I tried Sharge’s retractable charger + battery that looks like a Braun turntable.

I said the Sharge Retractable 3-in-1 “might be the coolest looking pocket charger I’ve ever seen” and promised to find out. But while it’s definitely cool, I’m not so sure about the “pocket” part! For $45, do you gravitate towards Sharge’s unique design, or the slimmer Anker one?

Fitbit’s AI health coach is the first I might actually be interested in

It’s a complete overhaul of the Fitbit app, centered around the concept of adjustable, conversational coaching.

Today I’m toying with a drone that makes flying easy and filming even easier.

There’s lots we don’t know about Antigravity, the first drone from Insta360. But after my first flights, I think it could change what we expect out of drones. Want a look at some (prototype! compressed!) 360-degree footage on YouTube? I uploaded this interactive sample! Set resolution to 4K first.

From coop to attic, Home Assistant’s new Z-Wave antenna helped me connect devices in the furthest corners of my domain.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is stuck in a familiar orbit

I’m at peace with the squircle. Gemini is promising. But the sum of the parts doesn’t add up to a must-have upgrade.
