Related notifications are also now grouped, and…
Black Friday came and went, but Amazon continues pushing deals on premium brands throughout December which happens to be its biggest sales month of the year. The Dyson V11 Origin currently sits at $399 instead of its usual $629 which is a record low on this cordless vacuum that brings serious suction power to your cleaning routine. This model delivers 185 air watts of power across three modes, and handles both quick daily cleanups and deep weekend cleaning sessions. Over 40,000 units sold in the past month as people realize Dyson’s engineering justifies the premium over budget stick vacuums that…
The celebrity comet 3I/ATLAS is showing itself out of our solar system for good — but not before the cosmic paparazzi at Earth’s space agencies snap some of the clearest photos of it yet.Discovered in late June and confirmed to be the third known interstellar object in July, 3I/ATLAS has spent the past several months zooming through the inner solar system at an estimated 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h). The massive, jet-spewing snowball made its closest approaches to Mars and the sun in October. It is due for its closest encounter with Earth on Dec. 19, when it will be about…
The coffee gadget market has caused a massive proliferation of devices for all tastes, preferences, and budgets, but it’s still easy enough to divide them into a handful of tiers when you consider what kind of gift each would make.The lowest tier contains cheap machines one would buy as a housewarming present for a friend or relative’s third or fourth property, like a timeshare in the country or a freshly christened yacht. The second-lowest is a mandatory gift for someone you don’t know well or care for very much, such as the wedding of a distant cousin or former nemesis.…
Yes, we talked about DDR5 pricing a lot, again. But we also talked about a very special Intel 18A customer, one billion PCs screaming out in pain (it’s a metaphor!), AMD CPU / GPU pricing trends, ASUS router vulnerabilities (again), alternatives to Windows for playing games which includes playing web based old console games. It’s a thing. Also, we virtually pour one out for Crucial (Micron). We must thank our Patreon members, because without you … we would be gone. New folks and current ones that are bumping their patronage are greatly appreciated. This show cannot go on without you…
Amazon keeps its prices low on Alexa-enabled speakers all year long and the Echo Dot is a great choice because it is in the middle of the lineup between basic and premium options. This model is the best-selling one in the Echo family right now, and it’s only $31 instead of the usual $49 for early December. The small speaker has surprisingly rich sound that fills bedrooms, offices, or dining rooms without taking up too much counter space or needing a lot of setup. See at Amazon Why This Echo Dot Sounds Better Than You Thought The speaker design is…
Over the course of several hours and a few dozen trail miles, I had little to say about the Deflectr RLS, which is precisely what you want in a bike helmet. In other words, when a bike helmet is well made, it’s something you should forget is there.Other than the odd choice of strap (which, as I mentioned, I got over quickly), the only knock I have is how the Deflectr RLS is, as of this writing, only offered in one of two color options: matte black or metallic olive. While those are both cool and all, those of us…
Archaeologists digging at a Mesoamerican site in Mexico have discovered an unusual, cube-shaped human skull. It is the first evidence that people in this area practiced a unique form of head-shaping, scientifically known as cranial modification, around 1,400 years ago.The skull was unearthed near the archaeological site of Balcón de Montezuma (Balcony of Montezuma) in the east-central Mexican state of Tamaulipas. Various Mesoamerican ethnic groups lived in the area between 650 B.C. and A.D. 1200. Around A.D. 400, a village sprang up, eventually encompassing around 90 circular houses in two plazas, according to the Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and…
