From coop to attic, Home Assistant’s new Z-Wave antenna helped me connect devices in the furthest corners of my domain.
You get a window. And you get a window. And you get a window.
Workout Buddy is Apple’s foray into fitness AI, but the real stars of watchOS 26 are Wrist Flick and Smart Stack.
Oh, I had such high hopes for the Piaggio G1T4-M1N1 (“Gita Mini”). An officially licensed Star Wars bot that follows you around, dodging pedestrians while carrying 20 pounds of cargo and playing The Imperial March on its party speaker? Heck yes. But a single walk to the park showed me that this $2,875 bot doesn’t have enough smarts. (I couldn’t fit all its fails into one video!)
Alexa Plus’ new agentic AI capabilities are ambitious and show promise, but too often, I had to finish the job myself.
Now I’m going to bleach my soul and get myself to a nunnery.
Remember when I told you about the Android handheld that’s kinda like a Nintendo Switch that transforms into a Nintendo DS? I got an exclusive early look at a Sugar 1 prototype, running some of my own dual-screen and single-screen Nintendo games on it!
It’s crowdfunding on Indiegogo on Monday, July 21st; we don’t have final pricing yet, but it’ll be north of $600.

When I went hunting for working third-party Nintendo Switch 2 docks, I didn’t expect to find a gadget like this!
The AverMedia GC313Pro ain’t cheap at $120-$130, but how many USB-C charging bricks have this many functions? (There’s also a $80-$90 model if you don’t need video capture.) Here’s hoping Nintendo doesn’t lock it out with future Switch 2 updates. Note: If you buy something from our links, we might get affiliate revenue.
Gemini’s on the wrist, there’s a new Antioxidant Index, and a slightly updated Ultra, too.
Not saying I’d buy, as my fav feature went MIA, but I’d love it as a gift! The $129 Genki Moonbase has three mesmerizing AC outlets (US, EU, UK or AU) and four USB-C charge ports. Those top out at 140W, 100W, 30W and 30W, but you don’t lose too many watts with four gadgets plugged. My only disappointment is the light-up Moonlink cables no longer help you find ports in the dark. Genki says it removed that promise early on.
Luxury automaker Aston Martin is the first OEM to offer support for Apple’s enhanced phone mirroring system, so we hopped in a DBX707 to give the new software a test drive.
I asked AI for insight into my health data. It gave me a regurgitated book report.
But it’s not for the faint of heart.
My Picun F8 Pros are not as good as the AirPods Max. But they’re much cheaper — and constantly on sale.
The Quest 3S Xbox Edition is a custom colorway VR headset bundled with an Xbox controller.
First, The Browser Company tried to overhaul the web browser. Now it aims to change the way we think about computers.
A test ride of its first new electric bikes since bankruptcy shows lots of promise.
Apple won’t give us a Mac-powered tablet. But it may have finally done the next best thing.
Some quality time with Nintendo’s handheld shows a pleasant upgrade, as opposed to a dramatic next-gen shift.
I deepfaked my dead parents and kissed Edward Cullen.
There’s a native app for SteamOS now, and it’s pretty great.
