In this episode, we explore the Bob & Brad L7 Ultra Massage Gun, a $159.99 device designed by physical therapists that combines percussion therapy with heat and red/infrared light. The massage gun offers five adjustable speeds with 25 lbs of stall force, while the heated tip reaches 104°F–113°F to help relax tight muscles. Notable features include a built-in extension handle that adds nearly 8 inches of reach with a 90°–180° adjustable head for accessing your own back and shoulders, a whisper-quiet motor operating at 55 dB or below, and up to 4 hours of battery life with USB-C fast charging. The unit includes multiple interchangeable massage heads, a 10-minute auto-off safety feature, and comes with a zippered travel case. We discuss how the triple-synergy approach—combining percussion, heat, and light therapy—aims to improve circulation and provide faster relief, and consider whether these integrated features offer meaningful benefits for daily muscle recovery and pain management.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the Soundcore Space 2 headphones, priced at $129.99 and available in Seafoam Green, Linen White, and Jet Black. These mid-range over-ear headphones feature a 4-stage Active Noise Cancelling system designed to target low-frequency travel noise, along with 40mm double-layer diaphragm drivers that support Hi-Res audio when wired. Battery life reaches up to 70 hours with ANC off or 50 hours with it on, and a 5-minute quick charge provides roughly 4 hours of playback. The headphones offer Bluetooth 6.1 with multipoint connectivity, LDAC support for Android users, and a 3-mic AI system for calls. Comfort features include protein-leather ear cushions with memory foam and a foldable design weighing 264 grams. The companion app provides EQ customization, a Nap Mode with white noise soundscapes, 3D Audio, and an Anka voice assistant with real-time translation for over 100 languages. We discuss whether the extensive battery life and AI features genuinely enhance the user experience, how the low-frequency ANC performs for travelers, and whether these headphones deliver solid value in a competitive market segment.

Der Steam Controller (2026) ist da! Also jetzt gerade nicht zu kaufen, weil sofort ausverkauft, aber so grundsätzlich zumindest schon mal veröffentlicht. Die zahlreichen Tests zeigen mehrheitlich: Der Steam Controller scheint gut, aber nicht überragend zu sein. Aber dafür hat er unter anderem mit den Trackpads ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Ihn außerhalb von Steam zu nutzen, kann eine Herausforderung sein. Derzeit kann man ihn zwar reservieren, aber es dürfte noch etwas dauern, bis die erste Ladung abgearbeitet ist, und wieder genug auf Lager sind. Natürlich gehen wir auch auf den großflächigen Ausfall von .de-Domains ein. Das Internet ist eben deutlich zentraler organisiert organisiert, als man manchmal glauben mag. Apple scheint nun doch den SoC im Macbook Neo, den A18 Pro, neu fertigen zu lassen, was einiges an Aufpreis bei TSMC kosten dürfte. Ob das Macbook Neo den Hammerpreis zu Release halten kann, ist fraglich. Mike hat die Demo (und inzwischen den Early Access) von Alabaster Dawn, dem neuen Action-Adventure/RPG von Radical Fish (CrossCode) angespielt und ist ziemlich begeistert. Viel Spaß mit Folge 306!

Elon Musk's case against OpenAI is heading to trial. Musk is almost certainly going to lose, but he might still get everything he wants from the fight. The Verge's Liz Lopatto explains how this spat made it this far, and where it's going next.

Is the Fenix HM62-T the new king of backcountry headlamps? In this in-depth review, I compare two of the most popular headlamps for hunters and mountain athletes — the Fenix HM62-T and the PEAX Backcountry Duo — across 10 real-world categories: brightness, battery life, red light performance, fit, band quality, construction, waterproofing, weight, price, and brand transparency. I've used the PEAX Duo for years, but after extensive testing in true backcountry conditions, I put it head-to-head with the Fenix HM62-T to find out which one truly deserves a spot in your pack.

In this episode of The Birdshot Podcast, host Nick Larson sits down with Greg Maher of Meadow Creek Mounts for a conversation about the practical shift from traditional beads to optics in the turkey woods. They dig into the engineering behind rib-mounted sights, the "equalizer" effect of a red dot on gun fit, and why seeing more of the bird is a significant advantage when the shot counts. Greg Maher is an engineer and a lifer in the turkey woods with over 20 years of experience. After identifying a need for better optic placement on shotguns that weren't originally drilled and tapped, he launched Meadow Creek Mounts in 2020. Based in South Carolina, Greg is a dedicated public land hunter who has pursued turkeys in over 20 states, bringing a perspective focused on gear reliability and the "why" behind every piece of equipment in his vest. Expect to Learn: Why a red dot acts as an "equalizer" for head position and consistency in the field. The technical differences between open and enclosed reflex sights and how they handle the elements. Why mounting an optic on the rib provides a superior field of view compared to receiver mounts. A practical "one-shot" method for zeroing your optic to save on expensive TSS ammunition. How to use a bore laser and a reference sheet to ensure your zero hasn't shifted during travel.

Nintendo cuts console shipments, Epic Games lays off 1,000 employees, John and Ryan build an Elite 8 of gaming's best consoles, and Yo! Noid hits the Inflation Deflation hot seat. This week on The Game Deflators, John and Ryan dive into one of the most turbulent news cycles the gaming industry has seen in months. Things kick off with Nintendo's decision to reduce console shipments, a move tied to a cooling global video game market. From there, the conversation turns to the week's biggest shockwave: Epic Games laying off 1,000 employees.  Then it's time for the main event: The Elite 8 Console Bracket. John and Ryan pit generations of iconic hardware—from the SNES and Sega Genesis to the PS2, Xbox 360, and PS3—against each other in a heated showdown to determine which system truly defined gaming greatness. Expect nostalgia, debate, and a few upsets. To wrap things up, the Inflation Deflation Challenge returns with a retro twist as the guys revisit Yo! Noid on the NES.

The panel debates upgrade value, trade-ins, and Apple's AI direction—while delivering laughs about blood-test preorders, “no-good sons,” and iPads that go “womp-womp.” The show notes are at InTouchwithiOS.com  Direct Link to Audio  Links to our Show Give us a review on Apple Podcasts!

The panel dives into the launch of the Vision Pro M5, iPad Pro M5, and 14-inch MacBook Pro M5, exploring how Apple's latest chip is showing up everywhere—from spatial computing to creative workflows. Marty admits to pre-ordering the new Vision Pro while having blood drawn, leading to the episode's funniest moment (“They took my blood, I gave Apple my money”). Jeff immediately volunteers to be Marty's “no-good son” to inherit the old headset, sparking laughter about “device reallocation” policies. Discussion turns to the Vision Pro's new dual-knit band and Hover headset accessory, which redistributes weight to the crown of the head. Dave likens it to “flipping up granny sunglasses,” while Ben compares it to wearing “night-vision goggles.” Chuck's wise counsel: “Wait for the M5 Pro—patience beats payment.” MacBook Pro M5 specs are examined in detail—10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 24-hour battery life (cue the joke: “if you never touch it”), and no Wi-Fi 7 support. Marty shares his “trade-up philosophy” while Jeff laments his $800 trade-in offer: “It lost that much value that fast?” Chuck recommends Apple's refurb store, calling it “the best deal Apple doesn't advertise.” The crew also explores the iPad Pro M5, agreeing that performance gains are meaningful but most users won't need to upgrade. Jill admits her iPad mostly serves as a “sleep-aid game console,” while Eric says Vision Pro has cut into his tablet use entirely. Other highlights:     •    Vision Pro M5's 120 Hz refresh rate and better cooling.     •    No Wi-Fi 6E bump—for $3,500, that drew audible groans.     •    AI readiness of the M5 chip sparks debate on whether Apple even has an “AI strategy.”     •    Apple TV's rebranding from “TV+” to “Apple TV,” which the panel calls “peak confusion.”     •    AirPods Pro 3 flight test: Marty's seal so tight it caused ear “pop-pop-pop” moments, while Dave says noise-canceling on planes “kills all sound, including your will to chat.”   Topics and Links Breaking News  Apple Debuts New iPad Pro With M5 Chip, Faster Charging, and More Apple Announces New 14-Inch MacBook Pro With M5 Chip Apple Updates Vision Pro With M5 Chip, Dual Knit Band, and 120Hz Support Here's Everything Apple Announced Today  In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  visionOS 26.1 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation Apple Updates Vision Pro With M5 Chip, Dual Knit Band, and 120Hz Support

Windows Central's Daniel Rubino talks about the iPhone 17 models Apple (AAPL) announced during its "Awe Dropping" event Tuesday. He calls the Max a strong progression but isn't sold on whether it will be enough to bring people into stores to upgrade their old phones. Daniel mentions battery life being one of the biggest concerns consumers having regarding newer iPhones.
