BougeRV Electric Foldable Wagon Review: Haul Smarter, Not Harder

Table of Contents BougeRV Electric Foldable Wagon Review: Haul Smarter, Not Harder I've used my fair share of hand trucks, dollies and carts over the years. But it wasn't until recently that I got to try out an electric, foldable wagon from BougeRV. Given how much time I spend covering micromobility, this $400 wagon didn't feel too far off my usual territory. What's the difference between the BougeRV and a regular wagon? Simply put, it has a battery-powered motor to do the heavy lifting for yo

The Browser Company, maker of Arc and Dia, is being acquired

Mike Cannon-Brookes, the CEO of enterprise software giant Atlassian, was one of the first users of the Arc browser. Over the last several years, he has been a prolific bug reporter and feature requester. Now he’ll own the thing: Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company, the New York-based startup that makes both Arc and the new AI-focused Dia browser. Atlassian is paying $610 million in cash for The Browser Company, and plans to run it as an independent entity. The conversations that led to t

How Wikipedia survives while the rest of the internet breaks

WhenWhen armies invade, hurricanes form, or governments fall, a Wikipedia editor will typically update the relevant articles seconds after the news breaks. So quick are editors to change “is” to “was” in cases of notable deaths that they are said to have the fastest past tense in the West. So it was unusual, according to one longtime editor who was watching the page, that on the afternoon of January 20th, 2025, hours after Elon Musk made a gesture resembling a Nazi salute at a rally following Pr

Atlassian to buy Arc developer The Browser Company for $610M

Productivity software maker Atlassian has agreed to acquire The Browser Company, which makes the Arc and Dia browsers, for $610 million in cash. “Today’s browsers weren’t built for work; they were built for browsing. This deal is a bold step forward in reimagining the browser for knowledge work in the AI era,” Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian’s CEO and co-founder, said in a statement. “Together, we’ll create an AI-powered browser optimized for the many SaaS applications living in tabs – one that

Huawei launches second trifold smartphone at $2,500 as it looks to cement comeback

Eufy's MarsWalker allows its robot vacuums to climb stairs

Eufy just introduced a couple of new devices at the IFA conference in Germany, including something called the MarsWalker. This little doodad picks up robot vacuums and carries them up and down stairs. That's pretty neat, considering stairs are the bane of any robovac's existence. The company says the MarsWalker automatically recognizes common stair types, including straight, L-shaped and U-shaped. It transports the vacuum between floors and drops it off at the base station when needed. Eufy boa

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S11 Tablets Come in Two Sizes: Big and Absolutely Huge

There are only so many ways to make a tablet. If you’re Acer, you give most of your new Iconia tablets kickstands. If you’re Apple, well, you just say it’s a new iPad and call it a day. And if you’re Samsung, you announce the new Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra and make everybody play a game of “spot the difference” between the two Android tablets. At IFA 2025, Samsung debuted the two new tablets, and yes, you may need ChatGPT to create a table comparing the two to see what one has that the other

Eufy’s Marswalker Is the First Robot Vacuum Designed to Climb a Full Flight of Stairs

Stairs are the enemy of robot vacuums everywhere. There isn’t currently a single robot vacuum on the market that can climb a flight of stairs without human assistance. Even the best robot vacuums we recommend for their ability to cross obstacles, like the Dreame X50 Ultra and Roborock Saros Z70, can only handle thresholds between two and three inches. Eufy’s Marswalker may be the first robot vacuum to truly be able to tackle this problem. It’s a robot vacuum that looks a bit like a wheeled Mars

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 Reveal Could Be Just 5 Days Away

Not only is it due for an upgrade (the Ultra 2 debuted in September 2023), but Apple may have actually dropped the biggest clue yet. Buried in the public beta of iOS 26 (first spotted by MacRumors) are screen specs that don't match any existing Apple Watch model on the market, hinting at the arrival of an Apple Watch U

Is Congestion Pricing Working? The MTA’s Revamped Data Team Is Figuring It Out
