Until recently, my smart home setup was in chaos. After years of testing, buying, and upgrading to the latest smart home gadgets in an attempt to make my life easier, it became a bloated mess that was actually making it more complicated.My Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home apps were awash with dead devices, duplicates, and automations that simply didn’t work. My Hue Bridge, trying desperately to tie it all together, was creaking at the seams. And the more advanced platforms I hadn’t quite committed to, such as Homey and SmartThings, were fighting each other for bandwidth on an already…

Clamshell foldables are awesome! You get all the smartphone features that normal non-foldable phones offer, but when it’s time to return your fancy device back in your pocket, you just fold it in half, giving you an extremely compact gadget that you’ll hardly notice is there.Of course, living the foldable lifestyle also has its disadvantages. For instance, you’ll need to unfold the phone almost every time when you need it for more serious tasks than just checking the time. But you get used to it. The other disadvantage, though, is that you usually have to shell out quite a bit…
Body scales—like dietary supplements—should be a request, not a surprise; I would only gift one if they’ve explicitly said they want one. Nevertheless, this is for the gym rat who tracks macros in their sleep. If they’re logging every rep, meal, and REM cycle, they’ll love the Runstar FG2015 Smart Scale. Unlike a standard foot-only scale, this one has a retractable handle with electrodes that scan your whole body and analyze muscle mass, water weight, and visceral fat. Does that average person need that level of detail? No, but if they’re bodybuilding, bulking, or just like to boast about their…

If not for snippets of gameplay, Dispatch would simply be a great TV show that I would want to tune into every week. It sometimes feels like it skews a little bit too much toward its TV show inspirations, but superb writing and voice acting maintains investment in this…

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine.Sip a glass of wine, and you will notice liquid continuously weeping down the wetted side of the glass. In 1855, James Thomson, brother of Lord Kelvin, explained in the Philosophical Magazine that these wine “tears” or “legs” result from the difference in surface tension between alcohol and water. “This fact affords an explanation of several very curious motions,” Thomson wrote. Little did he realize that the same effect, later named the Marangoni effect, might also shape how embryos develop.In March, a group of biophysicists in France reported that the Marangoni…
