A series of shallow grooves line either side of the case’s bottom half. These seem to mimic the side sculpts of some limited-run custom keyboards, and they have a functional purpose, making it easier to lift the keyboard. The design is mirrored in the aluminum knob in the top right corner, which has a similar…
The teeth were redesigned, the manufacturing process rewritten, and new machinery developed to attach the closure to garments. “The absence of the tape posed various production challenges,” Nishizaki says. “We had to develop new manufacturing equipment and a dedicated sewing machine for integration.” The result: a lighter, more flexible system that reduces material use and…
Vivo introduced the X300 series this week and this year the family is smaller – there’s no mid-sized vanilla model and no “Pro mini”, just the small X300 and the big X300 Pro. Okay, there is likely an Ultra model and an FE model in the pipeline, but there’s no denying that vivo streamlined its…
Why do we golf? We may never get good at it, and even when we cross some self-imposed pinnacle of proficiency we face near-infinite new challenges and a good chance of the dreaded backslide.

This thick and almost fragrance-free cream is meant to protect up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and reduce drying time, but my hair felt dried out after use. Function…
If you are looking to buy one of the new iPhones (or you already got one), you can’t have missed reports that the two Pro models are prone to scratching – apparently, it has something to do with how their aluminum chassis was anodized. And while the vanilla iPhone 17 is harder to scratch, it’s…
The four environmental modes can be of some help here, but the best in my experience was the default Comfort mode, which “reduces the sharpness of high-frequency sounds and overall intensity, creating a more comfortable, balanced listening experience.” The Atom X’s Conversation mode was too sharp for much use, while the Crowd and TV modes…
What do you want people to have now? Why wait for death to share things you want to share? For example, you might want to give people access to photos and videos.
