The packaging immediately signals that RAK took this seriously. Everything is clean and thought-out, you open the box and you get the device, a charging cable, and a lanyard. That lanyard might seem like a small detail, but it comes included at the same price point as other EDC-style devices. In other words, this isn't a cost-cutting compromise or a cosmetic extra, it's a well-considered, user-focused design choice.

EDC used to mean something very specific. Ask any survival enthusiast and they'll tell you it stands for EveryDay Carry, the essential tools you keep on hand at all times. A Swiss Army knife. A multi-tool. A compact flashlight. Things built for the unpredictable, the inconvenient, and the emergency. The whole point was physical survival, and the design language to match: rugged, matte, built to last.

A celestial projector if you want a night-light that is ~out of this world.~ This has a bunch of different colors and comes with a timer, so it will shut off after you or your little one has drifted off to sleep. The little astronaut projector makes great daytime room decor, too.

No longer does your sponge squat flatly beside the faucet, on the counter, or in the bottom of your sink bottom, where it wallows in that residue and water. It instead drains through the 30-plus holes, of varying sizes, carved into the bottom of this device. That keeps your sponge well-drained and dry between each use, helping to avoid bacteria buildup and associated odors.

According to a new rumor, Realme is working on the C83, which will be positioned under the C85, just like the naming scheme implies. The C85 made its debut in November. The C83 is said to arrive in three RAM/storage combos: 4/64GB, 4/128GB, and 6/128GB. Their prices in India are rumored to be INR 13,499, INR 14,499, and INR 17,499, respectively.

In footage circulating online, a Unitree G1 robot loses balance while performing in front of a crowd in China. As it hits the ground, it uncontrollably thrashes its limbs in all directions, hitting a man in the nose. The man, who appeared to be the robot's operator, had tried to grab the humanoid machine to stop it from tipping over. Later in the video, he can be seen squatting on the ground nursing a bleeding nose.

The Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro is too weird to exist. It takes the excellent 4K projector and karaoke microphones from Anker's Nebula X1 and stuffs them inside a powerful five-speaker Google TV party on wheels. It's so absurd that it feels like a gadget fever dream - and I'm here for it. At the heart of this system is the same liquid-cooled, triple-laser, auto-image-correction-everything projector I reviewed last summer.

Four years after its release, Valve's Steam Deck is still the most popular handheld PC around and for good reason. The portable gaming device is easy to use, can play most 2D games you install on it with ease, handles 3D games fairly well, and can even be modded and tweaked if you so desire. It's a marvelous machine, and if you are here, you likely own one or are about to buy one and want some video game recommendations.

However, each individual watch has its own unique selling point - and for the Flint (as its name rightfully suggests), it's the waterproof flint-rod that's integrated into the watch's body. Unscrew it when you want to start a fire, scrape on the rod using a pocket knife, and sparks immediately shoot off, igniting any form of tinder, creating a tiny fire that can then be harnessed to light a campfire, an old-fashioned torch, or an emergency signal in a time of distress.

The Android gaming handheld dubbed Pocket Super Knob 5000 has a knob that can be turned to select from one of the four performance profiles in games where the function is supported. One advantage that dedicated gaming handhelds have over a phone-controller setup is the freedom of a full-blown set of physical controls. This handheld is another example of a gaming console with a specific set of control inputs targeted at a niche set of gamers.

The Game Boy family of handheld consoles was groundbreaking, making gaming more accessible to millions worldwide. Nintendo's portables beat off technologically superior competition from the likes of Sega's Game Gear and Atari's Lynx. They became home to foundational moments for the medium, from what is still arguably the definitive version of Tetris to the birth of Pokémon. Yet with the iconic gray monolith launching in 1989, it's now pushing 40-and playing those important classics gets tougher every year.

The viral AI personal assistant, formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot, has dominated the feeds of AI boosters over the past few weeks for its ability to perform everyday tasks like sending emails, managing calendars, booking appointments, and complaining about their meatbag masters on the purportedly all-agent forum known as MoltBook. More level-headed voices have already flagged a wave of security vulnerabilities.

Leaked renders shared by YTechB suggest that the Redmi Buds 8 Active will sport a semi-in-ear or open fit design. Unlike the Redmi Buds 8 Lite, the Active model appears to have silicone ear tips. The stem design appears similar to that of the Lite variant, while the charging case looks nearly identical to the one used by the Buds 8 Lite. The wireless headset is expected to be offered in Blue, Black, and White colour options.

OpenAI's first hardware release will be a smart speaker with a camera that will probably cost between $200 and $300, according to The Information. The device will be able to recognize things like "items on a nearby table or conversations people are having in the vicinity," The Information says, and it will have a Face ID-like facial recognition system so that people can purchase things. OpenAI acquired Jony Ive's hardware company last May in a deal worth nearly $6.5 billion.

The Switch 2 barely celebrated its first birthday and yet here we are already whispering about what comes next. That's the "Nintendo Effect", really. The company trains us to speculate obsessively, and honestly, the rumor mill right now is giving us plenty of material to work with. So let's lean into it: is a Switch 2 Pro or some kind of premium hardware revision actually on the horizon sooner than expected? The signs are quietly pointing toward yes, and it's worth getting excited about.

Scott Rogowsky is a comedian - he knows how to make fun of himself. That's how he ended up roaming New York City Comic Con with his own photo printed out like a "Wanted" poster, filming himself asking strangers, "Have you seen this man?" These passersby showed a flicker of recognition, looking at the tall, bearded man like someone they had known in a past life, but couldn't quite place.

Here's a question: what if your backyard pool could moonlight as a personal aquatic gym, wave pool, and lazy river - all without any permanent installation? That's the pitch behind iGarden's new Swim Jet X Series, a battery-powered contraption that clamps onto your pool edge and fires water at speeds that can actually challenge competitive swimmers. The whole setup is refreshingly simple. Mount the jet unit to your pool's edge using the included clamps - no drilling, no plumbing, no construction crew required.

The big new addition in the upcoming season is Grom, an island that players can visit and skate around on. However, the island, which is a slightly updated version of the tutorial island, is essentially locked behind a paywall, which goes against a promise EA made before launch. On February 19, EA and Full Circle posted a blog talking about some of the changes coming in Skate's third season, which goes live on March 10.

Electric snow blowers are corded and good for clearing light to moderate snow off patios, porches, walkways, and small-to-medium-size driveways. High-voltage batteries power cordless snow blowers, which are effective on light, moderate, and heavy snow on walkways and driveways. Gas snow blowers are more powerful and can run longer without needing a recharge, which makes them better suited for large properties.

Do you have a phone in your pocket you'd like to upgrade in the next few years? Fancy a game console or handheld? A laptop, perhaps? Will you need a new router, whether you're purchasing outright or renting from your ISP? Each of these devices is expected to have shortages, price hikes, or both in 2026. And even if you don't plan to buy, you depend on goods and services from others who'll be paying more to upgrade their devices.

The mid-range smartphone segment is crowded in ways that make individual products hard to distinguish. Specs converge, designs flatten, and most phones feel interchangeable within days. vivo's V70 enters that space with a clear point of view: a ZEISS-co-engineered telephoto camera tuned for stage photography and travel, a large battery built for long days, and a physical design that genuinely tries to look and feel like something worth keeping.
