There are few things as polarizing as PC keyboards. There are message boards and subreddits filled to the brim with opinions on the virtues and vices of different switch mechanisms and dissecting every aspect and component, right down to the plastic used in the keycaps. There’s good reason for that. You probably spend a good […]
WIRED: Every tier includes 5G data speeds. You won’t be throttled at all on the Unlimited Elite plan, and on the Unlimited Extra plan you won’t be throttled until you hit 50 gigabytes of data. If you’re on the Unlimited Elite, you get a big 40-gigabyte bucket of mobile hot spot to tether to other […]
Thomas Howard: When we first started to think about Nothing, there was this idea to ‘own’ transparency. We’re not going to win the tech race, that’s for sure. But if we want to even have a chance, we need to get really good at engineering. So let’s just do away with the facade, get rid […]
Getting proper surround sound in your home used to require research. You’d have to pore over forums (and before that, enthusiast magazines) to find the latest and greatest gear to replicate cinema-like audio at home. But these days, everything is cheaper and more convenient. High-end soundbars like Samsung’s HW-Q950A come with everything you need except […]
I complain about “gamer” aesthetics pretty often, but in the case of the JBL Quantum One, the ostentatious design and lighting are well worth it.

A good host always shares Wi-Fi with visitors, but explaining which network to join and spelling out the password (if you even remember it) can get tedious. Maybe you think you remember it, but it’s just not working and you insist your guest must be typing it in wrong. Then it hits you, you’ve been […]
Sunglasses are a must for any time of year. They protect your eyes from UV light and reduce the chance of conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration. They also reduce eyestrain when it’s bright outside and eliminate disorienting glare while driving. (Glare is a problem while driving in the snow too!) Plus, they help to […]
If getting out of the house isn’t a readily available option this summer, the next best course of action might be to improve the little things that irk you. Tired of turning up the TV, only to have imbalanced audio? A soundbar might help. Sick of the yellowish light in your kitchen? A new LED […]
In May, Google announced it would be releasing a new version of its wearable operating system, which is used by a bevy of tech and fashion brands, including Mobvoi and the Fossil Group. It’s called Wear OS 3, and it’s being codeveloped by Google, Samsung, and Fitbit (the latter is now Google-owned). This new version is […]
Last year was just about the worst possible time to launch a 360-degree camera—capture 360 views of you and all your friends out having fun! That just wasn’t 2020. Somehow, Vecnos, a brand spun out of the Japanese company Ricoh, managed to survive the pandemic collapse of social life and incrementally kept improving its Iqui […]
