Like probably many people reading this, my first robot vacuum was a Roomba. It was great for its time, but if you’ve been paying attention, other companies have been improving their technology while iRobot seems to be stagnant. Shark, Yeedi, and Roborock are some of the better robot vacuum brands out there, and they’re currently […]

Peloton bikes are best known for their video classes, which feature a social leaderboard, chatty instructors, and handpicked music. But from a fitness perspective, my favorite feature is “power zone” training, which you can do with specific classes or enable the power zone bar for any workout. Let me tell you why I love it, […]

The EU is charging Apple with violating the Digital Markets Act, a move that could cost the company $38 billion if found guilty. The action follows complaints that the company isn’t doing enough to satisfy the region’s DMA regulations. The DMA’s rules, which came into effect for Apple in March, are intended to encourage fair […]

Once you feel comfortable caring for domestic pets like cats and dogs, taking the leap to farm animals usually starts with poultry.

Earlier this month, Google issued a security update for its line of Pixel smartphones, issuing patches for 45 vulnerabilities in Android. Security updates aren’t as flashy as Feature Drops, and so users might not feel as inspired to update their Pixels right away. This update, however, is one you should install ASAP. As it turns […]

When LG released the 45GR95QE UltraGear OLED gaming monitor in early 2023, it served as a statement that the company was serious about competing in the space. But at $1,699.99, it was also very expensive. A year and change later, however, that same impressive monitor can be had for $999.99, the lowest price it has […]

The Control Center has been totally revamped in iOS 18. You can now move pretty much every control around, add more controls than ever before, and have access to multiple pages of controls. My only complaint is that it’s still a bit too hard to launch Control Center from the top-right corner of the iPhone’s […]

Apple has a free new app for professional videographers that goes a step above the normal camera app. It’s called Final Cut Camera, and not only does it offer more advanced controls for recording video, but it also pairs well with Final Cut Pro for iPad to let you record a multi-camera session.

Late June means “summer” everywhere across America, and for most of us, summer gardens are in full swing already. In fact, most farmers have moved onto starting seed for fall and winter gardens.
