DJI is a major player in the camera market with its drones and gimbals, so why hasn’t it had the same success with action cams? The answer is simple: GoPro. The company’s Hero lineup has offered superior image quality and stabilization. The same goes for Insta360’s action cams, which have caught the public’s imagination. Now, DJI’s taking another shot at its rivals with the $350 Osmo Action 5 Pro, which... Read more ›

Color E Ink displays aren’t novel: we’ve tested and reviewed a number of color ereaders and E Ink tablets from... Read more ›

While cooking things like chicken, potatoes or veggies, I am often simultaneously waxing poetic about the brief period in my life that I owned an air fryer. It just makes everything easier while still creating really good quality food. Now I'm tempted to get back on the air fryer train thanks to a big sale on Ninja's DZ550 Air Fryer. The model is currently available in an early Black Friday... Read more ›

Over the last four years, the Biden administration’s antitrust efforts have been notable by their sheer number, with ongoing cases against Apple, Meta, Google and Amazon — as well as sparring with tech-adjacent players like Ticketmaster. Biden’s team has pushed to prevent giant mergers, increase competition and punish companies (however lightly) for unfair business practices. So how about your next president? We compare Kamala Harris (who seems less aggressive on... Read more ›
