Anker Prime Wireless Charging Station (3-in-1, MagGo, AirCool, Dock Stand)
Where to Buy:
$229.99 $134.99 at Amazon
$229.99 $134.99 at Anker (with code WS7DV2LJ3JGU)
The Qi2.2-compatible charger supports up to 25W wireless charging for compatible iPhones (the iPhone 16 and up, excluding the 16E and 17E). Anker claims this charging station can bring an iPhone 17 Pro from 0 to 50 percent in about 22 minutes. It also includes dedicated 5W charging pads for an Apple Watch and AirPods (or another pair that includes a wireless charging case), allowing you to power all three devices simultaneously. You can switch between three charging modes depending on your priorities, whether that’s fast top-ups, cooler charging, or quiet, slower charging overnight.What makes this 3-in-1 charger stand out from the competition is its 1.65-inch touchscreen that displays each device’s charging status, power draw, or temperature. If you’d rather customize things, you can pair it with Anker’s app to adjust settings, switch charging modes, and tweak the display. The adjustable phone stand tilts up to 80 degrees, and Anker even includes a 65W USB-C power adapter and cable in the box, so you won’t need to buy those separately.
A few more worthwhile deals
You can buy the Fanttik A10 Pro digital tape measure for $49.99 ($40 off) with code AKJL8MH3 at Amazon, which marks a new low price. The tool functions as both a 165-foot laser distance meter and a 9.8-foot digital tape measure, making it useful for measuring rooms and hanging stuff on your wall. It also features a bright 1.47-inch color display, and supports measurements in six different units. The digital tape measure can calculate distance, area, and volume, too. It supports USB-C charging and stores up to 30 previous measurements. Sounds like a good upgrade to me if you’re always tinkering.
You can save up to $700 on LG’s C6 series of OLED TVs when you buy directly from LG, with free installation and up to $200 in Uber Eats or DoorDash credits that you won’t get from other retailers. The biggest savings are currently on the larger models, like the $1,999.99 ($700 off) 65-inch model. If you want a smaller size, the $1,699.99 ($300 off) 55-inch model is discounted but includes just $100 in Uber Eats or DoorDash credit compared to $200 with larger sizes. All of the TVs in this series sport excellent OLED panels with rich contrast and deep blacks, along with support for 165Hz refresh rate, Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium variable refresh rate, Dolby Atmos support, and more.
Best Buy is throwing in a $30 gift card when you buy the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 for $249.99. The workout-focused earbuds feature secure ear hooks, excellent active noise cancellation, and built-in heart rate monitoring that integrates with apps like Nike Run Club, Peloton, and more. If you’re an Apple Fitness Plus user, you can also view metrics like your heart rate and calories burned. Read our review.

Ah, the relationship between animals and the technology they can’t quite understand. Today, it seems like there’s a high-tech solution to every element of pet ownership, with devices on the market designed to keep pets fed, cleaned, watched over, and entertained. And if you have a pet you know: nothing is too good — or too cutting-edge — for your (furry, slimy, feathery) best friend.But while some tech can help care for your pet, it can be complicated when dogs and cats meet wires and waves. You might feel complicated about offloading elements of kitten parenthood to a robot. Some pet tech innovations over-promise or are over-hyped. And of course, your puppy (or parrot) might well mistake your gadgets for a snack. To that end, we’ve put together a week of stories that explore the intersection of technology and pet ownership. Read on for how to take a decent photograph of your cat, pet scales and the chunky companions who need them, and takes on our favorite tools, both simple and complex.

The Fairphone 6 Plus is the first Fairphone to officially launch in the US. | Photo: Dominic Preston / The Verge The Fairphone 6 Plus is a minor hardware refresh, but a major launch for the company: It's the first phone that Fairphone is selling directly in the US. It's on sale now for $649.99, available through Fairphone's website and Amazon, and is sold unlocked with support for both T-Mobile and AT&T. In Europe, it costs €649, a €50 increase on last year's phone. Fairphones from the 4 onwards have been available to buy in the US, but never from Fairphone itself. They were exclusively sold through a partnership with Murena, the developer of /e/OS, a "de-Googled" version of Android. That meant buyers were forced to use Murena's software - which is c …Read the full story at The Verge.

A $20 network switch solved my Wi-Fi problem better than a mesh node ever could

Wi-Fi is the most natural fit for most connections in a home, especially when you're trying to work around the restrictions of a rental unit or have great distance between devices. When these connections feel slow or interrupted in a certain area, the impulse is to buy more coverage in the form of a range extender or, better yet, a mesh node. More coverage, better signal, and more of the thing you already have. When I had done this in my own home, however, I found that this didn't actually solve the bandwidth problem, but it did inspire a solution that would. A cheap network switch gave me the connectivity I needed, but more importantly, it also freed up my Wi-Fi, and everything in the house got faster as a result.

Your monitor’s USB-C port is more useful than you think, and here’s what you should plug into it

I use the Alienware AW3423DW and AW2725DF OLED monitors with my gaming PC, and while both have built-in USB hubs, only the newer AW2725DF has a USB-C port. It's one of those features I didn't even care about when I first bought it because it had already won me over with its gorgeous OLED panel and 360Hz refresh rate. Now, I just wish the AW3423DW had one too, because I've realized how convenient it is to have a USB-C port sitting right beneath the display.

On August 6th, the Minneapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center lost radar and communications for around two hours. The outage disrupted more than 1,100 flights across the center's 330,000 square mile, nine-state airspace sector. Two days earlier, on August 4th, President Donald Trump departed the White House inside his Marine One military helicopter. As Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) protocol requires, the pilots tried to contact Reagan National Airport to tell them to halt commercial traffic during the flight. But the air traffic controllers never heard the transmission and cleared a different airplane for takeoff - which came clo …Read the full story at The Verge.

One of the best things my smart home does is help me care for my pets, and security cameras are particularly useful for keeping track of my many critters. But the barrage of notifications they send often means I miss important ones. So, when Google announced its new Pet Memory feature for Gemini for Home, I thought this could be the perfect solution.Pet Memory promises to teach your Google Home smart home who your pets are, allowing connected Nest cameras to go beyond simply telling you they saw an animal to which animal they saw. It can then use that knowledge to adapt your smart home to your pet. My plan was to use it to keep a digital …Read the full story at The Verge.

The launch comes amid mounting public scrutiny over how AI tools affect younger users, as other platforms implement their own age checks and teen-specific protections.

One of the great joys in life is having pets. The unconditional love, the snuggles, the excitement they show when you get home - these things add an emotional fulfillment to daily existence that can't be achieved in another way.

Ollama has been my default runtime for running LLMs locally. It makes the entire process almost stupidly easy. I can download a model with one command, run it immediately, and connect it to other apps through a local API without worrying about model formats or hardware configuration. I had no major complaints about Ollama, but I have this habit of messing around and keep trying new things.

When I was a kid, I owned two goldfish that eventually outgrew the size of their tank. At the time, I didn't realize just how much actually goes into having fish and keeping them healthy. I've learned a lot over the past couple of years while keeping nano fish - a group of five celestial pearl danios and four corydoras habrosus - along with some live plants.After filling up a 10-gallon tank with water and adding a filter, I was eager to add my first fish, but I soon found out that the tank must run without fish for several weeks to establish beneficial bacteria and create a stable underwater environment. But the work doesn't stop there. Ca …Read the full story at The Verge.

Pets, like children, come with the responsibility to keep them happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated - obligations I readily committed to before getting my cat, Trevor. I work from home, so he's never lonely, and play with him using a mountain of toys at every opportunity outside of my working hours. But younger cats can be incredibly demanding of your attention.
