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.
I don’t want to read a manual before making breakfast. I want to put bread in the toaster, choose a setting, and get on with my morning. The Keenstone 2 Slice Toaster looked simple enough to try without instructions, so I unboxed it and put it straight to work with two slices of homemade bread.
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.
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. I’ve never considered prescription sunglasses because my insurance wouldn’t give me a discount, and I have progressive lenses, which can be a major financial roadblock. 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.
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…
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.
Buying a new iPhone 18 Pro is the easy part. Deciding how much of that expensive glass and metal you’re willing to leave exposed is where the accessories start multiplying. Nomad has rolled out a lineup of iPhone 18 Pro cases and screen protection for several kinds of owners, from leather traditionalists to people who treat drop protection like a competitive sport. The Nomad iPhone 18 Pro Cases collection includes the Modern Leather Case, Clear Leather Case, Rugged Case, and ProShield Screen Protector, giving you four distinctly different ways to protect Apple’s latest Pro phone without turning it into the…
Kiwibit‘s latest high-tech bird feeder, the Kiwibit Bird Feeder 2 Pro, is an AI-powered smart feeder built for backyard birders who want more than just a snack station. It includes a 4K camera with autofocus tracking, so any bird stays sharp, even in mid-flight. Solar panels keep it running for days on minimal sunlight, and dual 1.7L hoppers mean fewer refills. The FeatherPal AI can spot over 10,000 species, no subscription needed for the basics. Weatherproof, Alexa-compatible, and Wi Fi enabled. It turns your yard into a live nature channel you can check from your phone, anywhere.
Bob and Brad make excellent devices. Whether it’s a massage gun, an eye massager, a weighted heated blanket, or anything else that accelerates recovery and improves health, their products are top-notch. And while they’re not exactly reinventing the wheel with the Bob and Brad’s Q2 Ultra Massage Gun, it has the refinement and little touches that make it stand out in a crowded market.
Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro is the sort of phone most people won’t want meeting concrete without protection, and UAG has already lined up several ways to wrap it in armor. The latest UAG iPhone 18 Pro Cases range from a relatively clean, clear design to a much more rugged option built for people who treat “butterfingers” as a recurring personality trait. There’s also a kickstand-equipped case for hands-free viewing, plus a tempered-glass screen protector that rounds out the setup. Prices start at $24.95 for the glass and run to $84.95 for the toughest case here.
The Sterling Pacific Polycarbonate Cabin Travel Case (40L) and Polycarbonate Check-In Travel Case (90L) take the company’s distinctive luggage design in a lighter, more practical direction. Aluminum luggage has a certain appeal that polycarbonate has historically struggled to match. Aluminum looks substantial. It develops scars rather than simply scratches. It has that vaguely aviation-inspired quality that makes even a mundane trip through Terminal B feel a little more glamorous than it probably is. The problem is that aluminum also weighs like aluminum.
Infinity is a lighting manufacturer whose product lines include flashlights, headlamps, work lights, and lighting for the home, outdoors, security, and other uses. In the past, we reviewed their excellent X1 7000 Lumen flashlight, and in this review, we look at the Infinity X1 2500 Lumen Work Light 3-Pack.
As a big micromobility proponent, any time a unique e-bike shows up in my feed, my ears perk up. So when ENGWE asked if I wanted to test the ENGWE M20 3.0, an e-bike capable of reaching up to 40 mph, yes, yes, yes, and more yes. When it showed up, I double-checked the invoice. I didn’t recall agreeing to review a motorcycle, but one was listed. According to the bill of lading, though, it was actually an e-bike.
Portable power stations usually get attention after the lights go out, but Jackery’s new Red Cross Edition power stations are designed to be a little more proactive. Launching September 29, the HomePower Emergency Pro Series combines three battery-backup models with automated severe-weather charging, a configurable emergency power reserve, and a charitable tie-in with the American Red Cross. The lineup ranges from a 1,024Wh portable unit to a 3,584Wh system that can expand into serious home-backup territory, giving households, first responders, and emergency crews several ways to keep essential equipment running when the grid doesn’t cooperate.
Regardless of the season, a great cooler/ice chest is a must-have. Loading these things can be cumbersome, especially if you have more than one. Dometic has solved cooler needs with its Recon series, designed to stack like storage bins while still delivering a feature-rich ice chest. Now you can keep your items cold and pack easily for the big trip. The stackable, packable Dometic Recon Hardside 41L works great on its own or as part of a full Recon setup. Two inches of insulation keeps everything cold, and the injection-molded shell cuts weight while staying strong.
America’s 250th birthday has made 2026 a natural year to revisit Americana style, but that doesn’t mean the look has to begin and end with red, white, and blue outfits on July Fourth. In fact, some of the most enduring American style influences have very little to do with holiday dressing. Think broken-in denim, vintage graphic tees, Western boots, varsity jackets, cozy flannels, canvas bags, classic sneakers, collegiate-inspired sweatshirts, and the outdoor clothing that becomes especially appealing once the weather starts to cool.
Lenovo is taking its Chromebook experience in a new direction with the Lenovo Googlebook 15, a 15.3″ premium laptop built around Googlebook OS, Intel’s Series 3 Core Ultra 5 processor, and deeply integrated Gemini features. Starting at $1,099.99, it pairs a 2.8K OLED touchscreen with up to 32GB of memory, up to 512GB of storage, a large haptic touchpad, quad speakers, and a sub-3-pound metal chassis. The more interesting question isn’t whether Lenovo can make polished hardware. It can. It’s whether Google’s new AI-first computing layer makes this machine meaningfully different from a very nice Chromebook.
CarpodGo makes portable CarPlay and Android Auto displays that bring modern smartphone connectivity to any vehicle’s stereo without equipment replacement or difficult wiring. CarpodGo’s lineup includes the compact Mini, ideal for drivers who want a discreet, space-saving upgrade, and the T4 and T4 Plus, which offer larger screens for a fuller, more immersive experience. All three models make it easy to access navigation, music, calls, and messaging directly from your dashboard, giving older or factory-equipped vehicles a smarter, more connected feel with simple setup and flexible mounting options.
Working late at a computer screen often turns your desk into an impromptu cave, leaving you squinting at paperwork or fighting harsh overhead glare. Monitor light bars have become desktop staples for reclaiming real estate and banishing reflections, but high-end models can easily push well past $150. Enter the Quntis Monitor Light Bar Glow (HY214) in space gray. Measuring in at 16.1 inches (41 cm), this standard model promises balanced front lighting, soft ambient backlighting, and a wireless desktop puck for around $50.
Anker‘s eufy brought its fall lineup to Bathhouse Studios in downtown New York, and the theme was distance. The company’s Fall Showcase, billed as “Own Your Yard — Proactive Detection Beyond the Door,” introduced five new security devices built to work together as the Eufy Edge 5.0 Yard Protection System. I attended the event, which paired a hands-on look at the hardware with a brief presentation from Janet Jin of eufy’s PR team, social media lead Kieran Lemon, and David Aguwa from the social media team.
