CES (formerly the Consumer Electronics Show) is and the biggest meeting of the year. It helps to set the stage all amazing tools we will see in the next 12 months. However, among all the quadcopters, questionably cute robots and gadgets with fancy screens, there are many small things that make CES a one-of-a-kind event. To highlight some of the dumbest, dumbest and best things we encountered at the show this year, we humbly present the unofficial Dumb Fun Awards for CES 2025.
Cutest digger – Komatsu PC01E-2
Komatsu’s PC01E-2 looks like a child’s toy, except it works and is pretty cool. You want to go around and pinch the little container until it turns pink. But it’s not all fun and games because this little bit of digging is meant to help dig things out – even in tight spaces. In fact, it’s small enough to fit in most elevators, so if you ever run into a problem where you need to dig through, say, a roof, Komatsu’s got you covered.
Often being vaporware – FX Super One
We often try to be optimistic about new technology. But since Faraday Future announced its The first popular car in 2016the company has produced less than 20 cars in total. And for the great success of making less than a dozen cars, the founder and CEO of Faraday Future. he went and added himself. Now at CES 2025, the company is trying to make a comeback with its new line of FX EVs, except that it can’t even be photographed. The special camouflage systems they use often help to hide the design of the car already it is announced, without making it seem like a finished product at its press conference. That said, calling it 50 percent done is probably being too generous. So while there’s always a chance the company will make a change, don’t be surprised if you don’t see the FX Super One on the road.
If you need someone to share their beauty stories, this is your man. And yet, even with the floppy photovoltaic-ready, a mess of head decoration, he is still without a doubt very dapper Dan.
Everyone is always worried when our robot overlords come to conquer us. Unless they are the people we should be most concerned about. That’s because during the Unitree robot demonstration, a homo sapien user interfered with the controller, causing the robot to capture our very own Karissa Bell. Human or robot, it’s not good.
Very interesting – Bathing
Originally this series was supposed to highlight interesting things we saw at CES that didn’t get much praise (or hate) elsewhere, but then Mirumi went he has won an award. I don’t care, though. This robot is designed to do one thing – grab your arm and look at things you’re moving. It’s basically an eyeball and a stickiness that can’t be denied. And I will protect it and love it with my life.
Look, taking care of your skin is important. It is the largest organ in your body! But if traditional flavors, oils and extracts aren’t enough for you, I’m not sure that the red Shark mask is the answer. If I’m at home and my significant other comes out of the bathroom looking like goddam Doctor Doom, I’m not sleeping. I run to the door and call Reed Richards for help.
Best site: AARP
AARP describes itself as “the world’s largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering Americans 50 and older to make choices about how they live as they age.” So instead of encouraging people to walk around from booth to booth while checking out all the new CES gadgets, AARP went ahead and decided to set up an all-ass playground on the show floor. Naturally, attendees, young and old climbed the net and hit the ball back and forth and everyone seemed to be having a relaxing time during the annual tech conference. Good luck everyone.
The company with the most FOMO – Jackrabbit
Las Vegas is an insult to Mother Nature. It’s a bustling city in the middle of the desert filled with all kinds of temptations and enough neon lighting to melt your brain. So when a company doesn’t want to fly to CES, we get it. But that doesn’t mean you can try your hand at email marketing to be “good for CES, but smart enough to skip it.” Either leave the fence sitting down and suffer with the rest of us or keep quiet. So Hey Jackrabbit, you say you’re not at CES. That’s good, we feel the same way.
You know what sounds safe? An electric moped that turns into a quadcopter, but only if you install the propellers with your own hands. The basic version also has only 25 minutes of flight time. Although the company says there are several safety features, there is also a built-in parachute. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we can’t have air taxis and other hybrid aerial vehicles. But this thing does not inspire confidence. However, if you have more energy and sense, please give it a try and let us know how it goes.
Not every computer part has to be able to produce high framerates and MSI has proven that this year by creating a cooler CPU with a built-in converter. What’s the point, you ask? Well look at that happy little dragon sitting on top of his throne. Just look at him. But really, you can put whatever you like. The only sad thing is that this water block is just an idea and MSI has no real plans to sell it. What a bummer.
We couldn’t decide which one is the ugliest, so we just had a tie in this category. For Dell, its new corporate logo is a good one. After all, nobody cares about lines like Latitude, Inspiron and Optiplex. But killing the XPS name, which is the only Dell brand that actually means anything, is a step too far.
Meanwhile, in an attempt to attract younger buyers who may not be comfortable with its black laptop, Lenovo created a ThinkPad without the carbon fiber or Trackpoint nub. That’s really insulting. Granted, if you’re under 50 you probably don’t care, but any nerd who grew up using rotary phones is probably pissed off.
High altitude: Useful
CES is home to all kinds of sex technology, but even among the various vibrators and toys, the Handy booth somehow managed to stand out from the crowd. That’s because in addition to having a selection of kinky products on display, the company had guests looking to spin the wheel for a chance to win their own prize. And if people are eagerly waiting for the chance to get rid of a fun tool so they can get rid of their stones, I don’t know what is. So maybe keep it in your pants until you get home.
