Fits

Amazon is running a Gaming Week deals event this week, and we’re here to separate a bit of the wheat from the chaff. For example, the Logitech G Fits wireless gaming earbuds are on sale for $159.99 ($70 off) at Amazon. That’s a new low price on these earbuds, which, just like the Logitech-owned UE Fits, use a soft, mushy material inside to conform to your ear shape until a 60-second curing process under UV light makes them keep that one-of-a-kind fit. If you’ve struggled to find earbuds that fit your ears, well, these may…

Swedish heat pump maker Qvantum has debuted an award-winning apartment heat pump that’s so compact, it can fit under a kitchen sink. Limhamn, Sweden-based Qvantum’s new QG apartment heat pump, which offers integrated heating, cooling, and hot water in one system, was awarded the German ISH Design Plus 2023 award this month. The Design Plus award is given to “future-proof products” that demonstrate “sustainability, aesthetic appeal, and functionality.” The 6 kW heat pump is modular, so it’s…

It’s not everyday that the odd little EVs I find for the Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week are so cool that I’m tempted to buy them myself. But this week it’s going to be hard to pass up on this three-seater electric pedicab that you can own for a song! Alright, so let’s dive in here. This is what we’re looking at: an electric trike with a pivoting front end that mounts a bench-style seat for two adults (or probably three kids squished shoulder to shoulder). This 85 kg (187…

A Chromebook is a portable computer running ChromeOS, a specialized operating system designed by Google to rely more heavily on connected and cloud-based services than traditional operating systems like Windows or MacOS do. Chromebooks look nearly identical to most laptops or notebook PCs, but generally include less powerful hardware due to their reliance on those cloud-based services, instead of locally installed software that requires more horsepower.

Jennifer Lawrence was not in the mood to hold back when it came to discussing toxic masculinity and her experiences in working with male directors in the industry. The Hunger Games actor made sure everyone knew that she had worked with her X- Men director Bryan Singer so she knows a thing or two about ‘emotional men’ who throw ‘hissy fits’. (Also read: Jennifer Lawrence says she lost sense of control post Hunger Games success)Jennifer Lawrence has starred in three of Bryan Singer’s X-Men films, First Class (2011), Days…

Although Harrison Ford’s Dr. Henry Jones Jr. will reunite with John Rhys-Davies’ Sallah, next summer, most of the Indiana Jones 5 cast is comprised of new faces. This includes Antonio Banderas, an actor who’s no stranger to adventure moves thanks to his outings as Zorro, voicing Puss in Boots and starring in Uncharted. Now we finally have some details straight from Banderas himself on how he fits into Indiana Jones 5, which will be Ford’s final time playing the fedora-wearing title protagonist.We learned that Antonio…

Photo: Mark Knapp / GizmodoGaming headphones with special features that make them suited to the trials of competitive gaming are everywhere, but gaming earbuds are few and far between. There are plenty of Bluetooth earbuds and wired earbuds that market themselves for gaming, but the EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid buds and HyperX Cloud MIX buds are two of the only sets that offer the low-latency wireless connection (read: not Bluetooth) gaming all but demands. This means the Logitech G Fits are entering an exceedingly small market.…

Image via LucasFilm/Disney Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie of the Disney era, and has provided a solid foundation for the excellent Andor. Its down-to-earth lightsaber-free action provides a fresh perspective on the franchise, with both the show and movie giving us a boots-on-the-ground story that underlines the evil of the Empire and why it must be defeated. Along the way, it introduced us to a unique character that embodies much of the Jedi philosophy despite not being at all affiliated with the Jedi…

Let’s face it, the wireless earbud market can get a bit samey, but Ultimate Ears has something very different in the form of the mouldable UE Fits.  While the UE Fits have been available in the US for a good while (for $199), the firm is now launching them in the UK, Canada, and Europe (France and Germany).  These are the “world’s first truly wireless custom fit earbuds shaped to consumers’ unique earprints in under 60 seconds.” That’s a strangely specific claim, but we’ve still not seen much like this on the…
