What Happens When a Smart Hub Processes AI Locally Instead of in the Cloud

SwitchBot AI Hub Features

We keep hearing about AI in the cloud, but SwitchBot’s new AI Hub flips that model. It runs a Vision Language Model directly on the device, processes up to eight camera feeds locally, and hosts Home Assistant without needing a separate server. That challenges the assumption that serious AI work requires cloud infrastructure. The company […]

AUMI Tablet 9

REVIEW – Tablet computers have been a dream since before the crew emerged from stasis in 2001: A Space Odessey and caught up with what they had missed while hurtling away from the Earth. Since then, Star Trek had their PADDs, and Apple got roundly roasted for calling their tablet “iPad”. We have nearly sixteen

NEWS – TECNO just announced the POVA Curve 2 5G in Hong Kong, and the pitch is simple. An 8000mAh battery inside a phone that measures 7.42mm thin and weighs 195 grams. That is a large battery for a device that does not look or read like a rugged brick. Big battery phones usually make

10 EDC Valentines Gifts Under 60 That Wont Collect Dust

Most Valentine’s gift guides treat thoughtful and practical like opposite things. Flowers get called thoughtful. Tools get called practical. The split doesn’t make sense, but it creates a market where gifts either sit on a nightstand for two days or solve problems nobody has. EDC gear works differently because you carry it every day, which

5 EDC Pens That Actually Stay in Your Pocket Buyers Guide

Most EDC enthusiasts can recite the steel composition of their pocket knife but can’t name the pen they’re carrying. They’ll debate lumen output for hours while using whatever promotional pen ended up in their bag after a trade show. That’s backward priority management, because the pen fails more often, gets used in more contexts, and

RODMAN ED08 Coin-Sized Titanium Magnetic Flashlight with 5 Light Colors Price

ARTICLE – Crowdfunding timelines train you to expect disappointment. You back a project in January, watch estimated shipping dates slide from spring to summer to “Q4 if we’re lucky,” then forget you even pledged until a surprise package arrives eighteen months later. The RODMAN ED08 appears to skip that script entirely, with the Kickstarter campaign

Brook Gaming Wingman P5 Controller Availability

ARTICLE – Most PS5 owners quietly accept that their preferred controller won’t work on Sony’s console. An Xbox Elite Series 2 that feels perfect in your hands sits unused. A Switch Pro you spent months breaking in collects dust. Third-party adapters exist, but the moment you go wireless, haptic feedback vanishes. Motion controls stop working.

ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM Gaming Monitor Where to Buy

NEWS – Asus shipped its 32-inch ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM3 gaming monitor to China this week, weeks ahead of the late March window the company floated after CES.

Casio G-Shock GAB010 Specs

Fitness trackers made everyone count steps, but they also made everyone charge gadgets every other night. Casio’s G-Shock GAB010 sidesteps that ritual by putting a step counter inside a solar-powered watch that runs on light and takes a beating. There’s no nightly charging, no battery anxiety, and no touchscreen to crack. It’s step tracking stripped

5 EDC Knives That Prove You Don't Need Thumbstuds - Buyers Guide

Thumbstuds became default because they worked across every lock type Benchmade and Spyderco tested in the 1990s, not because they’re fastest or most intuitive. That inheritance stuck around long enough that most people assume it’s the only reliable way to open a folder one-handed. It isn’t. Crossbar mechanisms deploy from two grip positions, front flippers

Xiaomi Smart Camera C500

Most budget security cameras cap out at 2K resolution, which is the quiet compromise between affordability and image clarity. You get enough pixels to confirm motion, identify that someone is near your front door, and review general activity patterns. What you don’t get is the ability to read text on a package label from across

Midea Dual-Flex Safe Space Heater Release

ARTICLE – Tower heaters have trained us to accept a design limit that doesn’t need to exist. They stand upright, blow heat forward, and expect you to arrange the room around them. That works fine if you’ve got an open corner, but it breaks down when you need heat under a desk or along a

abxylute M4 Snap-On Mobile Controller Specs

Phone gaming controllers fail at portability before they fail at anything else. The problem isn’t buttons or latency or compatibility across ecosystems. The problem is that most mobile controllers ask you to carry a secondary device that’s heavier, bulkier, and more annoying than the phone itself. Telescopic grips turn your phone into a brick.

ARTICLE – Nintendo built these colors in the ’90s, tested them with real consumers, then buried them. Not concept sketches or Photoshop mockups: actual injection-molded consoles with matching controllers, fully functional, sitting in storage until former employees started selling them to collectors years later.

EDC Gear Kids Actually Want to Carry Every Day Cover

Most adults think kids’ EDC is just smaller versions of what they carry. That misses the point entirely. Kids don’t need tactical pens or multi-tools with 14 functions they’ll never use. They need gear that solves the specific problems they face between recess, homework, and figuring out how to organize their backpacks without losing everything
