Tech companies have invested so much money in building data centers in recent months, it’s actively driving the US economy—and the AI race is showing no signs of slowing down. Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg told President Donald Trump last week that the company would spend $600 billion on US infrastructure—including data centers—by 2028, while OpenAI…
I love it when a b-Vibe product comes my way, even if it’s a P-spot vibrator, like the b-Vibe 360 Plug. I don’t have a prostate, but my partner does, so it makes for a lot of fun to use together when we want to add some anal play to the mix. I gave it…
Main theme: In this podcast episode, we give our driving impressions of the all-new 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid. Adding a hybrid powertrain to the recently redesigned Forester is a smart choice because it should better position the highly rated small SUV to compete with its prime rivals, many of which have offered hybrids for several…
In her classic novel Frankenstein, author Mary Shelley imagines a monster that’s reanimated with its piecemeal body sewn together, tendon by tendon. “The dissecting room and the slaughter-house furnished many of my materials,” Shelley writes. That’s exactly what scrolling through Instagram feels like right now—an ungodly morass of features stitched together. It’s an AI search…
Performance was consistently good throughout my home, with some of the fastest speeds I have recorded at close and medium range. My top pick, the Orbi 770 Series, outperformed the BE67 in some scenarios. By default, the 6-GHz band is a separate SSID, appended _6GHz, and MLO is switched off. I joined with my Pixel…

For your next trip—especially on business—every item in your travel…
With the school year starting, there are plenty of deals out there. But you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a good computer. Many lower-priced models, including last year’s versions, deliver exactly what most people are looking for. You don’t need cutting-edge specs to write papers, manage spreadsheets, attend video classes, or browse…
With modern cars, there’s more to go wrong because you have more systems and technology than previous generations. On the other hand, they’re generally better built because many features are implemented efficiently, such as abilities added via software rather than new mechanical components. Even the metals are more rust-resistant than they were in the past,…
Speaking of critical listening, the XC1 work with Sony’s hi-res capable LDAC Bluetooth codec, should you happen to own a compatible Android phone (sorry, iPhone users). Using LDAC can reveal more detail, especially when listening to a source of lossless audio, but for these earbuds, I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze. Using…
