Some of us freshly anointed moms and dads pooled together our top tech picks that make early days with baby just a touch easier (or more fun and nerdy).
Dry Studio’s new mechanical keyboard is much more domesticated than its supercar-inspired one. The Petbrick 65 is a $239 small-format wireless board that comes in two color options: calico and “odd-eye” (like a black cat with heterochromia).
Each color includes a magnetic fluffy surround, so you can pet your cat-like board — with more colors coming later.
PetaPixel’s Chris and Jordan have another installment in their year-end YouTube tradition — ranking the best and worst cameras and lenses of the year amidst an array of silly drinking games.
I’m willing to forgive them for not naming the Pentax 17 Best Camera, but only because Chris’s dog makes an adorable cameo.
Sharge has a knack for see-through power banks and quirky accessories, and it’s apparently releasing a 65W GaN charger that looks like a little turntable.
Notebookcheck found the Chinese-language listing for the translucent charger, with a built-in retractable USB-C cable and the words “Get your groove on” emblazoned on its spinning reel. 65W GaN chargers are commonplace today, but this one seems fun and fidgety.
Gifting in this economy? Totally doable. We’ve found scores of great budget-friendly gift ideas that can help you load up for the holidays.
A quick swipe through TikTok shows the popularity of point-and-shoots with The Youths, and camera companies are catching on. Panasonic recently announced the new $499.99 ZS99, a refresh of its ZS80 from 2019, adding USB-C and vertical video support while removing the EVF.
The $849.99 (with a lens) G97 mirrorless camera is also launching alongside it. Both modest upgrades are due in February.
A touch more speed and just a tiny bit more convenience.
The folks over at MacRumors have stumbled onto leaked mentions of M4 MacBook Airs in the macOS Sequoia 15.2 update.
This may point to new MacBook Airs coming soon, which aligns with earlier rumors that new 13- and 15-inch models with M4 processors are expected in early 2025.
There’s still some time to save on a wide range of Verge-approved goods, including streaming services, iPads, and ebook readers.
