Kids and tablets seem to go hand-in-hand these days. It’s not surprising, given how versatile modern tablets are, giving kids a device they can use for entertainment, communication, and education alike. Having their own tablet can also give children a sense of independence and autonomy, as it affords them free rein to explore the digital…
Once the plans and blueprints for a construction project are approved, it’s time to start the layout process, which involves interpreting the plans and marking their locations in the real-world. As in, you set down marks to indicate where a wall is supposed to go, where a staircase is supposed to run, and where all…
Your commuter ebike is great, allowing you to cover most short trips around the city without having to deal with the hassles of a big car. That, however, doesn’t change the fact that bicycles aren’t the safest way to commute on the same urban roads where fast cars and big trucks ply their route, so…
We like the idea behind the Freewrite Smart Typewriter, a distraction-free dedicated writing machine that first came out in 2016. From the mechanical keys and the small screen to the tactile controls, it’s something people who spend copious amounts of time writing will probably appreciate. Problem is, it’s thick as heck, so much so that…
Dads aren’t the easiest people to get presents for. They consider themselves grown men, after all, so when they want something, they usually get it themselves. That’s why it’s not unusual to hear your dad, or someone else’s dad, say they don’t want anything for the holidays. While that may be true to an extent,…

There are three safe ways to thaw frozen foods straight out of the freezer: you can put them in the fridge, immerse them in cold water, or use the defrost setting in the microwave. Using the microwave is easily the fastest and most convenient of those options. However, it can also end up starting the…
Garmin is no stranger to dive computers. They’ve made a number of them clad in a sports watch form factor over the last few years. With the Garmin Descent X50i, though, the outfit moves on to a bigger, more traditional dive computer form factor. While it no longer looks like a GPS sports watch, the…
At some point, we imagine e-paper displays will take the place of LCDs in tablets, phones, and other portable devices. They’re just way too good at extending a device’s battery life. However, that won’t be mainstream until e-paper becomes good enough to contend with LCD panels in frame rate and color reproduction. In the meantime,…
While foldable phones have grown in popularity over the last few years, we haven’t seen the form factor embraced the same way when it comes to tablets and laptops. Lenovo is one of the companies that actually tried in that regard, releasing a foldable laptop back in 2020. This year, they’re doubling down on the…
