CardCash’s marketplace lets you buy an array of gift cards at a discount.
You don’t have to be an avid reader of restaurant industry trade publications—though I can attest that they are oddly fascinating—to realize that everything’s getting more expensive.

Obituary: Farewell to robots.txt (1994-2025)
Henning Fries:
The protocol taught us that technology can be based on human values like ethics and morality. It showed that voluntary compliance works when all parties benefit. Its greatest achievement was perhaps preserving the internet for three decades from what it has become today – a soulless extraction machine.
A desktop 3D texture printer, a better way to chose skincare solutions, an AI-infused pet cam, and more.
The next frontier of consumer tech isn’t just about adding more screens to your life or boosting your devices’ processing power. Instead, it’s empowering users to accomplish more, from powerful new maker tools to more efficient skincare solutions. On the home front, assistive robots are suddenly in reach, and AI cameras are learning to provide better pet care instead of just surveilling humans. Of course, there’s cool screen-related stuff too, including wildly thin foldable phones and increasingly immersive AR glasses.Â

The entertainment giant has no timeline for killing the streamer’s app, even if it really wants you to watch via Disney+ instead.
Last week, Disney briefed the press on how it’s bringing the entire Hulu catalog into its Disney+ app, with a dedicated tab for accessing Hulu’s more adult-oriented fare. But despite all the headlines you might’ve seen about the Hulu app shutting down, Disney says it’s not happening anytime soon, if at all.

Syncere’s Lume robot video went viral. But can it actually ship?
A robot that folds your laundry is the kind of idea that sells itself. Just ask Syncere, a five-person startup that secured more than 1,000 preorders for its Lume robot with nothing but a simulated concept video.
