LGs transparent wireless OLED TV is now available. The 77-inch OLED T has 4K resolution, LGs wireless transmission tech for video and audio and the ability to shift between transparent and opaque modes with the push of a button. This futuristic tech, first introduced at CES 2024, will only set you back oh, holy hell, this thing costs $60,000. Engadgets Billy Steele checked out the OLED T in January and was impressed with its unique presentation. Although some transparent visuals can appear unsettling like a miniaturized singer who appeared to be in the room the fish tank video in the image below was more pleasant. He also found the TVs downward-firing speakers to sound surprisingly good. Billy Steele for Engadget You can change between transparent and opaque modes by pressing a button that raises or lowers a contrast screen. It rolls down into a box at its base when you prefer the funky fish-tank look. It also includes backlights to accentuate its transparent look. The TV also has a chyron-like T-Bar at the bottom, which you can use to check out sports scores, weather, song titles and more. The bar can stay on even when the rest of the TV is off. The OLED T is powered by LGs Alpha 11 A1 processor, which has four times the performance of the previous-gen chip including 70 percent better graphics performance and 30 percent faster processing speed. The TV maintains its clean profile with LGs Zero Connect Box, which sends video and audio wirelessly to the TV. Just plug your streaming boxes and game consoles into it rather than the TV. If you happen to be Bill Gates (sup, Bill!), you can lay down $60 grand to order the LG OLED T starting today. Its available on LGs website and at select retail partners, including Best Buy.

Teamsters unions at five additional Amazon facilities have voted to go on strikes, following similar action in New York City and Illinois. The international Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) announced in a statement that union members unanimously approved measures to authorize strikes in four Southern California facilities and a fifth facility in Atlanta. The four Southern California facilities are based in City of Industry, Palmdale, Victorville and San Bernardino, according to SiliconValley.com. This brings the total number of Amazon facilities that have authorized worker strikes to eight. The total includes a facility in Skokie, Illinois and two New York City warehouses on Staten Island and in Queens. The IBT represents just under 10,000 workers in 10 Amazon facilities nationwide. These facilities approved a strike right in the middle of the holiday shopping season, one of the busiest and most lucrative times of the year for the online retail giant. Amazon crews went on strike to protest against low wages, hazardous working conditions and Amazons illegal refusal to recognize their union, according to IBT statements. Teamsters General President Sean N. OBrien said in the statement that Amazon has failed to provide adequate compensation and protections for its workforce. If their demands are ignored, OBrien says they will start strikes. Amazon workers want to earn a good living, have decent health care and be safe on the job, OBrien said. They are done with the disrespect and if Amazon keeps pushing them, they will push them to strike.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/five-more-amazon-facilities-authorize-worker-strikes-185030459.html?src=rss

ChatGPT is now available on WhatsApp. Starting today, if you add 1 (800) CHAT-GPT to your contacts that's 1 (800) 242-8478 you can start using the chatbot over Meta's messaging app. In this iteration, ChatGPT is limited to text-only input, so there's no Advanced Voice Mode or visual input on offer, but you still get all the smarts of the o1-mini model. What's more, over WhatsApp ChatGPT is available everywhere OpenAI offers its chatbot, with no account necessary. OpenAI is working on a way to authenticate existing users over WhatApp, though the company did not share a timeline for when that feature might launch. It's worth noting Meta offers its own chatbot in WhatsApp. Separately, OpenAI is launching a ChatGPT hotline in the US. Once again, the number for that is 1 (800) 242-8478. As can probably imagine, the toll-free number works with any phone, be it a smartphone or old flip phone. OpenAI will offer 15 minutes of free ChatGPT usage through the hotline, though you can log into your account to get more time. "Were only just getting started on making ChatGPT more accessible to everyone," said Kevin Weil, chief product officer at OpenAI, during the company's most recent 12 Days of OpenAI livestream. According to Weil, the two features were born from a recent hack week the company held. Other recent livestreams have seen OpenAI make ChatGPT Search available to all free users and bring its Sora video generation out of private preview.
