Five USB cables and dongles that can fry your hardware, steal your data, or worse - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cables and dongles are everywhere, and we use them for all things tech. While most are simple, straightforward, and innocuous, some are weird, perplexing, and sometimes terrifying. Terrifying? Surely that’s me being hyperbolic, right? Not at all. There are cables and dongles out there that can cause physical damage to hardware or can even be used to hack into devices and steal information. On the face of it, a USB cable with the same connector on both ends might not look weird or out of place (s
Want wireless HDMI? I finally found an adapter that just works - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Once the nerve fibers that connected one bit of tech to another, cables have slowly been replaced by wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Cables are unsightly and quickly become a tangled mess as soon as your back is turned, and wireless technologies are now reliable enough to handle the huge volume of data associated with video. The time has come for you to eliminate another cable from your home, the HDMI cable, and that’s thanks to — take a deep breath, because this has a long na
Need a power bank for seriously cold temps? I tested one at -20F and it held its own - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your average power bank is built to perform in normal day-to-day situations: at home, the office, or the chic coffee shop a few minutes’ walk from work. They aren’t built for harsh environments. Also: I finally found a 65W charger that’s thinner than my wallet and fits behind the couch In fact, blistering highs of 140°F and sub-zero lows hitting -40°F will kill an ordinary battery. Throw moisture into the mix, and most power banks will be dead in a matter of minutes. But not the Nitecore Summit

Read excerpt
Nine years ago, I covered Apple’s launch of its first $999 iPhone, which was not only the most expensive iPhone up to that point, but a product that broke a psychological barrier and paved the way for where we are today — being sold an iPhone 18 Pro that starts at $1,199, and a foldable Duo that tops out at an eye-watering $3,199. Also: I’ve used both iPhone 18 Pro models – how my buying advice is changing in 2026 The image above, from 2017, still represents everything Apple wants people to walk
These $16 EDC pliers are nearly as good as the $35 set I've carried for years - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been a big fan of pocket tools for a very long time. I had a Swiss Army Knife about a week after I saw what MacGyver could do with it, and then I’ve had a whole line of everyday carry (EDC) bits, including multitools and multipurpose keyrings. Also: I’ve tested dozens of cheap multitools, and these are the few that I still use today However, as much as a multitool brings to the table, you’re paying a lot of money for a tool that tries to do a lot but doesn’t do any one thing all that well.
