The Dreame Aero Pro Reaches Under the Couch and Cleans Itself
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Misc. Tech, Videos,
Hard floors are supposed to be easy to keep clean. Then real life happens. You get crumbs, random liquid spills, and pet hair all in the exact same spot. Usually, you have to vacuum, mop, and still ignore the dust bunnies hiding under the furniture. The Dreame Aero Pro Wet Dry Vacuum & Mop 2 in 1 is built to fix that entire routine. Let's see how it holds up.
The Dreame Aero Pro fixes this with an ultra-slim body. It measures just 3.88 inches thick and reclines a full 180 degrees. You can easily push it under anything with about 4 inches of clearance. It also features a special air-water separation system. This keeps the suction steady even when the machine is completely flat. You aren't just pushing a fancy squeegee around. Add in a swivel joint to reduce pushing resistance, and it steers smoothly without feeling like you are wrestling an upright vacuum.
You can pick up the Dreame Aero Pro now!

Roborock F25 GT vs. Tineco Floor One S5: The Ultimate Mop-Vac Showdown
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Product Reviews, Videos,
Wet-dry vacuums are lifesavers for hard floors. But they usually come with some annoying caveats. You know the drill. You get a dirty streak right against the baseboards. The roller develops a damp, mildewy smell. And you always end up doing manual maintenance after the machine finishes its "self-cleaning" cycle.
I kept running into these exact issues. So, I decided to put two heavy hitters head-to-head to see if we can finally get a truly hands-off clean.
In this battle, we put the Roborock F25 GT vs Tineco Floor One S5!

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Misc. Tech, Product Reviews, Videos,

The iGarden Pool Pump P15 takes old-school, energy-draining pool maintenance and flips it into something quiet, efficient, and fully controllable from your phone.

Technology Access Foundation Students Visit Capital One to Talk Tech Careers
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Editorial, Misc. Tech,
As I waited in the lobby at Capital One in Seattle, a group of well-dressed, inquisitive 13-year-olds arrived - joking, laughing, all while keeping their voices down in order to mind their manners. I eavesdropped a bit to get a sense for what they were feeling, and it was a mixture of excitement and nervousness. They were here at Capital One to learn about what it takes to succeed in a career in the fast-growing world of tech.

Get a preview of the best tech that we found in the Panasonic booth in the video embedded above, and then hit the jump to check out all the products that I was able to learn about during this CES, like the bendable battery, the sports arena of the future, on the fly multilingual language translation, the incredible Lumix GH5, and more!

We know that sitting down in the same spot all day isn't fun, and it may be contributing negatively to our health – and we have the science to back it up, too. Sitting behind a desk is very unhealthy for your body, but there aren't exactly a lot of opportunities to move around…unless you've got a standing desk.

URME Mask lets you wear someone else’s face to avoid surveillance
Posted by Ariel Levin-Waldman Categories: Design, Misc. Tech,
Surveillance technology has gotten pretty impressive. Camera resolution combined with facial recognition means you can be identified just about all the time, and in many jurisdiction in the United States it is actually illegal to wear a mask in public if it is likely to cause concern. What is the average guy supposed to do to hide from the high tech eyes of a watchful government?
You can always try wearing someone else's face.
I promise it's less creepy than it sounds. Still pretty creepy though. The URME Mask, a realistically detailed 3D printed replica of the creator's face, comes to us by way of Indiegogo. Yes, you read that right, the entire premise of the URME is to make everyone look just like Leo Selvaggio, the Chicago-based artist that that brainstormed the idea.
And he is apparently not alone in thinking this. It's a little disturbing but he has more than doubled his originally asked for goal of $1,000. There are people out there willing to pay good money to wear Leo's skin.
