engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-18 01:04:45

As frustrating as it is that governments and businesses are running roughshod over our online freedoms, at least we have plenty of good VPNs to choose from to keep us protected online. There are so many fast, intelligently designed, full-featured and affordable services on the market that the biggest problem is picking one. For any use case, you can bet at least two providers will be neck-and-neck for first place. On the other hand, the VPN world is still the Wild West in some ways. It's easy

Electromechanical Reshaping Offers Safer Eye Surgery

news.ycombinator.com Meghie Rodrigues 2025-10-17 23:56:37

A new, promising technique has the potential to replace laser surgeries in ophthalmologists’ offices in the future, for a fraction of the cost. Called electromechanical reshaping (EMR), the technique offers a gentler approach to correcting the cornea than Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK), today’s gold standard for treating vision issues including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The eye develops these and other conditions when the cornea’s curvature is off—too stee

Maingear’s ‘Super 16’ Gaming Laptop Has a Blistering Fast 300Hz Display

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-18 01:00:00

The jump to the Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs and the avalanche of tariff woes make our gaming gadgets more costly for only marginal performance gains. Out of this murk of price gouging is Maingear, a company best known for making custom gaming desktops. Its new “Super 16″ 16-inch gaming laptop, announced at the same time as IFA 2025, does more than most companies to set itself apart, but it’s the starting price for its specs that makes it more enticing than competing notebooks.

Roborock’s Washer and Dryer Combo Also Doubles as a Robot Vacuum Dock

Roborock’s big product announcement at IFA 2025 is something I don’t think anybody saw coming: a combo washer and dryer with a secret compartment for robot vacuums. Called the 4-in-1 Household Cleaning Combo for now, it has no price and no release date, but it might be one of my favorite ideas on the show floor so far. The washer and dryer is essentially the Roborock Zeo One, which the company also showed off at the Berlin technology show. It’s a smart washer and dryer with a glossy glass front
