The taint bandaid has evolved into the taint zapper

It took six years, FDA clearance, and some rabbits, but this CES health wearable didn’t end up as vaporware.

Now there’s really no excuse for leaving the refrigerator door open.

As Jen Tuohy demonstrates, Samsung’s new Family Hub lineup can use voice control to close the refrigerator door, in addition to a slew of other AI-enabled features.

Astro Car.

Afeela cars will get themes featuring Sony franchises like Gran Turismo and Astro Bot, including custom wallpapers and e-motor sounds. Driving with the delightful sounds of Astro Bot does feel like it could be fun.

Last month, Sony Honda Mobility also announced that you’ll be able to stream PlayStation games to your Afeela via Remote Play.

The Clicks keyboard really clicks into place.

Can the magnets inside the Clicks Power Keyboard support the full weight of a Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold? Yes, as it turns out. And while you can attach it to the back and use it handheld with the phone unfolded, you’ll probably do best to prop up the phone on a kickstand and just type over Bluetooth. But let the record show that I tried it.

I Afeela good.

Sorry, had to get the first Afeela pun out of the way ahead of the CES 2026 Sony Honda Mobility press conference. The shows kicks off at 8PM ET / 5PM PT, and you can watch it on YouTube.

The Asus ROG G1000 takes RGB lighting to a new level with a holographic case.

Asus’ latest gaming PC, unveiled at CES today, glimmers with the new ROG AniMe Holo, a full-color holographic display that projects 340 x 340 animated images on the PC’s chassis.

It also boasts top-tier components, including up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090, AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, and 64GB of DDR5 RAM.

Eve’s first smart thermostat for the US supports Matter-over-Thread.

In addition, the Eve Thermostat works without an internet connection and doesn’t require any sort of additional subscription — something that is depressingly rare these days. Otherwise, it offers all the usual stuff you’d expect, including app and voice control, automations, and scheduling, for $129.95.

Is that more of a millennial gray or a sad beige?

Behold, the taint bandaid in all its glory.

This is Mor, a wearable for men suffering from premature ejaculation. It zaps the perineum — or the taint — to help you delay orgasm or intensify it. I’ve been covering this device for six years, so enjoy this video, and stay tuned for my full hands-on. (Update: The hands-on is now available right here.)

XPS is back, but Dell Pros are still here to stay.

Dell reversed course on its confusing naming scheme from 2025, but some of it’s intact — with new tweaks. The returning XPS laptops are still joined by entry-level vanilla “Dell” models. Enterprise-focused Dell Pro laptops are now topped by Dell Pro Precision models instead of the Apple-y sounding Pro Max.

Perfect? No. Better? Much.
