How did @druski go from doing comedy skits on Instagram to touring with Jack Harlow and appearing in a Drake video? This week, the comedian and actor visited WIRED to offer up answers to his most googled questions.

Last week, US TikTok users were blocked from accessing the app for about 14 hours ahead of a ban coming into effect on national security grounds. Once their access was granted again, many TikTok users reported their algorithms feeling…off. One user who goes by @WritingWithJelly said her app felt different, claiming that she was getting pushed old videos and that her TikTok Live feature wasn’t working. @hyndsyghts, a TikTok user who stated that they have both a UK and a US TikTok account, showed a screenshot and screen recording demonstrating that negative searches for Trump had zero results in the US, but populated normally in the UK. She also told WIRED that she has noticed little to no videos about Palestine, People’s March or protests in general on her FYP, and that many of her normal comments “get filtered and put into review.” A TikTok spokesperson told WIRED that neither the app’s policies nor algorithms changed as a result of the app going dark or coming back online. In addition, they said TikTok is still in the process of fully bringing back the app in the US, which might cause some temporary instability to the product’s features.

Samsung’s latest Androids have once again loaded its flagship phones with artificial intelligence capabilities, and while many of those features are tricks we’ve seen before—even almost a decade ago—they have now been infused with large language models that make them more effective. @julianchokkattu takes a closer look. 📹editor: @yelljo31

This drone footage filmed on Wednesday Jan. 8 shows the aftermath of the Palisades Fire in a neighbourhood of Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles. The wildfires that began this week have killed 10 people, destroyed thousands of structures, and burned more than 35,000 acres in and around Los Angeles. Five fires are currently burning—some of them almost wholly uncontained—including a new fire that broke out on Thursday, underlying the ongoing threat presented by high winds and dry conditions. On Thursday fire officials informed the Federal Aviation Administration that a firefighting aircraft struck a drone operating over the Palisades Fire, the largest of the fires still burning. The aircraft landed safely but the FAA issued a statement underlining that it was a federal crime to interfere with firefighting efforts on public lands, and that temporary flight restrictions were in place in some areas. 📹editor: @hallieyearwood_

What do Dogecoin and the Department of Government Efficiency have in common? Elon Musk, of course. This new government committee led by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy is being tasked with cutting the federal budget. One thing they’re hoping to do is to cut costs as quickly as possible, and part of that is headcount—so firing a lot of people who currently work in the federal government and reducing the number of government agencies. This week, the #UncannyValley team examines the Silicon Valley mindset behind it: swap.fm/l/wired-uv-facebook

The list of things that robot vacuums can do right now continues to grow. They can make an accurate map of your home so they don’t bump into things. They can empty themselves and recharge themselves. They can reach under your couch to clean up crud. Many have dual mopping-vacuuming functionalities to wipe up your dog’s muddy footprints. One thing most robot vacuums cannot currently do is pick stuff up off your floor. Running a robot vacuum can save you a lot of time and energy, but it often requires spending 10 to 20 minutes frantically running around trying to defuse robovac booby traps by moving or picking up cables, shoelaces, and stray hair ties. This year, Roborock won the race to launch a commercial robot vacuum that has an extendable arm that can pick up small bits of clutter in its way, thus becoming the robot butler of your dreams. We take a look. Tap the 🔗 in bio to read more. 📹 : @yelljo31
