The Mouse Ziggler is a gadget built for the “work from home” (WFH) era. It’s an undetectable device that makes your employees appear to be there even when they’re not.Mouse Zigglers have experienced a post-pandemic boom, with more than 2,000 sold via Amazon in the UK last month, with most boasting that they are “undetectable”. This gadget is built to generate random mouse movements that prevent productivity software like Microsoft Teams from registering you as “away.”This means that even if a WFH worker leaves the machine, it will still appear as a “green light” in software like Teams. Apps like…

Not every new smart gadget lives up to the hype. The Circular Ring Slim promised to be a lightweight, slim alternative to the usual slew of health-tracking bands and smartwatches, but our tests showed it made too many compromises to recommend it. It turns out. First, let me point out the good points. The Ring’s battery lasted significantly longer than most smartwatches, and the health data it displayed was easy to understand. As promised, it was small and lightweight, with testers reporting that they had completely forgotten it existed. But the good points mainly ended there. Due to the limited…

Yuval Abraham | Local call to +972 | April 3, 2024 | 8,066 words The biggest news coming out of Gaza this week was the death of seven aid workers from the nonprofit World Central Kitchen.

Harry Lieberman | Atavist Magazine | March 2024 | 1,897 words (7 minutes) This is an excerpt from the issue. 149, “The devil has descended on Georgia.”.” In May 1991, Michael Jordan visited Atlanta, Georgia to enjoy the city’s social scene. Jordan, a 21-year-old who lived in Florida, came on vacation and ended up in an area called Midtown. If there’s a gay mecca in the Deep South, Midtown is it. The bar there was legendary. The busiest spots were his brick-walled diving spot, “Phoenix,” and his sprawling three-story building, “Gallus,” a private house turned piano bar, restaurant, and hustler…

If there’s one thing I love, it’s traveling. Whether it’s a weekend getaway, a full-blown summer holiday, or even attending a launch event, it’s great to go to new places. However (and I’m sure I’m not alone in this), I’m far from ideal when it comes to travel. Whoever said it’s all about the journey and not the destination has clearly never visited Heathrow Terminal 5 over the Easter holidays. So I turned to the top travel technologies to solve my problem. I already have headphones, a tablet, and other gadgets for entertainment. What I was looking for was something…

Maggie Slepian | Longreads | April 2, 2024 | 5,423 words Spring in Montana is a season of waiting, trapped in a limbo of rotten snow and inaccessible trails. It makes me feel desperate: a rare warm day followed by another sleet storm, the high-octane days of summer still impossibly far away. In May 2019, I was crawling out of my skin. The high-elevation north-facing trails were still sheets of ice and the south-facing trails were shoe-sucking mud. I was so sick of my gym routine that I’d sit in the parking lot for 20 minutes, willing myself to go…

Don’t mess up your richly colored Chesterfield sofa or first edition bookcase just because you don’t have the time. Automatic shades, like Serena’s wooden blinds, can be programmed to go up when you wake up or go down before bed.

And with manufacturers now offering hundreds of styles and materials to choose from, you don’t have to settle for a circa-2005 corporate office look.”Automated window treatments allow you to set an automatic schedule for opening…

LG’s StanbyME Go is the best Inspector gadget I’ve ever reviewed. It’s a 27-inch touchscreen TV built into (and protected by) a large military-grade briefcase, with an integrated sound system, HDMI connectivity, and the same webOS software that runs on the company’s regular TVs. We are prepared. You can theoretically take it anywhere, but at 28 pounds, the StanbyME Go isn’t exactly a light load, and it’s a stretch to call it extremely portable. It’s fine for car trips, but I haven’t been bold enough to take this on a plane. First, I didn’t want to deal with her TSA…
