Fitness trackers have come a long way from the simple bands that tracked steps and little else.

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-21 04:00:00

If you’ve scrolled through TikTok or Instagram, you’ve probably seen fitness challenges based on your biological age. In some cases, it’s funny to see people attempting feats that seem impossible for their age or impressive that they can do them. You’ve probably felt inspired to try out some of these challenges and even questioned their legitimacy. “Most of these challenges, like completing 11 consecutive push-ups (for women), doing pull-ups or performing a kneeling-to-squat jump, are quick scr

Staples Union & Scale FlexFit Desk Converter Review: Reliable Riser

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2026-02-21 11:03:00

The included keyboard rest is optional to install, though the whole thing is designed to work together. It's a little annoying. I wish you could roll the tray into the riser to hide it, which would go a long way in making the FlexFit look a little more elegant, and could also help with storage. You also can't adjust the height of the tray, so while I didn't have issues typing on a keyboard, I found my wrist cramping up a little when using my Apple Magic Trackpad because it was a little too low.

TL;DR A Redditor modified a mechanical watch body to fit the electronics from a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.
