Having to plug your phone in every night probably bums you out. Near-field wireless chargers like the ones Samsung sells are cool, but short-range. Like, the phone has to be sitting on the plate, at which point, you could just plug it in. And while some science is out there that says devices might be able to harvest electricity from ambient Wi-Fi, that just doesn't provide enough power. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ecovacs Deebot M81 Pro Review: A Good Robovac You Can...

What"s New ·

2018/02/28

For the first week that I ran the Ecovacs Deebot M81 Pro, I kept finding it knocked off its base, its battery uncharged. It was aggravating, and mystifying. What could be happening? I’ve been testing robot vacuums for months by plugging them into this one location. After a day of observation, I figured out the problem. My eight-month-old son was crawling over to the botvac, and turning it on and off by slapping the glowing blue button. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Google Clips Review: An AI-Powered Camera for Fun...

What"s New ·

2018/02/28

The newest gadget from Google is a camera. Though I admit, calling the pocket-sized Clips just a camera feels incomplete. Yes, it has a lens and a battery and it captures videos, but everything else about it is unique. You don't tap a shutter button or give it any command to take a picture or shoot a video. You just turn it on (by twisting its lens like a knob), set it down, and point it at whatever humans or pets are nearby. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

4 Best Cheap Android And iOS Phones Under $500

What"s New ·

2018/02/27

Smartphones are ridiculously expensive, and U.S. wireless carriers like T-Mobile and Verizon go out of their way to make them seem affordable. I mean, why not buy a $950 Galaxy Note 8 if you only have to pay $0 down and $30 a month for it? Let me list the reasons why: you’re still wasting hundreds of dollars you could use to buy or save for something else that may add value to your life. Learn more about your ad choices.

The worst part about the end of February? We've had months and months of winter, with more grimly cold and slushy weather to come. But the best part about February is that boutique outdoor retailers like Huckberry are now putting a ton of cold-weather gear on sale, while you still have plenty of wet, chilly, or windy weather to enjoy it. Here are our picks from Huckberry's winter clearance sale. Once upon a time, you had to buy pants for working and pants for playing. Learn more about your ad

There's No One Way to Explain How Flying Works

2018/02/23

Let's be clear—airplanes are complicated. Sure, it's entirely possible to get a piece of paper and fold it in a particular way so that it flies. But the physics of flight isn't trivial. It's even harder to give an explanation of the forces on a flying aircraft in a short video—which is what I did with my recent WIRED video on the physics of flying. Learn more about your ad choices.

Airlines Won’t Dare Use the Fastest Way to Board Planes

2018/02/23

Maybe you don’t think you and your favorite airline agree on anything: on how much room an adult human requires, on what counts as food, or on how much it should cost for a soothing, tiny bottle of wine. But surely you agree on at least one point: People take way too long getting to their seats. For passengers, the cumbersome boarding process—watching people insist that yes, this bag will fit in the overhead bin, it has before!—means more time spent jammed in a too-small seat.

Review: Honor 7X (Unlocked): You Get What You Pay For

2018/02/22

For the last few years, every major U.S. wireless carrier has begun letting you buy any phone for $0 down with two years of monthly payments. It’s a tempting offer, but a bad habit you should try to kick. Paying for your phone over two years makes it easy to overspend, dulling the pain you should feel when you buy a $800+ phone. It also probably means you bought your phone from a wireless carrier that locks it down, refusing to give you the freedom to use it on other networks.Learn more about your

We've all had smartphones for the better part of a decade, yet their prices just seem to keep climbing. High-end phones seem to cost $800+ now. Don't let a monthly payment plan fool you, that's a ton of money for a device that likely won't last you more than two years. There are some Android phones under $500 that do the trick, but performance gets mucky when you wade into the $200 - $300 price—which is exactly the kind of the price we wish we were all paying for these devices.

Luge looks silly. It looks easy, too: lie down on a sled, let gravity do the work, climb the podium. In reality, of course, luge is fascinatingly complex. And, as American Emily Sweeney’s brutal crash this week made clear, it's dangerous too. A good start is crucial (that’s where the gloves with little spikes on the fingertips come in). The rule of thumb says every 1/100th of a second you lose up top compounds to 1/10th of a second by the end of the run. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

The world of smart speakers is beginning to fan out. A year or two ago, Google Home and Amazon’s Echo were your only choices. Now, there are more than a dozen competitors, and they're growing more diverse all the time. Every major voice assistant has a speaker now. Even Siri has the HomePod and Cortana has the Invoke. Amazon is still the alpha of this pack, though, inside more devices than any other voice assistant. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Spectra S1 Review: A Nearly-Perfect Breast Pump

For years, Medela has ruled, undisputed, over Breast Pump Land. If you have to pump in the hospital, the nurses will likely wheel in a Medela pump. When you call in your free pump from your insurer, it will probably be a Medela pump. I know, because I’ve had two kids in three years and every single time I’ve needed a breast pump, a Medela one has appeared. But that’s changing. In lactation rooms and in parenting newsletters, a new pump has arrived. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Most of my friends are musicians or audio nerds. (Lord help me.) Ever since Apple loaned me a HomePod to test a week ago, I've been bragging to my peers that I have the new, highly anticipated Wi-Fi speaker at the house. All of them quickly ask me the same thing: Does it sound good? I think that question is incomplete. Sure, the HomePod sounds really terrific, and it's a good purchase if you want a speaker that just plays music. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

When I was growing up, watching TV was something even my grandparents had figured out. You picked up the TV remote, and surfed to the channel you wanted to watch. But, times have changed. If you’re like me, you watch most of your TV through Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and a dozen other video apps, and probably have another box, maybe a Roku or Apple TV, with yet another remote control—maybe a remote for your soundbar.
