gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2026-03-12 13:10:59

Low WiFi in a large house can be quite frustrating, particularly when your ISP router is not powerful enough to cover all parts of it. Instead of relying on an average box that has a tendency of creating dead spots and lagging connections, it is worth investing in a more powerful system from a trusted brand like TP-Link. One of their best-selling devices, the 3-pack TP-Link Deco AX3000 WiFi 6 mesh system (deco x55) is currently selling at an all-time low price of $149, down from $199 previously

The New ‘Weapons’ Trailer Promises ‘a Lot of People Die in a Lot of Really Weird Ways’

So far the marketing for Weapons is looking like 2025’s slightly more accessible answer to last year’s Longlegs: freaky and distressing, and promising exponentially more of the same from the feature itself. A first trailer gave a little more insight into the movie’s plot, and a retro-styled website plays up its true-crime angle. Now Weapons is back with a second clip to set the dread-filled mood even more. We see a bewildered teacher (Julia Garner) being blamed for a class of missing kids, with

MIT engineers use 3D-printed steel to repair corroded bridge

The big picture: According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, more than half of the 623,218 bridges in the US are in a state of significant deterioration. Getting them back in good standing would cost north of $191 billion – no small chunk of change.
