CES 2025: A Day of Innovation, Resilience, and the Sphere’s Magic

January 7, 2025—The First Day of CES, by Terri Nakamura An Early Start for the Delta Keynote Mornings and I aren’t the best of friends, but today was an exception. At 7 AM, I was up and ready to head to the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) West Hall. Why the early start when doors didn’t open until 10 AM?

I've noticed quite a few "dear algorithm" posts on Threads. The idea is, you write a post asking the algorithm to send you followers who like the same things that you like.
