I’m really impressed with this $400 portable projector

techcrunch.com Lauren Forristal 2025-10-25 14:00:00

I recently moved to a new apartment, and unfortunately, the television didn’t make the cut during the amicable roommate split. While my studio isn’t as cramped as my previous living situations, fitting a bulky TV into the living area still felt impractical to me. In my search for a suitable alternative, a startup called Lumi Labs reached out about testing its new portable projector, the Lumi Max. From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed by how far projectors have come since my college days

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is a sleek, lightweight smartwatch that combines smart features with the robust health tracking of Samsung Health.

Tesla challenges $243 million verdict in Autopilot death trial

Tesla has asked a judge to nix the $243 million verdict lodged against the company in a lawsuit involving its Autopilot system, or to allow a new trial to occur, according to a new court filing. The company’s lawyers argue that the verdict, which a jury made earlier this month, “flies in the face of basic Florida tort law, the Due Process Clause, and common sense.” This latest filing by Tesla lawyers tries, once again, to rest all of the blame on the driver George McGee, who helped cause the cr
