Where the heck did it come from, and why did it hit your windshield? As I always say, you don’t understand something unless you can model it. So let’s try a little thought experiment. We’ll start with a basic scenario, where someone ahead of you drops an object in the road, and then see what we need to make it work. Follow the Bouncing Ball OK, imagi

Anker is pushing portability limits with the launch of its giant 58-liter Solix EverFrost 2 dual-zone refrigerator / freezer. It’s portable because it has wheels, a handle, and slots for two batteries. But this thing weighs 64 pounds (29kg) empty and quickly reached 120 pounds when I filled my review unit with drinks and food. It

Best Over-Ear Headphones for 2025

Shure Aonic 50 Gen 2: A lot of us liked Shure's original Aonic 50 headphones, but they had pretty middling noise cancellation. Well, the 2nd-gen version addresses that issue -- the noise canceling is much improved -- and Shure has more than doubled the the battery life to around 45 hours (they now have a quick-charge feature) and also shrunk the headphone's carry case a bit, although it's still not that compact.

Firefighters saw flames shooting five feet into the air out the back of the truck, and they prepared to put the fire out using hoses and water.
