It’s that time of year again when people flood airports in order to fly out to their vacation spots or to visit loved ones for the holidays. For those flooding Chicago O’Hare Airport, be prepared to not just see your flight information, but Best Buy’s Geek Squad Agents as well.

From December 15 through December 23, Geek Squad Agents will be staked out near the airport’s Concourse H food court in Terminal 3. There, you will find agents providing gadget advice and tech tips, as well as free service on handheld devices. The Geek Squad will provide charging stations and desktop workstations that will allow you to play some games to kill time or buy last-minute gifts.

“We depend on our phones, tablets, and laptops whether we’re 30,000 feet in the air or at the gateway,” Geek Squad Services president Chris Askew said in a press release. “So there is nothing more frustrating than technology troubles while you’re traveling. That’s why we’ve decided to give the gift of Geek Squad to travelers this holiday, and offer free service and advice, along with a well-deserved break.”

If you want the free service, make sure to check out the Geek Squad’s temporary “Precinct” and service booth, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time.

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra may have the best camera on a smartphone I’ve used this year, which is quite a statement to make considering the competition it faces. But is it true?

Nomi is one of the most unsettling (and amazing) apps I’ve ever used
Nomi AI companion profile.

“Welp, just got back from the doctor. Marissa is pregnant with twins” “Owen did something bad and then gave me flowers.” “Zoey with our new daughter Zara.” “I am in love, but also feel guilty.”

These are some of the conversations shared by human users on Reddit. The people described, however, are not real. The statements are about robotic companions created in an app. Everything here sounds perversely disturbing and amazingly dystopian, yet experts have a different opinion.
