Get yourself a solid wall charger block that can handle all your devices at once. The UGREEN 65W USB-C charger has multiple ports to plug into and can recharge

Dyson is a brand that commands prestige in the world of home appliances, much like Apple does in consumer electronics. It’s a company that rarely offers significant discounts and keeps its reputation for quality and performance with every model, even those that have been on the market for several years. For those who don’t want to spend $1,000 or more on a brand-new Dyson, opting for a slightly older model can be a smart move especially when that model, like the Dyson V8 Plus, is available at a

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-19 02:45:17

Image by Andrew Brodhead Researchers have developed a novel device that literally spins away the clots that block blood flow to the brain and cause strokes. As Stanford explains in a blurb, the novel milli-spinner device may be able to save the lives of patients who experience "ischemic stroke" from brain stem clotting. Traditional clot removal, a process known as thrombectomy, generally uses a catheter that either vacuums up the blood blockage or uses a wire mesh to ensnare it — a procedure

For more than a century the telephone exchange has formed the backbone of our telecommunications system.
