Review: Logitech’s Casa Pop Up Desk is a convenient way to work from anywhere

Logitech recently provided me with its Casa Pop Up Desk for review, and it’s a nifty little gadget for those who want more of a fixed desk setup while working on the go. If you’re more of a coffee shop person or always working outdoors – this could be a neat product for you. Overview The Casa Pop Up Desk comes in at $179.99, and while that sounds like a hefty price based on just the product name – you’re getting more than what the name would suggest. You’re not just paying for a nice little b

AllSpice’s platform is the GitHub for electrical engineering teams

There is no shortage of workflow collaboration tools — like Slack or Google Docs, in addition to industry-specific ones like GitHub — for software developers. A startup called AllSpice successfully bet that electrical hardware engineering teams need their own collaboration platform, too. AllSpice’s platform sits between existing workflow software. It allows hardware teams to collaborate on the types of documents they traditionally work in — documents that don’t easily translate over Slack and e

A shark scientist reflects on Jaws at 50

If you've been in the ocean, there's been a shark not that far from you, and it knew you were there, and you probably had no idea it was there and had a pleasant day in the water. The sharks that do bite people, they take a little bite and they go, what is that? And swim away. That can be real bad if it hits a major artery or if you're far from shore. Again, I don't want to minimize the real harm. But it is not a shark hunting you because it has a taste for human flesh. They don't have hands. Th

A Python-first data lakehouse

“Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible”. Donald A. Norman, The Design of Everyday Things.

Here are the price-matching policies for Best Buy, GameStop, and others

Nothing is more frustrating than buying a new pair of headphones, an OLED TV, or a laptop just to find out that you could have gotten it for a lot cheaper somewhere else. That’s why, in order to keep customers happy and prevent them from going elsewhere, many retailers offer price-matching policies in which they promise to match a lower price found elsewhere. That kind of information comes in handy no matter the time of year, but it’s especially helpful during shopping events like Amazon Prime D

Those Creatine Gummies You Bought Online Might Not Contain Any Creatine

Gummy supplements are appealing for one obvious reason: Instead of choking down a chalky powdered drink or swallowing a dubious-smelling capsule, you essentially get to eat some candy. Unfortunately, when it comes to creatine, these products might not contain the essential ingredient they claim. Four of six popular creatine gummy products sold on Amazon contained almost no creatine or none at all when samples were tested by an independent lab. Creatine, a staple supplement for weightlifters and

Jell-O and Kool-Aid Will No Longer Contain Artificial Dyes. This Is What's Replacing Them.

A Mattress Testing Expert Breaks Down Natural and Organic Certifications (2025)

As a professional mattress tester, I’ve seen an upward trend in the past few years of people looking into organic mattresses, toppers, and sheets. Whether it’s because of a renewed focus on what is truly “healthy” and toxin-free, or a concern over the use of fiberglass (I know we all remember that blowing up on TikTok), more brands are increasingly getting products certified. However, just because someone’s throwing on a label and using buzzwords like “natural” and “organic” doesn’t mean it’s t

Dyson Has Killed Its Bizarre Zone Air-Purifying Headphones

“No, this is not an elaborate April fool”. This is how WIRED first reported on the Dyson Zone at the end of March 2022. The Zone was a wild reimagining of an established product type—a big, bulky pair of headphones with an integrated air-purification mechanism that presented rather unfortunately like a high-tech gimp mask. A solution to a problem no consumer seemed willing to acknowledge existed in the first place. Worse was to follow. December 2022: “Dyson’s hellish-looking air-purifying heads
