While we’re partial to SquareOff as far as smart chessboards are concerned, we do appreciate ChessUp’s training features that show the available move options for every piece you touch, complete with color coding to let you know whether it’s a good move or bad move. The Bryght Labs ChessUp 2 takes that original chessboard and…
There was a time when you needed a big flashlight if you wanted a lot of light. That’s no longer the case, with modern LED flashlights offering impressive brightness and throw even at smaller form factors. Gone are the days when good torches were around the size of a miniature baseball bat, with pocket flashlights…
Portable coffee makers are great, as they let you enjoy a proper cup while enjoying the outdoors. Problem is, they still require quite a fair amount of gear, especially if you plan to ground your beans fresh before brewing.

It’s not the most powerful drone in DJI’s range. However, the Mini Pro line does manage to cram a good load of features, while coming in at a size that allows it to tip the scales at under 250g, exempting it from registration with the FAA and making it just a tad more convenient to…
The automotive industry isn’t exactly easy to predict. Just a few years ago, every automaker was promising to go full electric within a decade or less. Now, you have many of those same companies backing away from electrification, as recent years have shown that neither the market nor the infrastructure are all that ready to…
After 15 years, Amazon is finally letting you jot down notes on your Kindle. That’s right, the outfit’s newest E-ink device, the Amazon Kindle Scribe, comes with a stylus that lets you scribble notes onto the reader, essentially turning it into a reading and writing device. Of course, this isn’t the first e-paper device to…
Hydrow makes some of the best rowing machines in the market with the Pro Rower and the compact Wave. Problem is, both of them require a monthly subscription, much like many contemporary home gym equipment. If you like their rowing machines, but don’t really care for the on-demand classes (or the recurring costs that go…
