As long as antigravity never becomes a real thing, I predict that drones are unlikely to go out of style anytime soon. For geeks who grew up loving everything about aircraft, flying and gadgets, drones tick all the boxes. They’re easy to fly, they can shoot virtually cinema-quality video and they are an excellent hobby …

Get Canon’s portable P
The first time I can remember hearing the term “paperless office” was back around 1990. We’ve come a long way, 30 years later, but we still need to print and scan documents with distressing regularity. If you’re working from home these days, you might resort to clumsily using your phone’s camera to “scan” documents. And with the revised tax day, …

If you’re shopping for new headphones, you owe it to yourself to get a pair with active noise canceling. The days of headphones without ANC are over — you wouldn’t buy a black-and-white TV or a car without automatic windows, would you? You can find good noise canceling at virtually any price these days, but one of the better headphones …

It’s no secret that we love Roku — the interface and streaming channel selection are second to none, and there’s a version of Roku for every need and budget. Surprisingly, one of the best Roku models is also one of the oldest still in the lineup: The Roku Streaming Stick Plus, which got five stars and a CNET Editors’ Choice …
Read More »The Vizio PX
When CNET’s David Katzmaier reviewed the Vizio P-Series Quantum X last year, it distinguished itself as a superb TV with an outstanding picture that just happened to cost hundreds less than OLED equivalent models. That certainly got my attention because, while OLED will admittedly outperform this PX, it won’t run rings around it. The differences are marginal enough that you …

Though the OnePlus 6T is the brand’s ninth phone and has a great assortment of features, it typically sells for a modest price between $350 and $550.

Remember that sepia-toned retro-future past when we used to make hot dogs with a specialty toaster that prepared the buns and dog at the same time? Me neither, because that never happened. But retro hot dog toasters are charming in a pop-art sort of way nonetheless. The only downside? Who wants to spend $30 on a kitschy single-use hot dog …

There are pros and cons to working from home. Pro: No commute and a better work-life balance. Con: Finding remote work can be difficult, in part because traditional career services and job boards haven’t quite caught up yet with the flex-work lifestyle. Flexjobs is a little different. It specializes in the remote and flexible job search market. An annual subscription …

If you’re like me, maybe you didn’t even realize your laptop didn’t have a webcam built in until your first pandemic-era Zoom call from home. That’s right — it turns out that a lot of modern laptops skip the webcam entirely, or install such a terrible one that it’s barely usable. If you need to snag a webcam for this …
