The sold-out Nex Playground made my kids laugh and cry
If you told me last year the Nex Playground would outsell Microsoft’s Xbox, even for two weeks, I would have laughed my way out of the room.

I needed help writing after breaking my arm — so I put the built-in voice recorder apps on top phones to the test
I recently broke my arm — and not just a little break, either, but one where the doctor looks at the x-rays, lets out a low whistle and summons the interns to marvel at the majesty of the fracture. Suffice it to say, my left arm looked to be out of commission for some time. That’s a problem for me…

Where’s the Trump Phone? We’re going to keep talking about it every week, except next week, when we take a break until the new year. We’ve reached out, as usual, to ask about the Trump Phone’s whereabouts. As usual, we’re still waiting for a response. In the meantime, we’re wondering who’s actually behind the mobile company.

I ran a half marathon with the Coros Pace 4 vs. Garmin Forerunner 265 — here’s the winner
If you’re shopping for a new sports watch and don’t have a huge budget, the Garmin Forerunner 265 and Coros Pace 4 are two models that should be on your radar, because they both offer great value.

Even the AI companies are tired of talking about AGI
The cringe comes for us all, and for all our hot new turns of phrase. “Rizz” lost its luster when grandparents started asking about its meaning. Teachers who dressed up as “6-7” on Halloween drove a nail into the coffin of Gen Alpha’s rallying cry. And tech CEOs who once trumpeted the quest for “artificial general intelligence,” or AGI, are…
