The Typhur Dome 2 is the best air fryer you can buy. Sure, it looks like a flying saucer from a bad 1960s movie, but it will crisp your wings, bake your pizza, and gently golden brown your fries like no other. The griddle function is even capable of actual…
I always install these 5 open-source Android apps on my Galaxy Tabs
I prefer using free and open-source (FOSS) apps on my Android phone and Windows laptop for many reasons. I don’t see the point in paying monthly subscriptions for something I can get for free. More importantly, FOSS apps are inherently safer because their source code is publicly accessible, providing transparency…
Home Batteries: How They’re Installed and How Much They Cost
With electricity costs soaring, home batteries have never looked so attractive. Whether you want to store the excess generated by your solar panels or simply buy electricity at the cheapest possible rate to use later when power is most expensive, a home battery can help. It’s never been easier to…
Siri AI Hands On: A Smart, Helpful Assistant
I quickly found that Siri AI’s bite-sized replies don’t drone on endlessly like many contemporary AI assistants, often sticking to a single paragraph. When I verbally asked for a nice beach hike route to see the sunrise near the Golden Gate Bridge, it succinctly recommended a popular trail in the…

Canada Missed Chances to Inspect Titan Before Fatal Implosion
A report from Canada’s Transportation Safety Board has highlighted regulatory failures that allowed OceanGate’s unregistered, unflagged, and uncertified Titan submersible to operate out St. John’s, Newfoundland, for years before it imploded on a tourist trip to the wreck of the Titanic in 2023. “When it came to the Titan, critical…
Prediction Market Philosophers Got What They Wanted. They’re Not Happy About It
On June 11, Kalshi released a buzzy ad featuring noted New York Knicks fan Timothée Chalamet. It was a zeitgeist-capturing moment for prediction markets, akin to the 2022 Super Bowl, when seemingly every commercial featured a celebrity shilling crypto. Yet when I brought Chalamet’s spot up with attendees at Manifest,…
An Open Strait of Hormuz Won’t Fix Gas Prices Overnight
