This charger needs to be in my life. It’s tiny. The new Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1 offers 30w charging in a package the size of a phone charger. It’s basically a 1.5-inch cube — if the plugs are ignored, of course. And it’s only $30. Even with the small size, the Atom PD1 offers […]


This wireless charging alarm clock from Anker looks pretty nice

Jan 08, 3:00AM

I have an Echo Spot by my bed right now, and I feel kind of weird about it. Have a camera and microphone that close to where I sleep is probably not a great idea. This alarm clock from Anker, on the other hand, is something I can get behind. The Soundcore Wakey is actually […]

Ubtech shows off pair of humanoid robots at CES

Lenovo's new bluetooth travel speaker is 🔥🔥🔥

Jan 08, 1:00AM

It's hard to get excited about bluetooth speakers. Believe me, I've tried. But damn if this isn't a nice one.

CES is, at best, a mixed bag on the food front.
