Among the list of soul-crushing problems we have to deal with in a corona-infested world, inserting the charging cable into the end of your phone probably doesn’t make the top five. Even so, why bother, if you have an iPhone or Android phone with wireless charging built in? There’s no convenience quite like having a charging stand on your bedstand …

There’s a buzz around gaming accessory maker Whirlwind FX these days. The company’s Element keyboard is taking interactivity to a whole new level — thanks to a library of game extensions, the keyboard’s per-key RGB lighting can react to what’s happening on the screen.

So many things to charge, so few easily accessible USB ports with which to charge them. Looking around my own desk, I’m counting not only my phone (natch), but also a smartwatch, a drone battery, a VR headset and two different pairs of wireless headphones. Granted, I have more tech gear than most folks, but you get the idea. Everything …

Gaming headsets can get seriously expensive, and it’s not hard to find headphones costing $300 or more. But do you need to spend that much money? Of course not, and the Plantronics Rig 400Hx is a great example of why. They sound good — much better than their modest price tag would imply. And right now, you can get the …

President Donald Trump on Sunday retweeted a video of an apparent supporter shouting “white power” and then deleted it about three hours later amid internet backlash.

As a longtime iPhone user (I know: not the expected choice for a cheapskate), I’m often envious of the hardware available on the Android side. Not only are there a lot more choices, there are a lot more affordable choices. Case in point: Today’s deal on the unlocked TCL 10 Pro, currently $381.65 at Amazon. That’s $68 off and the …
