Over the course of nearly a decade, my husband and I have dutifully carried out a four-times-daily ritual of feeding a pair of lovely cat siblings who hate each other. This was mostly manageable for years, but in 2024, disaster struck for my small dependents: We had a child. Suddenly, the cats were no longer […]
My cat Pablo is a voluptuous boy. His primordial pouch, originally thought to protect cats’ squishy insides, hangs low and wobbles to and fro. Once, when he was five or six, a vet sternly sat my spouse and me down, gravely stating, “He’s simply too young to be this fat.” Pablo didn’t care, but we […]
After collaborating with 8BitDo on a gamepad two years ago, Genki launched the first controller the company designed from the ground up today. With an unorthodox design that positions its thumbsticks and buttons above a large 2.9-inch LCD screen, the Manta looks a lot chunkier than competing controllers. But what really sets it apart is […]

Is Amp Crash a guitar amp or a guitar pedal? Yes. Death By Audio’s latest is, in fact, both. While it’s in a guitar pedal enclosure, Amp Crash is actually a tiny 3-watt amp hooked up to a 2-inch speaker. You can even connect an external speaker if you want. This isn’t a digital re-creation […]
Even if you love DJI’s drones and cameras, you might not love the company’s bloated closed-source apps that phone home to its cloud servers. But they’re the only way to easily review, manage, and wirelessly download your pocket camera’s footage on the go. Osmosis, a free open-source app built by DJI watcher Konrad Iturbe (with […]
In August, Toru Hinkle was stocking shelves at their job at Target when they noticed two customers and asked if they needed any help. The men requested a price check on an item – but even after Hinkle told them the item was $20, the customers asked for the price again and again. “After a […]
My two cats live a refreshingly low-tech lifestyle. They’ve never experienced a robot litter box, an automated feeder, or a GPS tracker. Noodle and Loaf live blissfully unaware of the technological trappings that surround the rest of my life. Except, that is, for the glowing neon sign that turns on whenever they go to the […]
