The MagGo wireless charging pad is available in black (shown here) or white. | Image: Anker I’ve probably saved minutes of my life by using a wireless charging puck. Minutes! More valuable than that, I’ve saved myself from bending over numerous times to pick up my USB-C cable that somehow always ends up on the floor. Those with magnet-equipped phones (like the iPhone 12 or newer, or a...
Apple Music: "What do you want to hear?" Me: "Atmospheric instrumental black metal to write to." Apple Music: "Here's three metal songs with vocals, a field recording, an ambient electronic track, and a piece of doom jazz." I am skeptical of AI's ability to serve up the music I want to begin with, but even I was caught slightly off guard by how underwhelming Apple's new Playlist...
There’s more good stuff to watch than ever — if you can afford it. | Image: Amazon Death. Taxes. All your streaming services getting a little more expensive all the time. These are the new certainties in life, it seems. Netflix has raised the cost of its subscription repeatedly in recent years. Disney Plus, Prime Video, HBO Max, Paramount Plus, Peacock — practically any service you can...

Search Live rolled out broadly in the US last September, allowing you to point your phone's camera at something...
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale has delivered discounts on wearables like the latest Apple Watch SE 3 and Fitbit’s Charge 6. But they’re not exactly cheap even though they’re on sale.

Fitbit Inspire 3 Where to Buy: $99.95 $69.95 at Amazon $99.95 $69....
It's a weird time for Xbox, with a big leadership shakeup that has many wondering what the future of the platform looks like, and what exactly it stands for. In the meantime, though, Microsoft is forging ahead with announcements, and it just wrapped up its latest Partner Preview event, focused on upcoming titles from third-party developers. (A similar event for Xbox Studios releases...
We hardly knew ye. I was ready to give up on the Galaxy Z TriFold. We had a strong case for getting a refund from the eBay seller - they'd claimed it was the version sold in Taiwan, but the phone that arrived at my door came with a Chinese serial number. That meant no Google services and lots of unfamiliar apps all requesting sensitive permissions. It was weird. Better off just sending this...
Govee’s good-sounding speaker / smart lamp hybrid can brighten your space with millions of colors. | Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge Speaking from experience, better lighting can completely change how a space feels.
