My first thought upon seeing the Haptic Music feature is to wonder how long until they make compatible headphones and I can relive my high school years, walking around listening to nu-metal and hip-hop with a Panasonic Shockwave walkman.

Crave recently did the same thing in Canada, got rid of their $9.99 “mobile” plan, and now the $24.99 subscription is the only choice available for new subscribers. Sucks because all I want to watch is new Star Trek series, which means payi

I don't understand how that can be true. I put a deposit on a new Hyundai last month and Hyundai Canada is telling me it won't even be built until February 2023, specifically citing chip shortages.

Anecdata here, but I owned an HP Spectre 360 laptop a few years ago and I would never buy another HP laptop again. It cost almost as much as a Macbook, and within ~2 years of gentle use, mostly around the house, it blew a speaker, the webca

I don’t know much about the technical aspects of microphones, but over the last 10 years or so I’ve listened to a lot of ASMR on YouTube, and I would say the Yeti is a pretty decent microphone. My advice for ASMRtists would be: don’t buy a

I have the exact opposite problem. I own at least a dozen game consoles and a gaming PC, and have a huge attach rate for all of them. Games look fun and interesting to me, I watch reviews and follow industry news and get hyped for new games

I've heard other people say this and in addition to the common response of helping to reduce spread, I wonder: won't those children grow up to become adults who might experience more serious infection/symptoms? Isn't thi
