Unlike Sony’s robotic dog, Aibo, Casio’s Moflin can’t run away on its own. | Image: Casio Casio has opened preorders for its robotic pet called Moflin that looks like a cross between a hamster and Star Trek’s Tribbles.

Originally developed through a collaboration with a Japanese startup called Vanguard Industries, Moflin is now being manufactured and distribu … - Best Solar Companies of October 2024

I remember seeing Imgur a lot on the Something Awful forums back in the day, too, though following other policy changes last year that led to the r … - Adam Mosseri acknowledges ‘mistakes’ in Threads’ broken moderation
