There’s a popular idea floating around the internet that sooner or later, every man in his twenties or thirties ends up buying some gadget or toy he either owned or desperately wanted as a kid. I chuckled when I first heard that—until it hit me that I’d become a perfect example. This year, I fell …
Apple might stay silent on rumors about its upcoming products, but that doesn’t stop its competitors from weighing in. The iPhone 17 series has been circulating in tech news with speculation that it might borrow some design cues from Google’s Pixel lineup—specifically, the camera bar. And it looks like Google has decided to have a …
It’s basically a Cybertruck—just marginally easier on the eyes.Let’s be real: Tesla’s boxy, oversized electric pickup has been the target of endless jokes since day one. Who could forget the debut when those “bulletproof” windows shattered on live TV? The last thing anyone seemed to need was another vehicle aping the Cybertruck’s polarizing design. So …
Depending on who you ask, Elon Musk gets hailed as a “genius inventor”—but when it comes to naming his creations, he’s never been a standout.

I’ll admit it—TikTok’s weirdly addictive pull, even with all its mindless, time-sucking content, gets to me too. But buried under the endless viral memes, annoying influencers, and overhyped trends is something far worse: the shameless peddling of random merch. One minute it’s sticky bras, the next it’s Stanley cups—there’s always some “must-have” item taking over …
Most gaming fans have been diving into their brand-new Nintendo Switch 2s this month, but I’ve been counting down to something way different: a handheld that, to my mild horror (since it’s a total reminder of how old I am), just turned 20. I’m talking about the Sony PSP—the device I was obsessed with as …
Scoring a brand-new office chair sounds great—and it is, for the most part. Sure, there are duds out there, but if you’ve got a solid guide to help you pick a good ergonomic option, you’ll probably be sitting comfortably in no time. Here’s the thing, though: unless you’re splurging on a high-end Herman Miller (which …
Steve Jobs nostalgia has been everywhere lately—with critics arguing he’d never sign off on Apple’s Liquid Glass UI, and fans debating how he’d view the company today. We’ll never know his true thoughts, but for anyone craving a dose of early-2000s comfort, accessory brand Spigen just dropped the perfect throwback. The tech accessory maker has …
