TechCrunch Industry News ·

2019/03/11

It was only a matter of time before I let a robot enter my apartment and run wild. Roomba’s have been around since 2002, so it’s somewhat odd that it took me so long to get on board the robot vacuum train. But, alas, I’ve been testing the Roborock S5, a combo vacuum and mop, in my apartment for the last few weeks. TL;DR: I love him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Samsung finally gets Bluetooth earbuds right

TechCrunch Industry News ·

2019/03/05

Granted, this news is maybe a bit too late. Samsung’s already sold out of the free Galaxy Buds it was throwing in with S10 pre-orders. That said, the new Bluetooth earbuds are worth the $129 asking price, especially for Galaxy device owners. As with many fellow S10 reviewers, I’ve been using the Buds for about a week now. They happily hitched a ride in my ears from San Francisco to Barcelona and then back home to New York. And I’ve been digging them the whole time. Learn more about your ad choices

TechCrunch Industry News ·

2019/03/01

Believe it or not, the retention of black and Latinx employees at Google was better last year than in 2017. Though, Google’s attrition rates of black and Latinx — which indicate the rate at which employees leave on an annual basis — are still higher than the national average. For Native American employees, Google’s attrition rates significantly increased from the year prior. To be clear, that’s a bad thing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
