The Protect goes above and beyond your standard home fire alarm, as it can detect heat, humidity, and carbon monoxide and also detect both fast and slow-burning fires. If you set off the alarm accidentally, such as while cooking dinner, you can quickly turn it off via the app. Protect also performs routine self-tests, making sure it’s functioning correctly. The setup process is also easy; you’ll need to screw the base plate into the ceiling, attach the Protect, and then sync it with your phone....

If you go at it piecemeal, you might well end up with a hodgepodge of gear, with a disorganized collection of tech, half of which you might not even need. You might find the perfect desk, spend a pile on it, and then pair it with a wobbly and uncomfortable stool. You might splurge on that super-powered desktop PC, but end up playing games with a half-broken bargain-basement keyboard and mouse....

The problem is that, unlike consoles from earlier generations, the Xbox 360 underwent two major revisions and also had a number of different models within each revision. It was confusing enough at the time, so it’s easy to understand how the sheer number of options could become overwhelming if all you want to do is pick up a used Xbox 360 off eBay or Craigslist. If you are looking to buy an Xbox 360, here are the three major hardware revisions, including some of the most important facts about each....

Following the mixed response to Marvel’s Avengers in 2020, I really wasn’t sure what to think about Square Enix once more dipping its toe into the Marvel universe. I’ve been a fan of the Guardians of the Galaxy for a long time, having read many of the comics and watching both of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies multiple times. To call it my favorite superhero group would probably be a bit of an understatement....

Due to the global pandemic, Seattle had to cancel its annual New Year’s Eve fireworks show at its iconic Space Needle.

Apple’s brand-new M2 MacBook Air is available for pre-order today, then shipping in a week. Like the recent MacBook Pro redesign, this new Air gets a MagSafe charger—freeing up its two USB-C ports for other stuff—a new flat-sided design, plus a new expansive screen that pushes so far into the surrounding lid that it needs a notch to hold the webcam. If you’re in the market for a laptop, this is almost certainly the one you should buy, unless you already have the M1 version....

The Paperwhite is the sweet spot in the Kindle lineup. It’s fancier than the basic Kindle, but still way, way cheaper than the top-of-the-line Oasis. And as soon as this new Paperwhite launches, that spot will—temporarily—be even sweeter, leapfrogging the Oasis in most features, or at least matching them. But even with this solid update, does the Kindle still lag in the e-reader market as a whole? “The new Kindle doesn’t appear to have features that beat anything Kobo has been producing for the last several years....

Fox began their path on Twitch two years ago in an attempt to build a community of like-minded gaming enthusiasts. Fox built a 6,000-person audience with their clinical disposition and penchant for radical positivity and hopes to reach a few thousand more! “When I first started creating content… I never thought anything would come of it.
