Knife companies love putting “heritage” on the box. They’ll print “since 19-whatever” on the label, change everything about the blade inside, and hope you don’t notice. The outdoor market keeps chasing wild new shapes and fancy steels when some of the best blade designs were sorted out a hundred years ago. Grab an original Old […]

NEWS – Google launched the Pixel 10a today, and if you were hoping for a full redesign of the A-series, this isn’t it. The $499 starting price hasn’t moved. Most of the spec sheet reads like a copy-paste from the 9a. What Google did change sits in two spots that actually matter when you’re living

Last September, I reviewed the Soundpeats H3 hybrid earbuds. What I said at the beginning of the review bears repeating: Reviewing earbuds (earphones, in-ear monitors, etc.) today is both good and bad news. The good news is that it’s almost impossible to buy a terrible pair of earbuds. Unless you bought a $15 pair at

NEWS – Kitchen layouts have quietly dictated appliance choices for decades, and the tradeoff has always felt non-negotiable. You measure the gap, pick the fridge that fits, and accept that the doors won’t swing all the way open if a wall sits too close. Samsung’s latest Bespoke lineup, unveiled at KBIS 2026 alongside its broader

NEWS – Audi hasn’t turned a single lap in Formula 1 yet, and the team is already selling you something. Not a car. Not a ticket. A hoodie. But before you scroll past another “new F1 merch drop” headline, there’s a layer to this collection that the fashion outlets covering it have completely ignored: the

ARTICLE – Nobody buried the Virtual Boy. Nintendo’s red-and-black tabletop console from 1995 simply vanished on its own, barely lasting twelve months before becoming the company’s most talked-about hardware misfire. Three decades of distance made it look like Nintendo preferred the whole chapter stayed forgotten. Price: $24.99, $99.99 Where to Buy: Nintendo That silence broke

We’ve been trained to expect trade-offs from thin wearables. Slim the case down and something gets cut: battery life shrinks, sensor arrays thin out, GPS accuracy drops to single-band. It’s the unspoken design rule of the smartwatch world, and most brands have followed it so consistently that buyers stopped questioning it. The OPPO Watch S

Somewhere along the way, tiny cameras disguised as other objects became a legitimate product category, and the Kodak Charmera kicked it off last year. Now Japanese brand Opt! has entered with something even more committed to the bit: the OPT100 Neo Film, a tiny digital camera shaped exactly like a canister of 35mm film. It’s

Most people assume the world’s most expensive headphones exist to push sound quality past every known limit. That belief falls apart above $100,000. Past that line, you’re not paying for better drivers or sharper audio. You’re paying for the idea that headphones belong in a velvet-lined jewelry case. Price: $115,000-$135,000 Where to Buy: Loewe Loewe

NEWS – Most laptop backpacks treat weight as an afterthought. The bag protects your gear, handles rain, organizes your cables, and it does all of that somewhere between 2.5 and 3.5 pounds before you’ve packed a single thing inside. WaterField Designs took a different approach with the Trigo Laptop Backpack, a $349 commuter pack handcrafted

ARTICLE – We’ve gotten used to the idea that every gadget should do more than one thing to earn space in a bag. Multitools and earbuds that double as health monitors prove the concept works when the execution is solid. Other times, the result falls flat. Ugreen’s CES 2026 announcement sits right in that tension.

NEWS – Most people don’t think about kitchen appliances until something breaks. Fridges hum. Ovens heat. That’s the gap Samsung is going after with its AI-first strategy, and it’s a well-timed bet on changing habits before they’ve fully taken shape. The pitch isn’t repairs or quick upgrades: it’s that a connected kitchen solves problems you

Most knife owners treat blade laws like weather: something you check before you leave, then hope for the best. Pack a locking folder for a weekend in London, feel the weight of it settle in your jacket pocket, and you’ve already miscalculated. Carry a one-handed locking folder through Germany and you’re technically breaking the law,

ARTICLE – The smartphone industry spent the last decade telling gamers that glass is good enough. Tap the screen, swipe the virtual joystick zone, clip on a Bluetooth controller when things get serious. Ayaneo, a company that’s built its name on compact Android gaming handhelds, just challenged that assumption directly. The Ayaneo Pocket Play is

REVIEW – You know those moments. The moments that someone cuts you off, or speeds past you, or is tailing you, or just driving like a maniac.

Every household runs on shared gear that nobody deliberately chose. Dead flashlight in the kitchen drawer, dusty multitool next to the tape, tangled cables pooled in a bowl on the counter. Most of that gear arrived one piece at a time, bought for whoever needed it that day, then absorbed into the house. Nobody audited

Your phone doesn’t belong on your nightstand. Hatch has been making that argument since its first Restore, and the Restore 3 at $169.99 is the sharpest execution of that philosophy yet.
