    Enjoy this deep dive on a $2,000, 30-year-old digital camera you’ve probably never heard of.

    Even photographers who were around during the advent of digital photography may not be familiar with the EPix Pro that James Warner recently tested. It’s an obscure prosumer camera that debuted in 1996 with advanced features like a beam splitter for its optical viewfinder, support for C-Mount lenses, and both encryption and watermarking capabilities baked in.

    This discreet wallet tracker is designed to look like your credit cards.

    A wallet tracker isn’t much good if a pickpocket immediately spots and discards it. So Statik’s $29.99 SmartCard Incognito is camouflaged to look like a credit card with a fake chip and magnetic strip. It’s compatible with Apple and Google’s tracking networks and its wirelessly-charged battery is good for up to 11 months.

    This desktop Spotify alternative is less RAM hungry and supports Winamp skins.

    If you’re tired of the Spotify desktop app gobbling up a big chunk of your computer’s RAM, Spotifast for Linux, macOS, and Windows takes a leaner approach and typically needs just 100 to 250MB. A Spotify Premium account is required to actually stream music instead of just browsing, and if you need another reason to switch, Spotifast includes a Mini Player that supports Winamp 2 skins.
