Fresh review time, as I’ve had the Google Pixel Watch 4 strapped to my wrist for the past couple of weeks. While it’s not a radical reinvention of Google’s approach to smart time pieces, it is rather nice…

Today, I took suffering for the ART rather literally, as I checked out the cheapest projector you can buy on Amazon. Spoiler: It’s very, very cheap. Further spoiler: There’s a reason for that…

You have no excuse for sullying the tiny quantity of goodwill left in the brand. Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done. No, you may not take Yars with you. It's still in trouble for seeking revenge.
