The Singing Machine Home: A Bluetooth speaker that moonlights as a karaoke machine

Add as a preferred source on Google

For me, it takes some pushy friends and perhaps some liquid courage before I even consider singing karaoke. So if you’re like me and you need to psych yourself up, get going because the future of living room karaoke is here. 

The Home is the latest from the Singing Machine’s line of karaoke devices and can serve your home with more than just bad renditions of “I Will Survive.”

This sleek, modern Bluetooth speaker comes with a remote that doubles as the microphone. The third component is your TV where you can stream a subscription-based library of over 8,000 songs from Singing Machine’s web service called Play. For the extra amazing or extra terrible performances, you can even record and share on social media right from the device.

But when you want to leave the singing to the professionals, the Home speaker wirelessly connects to Bluetooth enabled devices to play your personal music collection or tap into streaming services like Pandora or Spotify. 

The somewhat donut shaped speaker is a great design for display and doesn’t scream “karaoke machine!” – just in case there are certain house guests you’d rather not share your singing diva side with. 

The Home has been released through Best Buy and is going for $300.

Roborock brought FIFA World Cup fever to Miami and it was blast to experience
Roborock Miami Fifa World Cup event

World Cup fever has hit Miami, and I experienced a bit of it myself at the famed Aventura Mall. Robotic vacuum manufacturer Roborock hosted a pop-up event there all weekend, allowing guests to play games, win prizes, and find out about the company’s current lineup.

The installation, dubbed “Your Home, Your Stadium,” ran in collaboration with two of Roborock’s partnerships: Real Madrid and Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired. So, naturally, there was plenty of Real Madrid memorabilia on display, including a shirt signed by France striker Kylian Mbappe. Real Madrid and Brazil legend Roberto Carlos was present on the last day of the installation to greet fans.

Apple Home AI features come with a hidden price tag
Your cameras just got smarter, but so did Apple's upsell game.
Apple Home

I previously covered the new Apple Home AI features revealed at WWDC 2026, which include several quality-of-life improvements, including auto-updating notifications, smarter camera search, automatic tracking and stitching of multiple videos for a single event, and higher-resolution recordings, among others. 

Like many Apple Home features, these features are only available to iCloud+ customers. However, at the event, Apple didn’t notify which plans will get access to these features. Today, we get the answer in the release notes of macOS Golden Gate beta 3, and you are not going to like it.
