Unfortunately, most of us will be in the group of people who are going to miss out on space exploration. We just happened to be born a few generations too early for it. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy space in all its resplendent glory, especially with the kind of optical equipment we currently…
Just a couple months ago, Onyx introduced a phone-sized e-reader, allowing you to read books on an e-paper tablet that fits conveniently in your pants pocket. It’s great, making for the most convenient way to keep a paper-like e-reader on hand. This time around, they’re back to doing what they do best, which is large…
Standard routers are great if you’re willing to stay in areas of the house where the signal is strong. However, if you want to be able to do work on your laptop, record on TikTok, or play competitive multiplayer games anywhere you want in the house, there’s a good chance a regular router will fail…

That’s why it’s become a popular design for hobby robots that you can program to do all sorts of things. The XGO 2 takes the classic quadruped design and adds a fifth…

While it is quite the luxurious vehicle, it’s not quite as refined as the Range Rover for regular city driving. With the new Land Rover Defender Octa, that all changes. Billed as “the most dynamically…
It’s been many years since Boston Dynamics first introduced their creepy-looking dog robot to the world at large and it’s been a fascinating run, with Spot eventually going on sale to the general public three years ago. Being able to buy one of Boston Dynamic’s robodogs, however, came with one stipulation: it can’t be used…

That’s…
Storing large files in the cloud is a great way to keep a big trove of data within reach without having to carry a bunch of external drives all the time. Problem is, it’s far from the safest way to store sensitive and proprietary files, since you’re completely relying on a third-party company that operates…
Range hoods do a great job of removing smoke, odors, and oil residue in the kitchen. Problem is, those things are huge, all while requiring ductwork and electrical work often best handled by professionals. Suffice to say, putting one in isn’t convenient. That’s why we’re stoked any time we see portable range hood solutions like…
