AirTag 2nd Gen: Same Puck, Farther Precision Finding Flex
Lost keys are a personality trait. The Apple AirTag (2nd generation) is Apple’s second crack at making that trait temporary. Same coin-sized puck vibe, same Find My network party tricks – but Apple’s second-gen Ultra Wideband chip stretches Precision Finding up to about 1.5x farther, and the built-in speaker is pitched as up to 50% […]
OrigamiSwift Folds a Full-Size Mouse Into a 40g Travel Slab
Most travel mice make you pick a side: tiny and miserable, or full-size and bag-hostile. The OrigamiSwift refuses the choice. It is a 40g origami brick that folds flatter than a passport, then snaps into a real mouse shape in under half a second. Designer Horace Lam’s fold has been kicking around as the myAir.0 […]
Divoom TimeBox Evo: Pixel Art That Also Plays Your Podcasts
Quick continuity note for longtime GK readers: we’ve covered Divoom’s rugged Voombox Bluetooth speakers before. This is not that remaster. The TimeBox Evo is the pixel-art desk cube—16×16 programmable RGB LEDs up front, a pocketable speaker behind the smile. It still sells in the ~$40 neighborhood, which is absurd value for a gadget that doubles […]
Birdfy Rookie: A Bird Feeder That Texts You When Cardinals Show Up
Want backyard drama without sitting in a lawn chair with binoculars like it’s a stakeout? The Birdfy Rookie (Netvue’s beginner smart feeder, ASIN B0FVSJLXM3) is the entry ticket: 1080p camera on the side of the seed bin for closer faces, full-color night vision, slow-mo clips, and AI that tries to name your visitors. Street price […]
8BitDo Retro 18: Your Teacher Was Wrong About Calculators
Your math teacher said you couldn’t carry a calculator everywhere. Cute theory. The 8BitDo Retro 18 is an 18-key mechanical numpad that flips into a standalone calculator with a glowing nine-digit seven-segment display—NES energy for your spreadsheet addiction. The Amazon N Edition usually lands around $44.99, which is aggressively reasonable for hot-swap clickies that also […]
Aurzen ZIP Pro: Tri-Fold 1080p Pocket Projector (~$579.99 Preorder)
Most “pocket projectors” force a cruel choice: pocketable and dim, or bright and shaped like a house brick. Aurzen ZIP Pro is the IFA 2026 answer that tries to keep both—a tri-fold DLP that unfolds into its own stand and throws native 1080p without making you pack a tripod like you’re shooting a student film. […]
TDM Neo Hybrid Headphones: Twist Into a Speaker (~$249, Batch 002)
Headphones that “also play out loud” usually mean everyone hates you on the subway. TDM Neo—from Tomorrow Doesn’t Matter, because subtle branding is dead—takes a better path: twist the flexible headband around the cups until they magnetically nest, and the whole thing becomes a palm-size Bluetooth speaker. Kickstarter Batch 001 sold out; Batch 002 is […]
Insta360 X6 Review: The 360 Camera That Finally Feels Like Three Cameras
Insta360’s X-series has been the default answer for “I want a 360 camera that also works as an action cam.” The X5 already owned that lane. The X6, launched August 12, 2026, is the first model that feels like a real generation jump rather than a yearly refresh. It is shorter, heavier on sensor, faster […]

Tired of mosquitoes ruining your outdoor time? Meet the Photon Matrix Blue Laser Mosquito Air Defense — a high-tech “air defense” system that tracks and zaps flying pests with precision lasers instead of chemicals, sprays, or sticky traps. Hopefully this isn’t vaporware as the images all look like AI renderings. Photon Matrix Lab (the team […]
Tiny Mosquito Hunting Drone
Hard to believe but true – Mosquitoes rank among humanity’s deadliest foes, spreading diseases that kill hundreds of thousands each year while turning backyard evenings into itchy nightmares. Traditional defenses—sprays, zappers, and nets—often fall short or rely on chemicals. Enter Tornyol, a Y Combinator-backed French startup building a 40-gram autonomous micro-drone that patrols your space, […]
