Cockroaches will learn to fear my SwitchBot Bot Rechargeable

A little robotic switch-flipper has become my sidekick in combating cockroaches. Before I got the SwitchBot Bot Rechargeable, I’d tiptoe through the dark every morning, hoping I wouldn’t step on one of those terrible bugs scurrying around as I made my way to the light switch across the room. Now I’m ready for battle before […]

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. That lets owners tap into SpaceX’s constellation of low Earth orbit Starlink satellites to track their pets anywhere in the US. But it […]

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, […]

The Sourdough Sidekick automates the boring bit of baking

Baking sourdough bread is inherently old-fashioned, relying on natural fermentation and wild yeast instead of the simple, predictable commercial stuff. So it might sound anathema to bring a gadget into the mix. The trick to the Sourdough Sidekick – backed and branded by King Arthur flour – is that it promises to automate the boring […]

Vizio accidentally made the best dumb TV on the market

When I first started testing Vizio’s 65-inch Mini LED Quantum TV, I thought the big story was that Vizio was back and that it had a quantum-dot TV for under $398 – the cheapest on the market. Vizio’s been pretty quiet since it was acquired by Walmart in 2024, so putting out a TV with […]

Hey number pad lovers, this is a keyboard we can finally agree on

I know a vocal group of people who swear by the number pad on their keyboard. And yet, for years I haven’t cared about using one – until I put my hands on the Epomaker RT98. It’s a mechanical keyboard with a charming retro aesthetic, a fun CRT-like screen, VIA compatibility, a nice typing feel, […]

Google built a great smart speaker, but Gemini isn’t ready for it

Smart speakers have spent the past few years searching for a compelling second act. Beyond music, timers, and controlling your lights, they’ve struggled to justify taking up space on the kitchen counter. AI promised to change that. Amazon debuted its new hardware powered by a revamped Alexa last fall, and now it’s finally Google’s turn. […]

The cube was a lie: up close with our Dbrand Companion Cube before it gets destroyed

Dbrand is the company that shipped a product that told Nintendo’s legal team to “go fuck yourself,” and the company that had a second set of lawyer-dodging PS5 plates ready when Sony threatened to sue over the originals. But on June 29th, the company finally ate some serious humble pie, canceling its Portal-themed Companion Cube […]
