Ecovacs has launched its most affordable new robotic window cleaner, the Winbot W1S, in Australia. Coming hot off the heels of Ecovacs commemorating a million Winbots sold around the world, the W1S comes in at $599 locally. That’s notably cheaper than the W1 Pro and W2 Pro Omni models already on the market. Made to clean windows of various sizes without manual effort, the Winbot W1S uses a combination of sensors and sprays to get surfaces sparkling.

Samsung has set a date for its latest Galaxy Unpacked event in Brooklyn, where it will announce a fresh range of devices with a “new AI-powered interface”. Depending on your time zone, this Galaxy Unpacked will happen on either 9 or 10 July for Australian night owls. Samsung also dropped a brief teaser trailer ahead of the event, including the tagline “Ultra Unfolds”. Whether this means a new Galaxy Ultra device remains to be seen, but new Z Flip and Z Fold devices are likely.

To ring in the new year, I’m on the home stretch of Metaphor ReFantazio and, I kid you not, there’s a side quest about selling bathwater to a merchant 💦 https://t.co/eNrX5A86vy
Finished Dragon Age: The Veilguard last night, and I reckon it did a great job of satisfyingly closing several big story arcs that’ve run through the series. Still not over the emotional final mission. A bug did prevent me from getting the Platinum though 😠 https://t.co/mdkiCogDeW
