The Dyson PencilVac is finally available and costs $600

The Dyson PencilVac stick vacuum is finally available for purchase in the US after being revealed in the first half of last year. It costs $600.

The Switch 2's Virtual Boy is a tribute to Nintendo's wackiest console

Even in 2026, VR still feels like tech that isn't quite ready for prime time. When Nintendo released the original Virtual Boy way back in 1995, it was hard for my 10-year-old brain to comprehend a 3D console with a bipod, a facemask and a monochrome red display. Then, when you factor in weak sales that led to the system being discontinued after only a year, you end up with... Read more

Los Angeles aims to ban single-use printer cartridges — new ordinance will target ink and toner that can't be properly recycled

Aside from being weirdly malevolent, printer cartridges are quite wasteful in most situations because they're designed to be thrown away once empty.
