Dyson V8 Plus Cordless Vacuum Is Already Cheaper Than Last Prime Day and Stock Is Limited

There’s nothing like the feeling of a freshly vacuumed floor. It doesn’t matter if you’re picking up pet hair, cereal crumbs, or whatever gets tracked in from outside, a good vacuum makes it all disappear. But dragging out a heavy, corded vacuum every time you need a quick cleanup isn’t just annoying. It can keep you from actually doing the vacuuming at all. If you’re the type of person affected by this and your laziness meter goes up exponentially when having to deal with a heavy machine, then

Asus Rog Delta II Review: Lots To Offer, but Not Worth the Price

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-16 10:01:52

As a more casual gamer, I used to just play games with my computer speakers or sound bar, never bothering with gaming headsets. I would grab a cheap Microsoft or similar knockoff when I played with friends, but that was about it. That all changed when I got my first real gaming headset a couple of years ago. Now, my eyes (or ears, technically) have been opened. The better sound, and being able to hear everything around you including footsteps, really is a game-changer. Asus recently released two

These Transcribing Eyeglasses Put Subtitles on the World

I knew the AI on these smart glasses worked pretty well once it told me that someone else in the conversation was being the socially awkward one. TranscribeGlass are smart eyeglasses that aim to do exactly what it says on the tin: transcribe spoken conversations and project subtitles onto the glass in front of your eyes. They’re meant for the Deaf and, primarily, the hard-of-hearing community who struggle to read lips or pick out a conversation in a loud room. Most face computers are graceless

TVs can be pretty darn expensive nowadays. Sure, they’re better than ever, but keeping on the cutting edge will cost a lot, and sometimes high-end features are just going to be wasted on what you want the TV for anyway. There are a lot of times when you’d be better off going for a more budget option that’ll get the job done without all of the bells and whistles, but even then, you might be looking at a couple of hundred bucks. It’s a good job that deals come around here and there then, isn’t it?
