TCL has proven to know what we need when it comes to entertainment and connectivity. Their TVs, phones, and tablets are all fantastic gear that are easy to use and push the envelope of how sharp and clear a display can be. But TCL knows sometimes, when you’re watching TV (say…the news?), you might need more than an HD display to take the edge off. Like, say, a cold drink? Enter the new TCL Display Case Wine Cooler and Retro-Inspired Beverage Cooler!

We weren’t always wine drinkers (much less collectors), but the hobby kind of snuck up on us. It started with a local vineyard membership and me bringing home random bottles of red from work trips. Eventually, Kev transitioned from homebrewing to making his own wine. We stored our growing collection in racks and cabinets, but the lack of proper temperature control was less than ideal. We knew it was time to step up our game and store our growing collection as it deserved, so when the opportunity came to review the BODEGA JC-85A Wine Cooler, I was happy to oblige.

In June, I was blessed with a trip to ThermoWorks headquarters, where I learned a lot, had some excellent food, hung out with some great people, and got a sneak peek at their new RFX wireless network technology. The ThermoWorks RFX is the first meat thermometer to use ThermoWorks’ new patent-pending industrial radio frequency technology. Say goodbye to unreliable Bluetooth signals!
Using disposable plastic tableware is an environmental faux pas; it’s made from non-renewable resources, takes forever to decompose, and often pollutes our oceans and harms wildlife. Plus, it contains harmful chemicals like BPA and PFAS that can leach into your food, posing health risks. And let’s not forget the economic costs of cleaning up plastic waste. Opting for eco-friendly alternatives, like the compostable plant-based options from Repurpose—a company founded by a mom with a vision for a greener future—helps the planet while keeping your summer parties carefree with easy cleanup.

If you live in an area with an unstable or unsafe water supply, where clean water is not guaranteed for drinking and cooking, you might think that bottled water is your only option. However, another method has been proven to work: Atmospheric water generation (AWG), which creates potable water from the air. The systems that can do this are generally expensive, but DrinkingWater, which is now seeking backing on Indiegogo, is offering a solution that can put this technology to work in your home for as little as $329.
Whether you are an outdoor BBQ enthusiast or a seasoned chef, a high-quality apron is an essential cooking tool.
