You don’t have to spend more than $50 on a great USB-C dock for your Switch 2

Nintendo seemingly designed its latest console to be a mystery for third-party accessory makers. With the Switch 2, the company changed the wireless protocol for connecting controllers to the new system, as well as how it outputs video over USB-C, making it clear at launch that every third-party manufacturer needed to start over from scratch. […]

The only USB-C AA battery I’d buy for myself is the Zepath 3600

Last September, a company named Lumafield scanned 1,000 cylindrical lithium-ion batteries to shine a light on the hidden risks of cheaping out. At roughly the same time, I found myself testing two awesome new kinds of AA battery that recharge using USB-C cables. It gave me an idea. Could we find the very best USB-C […]

Insta360’s Snap is a tiny magnetic phone screen for taking rear-camera selfies

Insta360 just announced the Snap, a new smartphone accessory designed to improve the quality of your selfies. It works like a digital mirror magnetically attached to the back of your Android or iOS smartphone so you can preview and properly frame shots using its more capable rear cameras, while touchscreen functionality lets you control camera […]

I wish this selfie phone case was better for selfies

The Selfix phone case is a classic example of a great idea in theory that falls apart in practice. It’s a case for the iPhone 17 Pro with a circular screen on the back. It mirrors the middle of your main phone screen, making it easier to frame up selfies using your phone’s higher-quality rear […]

I let Gemini in Google Maps plan my day and it went surprisingly well

You may be familiar with Gemini as the thing that’s in every Google service you use – whether you want it or not. While it’s been a constant, sometimes unwelcome presence in Gmail for at least the past year, it’s a relatively new addition to Maps. And you know what? It’s kind of great. To […]

Is the Slate Truck too minimal for its own good?

The first thing you notice about the Slate Truck is its size. It’s small, surprisingly so. In a country where trucks often come with their own zip code, Slate’s pickup is refreshingly puny, measuring 174.6 inches long, 70.6 inches wide, and 69.3 inches tall, with a curb weight of approximately 3,602 pounds (1,634kg). As a […]

Anker’s Nebula P1 projector is the portable sound king

The Soundcore Nebula P1 from Anker isn’t the most portable Google TV projector I’ve ever reviewed, nor is it the brightest. It doesn’t even have a built-in battery. Instead it’s a decent video device that focuses on sound. The Nebula P1’s standout feature is a pair of speakers that detach to create true left- and […]

This even smaller credit card-sized e-reader has one tragic flaw

There’s a new smallest e-reader in my life. The Xteink X3 is even smaller and thinner than Xteink’s X4 while also improving on the X4 with refined (but still far from great) software, simplified buttons, and an improved magnetic mount on the back. It’s a better compact e-reader than the X4 if extreme portability is […]

I tested a living room full of cheap Ikea speakers against Sonos and Bose

Ikea’s $10 Kallsup Bluetooth speaker is fun and colorful and sounds better than its price suggests. It’s not mind-blowing (it is a $10 speaker, after all), and there are no features to speak of, other than the ability to connect up to 100 of them together, but at that price, I don’t really care. They’re […]

The Korg Handytraxx Play finally got me learning to scratch

About 20 years ago, I bought a turntable with the idea that it would be a staple of my music-making setup. I dreamed of learning to scratch and digging through dollar bin vinyl for samples. Instead, it just got hooked up to a stereo. But a few months ago, I got my hands on the […]
