Anker has proven themselves time and again when it comes to providing value at a good price. You get a lot with the Eufy P3 smart scale: display customization, removable battery operation, a large, vibrant display, and more. There was just one thing I found irksome. Not a deal breaker, but something you should definitely be aware of.Eufy P3: Price and availability(Image credit: Anker)Normally the Eufy P3 smart scale is available direct from Anker’s Eufy website, or Amazon for $89.99, but both sites are currently offering…

Much like smartphones, so many of the smart body scales are the same. Boring black or white slabs. Enter: RENPHO’s Elis Chroma. A “smart body scale” with an RGB deck which isn’t just pretty, it’s also functional. And while the scale does come with some caveats -they all do- I really liked the simplicity of its apps, and its bluetooth connectivity was rock solid!RENPHO Elis Chroma: Price and availability(Image credit: RENPHO)How much is the accessory, and where can you buy it from?The Elis Chroma is available directly…

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNETWhat's the Amazon Spring Sale deal?The EcoFlow River 2 Max is 15% off on Amazon. This amounts to a savings of $90 for a total price of $379. Why this deal is ZDNET-recommendedI love power stations. They're the off-grid adventurer's answer to the power bank. They're a huge box of batteries that can be used to charge USB devices and run gadgets that need AC power.But power stations can be big, weighty things. That's fine if you have a vehicle to haul your gear to your destination, but if…

The United States Commerce Department is investigating whether SMIC illegally obtained US tools to make the Kirin 9000S chip. According to Alan Estevez, a senior official in the department, the chip maker potentially broke export rules, but the situation is still being assessed. The announcement comes after a congressional hearing earlier this week and reports that the Biden administration is considering a ban on 4 more chip makers, including Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC), Huawei's provider of…

Epic has confirmed that its Games Store is coming to both iOS and Android later this year. This is the same EGS that distributes games on Windows, as an alternative to Steam. Epic says that its Games Store will offer the same fair terms to all developers, on a true multi-platform store. That means that devs will get to keep 88% of their revenue and Epic will get 12%. In comparison, Google gets a 15% cut on the first $1 million in revenue, and whopping 30% after that. Epic also says that devs can leverage to keep 100%…

Do you miss the tiles of the Windows Phone or the curves of HTC’s mobile range? The Department of Justice claims you have Apple to thank for their disappearance. Just this week, the DOJ announced it would be suing Apple for operating with an illegal monopoly. In the court documents, when trying to substantiate the damage done by Apple’s market practices, it claims “many prominent, well-financed companies have tried and failed to successfully enter the relevant markets because of these entry barriers.” When looking at the…

This week the Department of Justice landed Apple with the lawsuit of the century, claiming the company operates a monopoly over its iPhone products and iOS business model that stifles competition and hurts its competitors. Amidst a myriad of strange claims, such as the idea that the dreadful Amazon Fire Phone failed because of Apple (and not because it was dreadful), a revisionist history of Apple’s iPod success has set tongues wagging on the internet. As part of an introduction to the Apple vs. United States lawsuit,…

On March 22, 2024, the DOJ slammed a lawsuit on Apple’s desk, claiming that the firm is restricting competition with a monopoly that doesn’t let other companies have a piece of its very tasty pie. One of the elements brought forward by the DOJ to demonstrate Apple’s restriction of competition is the Apple Watch, which the Department claims forces users to stick with iPhone.In response to the DOJ assertions, Apple told 9to5Mac that it took three years to consider allowing the Apple Watch to work with Android, only to…

Apple has a striking yet quite unique aesthetic. Combining the flashiness of a brilliant white with the minimalism of its design, Apple hardware is both incredibly usable and a bit of a fashion statement in itself. It's rare you find something that fits the aesthetic well and even rarer when another company does it better. Lofree has managed to do that with one noteworthy flaw.Lofree Flow 100: Price and availability (Image credit: Future / James Bentley)The Lofree Flow 100 comes in at $169 and can currently be bought…
