Obsbot’s new gimbal webcam doesn’t justify its $350 price

Webcam company Obsbot recently launched two new gimbal-equipped webcams, the $349 Tiny 3 and the $199 Tiny 3 Lite. It claims that the priciest model is the smallest pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) 4K webcam ever made, weighing 63 grams. Ironically, the Tiny 3 Lite is heavier and bigger. I’ve been testing the Tiny 3 for […]

Trusting your phone to Abxylute’s mobile controller requires a big leap of faith

As a retro gaming fan, I was thrilled when Apple opened its App Store to emulators in 2024, but I’ve yet to find a controller that makes me want to fully embrace retro gaming on my phone. Clamp-on controllers like the Backbone Pro are a bit too bulky, and I don’t want to prop my […]

Gemini with Personal Intelligence is awfully familiar

By lots of metrics, Gemini is winning. It has raced ahead of OpenAI, become scarily good at creating convincing imagery, and even won Apple’s business. So last week’s news that it was enabling something called Personal Intelligence felt like a victory lap. Personal Intelligence allows Gemini to reference past conversations and access your data in […]

Fear and blogging (and prerelease laptop testing) in Las Vegas

At CES, I did what you’re not supposed to do: I brought a pre-production laptop to use as my primary workhorse during a hectic event. The unproven rifle in question is the new Arm-based Asus Zenbook A16. It’s a 16-inch laptop that weighs less than a 13-inch MacBook Air and comes with a high-end Snapdragon […]

Kodak’s collectible Charmera is a terrible camera I somehow don’t hate

Like trading cards, Lego figures, and even the coveted Labubu, you don’t know exactly what your Kodak Charmera camera is going to look like until you open the box. The anticipation and a $30 price tag helped the collectible camera sell out quickly and become nearly impossible to find over the holidays after its debut […]

Google’s AI Inbox could be a glimpse of Gmail’s future

This week, Google announced a new AI Inbox view for Gmail that replaces the traditional list of emails with an AI-generated list of to-dos and topics to track based on what’s in your inbox. It’s not widely available yet, but I have access, and in the few hours I’ve spent messing around with it, I […]

L’Oréal’s latest flat iron uses infrared light to make hair styling much faster

Hair gadgets have become increasingly popular over the last decade. Hair dryers, curlers, steamers – you name it, there’s probably a TikTokker shilling for the latest hair gadget that will totally revolutionize a hair routine. Even so, I was excited to get a demo of L’Oréal’s Light Straight at CES 2026. It’s an extension of […]

L’Oréal’s new LED face masks address all my issues with this category

I hate when friends and family ask me which LED face mask to buy. That’s because LED face masks are another prime example of the wild wellness west. There’s compelling science behind using red and infrared light therapy to address skin concerns, particularly wrinkles. However, wellness influencers have taken that concept and absolutely ran away […]
