The New WiCi One Wireless Local GPU Lets You Run a Private Local AI Assistant/Agent with Ease

Modern AI is advancing in leaps and bounds, but like many people, I worry about how much data you give up when creating a truly useful AI Assistant or Agent for personal use. I haven’t fully taken the plunge and integrated any of the popular AI services with my personal email, banking accounts, or medical data so far. One thing might change that soon, though: the upcoming WiCi One Wireless Local GPU. This new “wireless GPU” offers 3 modes: native GPU (wireless), API integration, and SDK integration.



MOVA LiDAX Ultra 2000 AWD Robotic Lawn Mower Review

When it comes to robotic mowers, I’m late to the party. I only reviewed my first one (the Navimow i2) a few months ago. That mower made me a huge fan of robot mowers, and since I live on 12 acres, I figured I’d review another one. Today, we’re putting the MOVA LiDAX Ultra 2000 AWD Robotic Lawn Mower to the test to see if it can handle my somewhat rugged/rustic lawn.


GUNNAR Tomb Raider Croft Glasses Review: Prescription Sunglasses That Finally Made Me Ditch the Clip-Ons

Eyeglasses can be such a personal thing. I’ve worn glasses all of my life, and over the years, my sunglasses have always been clip-ons. Yeah, I can go with transitions, but they darken way faster than they lighten. That bugs me.

When I was offered the chance to review the new GUNNAR Tomb Raider Croft sunglasses, their retro 1930s field style intrigued me. Prescription? Yes. Progressives? Yes. Better than clip-ons? Let’s find out.  


Velotric GoMad Compact Cargo Ebike Review: If a Luxury Compact SUV Were a Bike

The rapidly expanding world of electric cargo bikes has a welcome new arrival: the Velotric GoMad Compact Cargo Ebike. Those of us that have been riding electric cargo bikes for years know how incredibly versatile they are. Indeed, we would still be a two-car household if I hadn’t discovered my first cargo bike in 2023 (the excellent Velotric Packer 1 cargo e-bike). I loved that bike but ended up switching a few times over the years due to garage space limitations (too many other e-bike reviews) and the fact that the Packer 1 was a bit large for our one-child…


VPN: Verified Probably Not Necessary, but Here’s When It Actually Is

VPNs. They used to be something people talked about at work (and maybe university), and now they’re a consumer service hawked by pretty much every influencer on the Internet today. What are they? Do you need one? Are they worth adding yet another monthly subscription to your budget? This is a difficult subject to discuss without treading dangerously close to what some consider unsavory activity…but it’s just part of an academic look at VPNs and what utility they have, if any, for end users. So note: nothing in this article comments on the merits of the activities mentioned.
