If you’re looking for the ’20s equivalent of the old TV and VCR on a cart, then Hisense’s new S6 FollowMe is a smart display that you can drag around with you. It’s not a robot, though, I am sad to report.
This little guy, announced in advance…
For the past few years I have written CNET’s weirdest gadgets of CES roundup, and even though CES 2026 hasn’t even started, I already found a candidate for this year’s Best of CES Weird Tech award: The Hisense S6 FollowMe display.

Czech GDP growth was confirmed at 0.8% quarter-on-quarter and 2.8% year-on-year in the final estimate. Real household income added 0.3% YoY in third quarter 2025, while annual household consumption per capita grew at a faster pace of 2.8%. Such twofold dynamics fostered the trend of the savings rate softening to levels observed in the pre-pandemic years. The household savings rate was 18.4% in third quarter 2025, which is 0.1ppt lower than the previous quarter and 1.9ppt lower than a year ago. Total wage costs of non-financial corporations increased by 7.3% YoY in 3Q25.
The investment rate increased by 0.3ppt QoQ and reached 26.8% in third quarter 2025, yet it was 1.1ppt weaker than in the previous year. The profit rate was 43.5% in 3Q25, down 0.1ppt QoQ and 0.3ppt from the previous year. The reading confirmed the good shape of the Czech economy, with fixed investment expanding 0.6% QoQ and 1.7% YoY. The punchy investment figure offers some hope that the Czech industrial base might not be in such a dismal state as suggested by the recent downbeat confidence indicator, with the caveat that the national accounts statistics measure is for the third quarter, but confidence tends to be more forward-looking.

Layoffs at The L.S. Starrett Co. disrupted rural labor market
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor today awarded $551,195 to Massachusetts to support employment and training services for workers affected by layoffs at The L.S. Starrett Co.
On June 30, 2025, The L.S. Starrett Co. – one of the region’s largest employers – laid off 78 manufacturing workers. Based in Athol, the precision measuring tool manufacturer’s downsizing significantly disrupted the northern Massachusetts rural labor market.
Administered by the department’s Employment and Training Administration, this National Dislocated Worker Grant allows the Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development to provide retraining and skills development services for dislocated workers seeking assistance in Franklin and Worcester counties.
Supported by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014, National Dislocated Worker Grants provide a state or local board with funding for direct services and assistance in areas experiencing a major economic dislocation event that leads to workforce needs exceeding available resources.
Creighton University economics professor Ernie Goss said there are a number of factors affecting the job market, including inflation and increased tariffs.
Tariffs, particularly, are “hitting smaller businesses and medium-sized businesses more…
