First look: Fi Ultra Starlink pet tracker

Fi Ultra is the first Starlink-enabled pet tracker you can buy. It expands on GPS and LTE trackers, adding automatic failover to T-Mobile’s T-Satellite-branded direct-to-cell service when venturing into cellular dead zones.

The Steam Machine fits my TV, my desk, and my life

For the last couple weeks, I’ve been in an extremely lucky position: I’ve been spending a lot of time playing games on Valve’s Steam Machine. We gave the Steam Machine a 6, and I don’t disagree with my colleague Sean Hollister’s review. But even though I already own a PS5 and an Xbox Series X, […]

For the past three years, “Meta” and “Ray-Ban” have been synonymous in the smart glasses space. Not anymore. Yesterday, I slipped on several pairs of Meta Glasses – no Ray-Bans – in three different styles and seven colors.

I’m not giving up my Steam Deck for MSI’s new Claw

This is not a review of the MSI Claw 8 EX AI Plus, the first gaming handheld available with Intel’s new Arc G3 Extreme handheld gaming chip. Now that my colleague Sean Hollister is done reviewing the Steam Machine, I’ll let him go deep on the new Claw at some point in the future. This […]
