Table of Contents I Tested the Inmotion V9 EUC, and It's Easily One of the Best Choices for Beginners The Inmotion V9 is among the best grab-and-go electric unicycles (EUCs) available that I've tested. I say that as someone who's been riding wheels for years now and prefers them to e-bikes. They're not for everyone, but thanks to the V9's size, security features, focus on rider safety and reliable battery risk reduction, it's a fantastic option if you're ready to leave handlebars behind.

How to Delete All of Your Social Media Accounts: Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok, and More

wired.com Boone Ashworth 2026-01-17 02:30:00

Here’s an evergreen take: There has never been a better time to get off social media. Social services have evolved even further into becoming sticky traps for doomscrolling and AI-generated slop, and are hitherto unprecedented frontiers for rage bait. Bummed out about all the misinformation and being part of a profit machine that funds one increasingly unhinged billionaire or another? Well, there’s a way out.

Robot Vacuum Tips to Help You Keep a Tidy Home (2025)

In the past few years, no other gadget—headphones, electric bicycle, literally anything at all—has improved as dramatically as the humble robot vacuum. The hardware and software have improved beyond all imagining. There are self-emptying bins, multilevel mapping abilities, and all sorts of bells and whistles, like an automated robot arm! Prices on the entry-level models have dropped significantly, to the point where robot vacuums are now an accessible household tool instead of a statement of bou

Zig's new Writer As you might have heard, Zig's Io namespace is being reworked. Eventually, this will mean the re-introduction of async.

It doesn't apply to Zig 0.14.x (or any previous version) and is likely to be outdated as more of the Io namespace is reworked. Not long ago, I wrote a blog post which tried to expl

Constraints keep the integrity of your system and prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot.
