Finally published my review for the Google Pixel Watch 4! It's probably the best Android smartwatch right now. Finally catches up to the Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch

I reviewed Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold. It's more durable and the battery lasts longer, but for $1800, it's just not enough compared to the sexy Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. That is the new bar. Read my review on @gizmodo.com gizmodo.com/google-pixel...

Happy Enshittification Shopping Day! Good luck to everyone looking for a deal this week. Make sure you get it for the actual discounted price, which should be less than the MSRP after the Trump Tariffs and less than the original MSRP

I interviewed Lego Senior Designer Carl Merriam and Design Director Simon Kent, who worked on the 421-piece Lego Game Boy set to learn how they developed it from start to finish.

Gemini isn't replacing Photoshop anytime soon. It couldn't even make this simple edit to change the scaffolding from blue to orange

There's so much that went into designing not just how it looks on the outside, but the inside too. Like the way the buttons and switches work, the brickified circuit boards inside the Game Paks, and more.

Also, will there be Lego SNES, N64, and more sets?

Took me 1 hour and 15ish minutes to complete the Lego Game Boy, but it prob woulda taken under an hour if I wasn't also filming a video of the build... this was so much fun!

I have some early thoughts about the new Amazon Kindle Scribe Colorsoft hardware, the color display, and the writing/drawing experience. Does the writing experience really feel paper-like?
