I ditched my dual-monitor setup for a single 40-inch ultrawide — and two screens aren’t better than one
There’s no ideal desk setup that works for everyone. While one person might be content with a laptop or a single monitor, another might want multiple monitors. Likewise, your old desk setup might have been perfect at the time but now, it no longer meets your needs. As someone who builds desk setups for a living, I’m constantly trying out…

I sleep 6 hours a night, is that enough? Here’s what a doctor had to say
I recently started tracking my sleep with an Apple Watch, and it’s told me something I already knew: I sleep for around six hours a night.

7 things you should never keep under your bed, according to pest removers

I thought smaller was better until I tried a massive 14-inch tablet that feels like a clipboard
From the Nexus 7 to the iPad mini, I’ve always preferred smaller tablets you can hold in one hand and easily slip into a bag, which is why I was so surprised when I found myself reaching for an absolutely massive 14.3-inch slate instead.

I tested the Amazfit Active 3 Premium earlier this year and loved it. It’s definitely one of the best affordable fitness trackers you can buy.

Dyson Spot and Scrub Ai review: a great mop, a worse vacuum
I’m deeply conflicted about the Dyson Spot + Scrub Ai robot vacuum and mop. It’s the company’s best robotic floor cleaner to date, with excellent mopping performance, good navigation and obstacle detection, and a multifunction dock that takes much of the busywork off your hands. But Dyson’s first attempt at a vacuum-and-mop combo is a worse vacuum than its predecessors,…
