How portable do you really need? Pretty much every projector is "portable" to some degree. Many of the projectors on the best projector list, for example, are small enough to fit in a backpack. They might fill that backpack, but that's their size. If you just want something for the occasional movie night, one of those would be significantly brighter and create a better image.

Recession risks are down, but keep your guard up. Getty Images/Jeffrey Hazelwood/CNET Early this spring, talk of a recession swirled after President Donald Trump began his chaotic tariff campaign. The likelihood of a severe economic downturn hit 66%, according to Polymarket. As Trump deferred some of his most aggressive trade proposals, those forecasts leveled out, but the contours of a potential recession are hard to ignore. Growth in the first quarter of 2025? Down.

Do Contact Lenses Expire? Everything Eye Doctors Want You to Know About Replacing Your Contacts

If you wear contact lenses, you probably don't think much about them. But they're a relatively new invention -- in fact, the first disposable contact lens wasn't introduced until 1982. "We think of contact lenses as being so normal, but 100 years ago, nobody walked around with little pieces of plastic over their eyes," says ophthalmologist Dr. Robert Kinast, the vice chair of ophthalmology at Legacy Devers Eye Institute and co-founder of GentleDrop.
