Smartwatches are in big trouble

I recently reviewed the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro, and it’s very good indeed. It’s fast, capable, and comfortable to wear, with a decent app and long battery life. The thing is, it’s actually only a gently warmed-over version of the same smartwatch released this time last year, which normally would be the kiss of death for any new product. However, in the stagnant world of Wear OS, it’s apparently entirely possible to release basically the same product one year later and for it to still be a recommended purchase....

SpaceX just fired its most powerful rocket ever. Next stop, a Tesla in space

After a long series of delays and unexpected setbacks, SpaceX successfully completed a static fire engine test for itsFalcon Heavyrocket today at Pad 39A of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro still lacks this must-have pro feature

Creative professionals have always been a target demographic for the MacBook Pro. In recent years, though, that group has been vocal about its disapproval of changes made to the device.
