[ad_1] You’ll begin the Damage Control as a recruit invited to test out new prototypes for Shuri’s “Emergency Response Suits” but find yourself caught up in drama when “an enemy from the past” tries to steal the tech.

The North Face’s high-tech Futurelight jackets are finally here
[ad_1] Another interesting aspect of The North Face’s latest fabric tech is that it developed it with sustainability in mind. The company said that every Futurelight garment will be produced at a solar-powered factory, and they’ll be made from recycled materials and will go through a process that cuts chemical consumption. In other words, not […]
Bose discontinues its Sleepbuds due to battery issues
[ad_1] The company quickly sold out of a trial batch of Sleepbuds it offered through an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign in 2017. It formally put the earbuds on sale in the US and Canada in June last year.

Accudio’s earbuds use an ‘inner mic’ to put phone calls first
[ad_1] Accudio is not quite available for the public yet — it’ll be on Indiegogo starting next month — but Orfeo did show off a demo of it at this week’s TechCrunch Disrupt event. Design-wise, they remind me a little of Amazon’s Echo Buds, except these come in both black and white. They come with […]

Nike’s Adapt Huarache are self-lacing sneakers you’ll actually want to wear
[ad_1] Look, if I had my pick of self-lacing shoes to own, it would be the 2016 Nike Mags. You know, the ones from Back to the Future. But, those were limited-edition and Nike only made 89 pairs total (and I’m not about to drop $75,000 to buy them on a resale app). The Adapt […]
The 40mm Apple Watch Series 5 comes with a new battery design
[ad_1] That might be how Apple was able to give its battery life a boost, even though the size of its battery compartment isn’t any different from its predecessors’. Using metal as a pouch also leads to a battery that’s stronger and more puncture-resistant. While iFixit wasn’t sure what metal Apple used to make the […]
Tell us how you like your Samsung Galaxy Watch Active
[ad_1] In the search for a truly great fitness smartwatch, reviews editor Cherlynn Low tested the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active, the lower-cost version of last year’s Galaxy Watch. At $200 the Galaxy Watch Active eschews the rotating bezel found on the higher-priced model. It’s also 20 percent smaller and 60 percent lighter. This makes for […]
Amazon put Alexa in everything

Oh, and that’s not all — now Alexa can […]
