It seems that Best Buy has a blowout 3-day sale more or less every weekend. But even during weeks when there are no advertised 3-day sale, there are still deals to be had. This weekend, for example, there are a bunch of discounts on electronics as diverse as convertible tablets, TVs, routers and smartwatches. We pulled together some of the …

I love wireless charging pads, but I can never seem to find the right one for me, with the proper combination of charging coils for my office desk and bedroom. More to the point, my needs sometimes change, and perhaps I don’t want a watch charger taking up valuable desk space anymore when the one in the bedroom will do. …

Before I actually got my hands on an LED light strip, I thought they were vaguely ridiculous. I couldn’t imagine what practical use it would serve, and it seemed like one of those examples of a product that exists because a factory somewhere had a surplus of LEDs and had to invent a product that would use them.

Traditional label-makers are clumsy and annoying, but I love compact thermal printers designed for labeling. The Aibecy Label Maker, for …

Even if you’re someone who only casually watches the Oscars, Sunday night’s 93rd Academy Awards should be pretty exciting. After being delayed for a few months (they’re typically held in February), the rules are also different — this year more movies are eligible, including films released straight to streaming platforms. And if you have Oscar fever, the remedy isn’t more …

We’re finally headed into spring after a winter that was pretty rough for a lot of people, and it’s been a visceral reminder that we need to be prepared for all manner of weather emergencies — including power failures. A while back I told you about a $75-off deal on a massive 500-watt-hour power station from Raptic, and that deal …

Some people think of gift cards as a lazy gift. Naysayers say it’s akin to giving someone a boxful of cash so you don’t need to put any effort into thinking of a personal, thoughtful gift.
