Anker MagGo Foldable 3-in-1 Charger Is Now at All-Time Low on Amazon, Limited Stock Going Fast

Charging your phone and all the other tech items you use on a daily basis can be one of the clunkiest parts of your day. You’re typically having to juggle cables, trying to find the right port in the dark, or dealing with a charger that mysteriously stops working mid-charge. And it’s super annoying. No one wants to put themselves through all that just to juice their phone back up to a full charge. And no one should have to. Not when multitasking chargers like this one are on offer. See at Amazo

Smart tires will report on the health of roads in new pilot program

Do you remember the Pirelli Cyber Tire? No, it's not an angular nightmare clad in stainless steel. Rather, it's a sensor-equipped tire that can inform the car it's fitted to what's happening, both with the tire itself and the road it's passing over. The technology has slowly been making its way into the real world, starting with rarified stuff like the McLaren Artura. Now, Pirelli is going to put some Cyber Tires to work for everybody, not just supercar drivers, in a new pilot program with the r

Best Merino Wool T-Shirts (2025), Tried On and Tested

We are talking about $80 (or more) T-shirts here, so this is valid question. I think merino T-shirts are worth the investment. They offer considerable benefits over cotton and other natural fibers, as well as synthetics. Merino offers great temperature regulation, excellent moisture wicking, and they don't smell, which means you can wear them more and don't need as many of them. Three merino T-shirts in your wardrobe will last you as many days as 10 cotton shirts, so from a financial angle it's

Razer’s new mobile controller can stretch wide enough to fit an iPad Pro

The iPad Mini is no longer the biggest tablet you can fit into a mobile gaming controller (without breaking it a little). Razer’s new $199.99 Kishi V3 Pro XL can accommodate a 13-inch iPad or Android tablet that uses a USB-C connector. It’s like Razer’s 2013 Edge, in spirit at least. My 10.9-inch iPad Air is a cinch to fit inside of the Kishi V3 Pro XL, and having even this large of a screen to play on is a treat. How could it not be? Not only that, its speakers sound fantastic for playing game

Dragon Age: Veilguard development struggled after EA forced, then reversed live-service shift

In brief: Dragon Age: The Veilguard's legacy will likely be as the game that ended the once-beloved franchise. While it wasn't a disaster, Veilguard attracted around half the number of players EA expected, leading to mass layoffs and the company's share price falling. Now, a report has shed some light on what happened: Veilguard became a money-making live-service game during development before pivoting back to a single-player title. According to a report by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, Veilguard

I tested a Eufy robot vacuum with a built-in handheld vac - and it just dropped to 42% off

ZDNET's key takeaways The Eufy Clean E20 3-in-1 robot vacuum and handheld vacuum combination costs $650. The Eufy E20 performed very well in suction testing; it offers up to 8,000Pa of suction power and thorough edge cleaning; the robot vacuum's dustbin doubles as a handheld vacuum that includes a floor attachment and a crevice tool. Unfortunately, the handheld vacuum doesn't offer powerful suction like that of a standalone unit like a Dyson, and removing it from the robot isn't easy with one
