It's always refreshing when the new version of a product gets significantly better battery life than the last. And that's the case with the Moto Tag 2: Motorola's second-gen tracker tag can go more than 500 days before it needs a new battery. That's almost a year and a half that you can forget about [...]

One year ago, Lenovo became the first company besides Valve to announce a handheld with SteamOS instead of Windows. The result was the Legion Go S with SteamOS; no Steam Deck killer due to price and battery life, but a big step forward in performance and pick-up-and-play portability. Now, Lenovo's doing it again - it's [...]

It says a lot about the current moment when one of the world's largest EV sellers shows up at the world's biggest electronics show to announce not a new, more affordable model or a cool futuristic concept car, but a humanoid robot.

If you listen to the CES hype machine this year, you might think that robots are finally ready to take over your domestic duties. To some extent that's true, but take note of the plural: there's no single robot ready to take over all of your household chores yet, but an army of them just [...]

My biggest gripe about open-ear buds is that they're rotten for loud city commutes. Cue a pedantic audiophile pointing out that the whole premise of open-ear buds is to not block out sound. Yes, yes. But the unfortunate truth is that often means if you want open-ear buds for one situation, you'll have to buy [...]
