In the middle of the Las Vegas Convention Center, amidst the world’s largest tech trade show, an awards show was taking place. The audience included nominees ranging from large companies like Nvidia to scrappy startups introducing themselves to the world, alongside journalists, tech insiders, and enthusiasts gathering to watch the Best of CES 2026 awards.

Gaming controllers are just one of those things that I love to collect, but living in a small New York apartment, eventually enough is enough. At CES this year, I saw three new controllers that are all trying to be the last ones I’ll ever need to buy (for specific systems, at least). It seems […]

Robot vacuums are a convenient way to keep your house clean without actually putting in much work, but they’ve all got one major problem—what if your house has multiple stories?

I write a lot about productivity, which means I also read a lot about it. Over the last few months, I’ve noticed an uptick in people discussing something called “cognitive overload,” citing it as a potential reason for a decline in output. The phrase stuck out to me as one of those buzzy terms that […]
