Z70 is a robot vacuum with a foldable arm inside its chassis.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Sunday signed into law a measure that boosts Social Security payments for current and former public employees, affecting nearly 3 million people who receive pensions from their time as teachers, firefighters, police officers and in other public service jobs. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Advocates say the Social Security Fairness Act rights a decades-old disparity, though it will also put strain on Social Security Trust Funds, which face a looming insolvency crisis. The bill rescinds two provisions—the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset—that limit Social Security benefits for recipients if they get retirement payments from other sources, including public retirement programs from a state or local government. “The bill I’m signing today is about a simple proposition: Americans who have worked hard all their life to earn an honest living should be able to retire with economic security and dignity—that’s the entire purpose of the Social Security system,” Biden said during a signing ceremony in the White House East Room. “This is a big deal,” he said. Biden was joined by labor leaders, retirement advocates, and Democratic and Republican lawmakers including the legislation’s primary sponsors, Maine Republican Sen.
