I love fitness and working out, but I haven’t set foot in a gym since 2020. Over the past few years, I’ve built a solid home gym with kettlebells, adjustable weights, and a rowing machine. But none of them have humbled me quite like the Rayofi Portable GYM Machine.
Over the years, my husband Kev and I have gone through quite the wine storage journey—from makeshift racks to dedicated coolers—and we’ve learned that proper temperature control makes all the difference. When the opportunity came to review the BODEGA JC-70 Wine Cooler, I was more than happy to put it to the test. Spoiler alert: It performed flawlessly.
If you don’t think you need an articulating borescope, think again. You can use it to help diagnose plumbing issues, find a ring dropped down the drain, work on your car, do electrical work, and so much more. The Kaiweets KBA01 Two-Way Articulating Borescope is an inexpensive yet fully featured option, retailing at $119.99.
Apple’s Vision Pro has been out for a minute now, and while it’s undoubtedly an impressive piece of hardware, I think we can agree that it also firmly cements its wearers in the “I have more money than sense” club. At $3,500, you’d think Apple would throw in a carrying case that doesn’t look like a discount lunchbox, but here we are. Enter the dbrand Aperture—a faceplate so unapologetically odd-looking that it somehow makes perfect sense.
A laser engraver provides endless possibilities for those wanting to become a maker of crafts and products. I recently tried the AlgoLaser Alpha MK2 20W Diode Laser Engraver, which did not disappoint. I wanted to create a few items, including leatherette patches for caps and beanies. Laser designs are popular products right now, and it turns out that they are easy to make when you have the right equipment.

I must admit that prior to this review, I had barely heard the term “Everyday Carry” (EDC). For those unfamiliar with it, the term refers to a range of items that most people would find helpful to carry in their pockets every day. These typically include cell phones, wallets, keychains, knives, flashlights, and multitools, amongst other things. In this review, we look at the Titaner Ultimate Pocket EDC Kit, specifically the Pro 4-Piece Combo Set. The set includes the TiSpanner 2.0, the Falcon 1.0 Micro Knife, the Toothpick & Earpick, and the Imperial Tiroler 5-inch.

German Bionic is rolling out their new Apogee ULTRA, which uses adaptive, AI-driven features to make it the most powerful exoskeleton ever.
When you think of augmented reality glasses, most people think of the late, not-so-great Google Glasses. That or they get them confused with VR headsets. What they don’t think of is something stylish, discreet, and smart. The team behind Halliday smart glasses hopes to change this!
Bodies are wild and unpredictable ecosystems sometimes. When you feel draggy, foggy, or just a little off, there’s no easy diagnostic panel you can run to figure out why. Or at least there hasn’t been. Abbott Labs uses its experience with continuous glucose monitors for diabetics to bring that level of understanding to everyone with its Lingo device!
There are 830 million people in the world with some form of diabetes. Unfortunately, that means it’s almost guaranteed that someone you know needs to deal with the hassle of tracking blood sugar.
