When we think about creating a more sustainable future, the first things that come to mind are solar panels and electric cars. However, many people don't realize that there are other things you can do in your home to make your life greener and less wasteful. One way to do this is by installing smart thermostats and energy monitoring sensors in the home. This blog post will discuss why these devices are important for a more sustainable future and what parts of your home can be made more efficient by investing in these sensors.

While there are many options available for emulating classic games downloaded to your computer or other device as roms, few options exist for playing those games from the original cartriges and CDs. Polymega allows just that and also supports a modular system so you can play games from virtually all of the top classic game consoles including: NES, SNES, Genesis / 32X, and TurboGrafx 16.

Africa has millions of people without access to power and this means that less ideal cooking solutions have to be implemented which causes a major hazard. Thousands of deaths occur because of wood-stove accidents and it can all be prevented if they simply had access to modern cooking appliances that are sustained by electricity. BLUETTI is a company working hard to uplift the lives of Africans with incredible ambitions. They are shedding light on the subject and are pioneers of the solar industry!

I used to cook based on intuition and while as a man, I'm "expected" to be a knowledgeable grillmaster and prepared to cook all things meat related indoors and out. For the past year or so I've become absolutely addicted to using thermometers to measure my steaks, chicken, pork, even frozen food items that I prepare in my air-fryer. I thought that Meater was the ultimate wireless thermometer but the folks at MeatStick tell me theirs is better. Let's take a look!

Have you ever dreamed of not merely riding above the waves but being able to dive below them? Well then, you are in for a treat. Dutch submersible manufacturer, U-Boat Worx, has revealed the fastest addition yet to its already impressive fleet of models - the Super Sub. This appropriately named personal submarine can carry 3 people up to 300 meters below the surface and cruise at up to 8 knots underwater!

For most folks, planning a power station program - whether for your house during emergencies, or for an RV, boat, or vacation home, look to diesel or gasoline powered generators to fill up those batteries for later use. Thankfully though, solar technology is both coming down in price as well as becoming much more efficient. Plus, now you can even get portable solar panels that are easy to put out in the sun when you need them... and pack away when you don't.

Xiaomi is one of the most exciting Chinese electronics manufacturing companies that most Americans have never heard of. In Asia they have built a massive customer base because of their attention to detail, innovative designs, and by listening to their customer feedback so that "customers" are more than just purchasers. Instead, in many cases the customer feedback actually helps direct product development and what features to include in future products. Now, with the introduction next month of the Roidmi Eve Plus, we're excited to see what they have in store for us.

What is obd2? The term OBD2 - also written as OBDII - stands for on-board diagnostics, second generation. obd2 code readers are used to diagnose an automobile's systems and components as well as the emissions system. obd2 scanners come in a variety of makes and models, but they all have one thing in common: they do not require a computer or any other additional equipment to read codes from your vehicle's engine control unit (ecu) that can be stored in its memory.

There are a lot of options on the market right now when it comes to ANC earbuds and that is a great thing for those of you who are looking to ditch traditional wired ones. This is especially important as I think we're finally past the point where we wonder if a new phone might bring back the option of allowing wired audio. Even the new IFE systems being installed on United Airlines is supporting Bluetooth audio now. Luckily all of the arguments against wireless earbuds are gone at this point and xFyro is a great example of how you can get good quality audio, well manufactured, good battery life, and great features at an affordable price. Let's take a deeper look.

This post is not sponsored, though the PR rep for UAG did offer me a couple cases to test out, my thoughts and feelings towards Urban Armor Gear are sincere. My relationship with UAG has evolved over the past 6+ years across a variety of different phones and I have always been very impressed. A few months ago when I decided to buy the most expensive phone that I have ever considered buying, I knew there was only one brand that I could choose to protect it.

With summer underway and the Fourth of July holiday just around the corner, it’s time to think about all those fun, smart gadgets that make summer entertaining more exciting. From connected grills and smokers to lights, music, and outdoor movies, the one thing these all have in common is the need for fast, reliable internet like the connection I have from Cox Communications.

As we begin to get back into the routine of traveling again, I'm constantly looking for ways to improve on what it was like a year ago before we all had to stop. For a decade prior to that I was traveling so frequently that I simply didn't have a chance to try new things if the old way "worked". Now however, I'm absolutely obsessed with wireless chargers and how far the technology has come. RapidX sent over a few items for us to test out and we're even giving some of them away, so make sure to read down to the end of the article to see how you can win one of the items featured in this roundup.

As more people watch professional video game streamers on YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook, it's only logical to be able to want to do it themselves. The unfortunate reality though is that most of us will never have both the skill and personality to compel someone to watch and so I'm forced to find another justification for a device like the EVGA XR1 Video Capture Device. It might be just the excuse that makes you able to justify the purchase though!

About five years ago I first met with the folks at AfterShokz at CES. In a sea of gadgets and gizmos they stood out then, and for some reason few have followed in their footsteps by developing bone conduction stereo headphones since that time. One of the important segments that they were not competing in though was a headset with an attached microphone. While call center workers have experienced the frustration of wearing a headset for hours at a time... it was 2020 that showed millions of people around the world how frustrating it can be to have something stuck in your ear for hours at a time.

Malboro & Kane created Claw - the "World's Smallest Multitool" but they are back now with Claw 2.0 and I gotta say that this new one is a pretty awesome design that will fit perfectly on a keychain. Let's take a look at what makes Claw 2.0 a great example of innovation that you can support on Kickstarter...

Designed for all types of gamers and engineered to conveniently fit in your bedroom or game room, the Project Brooklyn gaming chair concept design transforms from an ergonomic gaming chair into a full-fledged entertainment powerhouse that delivers breathtaking, next-gen immersion for both PC and console gaming.

I've been using the Dynabook Portege X30L laptop for a few months now. It was initially something that they sent me to try out with working remotely - at the beach, in the car, and even under an apple tree where I spent many Friday's this fall escaping the heat downtown. In a normal world, a laptop like this would be a boon for travelers but even now as I am spending more time inside, I'm sort of loving how light and compact the laptop is.

Every cook needs a good set of dishes as well as bakeware to prepare the perfect meal. For me, I've searched for a good, lightweight, classic simple set and I finally found it. The Luminarc Smart Cuisine Baker's Essentials set that they sent me for this review is exactly what I've been looking for.

I must admit that I was a bit skeptical of the TWS1 earbuds when they were still being shipped to my house. I hadn't heard of Edifier before so I was ready to write this set of headphones off as just another cheap cash grab. However, upon their arrival, I can happily admit that I was wrong. The TWS1 earbuds provide an excellent range of features that maintain consistent quality throughout. At this price point, these true wireless headphones are well worth considering.

The AU-Stream Hybrid Wireless noise cancelling earbuds offer a compact and comfortable option for those on the go where reducing noise instead of simply increasing volume is a key concern.
