Is It Cheaper to Make Your Own Soda? AccordionItemContainerButton LargeChevron Photograph: Matthew Korfhage Bubbling up your own water is convenient, it saves space, and it's by far the most eco-friendly option, versus stacking up cases of sparkling bottles in your fridge. But it's probably not cheaper. Aside from the initial cost of the machine, you'll need to continue to replenish CO 2 canisters.

9 Best Cat Water Fountains, WIRED Tested and Reviewed (2025)

Others We Tested Petkit Eversweet Max for $80: This tech-y automatic fountain can be either cordless or battery-powered (lasting up to 83 days), and the drinking bowl is made of stainless steel, but the reservoir is plastic. Because of the shape of the basin with the chunky battery and reservoir bowl, it’s a little awkward to clean.

This New Watch Is Being Purpose-Built for Space Exploration—and It's Not an Omega

wired.com Chris Hall 2025-08-30 17:00:00

When you think of space exploration and watches, one name immediately comes to mind: Omega. Since its Speedmaster chronograph was selected by NASA half a century ago it has become synonymous with space travel. The timing of a 13-second engine burn to save Apollo 13 cemented its role in space history, and Omega has not missed a single opportunity to deepen the partnership, from officially naming it the Moonwatch to creating endless commemorative limited editions (even if it is by no means the onl

Bunny Watson’s view was not uncommon during the first decade of computing technology. Thomas Watson Sr., president of IBM, insisted that one of his firm’s first machines be called a “calculator” instead of a “computer” because “he was concerned that the latter term, which had always referred to a human being, would raise the specter of technological unemployment,” according to historians Martin Campbell-Kelly and William Aspray.
