Weber Connect will be a useful tool for grillers of all skill levels

[ad_1] I’ve reviewed Traeger’s Timberline and Ironwood connected grills that allow you to control and monitor the machine remotely. The connectivity offered via that company’s WiFire tech is extremely useful, especially during longer cooks like a brisket or pork shoulder. Trager’s app has a massive library of recipes and you can automatically set grill temperature […]

After Math: All the stuff that happened while we were at CES

[ad_1] Finally, someone thought of the children. Unfortunately, it was the septuagenarians in Congress who had that thought. They want to raise the age limit governing when companies can begin collecting data on kids from 13 to 16 and modernize COPPA. While their intentions are probably honorable, I’m still old enough to remember the trainwreck […]

Samsung will launch its rugged XCover Pro worldwide

[ad_1] The new XCover is ostensibly built for workers, including walkie talkie-like voice chat (for apps like Microsoft Team), the ability to double as a point-of-sale device and two programmable buttons to handle common tasks without touching the screen. However, it might also be viable as a solid mid-range phone for anyone who wants a […]

Instagram’s Boomerang adds much-needed editing and effects tools

[ad_1] The rumors of Instagram spicing up Boomerang turned out to be true. It just introduced a host of creative tools, including an (arguably overdue) trimming feature. Much like the trim tool in your phone’s video editor, you can decide just where the animation loop starts and stops — no more re-recording a Boomerang or […]

Spectrum’s exit from home security leaves people with useless tech

[ad_1] A spokesperson told KSBY that Spectrum was bowing out of a business it “inherited” four years ago as a result of deals between Time Warner Cable and Bright House in 2016. It’s offering promotional deals from Abode or Ring (minus service subscriptions) as compensation. The company first alerted customers in December. It’s not offering […]

Thermaltake’s latest gaming headset works with Alexa and Razer Chroma

[ad_1] And yes, it’s supposed to perform well as a headset. Thermaltake touts “oversized” 50mm drivers, a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency range and the combination of an ESS ES9018 DAC and a SABRE9601K amplifier that reportedly help drive 24-bit/96kHz playback with a wide dynamic range and minimal distortion. There’s no mention of how much the […]

Uber is leaving Colombia after court ruling

[ad_1] A lawsuit had accused Uber of breaking the law by steering customers away from taxis and offering public transportation without a license. This isn’t the first time Uber has been given the boot. A German court recently ruled against Uber, and Italy temporarily banned the company in 2017. However, it appears to be the […]

US will investigate Fitbit and Garmin following Philips complaints

[ad_1] The original complaint had been filed in December and could lead to tariffs or outright bans on any devices found violating Philips’ patents. Companies embroiled in patent disputes often use ITC complaints alongside or in place of lawsuits to get a faster verdict (civil suits frequently take years to unfold) and pressure targets into […]

Modder makes the GameCube Joy-Cons you’ve always wanted for your Switch

[ad_1] He even created a center piece that lets you reunite both halves in a single gamepad that’s the same width as the original Wavebird. The creator expects to provide CAD files for those who want to attempt their own mods, but be warned: this definitely isn’t for first-timers. Shank cautioned that a lot more […]

OnePlus is reportedly holding a display tech convention

[ad_1] OnePlus itself has yet to confirm the event, so we can’t say for sure what kind of display products and technologies it’s planning to announce. According to the Weibo post, though, we might see screens with a 120Hz refresh rate, which will enable smoother pictures than what displays with lower refresh rates are capable […]
