Love science? Love bow ties? How about Bill Nye? You’re in luck.

There’s a belief that says everything old becomes new again at some point. If you’re a fan of the ’90s, you’re possibly a fan, or at least aware, of Bill Nye, “The Science Guy,” who is coming out with something new (but old). He is famous for his educational science show on PBS, and a big part of his image going back to his early days are the unique bow ties he has publicly worn over the years. Well, now you can emulate his look with a specially designed selection of limited-edition bow ties that bear his name.

The product has been announced in line with the release of his new book called “Unstoppable” which is focused on the telling of climate change issues. Nye has managed to stay in the stream public consciousness over the years with a steady stream of statements surrounding climate change.

The ties were developed with the help of Nick Graham, the founder of Joe Boxer. There are 12 designs in all, and they will be available for purchase at retail locations that are science-oriented. This represents only a small sample of all the ties that Nye has collected over the years. Nye’s personal collection of bow ties reportedly numbers at around 400, which he started collecting back in his high school days. At this time, there is no word on any further upcoming ties to try to close that gap anytime soon.

If you are a fan of interesting patterns in your bow tie selections, you will enjoy this lineup. You can choose from stripes, polka dots, silhouettes of Bill Nye, a pattern that says “Science Rules,” and elements from the periodic table. The price is set at $50, and you can rest assured in the fact that 10 percent of the proceeds go toward finding extraterrestrial life and furthering human travel to Mars and other planets.

How to format the microSD card on Tapo security cameras
The Tapo C120 out in the rain.

One of the most compelling features of Tapo products (like the Wire-Free 2K Outdoor Cam and Indoor/Outdoor Cam) is support for local storage. Many Tapo security cameras let you install a microSD card, so you don't have to rely on cloud storage to save all your videos – instead, they're neatly stored right on your camera. Before you can start using local storage, however, you'll need to format your microSD card. Tapo has some pretty strict requirements for how this works, but the process itself is remarkably simple.

Ready to start saving all your video clips locally? Here's how to format the microSD card on your Tapo security camera.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?
The Ring Stick Up Cam Pro on display the 2023 Amazon Fall Devices and Services event.

The Blink Mini 2 is one of the cheapest security cameras you can buy. It's pretty well-rounded too. It's capable of filming in HD and offering support for outdoor use when paired with an optional accessory, making it a great choice for shoppers on a budget. That makes it wildly different from the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro, which carries a hefty price tag and supports both indoor and outdoor use right out of the box without the need to purchase a secondary accessory.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.
