Hands-free unlocking is the future of smart locks. The best smart home tech removes friction, and having your door unlock for you as you walk up is as frictionless as it gets - no passcodes to remember, no need to have a free hand to wave, press, or poke at the lock. One way to […]
The Sony Bravia 9 II is the most anticipated new TV in years. It's an amazing RGB LED TV. I watched Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves on the new Bravia with my son, who has been getting into the roleplaying game but had never seen the movie. The landscapes of Faerûn looked natural and […]
Balmuda has engineered a remarkably pleasant breeze with its new NatureWind Studio, but is it worth hundreds more than its competition?
Cheater, I'd grumble between huffs as yet another e-bike rider casually skittered past me on a steep ascent. It's this purist attitude that, for years, has left me blind to one simple fact: electric mountain bikes are fun! My attitude adjustment came a few weeks ago, the very first time I rode an Amflow PX […]
Last year, Microsoft's 13-inch Surface Laptop quickly became one of my favorite thin-and-light Windows notebooks. At $900, it was easy to recommend to anyone wanting MacBook Air-like build quality and battery life on Windows - I even convinced my sister to buy one on sale. But that was last year. This year, thanks to RAMageddon, […]
Great for indie darlings, but Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo remain kings of TV gaming.
The Japanese Microwave measures food temperature directly, and stops cooking when food’s hot. It’s kinda terrific.
This remarkably vivid home projector has deep inky blacks, without a five-figure price tag.
Projectors are adopting RGB backlighting, the hottest tech from the world of TVs. This large but vivid projector is a great option for summer movie nights.
Both 8BitDo and GameSir announced tiny gamepads designed to turn smartphones into Game Boy-inspired handhelds at CES 2026. GameSir released its Pocket Taco months ago, but the longer wait for 8BitDo's FlipPad has been well worth it. While the Pocket Taco may be a better fit for some players and devices, the FlipPad is a […]
XGIMI's Eflin Flip 4K is a portable, stylish projector that provides outstanding image quality at a great price.
But with great power comes a great price.
When I first told you about the "OLED Xbox Ally X of my dreams," I had to curb my enthusiasm a bit. That's partly because I hadn't yet tried the handheld myself, and partly because Asus was only planning to sell it bundled with a pair of expensive AR glasses! I'm happy to say both […]
This isn't a wish for the internet to stop — just a moment to imagine what it'd mean to breathe without it. Not everyone, but a huge percentage of the world now relies heavily on the internet. What if it were unavoidably shut down for just 24 hours? How long would those hours actually feel — and how much would they reshape our daily routines? I see the irony everywhere already. The moment a page hangs, I instinctively dial a USSD code to check my data balance. I know someone who pings google.com just to see if he's still connected — using the internet to check whether the internet is still there. The first hour would probably be spent staring at the network icon, refreshing pages, waiting for life to resume. That's when we'd notice how much of the day quietly depends on the cloud: deliveries stall, payments freeze, navigation disappears, businesses pause. Millions would discover just how many invisible gears keep everyday life moving. Then the smaller shifts. Looking at the sky to guess the weather instead of opening an app. Realizing the only people who "exist" are the ones actually in front of you. Sitting in a room where the loudest sound is the silence of the feed. Maybe one day, staying offline will be a skill of its own. Have we gotten so used to consulting the network before taking a step that we've stopped trusting our own judgment? Perhaps 24 hours of silence wouldn't just be an outage. It would be a reminder — that before the cloud, there was memory. Before search engines, there was curiosity. Before notifications, there was presence. And before constant connection, we still knew how to walk on our own. If you asked me, What cloud or internet service would you miss most for a day? For me, I don't remember the last time I went 48 hours without Gemini.
The RingConn 3 actually looks like real jewelry, not a wearable -- but its fitness tracking and headache detection features are disappointing.
It’s not the upgrade Ring 4 owners have been waiting for, but it’s easily the best smart ring Oura has ever made.
Siri has been on the Apple Watch since day one, though I'm usually hard-pressed to find people who actually make good use of it. It's kind of just… been there - mostly as a way to set timers when my hands are full. But after playing around with the watchOS 27 developer beta, I get […]
iOS 27 escaped the developer world today with the launch of the first public beta. I've been testing the new operating system since early June, looking for quirks and seeing if it can live up to the hype Apple promised in the keynote. This year's iOS upgrades are what one might call a Snow Leopard […]
Swimming against the iGarden Swim Jet X Pro 10’s artificial current is a real workout, even if it doesn’t quite replace a full-size lap pool.
If you're reading an Oura Ring 5 review at The Verge, you likely fall into one of two camps: newcomers looking for a smartwatch alternative, or Oura users pondering an upgrade. In the case of the former, this is a great casual health tracker and the best smart ring on the market - but not […]
