I didn’t expect this I didn’t plan on liking this controller. It showed up because I needed another option. That’s it. In my house, that means one thing – it’s about to get tested hard. Three kids. Constant rotation. Nobody treats controllers like they cost money. So yeah. You could say expectations were low. Then…
I’ve been around long enough to know when a console price feels off. The Nintendo Switch 2 hits that feeling right away. Not because it’s a bad device or because it lacks power. But because it misses the core reason the original Switch worked so well. This isn’t about specs. It’s about positioning. And right…
A year ago, I talked about ExpressVPN as a privacy tool that felt necessary. Heading into 2026, it feels less like a “nice to have” and more like basic digital hygiene. The threats have evolved, the tracking has gotten smarter, and ExpressVPN has quietly added a few things that make it feel more complete than…
Every year I question it. Do I really “need” antivirus again. Can’t I just get a free option? I used to do this. Why do I feel the pressure to pay for a product when there are sometimes free options? Then I read the scams. I read how quickly my voice could be stolen to…
I’m a robot vacuum fanatic. I love them. Nothing makes me feel better about the end of my day than watching these incredible machines go to work cleaning the floor my family destroyed during the day. It is a huge relief. Reality is – these vac/mop combos are getting better and better, but they aren’t…
When I unbox the Vulcan II TKL, I immediately like what I see. The brushed aluminum top plate gives it a clean, solid feel. A feel that’s kind of minimal, desk-space-saving aesthetic that whispers, “I’m serious about gaming. Yet, I also want a no-nonsense setup.” It’s tenkeyless, so the number pad is gone, and that…
When I first got my hands on the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded (Xbox version), I could tell right away this wasn’t just another third-party controller – like most Turtle Beach owned products – it’s a piece of hardware built for players who live and breathe competitive gaming. It feels fast. It screams responsiveness. The triggers…
I’ve used Roombas on and off for years. While they’ve gotten the job done on a basic level, I’ve always felt like I was babysitting them – constant emptying issues, clearing jammed brushes, and wondering why they missed obvious messes. The Roomba just hasn’t delivered the power or the intelligence I need in a busy…
Turtle Beach sent over their new Airlite Fit wired headset for Nintendo Switch 2, and after a few weeks of testing it across flights, road trips, and late-night sessions, I’ve come away mostly impressed. It’s not flashy. It’s not loaded with bells and whistles. But it nails the one thing the Switch 2 needs in…
I don’t do gentle cooks. When I test a thermometer, I take it through fire. That’s exactly what I did with the Chef’s Temp Pro Temp Plus. First up was a reverse-seared tri-tip—low and slow to start, then blasted at 500°F to lock in that crust. The needle probe never blinked. Even in the searing…
