The Apple Smart Glasses Leak That Stopped Feeling Like Vaporware

Apple Glasses AI Generated Image

5 Watches Where the Entire Dial Glows in the Dark

5 Best Full-Lume Watches with Glow in the Dark Dial

Lume hit watches in the early 1900s when radium dial paint let pilots and soldiers read the time in the dark. The shine came with a price, since radium turned out to be radioactive, so brands shifted to tritium-based paint starting in the 1960s before settling on strontium-aluminate-based Super-LumiNova in the 1990s. That switch opened

The ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 Are About to Become Pocketable

C64 Handheld Console Pack

The ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 were desktop machines. Boxy slabs with chunky keys, parked on kitchen tables, hooked up to portable TVs. So watching Hyper Mega Tech announce pocketable, clamshell versions of both feels a little like seeing your old school photo on a smartwatch. Nostalgic, slightly absurd, and somehow exactly right. Price: From
