A song can be an “oldie but goodie,” but what about a speaker? That’s how I’m tempted to describe the JBL Flip 4, which hit the scene about three years ago but is still a perfectly good product — a borderline great one, in fact. Price back then: $100. Price right now: For a limited …

I’ve dipped a few toes into the podcasting world, and I can tell you two of the biggest pain points: Finding web hosting for the show and distributing it to various platforms (Apple Podcasts, TuneIn and so on).

You know this: Before you spend $249 on Apple’s AirPods Pro, you owe it to yourself (and your wallet) to investigate less expensive alternatives. They’re out there, many of them great.

“Flagship phone” is code for “crazy-expensive phone.” Witness the latest models from the likes of Apple and Samsung, many of them priced as high as $1,000 or more. Few companies are able to effectively compete in this space, but kudos to LG for trying. The company’s G8 ThinQ arrived on the scene last year with a decidedly flagshippy price of …

Qi wireless charging pads are cropping up in the craziest places. End tables, desk lamps… even picture frames. And why not a picture frame? You already keep a photo of the family, the dog or whatever on your desk; why not let it pull double duty? That’s the idea behind the Twelve South PowerPic, a product that’s totally unnecessary but …
