If you have both an Instagram and Facebook account, chances are they are connected, whether you like it or not. But what if you didn’t connect them in the first place, or if you have a Finstagram account that you really don’t want linked back to your main? Too bad, because once Facebook has enough […]
Technically, I’m cheating with the Handpresso Auto Hybrid. It requires 12V power to operate. But if you travel by vehicle and have access to a 12V socket (a cigarette lighter socket), the Handpresso Auto makes a quick espresso. The Auto Hybrid’s extraction is very close to that of the Wild Hybrid, our Runner Up. Like […]
The settings on Instagram include a page devoted to the “Linked Accounts” feature. As you might expect, it displays … your linked accounts. Users have the option to connect to Twitter, Tumblr, and, of course, Instagram’s parent company, Facebook, among others. On first glance, the feature appears pretty straightforward—apps that aren’t linked are shown in […]
What is the definitive Nintendo handheld? Ask around and you’ll get a different answer each time. For me, the Nintendo DS Lite remains king, in all its stylish, small, sturdy-as-hell glory. It was the perfect pocket-sized revision to the chunky DS that allowed me to sneak Sonic Rush into my elementary math classes and zip […]
Whether you’re looking for a mountain bike, a car replacement, or a convenient commuter, there’s an electric bike out there for you. According to the market research firmNPD Group, ebike sales skyrocketed by almost 91 percent in 2017 over the previous year. That’s a lot of bikes. Ebikes are versatile, they burn less fossil fuel, […]
Laptops usually come in one of two flavors: 13-inch for portability or 15-inch for horsepower. Simple. Easy-peasy. Occasionally though, a manufacturer makes a laptop outside of that binary. Sometimes they’re itty-bitty 12-inch ultrabooks, designed to slip into manila envelopes (our favorite laptops). This time, pendulum has swung the other direction, yielding the Razer Blade Pro, […]
Everyone has a bizarre cooking shortcut they love, and its usually a device of some sort. It might be a mango peeler, a multi-edge brownie pan, or an all-in-one egg sandwich device. (Yup, that’s a thing.) My guilty pleasure: the waffle maker. A waffle maker can cook almost anything. National Waffle Day, on August 24, […]
Parenting involves more than a little magical thinking. If I go anywhere that parents gather, sooner or later a desperate mom or dad will ask me for the one thing that will make it easier to travel with a baby or small children. I can’t make a 4-year-old avert a meltdown at an airport gate, […]
Say goodbye to pie and lollipops, because Google’s mobile platform is going on a diet. Since 2009, Google has gifted each major iteration of its Android operating system with a dessert-themed name. The names have progressed in alphabetical order since the release of Android Cupcake, which was followed by Donut, then Eclair, then Froyo, all […]
The Raspberry Pi is a computer the size of a credit card that is aimed at do-it-yourselfers. The cheap and tiny device costs less than you’d pay for a few drinks in San Francisco, so it’s already proven to be a hit among hobbyists who want to add light computing or internet connectivity to their […]
