Ikea's new cute, colorful Kallsup Bluetooth speakers cost just $10 (5 in Europe) each and feature instant Bluetooth pairing. Pair one to your phone, then, with a two-button sequence, another Kallsup can join the party. You can theoretically pair up to 100. The team I chatted with at CES - where Ikea is making its [...]

Color-changing lights are a lot of fun, but it can be hard to figure out how to best use them in your home. Most smart lighting companies offer pre-designed scenes to help you light your space, but the lights don't know where they are physically in your home, and the effect can get diluted. Philips [...]

Intel announced yesterday that it's developing an entire "handheld gaming platform" powered by its new Panther Lake chips and joining an increasingly competitive field. Qualcomm is hinting about potential Windows gaming handhelds showing up at the Game Developers Conference in March, and AMD's new Strix Halo chips could lead to more powerful handhelds. According to [...]

While most attention in the AI race is focused on model builders and cloud platforms, Lenovo sits closer to millions of users than most companies.

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 [...]

In Shirley's video, he and another man identified only as "David" roam Minneapolis with cameras and microphones, demanding entrance to daycare centers they say are operated by members of the local Somali community.

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. And one we've seen already. Hyundai's decision to use its CES keynote to [...]

The first Wi-Fi 8 routers and chips made a surprise appearance at CES 2026, and could launch this year, only a couple of years after Wi-Fi 7 debuted. So, if you don't already have a Wi-Fi 7 router - and many of us don't - you might want to consider holding off on upgrading. Rather [...]

Electric trucks seem to have hit a pothole recently, ignored by truck owners who say they're worried about losing too much ranging from towing.

There was a time not too long ago when buying a power bank was as easy as choosing the cheapest portable battery that could charge your phone and quickly slip into your pocket, purse, or backpack.
