This All-in-one Universal Remote lets you control your entire Smart Home without Alexa, Google, or Siri

Posted on by

Isn’t it funny that somehow we went from universal remotes in the early 2000s to suddenly having these complicated hubs to connect all the devices in our smart homes? I won’t lie but talking to a hub isn’t as great as it promised to be. It’s a lot easier to point a remote at something and press a button than to tell Alexa to reduce the volume of music or raise the temperature of the AC… and while Amazon, Google, Apple, and the like just think hubs are the answer, one company is reverting back to the remote days. The Haptique RS90 is perhaps the world’s first universal remote controller designed to operate practically any wireless or smart device you’ve got around you. It uses a combination of infrared, WiFi, and Bluetooth to interface with devices around your house from smart TVs to Bluetooth speakers, ACs, soundbars, projectors, air purifiers, and even your PS5. You don’t need to talk to a hub, and better still, you don’t need to install twenty apps on your phone to manage multiple devices around your house.

The Haptique RS90 departs from the clunky look of traditional universal remotes. Instead, it takes on the shape of a smartphone, albeit with physical controls along with a 3.2-inch touchscreen. This display serves as the central hub for navigating menus, controlling smart home features, and even watching tutorials. A well-curated set of essential buttons line the bottom, providing quick access to core functions like volume control, channel surfing, and playback options. This thoughtful blend of touch and physical controls caters to both those who prefer a tactile experience and users who want the ease of a touchscreen. The overall design of the RS90 sticks to a recognizable linear format of most remotes, which gives you a feeling of familiarity. Hold it and you intuitively know how to use it – there’s a minimal learning curve with the controls, and even less so with the touchscreen. The remote is sleek without being too sleek – it’s less likely to get lost, thanks to a tilted design that makes it impossible to slide in between sofa cushions. Simultaneously, the tilt allows the screen to face you when you’re holding the remote horizontally – a clever detail that ends up becoming the RS90’s defining iconic silhouette.

The Haptique RS90 isn’t just about controlling your TV – it aspires to be the central nervous system of your entire smart home. It boasts broad infrared (IR) compatibility, allowing it to command traditional TVs, projectors, sound systems, and more. But its true strength lies in its ability to connect with smart home devices too. The RS90 promises seamless integration with popular smart home interfaces like Philips Hue, Home Assistant, Tuya, Sonos, Zigbee, with Homey and Smart Things in the works. The remote can directly control popular streaming services like Netflix and Spotify, or devices like Apple TV and Amazon Fire Stick, eliminating the need to juggle multiple apps or even actual remotes. The list goes on, with integrations planned for Roku, and game consoles like the PS5 and Nvidia Shield too!

Tactile buttons (with backlights) provide a traditional remote control experience

With great power, as the saying goes, also comes great responsibility. Having a centralized remote for all your smart home gizmos also means needing to make sure your 12-year-old doesn’t go messing with devices around the house. The remote boasts fingerprint-based security, allowing you to pretty much lock it the way you would a smartphone (available in the higher-tier model). Aside from locking your remote, you can also personalize its UIs with macros and shortcuts (something even smartphone apps don’t let you do) to ensure that you have every possible command right under your fingertips. After all, nothing feels more frustrating than fumbling with a remote trying to figure out basic functions, right?

The Haptique RS90 arrives at a pivotal time in the smart home revolution. While it doesn’t currently support Matter, the new industry-wide standard for smart home communication, it demonstrates a clear understanding of the need for interconnectivity. Thankfully, the developers have indicated that Matter support is planned for future updates. This future-proofing ensures that the RS90 won’t become obsolete as the smart home landscape continues to evolve.

While discussing the battery life of a remote control seems pretty trivial, the RS90 is clearly more than your average remote control. Given how much functionality it packs, it also arms itself with a 2000mAh battery that keeps it going for days (the small screen helps reduce battery drain too). To charge your remote, the RS90 is also accompanied by a slick charging hub that lets you simply dock your controller when it needs a battery boost. This also means your remote is less likely to get lost because you aren’t carelessly leaving it around the house.

The Haptique RS90 ships in two variants – the regular RS90 itself with 1GB RAM, 2.4 GHz WiFi, Android 8.10.0, Bluetooth 4.1 (and BLE), and a Quad Core ARM chip. Alternatively, the higher-tier RS90x model ships with 2GB RAM, Dual-band WiFi, Android 12, Bluetooth 5.0 (and BLE), an Octa Core ARM chipset, and the fingerprint sensor to help you lock your remote. Personally, the RS90x just seems like a better future-proofed option, running newer OS on more powerful hardware. Smart homes aren’t going anywhere, in fact, they’re only going to expand. If hubs annoy you, it makes sense to own the best possible version of a universal smart remote that lasts you for years, doesn’t it? The RS90 starts at $257, while the RS90x has a starting price of $321. Both models come in silver and gun-metal grey options, and ship with the charging dock and USB-C cable included, along with a 3-year warranty.

The Ryze 360 iPad Case transforms your tablet into an elevated 4K monitor that fits in your bag

Posted on by

Desktops and laptops were named for their ability to sit on desks and on laps. Tablets, on the other hand, can’t do any sitting of their own and need to be propped up via a stand. Sure, you could buy a fancy case worth hundreds of dollars that packs a keyboard, or a flimsy one that barely props your tablet up… or you could go for the Ryze 360, a stand that lets you angle AND height-adjust your iPad, and even prop it up in both landscape and portrait modes. Relying on a clever design inspired by origami, the Ryze 360 takes the term ‘stand case’ to new heights, no pun intended. Use the case to prop your iPad up at surface level, or fold the flap to give your iPad a 3-inch height boost, turning it into a makeshift monitor that you can look at without straining your neck. The Ryze 360 also has a swiveling design that lets you rotate your iPad to landscape or portrait orientations – something you wish your current iPad case-stand did.

The Ryze 360 builds on the success of its predecessor, the Ryze. Originally designed to give the iPad its own protective case and support stand, Ryze managed to do what most stands couldn’t – elevated docking. Almost every case stand (even the one I have on my iPad Pro M2 right now) gives you the ability to rest your tablet at a variety of angles, ranging from nearly horizontal to diagonal, and nearly vertical. Ryze did that too, while allowing for one more position – docking at a height… and the Ryze 360 retains that clever ability with one more trick up its sleeve, portrait/landscape switching.

The case comes with a faux-leather PU exterior that both gives the iPad its distinct leather-bound book-like feel, while protecting it from bumps and scratches. A crease pattern on the front flap guides you into setting up the Ryze’s stand. There are 3 angles you can choose from, depending on what you use your iPad for (doodling requires a lower angle, Facetime requires a higher front-facing angle), and a special fold lets you prop your iPad up at a height, raising it to match your eye-level so you don’t bend your neck while viewing the tablet. In this elevated mode, you can also rotate your iPad freely, alternating between landscape and portrait modes depending on what you use your iPad for.

The Ryze 360 comes in four colors – black, gray, lichen green, and caramel, and is compatible with both 11″ and 13″ models of the 2024 iPad Air and iPad Pro. The tablets are protected by a polycarbonate shell on which the faux PU leather is mounted. A magnetic flap holds the front lid of the case in place, preventing it from accidentally opening on its own, while also protecting/holding the Apple Pencil Pro in place as it’s docked on the side of the iPad. The Ryze 360 starts at $49.90, but YD readers get a 10% discount using the coupon code YANKO-UNIQ10.

This Ultimate Jogger’s Utility Belt gives you a waist-mounted 420-lumen LED Flashlight and EDC storage

Posted on by

Cars and bikes have headlights, so why is it that joggers have to rely on phone flashlights or those awkward headlamps that workers in mines use? Designed by avid running enthusiast and Ironman participant Bryan Robbins, the Lumabelt is one part utility belt one part high-vis flashlight. Turning the humble runner’s fanny pack into something much more sleek and functional, Lumabelt is a slim wearable that stores your phone, keys, and wallet while you’re running… but it also comes with a built-in LED flashlight strong enough to illuminate the path ahead of you while you run, helping you see as well as be seen by others. Plus its $29 price tag makes it a no-brainer for pretty much anyone who finds themselves navigating the outdoors in the dark, whether you’re taking your dog for a walk, hiking a trail, or even if your job is in the security domain.

A seasoned athlete, Robbins took to the roads to exercise after realizing his sedentary lifestyle was making him gain a lot of weight. Motivation pushed him to get off his office chair and go get some physical exercise – but the late nights proved to be an obstacle to his routine. Regular head-mounted lamps weren’t elegant, and the waist-mounted ones he had were either way too bulky, or didn’t have lights that were powerful enough. The reason, Robbins figured, was that these products were created by companies built on profit motives, not by actual runners or by brands that listened intently to runners. The first prototype of the Lumabelt was soon born, given his need to have a ‘sleek’ utility belt that also housed a powerful seamlessly integrated light.

Barely 3 inches high, the Lumabelt is a pretty sleek runner’s belt that has enough space for your essentials, but also packs an incredibly powerful flashlight that does a much better job of helping you navigate the dark. The spacious pocket holds your keys, phone, AirPods case, and even a compact power bank if you want to charge your phone or your Lumabelt while running. A 420-lumen LED strip practically works as your own personal headlight, letting you see the road ahead of you very clearly. For comparison, smartphones have flashlights that max at around 60 lumens. The Lumabelt offers two brightness modes to choose from – a Mid-Bright that works well in dawn/dusk settings, and a Full-Bright that’s perfect for the dark.

The beauty of the Lumabelt’s design comes from Robbins’ own experiences, as he faced quite a few struggles with utility belts that were too bulky or bounced around while he ran. To counter this, the Lumabelt has a sleek, streamlined, body-hugging design that doesn’t flip-flop as you sprint. The LED strip is mounted at a lower-facing angle so the light shines directly on the ground ahead of you, and a built-in battery gives you roughly 3 hours of continuous usage on Full-Bright mode, which can either be significantly extended by using a power-bank, or by switching to the Mid-Bright setting.

The belt comes with a one-size-fits-all design, working on waist sizes between 28 and 60. The pockets are expandable too, letting you tuck more than just 1-2 items in if you want to carry other EDC too. Although designed for night runners, the belt proves to be pretty useful across a variety of needs and occupations. It works phenomenally well for campers and hikers, travelers, cave exploration, dog-walking, or even security. The Lumabelt starts at a discounted $29, with global shipping this September.

Overalls are making a Glorious Comeback, and they’re now made from High-Performance Fabrics

Posted on by

The overalls have a fashion journey quite similar to that of the spectacle. Spectacles were created as vision-correction devices that went from functional to fashionable. Overalls too, were designed for the working class during the Gold Rush, but were soon appropriated as fashion garments with a distinct, effortless style. The problem, however, is that overalls just made a comeback – they didn’t evolve at all. Current overalls look good, but aren’t breathable, stretchy, pocket-dense, or designed to be worn all day – that’s where LIVSN’s Ecotrek Overalls come in. Building on the success of their Ecotrek pants (which raised over half a million on Kickstarter), the Ecotrek Overalls turn a classic garment into future-friendly fashion. The overalls are made from a rugged fabric that’s abrasion-resistant and water-resistant, yet quick-drying and moisture-wicking, while being equipped with 11 pockets and reinforced stitching. These overalls are comfortable enough to wear all day, have a 4-way stretch that gives you movement freedom for all sorts of activities, and most importantly, give you that understated urban-meets-rustic aesthetic that’s so in fashion these days.

Designer: LIVSN Designs

These aren’t the same 30-buck overalls you’d pick up at the Salvation Army or Shein. Every part of the Ecotrek Overalls has intent and engineering woven into the design. The overalls boast a classic aesthetic, but come made from LIVSN’s Ecotrek fabric – a high-performance, high-comfort fabric made from 70% recycled nylon (retrieved from discarded ocean buoys), 25% virgin nylon, and 5% spandex. The resulting fabric is a clever blend of durable yet soft and breathable. The nylon and the weave make the fabric abrasion-resistant (no more ripped or scuffed cloth), while still having the plush comfort of your favorite pair of sweatpants. A water-repellent coating allows the overalls to be stain-resistant and hydrophobic, so they never get dirty, and you can wear them in the rain without getting soaking wet. Even if you do, the fabric dries fast, getting you back in action quicker than you would with cotton or denim clothes.

Women’s Ecotrek Overalls feature Gnara’s patented GoFly® Technology: a zipper design that will change your life next time you “go” outside.

The fabric is just half of what makes the Ecotrek Overalls what they are. The garment’s design is an eclectic blend of fashionable yet outdoor-friendly. Available in a variety of earthy colors and with a perfect fit thanks to the flexible, body-hugging design and adjustable straps, the overalls can be worn on treks, at campsites, while tailgating, on the subway, at a friend’s place, a barbecue, or even in bed. 11 pockets make the overalls perfect for storing all your gear while keeping them fairly accessible. Kangaroo-style pockets on the front let you dig your hands in to warm them, while multiple pockets on the sides, the rear, around the thigh, or even on the front and the inside give you a place to store all your EDC from your phone/wallet/keys to your multitools, sunglasses, and even some snacks if you find yourself getting hungry on the road.

The design surprises with a few rather clever details too, from double knee and double seat fabrics that let you kneel and sit for hours without worrying about the overalls getting scratched, to adjustable cuffs on the base that let you tighten the pants around your ankles. Reinforcements at common failure points make the overalls last longer than most, and YKK zippers ensure top-of-the-line hardware. For men, the overalls come with a gusseted crotch that provides extra comfort and stretch, while for women, LIVSN partnered with Gnara to incorporate patented GoFly zippers that travel all the way down the front to the back, allowing you to answer nature’s call in the wilderness without having to take your entire overall off.

LIVSN designed the Ecotrek Overalls to be perfect for the active lifestyle. The evergreen aesthetic works well on hikes, camping trips, cycling expeditions, skating at the park, or even urban living. Each Ecotrek Overall comes in 3 colors, olive, caramel, and a men-exclusive grey, or a women-exclusive plum truffle. Men have 7 sizes to choose from, while women get 13 size options. The Ecotrek Overalls are backed by a lifetime guarantee on manufacturing defects, and if the garment suffers wear and tear or damage with regular use, LIVSN promises lifetime at-cost repairs without any markups or extra fees. The overalls start at $169 on Kickstarter, giving you a chance to grab a cool $60 discount from the original MSRP of $229.

Top 10 Smallest Gear And Gadgets to Absolutely Upgrade and Elevate your Life

Posted on by

With time, and with innovation, humanity has the ability to shrink some amazing technologies down to size. See televisions today versus 50 years ago. Or look at storage from the decades gone by and take a look at how much bizarre storage today’s SSDs offer. The way it works is that innovation catches up with intent, allowing humans to make things better, sleeker, and more efficient. What we’ve managed to do today is take a look at 10 products that have benefitted from this fusion of innovation and intent. These ten tiny thingamajigs here (I have a thing for alliterations) aren’t just ‘small for the sake of small’… they’re highly functional too, from being the most compact and powerful espresso maker we’ve seen, to 4K VR headsets the size of swimming goggles. The only thing that isn’t tiny here is this list!

1. Smallest EDC Multitool – KeyMaster Titanium Multitool

A key unlocks a lock… the KeyMaster unlocks life. Named clearly after its tiny, key-shaped design that’s small enough to sit on your keychain, the KeyMaster is a pocket-sized powerhouse. Crafted from ultra-durable Grade 5 titanium, it effortlessly tackles tasks from opening bottles to fixing your bike. Despite its comprehensive functionality, the KeyMaster’s unique design keeps it remarkably lightweight at just 29 grams (1 ounce), ensuring it remains a lifelong companion on your keychain. Despite its ridiculously small size, the KeyMaster packs a whopping 14 tools, including a foldable knife with a removable blade. Why a removable blade, you ask? So that it’s easy to maintain, and it’s TSA friendly!

2. Smallest Espresso Maker – Wacaco Minipresso GR2

An impressive 5 centimeters (2 inches) smaller than the original Minipresso, the Wacaco Minipresso GR2 is a tinier yet mightier espresso maker that gives you strong, fresh coffee on the fly. The new design has an adjustable basket letting you load anywhere between 8 to 12 grams of coffee, with a double-walled container that holds 80ml of water. The way you use the Minipresso remains the same. A hand-powered pump lets you manually create 8 bars of pressure (the perfect amount for espresso), giving you the perfect extraction with zero electricity. The entire device is about as small as a beer can, and comes with its own cup that you can extract your espresso into. No more compromising with instant coffee while traveling – the Wacaco Minipresso GR2 lets you brew fresh coffee anywhere… no questions asked.

3. Smallest Device Charger – MELLO 20W GaN Charger

It looks like a key-fob, but can fast-charge your phone. Sounds magical, doesn’t it? Well, MELLO holds the title of being the world’s tiniest/sleekest charger. Built using GaN technology, the ridiculously small charger outputs 20W of power, giving your phone enough juice to charge faster than your standard 15W charger. The MELLO sports a foldable design, with the pins tucking right into its unique framework. It comes in three plug styles, and you can choose the variant based on the type of socket you’ve got in your own country. What’s more, the MELLO comes with its own lanyard-shaped USB-C charging cable too, so this tiny little thing that can strap to your keychain transforms into a full-fledged charger for your phone or earbuds – adapter, cable, and all!

4. Smallest Bluetooth Speaker – Marshall Willen

Before you come for me, I’d like to explain myself. The idea with this collection of gadgets and gear was to balance size with functionality. A sachet of instant coffee might be smaller than the Wacaco coffee machine we described earlier, but it isn’t superior to fresh-brewed coffee. Similarly, the internet is filled with tiny Bluetooth speakers that provide a pathetic excuse for sound, but they don’t stand up to the Marshall Willen. Measuring just 4 inches tall, this palm-sized speaker has a 10W amp and a passive radiator, giving you sound you wouldn’t believe could come from something so small. 15 hours of playback, IP67 water and dust resistance, and the ability to ‘stack’ or connect multiple Willen speakers together makes this a true portable powerhouse of punchy audio.

5. Smallest Power Bank – Statik Snap-n-Charge (3000mAh)

The Snap-n-Charge from Statik is yet another example of balancing size with ability rather well. It’s a compact, pill-shaped charger that quite literally snaps onto the bottom of your phone using a novel magnetic charging port architecture, giving your phone a 3000mAh battery boost. Sure, most will say that 3000mAh isn’t great by today’s standards, but it’s enough to get you through about a weekend. Most smartphones have batteries maxing out at 4000 or 5000mAh, so the Snap-n-Charge should get you from 20% or battery-saving mode to 100% in no time. The power bank comes with its own snap-on adapter that you plug into your phone, allowing you to attach the power bank using a magnetic fixture sort of like the MagSafe seen on MacBooks back in the day. Quite impressive for a $29 power bank, am I right?

6. Smallest 4K Camera – Insta360 GO 3S

You look at the Insta360 GO 3S and your first reaction is probably “That isn’t so small”. The GO 3S looks like it’s the size of a regular action camera… but what you don’t realize at first is that the camera isn’t the entire device, it’s the small pill-shaped module that sits inside the device. Touted as the world’s smallest 4K action cam, the GO 3S weighs a paltry 35 grams and is tiny enough to fit wherever you want it. A magnetic design lets it snap onto a variety of accessories for a unique PoV, and the larger housing itself gives you the added advantage of a battery boost, along with a flip-out display that lets you see what your camera sees. The camera records in 16:9 landscape and portrait formats, as well as a 1:1 square ratio for the ‘gram. It captures in 4K, has a total recording time of 170 minutes (with the larger camera body), comes with stabilization, and is IPX8 waterproof up to 16 feet. Content creation never looked this compact.

7. Smallest 4K Projector – LG CineBeam Q

You can’t follow a 4K camera with a 1080p projector, now can you? In the spirit of going big or going home, this is the LG CineBeam Q, a portable projector that comes with its own handle that doubles as a kickstand. Debuted at CES 2024 this year, the CineBeam Q is an oddly appealing projector that takes on a Braun-esque design language and an avant-garde functional approach. Once you’ve set the projector up, using the handle to prop it at any angle, the CineBeam Q outputs a 4K projection up to 120 inches diagonally, giving you a bona fide cinema experience wherever you go. 500 ANSI lumens means a bright projection that’s good even in dimly lit settings, and a smart design lets you tap into all kinds of content without needing an extra Chromecast or what have you. At $1,299, it might be a little prohibitively priced for the mid-range consumer, but if design, functionality, and compactness are what matter to you, the LG CineBeam Q makes for a terrific pick.

8. Smallest VR Headset – Bigscreen Beyond

Speaking of prohibitive pricing, it does make sense for some products to get more expensive as they grow more compact. Take the Bigscreen Beyond VR headset – currently the world’s tiniest immersive virtual reality headset. No larger than a pair of swimming goggles, the Beyond may not look like much, but it comes with two 1-inch OLED microdisplays, each at a resolution of 5120×2560, and support for 75Hz and 90 Hz refresh rates. You’ve got 6DoF movement, giving you the most comfortable immersive VR experience in an ergonomic, tiny form factor. I say ergonomic because the Beyond’s eye-guard comes 3D printed to your own face’s measurements, ensuring a perfect fit. The entire device weighs a paltry 127 grams (4.4 ounces), and given its small size, it doesn’t work standalone – so you need to tether it to a device running VR software. The caveat here, is that the Beyond is priced at $999, which enters Quest Pro territory (that offers pass-through, hand-tracking, and runs on a standalone OS)… but like I said, if you want the smallest, most powerful VR headset money can buy, the Bigscreen Beyond is where it’s at.

9. Smallest Gaming Device – Tiny Circuits Thumby

Let’s also indulge the absurd for a second here with the Tiny Circuits Thumby. Quite literally the size of a thumbnail, the Thumby holds the title of the smallest gaming console to be publicly available to consumers. Tiny but mighty, the actually lets you play games on it, even though it’s less than an inch tall and weighs about as much as an individual AirPod. This keychain-sized console boasts a 72×40 monochrome OLED display and 2MB of storage, letting you play 5 pre-loaded games with the option to expand your library via MicroUSB. And yes, it can even run a version of Doom! The Thumby’s tiny frame belies its powerful core. A Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 processor brings games to life on the crisp 72×40 monochrome OLED display. Navigate worlds and unleash actions with the intuitive 4-way D-pad and 2 buttons. With a surprisingly large 2MB of storage, the Thumby keeps you entertained for hours on its 40mAh battery.

10. Smallest Outdoor Flashlight – MiCoin Rechargeable Flashlight

Roughly the size of an AirTag, the MiCoin is portable, powerful, and durable flashlight that’s designed to sit on your keychain and outshine your smartphone’s pithy torchlight. It comes with a titanium shell that makes it destruction-proof (you could literally run over it with your car and the MiCoin would shrug it off), and houses a 300-lumen light that has a whopping 32-meter range. For comparison, the smartphone flashlight outputs not more than 10 lumens. This means the MiCoin is vastly better at illuminating the world around you than your phone is, making it exceptionally handy in the outdoors, or even indoors. It attaches to your keychain, comes with a USB-C port for charging, has tritium slots that let you find the flashlight in the dark, and boasts a single button that lets you cycle through the MiCoin’s 5 lighting modes – 4 brightness levels, and 1 strobe mode for emergencies. Quite impressive for something that’s literally the size of a coin, no?

(Bonus) Smallest/Slimmest Mechanical Keyboard – lofree EDGE

I’d be remiss if I left the lofree EDGE out of this curation. Sure, it isn’t the smallest keyboard out there, but the lofree EDGE holds the distinction of being the thinnest mechanical keyboard ever made. Weighing just a pound and measuring a mere 5.4mm at its thinnest point, the EDGE still manages to retain its mechanical keyboard status thanks to a completely re-engineered internal AND external structure. The outside uses a magnesium frame and a carbon-fiber upper plate, along with redesigned keycaps that are slick but still boast ergonomics. On the inside, redefined Kailh mechanical switches provide the oomph of a mechanical keyboard in the form factor of something that looks as sleek as a laptop keyboard. It might seem trivial to the eye, but the amount of engineering gone into building the EDGE feels dizzying. Think about it, a mechanical keyboard that weighs less than half of its competition, and measures about as much as two smartphones at its thickest point… and just more than the new M4 iPad Pro at its thinnest.

Pocket-sized 2TB SSD offers new age EDC-style data storage for creative professionals and vloggers

Posted on by

Current-day gadgets bring limitless possibilities for creatives and professionals, be a photographer, videographer or audio engineer. The only thing that can be a hurdle is the amount of storage you have at hand. Portable hard drives are a good solution but there’s always scope for better. The size of HHDs and SSDs has reduced significantly in the last few years and this cool EDC for your data storage requirements is a game changer.

Meet Speekeys, a portable SSD enclosure that measures half that of a credit card and has a thickness comparable to a GoPro. The lightweight gadget weighing just 48 grams challenges the status quo of a standard EDC that can be carried in a pocket. Yes, this high-speed data hub keeps your data safe on the go and can be stuffed in your pocket or simply hooked to a backpack with a standard lanyard. The drop-proof hub has a water-resistance rating of IP54, making it ideal for content creators who travel a lot.

The M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure comes with USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connectivity enabling high transfer speeds of up to 1000MB/s. So, you won’t have to wait for a long time to transfer big files back and forth. Speekeys has a maximum storage capacity of 2TB which should suffice all your storage needs. Just for comparison, 2TB is enough to store more than a 100 PC games, over 500 HD movies, 100 hours of 4K footage (at 60fps), or if you’re the corporate kind, 13 million documents. It is fitted with a built-in cooling solution to maintain optimal temperature for optimal performance. The maker provides the cute little accessory with a data cable lanyard for plug-and-play convenience across all your devices.

The entire device measures 58mm x 41mm (2.2 inches x 1.6 inches) and weighs a paltry 48 grams. Contrast this with what most 2TB storage solutions would weigh just a few years back and you realize how far we’ve come. The Speekey itself is just an enclosure, which means you have the choice of which SSD to mount inside. More than happy with just 500GB? Or maybe your budget permits just 1TB of storage – buy the M.2 SSD and insert it into the Speekey and you’ve now got yourself the most portable high-capacity hard drive ever.

The gadget EDC is made of an aluminum shell that comes with a silicone case for maximum protection. The USB-C connection means your SSD can be used with a whole range of devices, from phones and tablets to laptops, gaming consoles, drones, and even handheld cameras. Its compact design means carrying it is a breeze, and unlike with cloud storage (that you can access on multiple devices), you ACTUALLY own your data instead of having it on a cloud server somewhere. Oh, and a built-in magnetic design means your Speekey can attach to the back of your iPhone or any metallic object, making carrying it a breeze.

The SSD enclosure starts at a mere $29, which means you can then invest in a high-end SSD to mount on the inside. Each Speekey includes a data cable that transforms into a lanyard for easy carrying, and you’ve got as many as 5 colors to choose from including, obviously, an all-transparent version!

Ultimate Portable Air Pump for Adventurers: HOTO Air Pump Master

Posted on by

Inflating car tires, bike tires, sports equipment, and inflatable furniture can be a hassle, especially for outdoor adventurers, families, and those handling daily tasks. Traditional pumps are cumbersome, limited in function, and inefficient, often requiring multiple devices for different tasks. This adds bulk and complexity to your gear and involves manual effort and time consumption, particularly for high-pressure inflations. Achieving precise pressure levels with conventional pumps is difficult, often resulting in under-inflation or over-inflation. Portability constraints further exacerbate these issues, as most traditional pumps are not designed for easy transport, making them impractical for travel and outdoor activities.

This Saucepan Lid with a Built-in Chimney to filter fumes might be the most brilliant idea of the decade

Posted on by

Whoever invented this deserves a Nobel prize. Imagine being able to cook at home without staining your walls with oil, or without flagging the smoke detector. Meet Oilvent, a simple splatter-proof lid that sits on top of any pan you’re cooking with. Equipped with its own built-in chimney, the Oilvent filters and scatters fumes, while catching oil molecules that often end up creating grease-films around our kitchen. Instead of your kitchen needing to have a chimney, the Oilvent just directly puts one right over your utensil. It’s perhaps the smartest product I’ve seen in a while and costs 1/5th of what a modular kitchen chimney would.

Designer: oilvent

Click Here to Buy Now: $69 $139 (50% off) Hurry! Only 206 out of 700 left.

Think of the Oilvent as basically a portable chimney that fits on top of any cooking utensil you have. It has the shape and size of a large lid, sitting on small saucepans, wide skillets, or even large crock pots with ease. A mesh lid helps prevent splattering liquids from splashing out and onto the counter (or on you), and a handle focuses in on the center of the lid, which has a built-in air venting and filtration system. It’s a simple solution to a very common kitchen problem – smoke, grease, splatters, and VOCs. I say ‘simple solution’ because it’s so easy to visually grasp the two distinct parts of the Oilvent’s design… but on the inside, it’s a cleverly engineered chimney system that uses multiple filtration layers, and a powerful yet quiet fan that keeps your kitchen free of dense smoke and strong odors.

The Oilvent’s design truly evokes one of those “why did nobody ever think of this before?” moments. It comes with a lid-shaped form factor that also stands vertical, like a fan. This means, you can either use the Oilvent as a lid while cooking, or if you’ve got multiple burners working, just place the Oilvent vertically near your stove and it works like a chimney, sucking fumes from your stovetop in and filtering them out. For a more messy meal, however, all you need to do is lift the Oilvent and place it horizontally on top of your cooking vessel.

Place the Oilvent on top of your pan, switch the fan on, and two things happen – for starters, the Oilvent’s outer mesh layer keeps bubbling liquids or hot oil from splashing out of the pan and onto your counter or your skin. Simultaneously, the Oilvent’s mini-chimney gets to work, sucking air through as many as 4 different layers to catch grease molecules, charcoal soot, dense smoke, and volatile organic compounds or VOCs. The cooking fumes that usually happen during roasting, frying, sauteing, or reducing get turned into vapor – vapor that doesn’t stink up your kitchen, grease your walls, or trigger your smoke alarm.

The Oilvent’s large design means it can sit on any utensil comfortably without you worrying about size. Measuring 380mm or 15 inches wide, it works perfectly with all your utensils, sitting comfortably on top of their rim. The wide metal mesh serves an additional purpose apart from just containing splatters – it works as a sieve too, allowing you to do things like strain out pasta water, bacon fat, chicken/beef/veggie stock, etc. Use it just the way you’d use a strainer to separate liquids from solids… smart, eh?!

Four different filters in the Oilvent’s chimney help capture and purify fumes

The Oilvent works straight out of the box, needs no installation the way a chimney would, and can be used in both on-utensil and standing formats. A single button lets you switch the fan on or off, and toggle through 3 different speed settings. Even at its highest speed, the fan just outputs 42 decibels, which is around the decibel level in a library. Once you’re done using the Oilvent, simply detach the handle (which houses the electronics) and place the mesh in a dishwasher to clean it.

The Oilvent comes in one singular size, and runs on long-lasting 18650-type batteries. These batteries are rechargeable, offering more than 2 hours of continuous usage, and depleted batteries can be juiced in just 10-20 minutes using a standard battery charger.

Designed to practically replace chimneys, the Oilvent is perfect for small homes, rented apartments, RVs, hostels/dorms, or any place where a chimney is difficult to come by. It’s versatile, works flawlessly, can be used both standing/resting positions, and costs just a fraction of what a modular chimney would. The Oilvent’s filtration system should last as long as the product does, although the activated charcoal filter is the only part that needs replacing every 2-3 months. Each Oilvent does come with a spare set of AC filters to make things easier. The Oilvent starts at $69, and ships globally.
