Good for side sleepers but ANC kills battery life.
a double-sided magnetic ring grip and stand I don’t have to remove when I use MagSafe car mounts. Or those double magnet rings I introduced you to before, which now serve as stands in my house. It’s from Syncwire, and it ranges from $17-$25 on Amazon. Sound on if you want to hear the satisfying ratcheting swivel!
The new $800 Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses have a screen that can show directions, pictures, translations, and more.

Remember when I upgraded a laptop’s entire GPU in just three minutes and filmed it for you? It wasn’t the only first I filmed that day! Here’s my Today I’m Toying With video hands-on with Framework’s industry-first standards-based 240W USB-C PD charging system. Look ma: no barrel jacks!
