Blue with envy: restaurant design fuses form and function

A digital design for a digital age — that is what was envisioned for the Tori-Tori restaurant located in Polanco near Mexico City. The stunningly beautiful blue ivy-like structure is now complete and is the collaborative work of Mexico-based architectural firm Rojkind Arquitectos and design workshop Esrawe Studio.

The structure is made of two-layer self-supporting steel that generates the layered and ivy-like façade. Outside, guests can dine and drink amongst natural vegetation, enjoying a remarkably unique dining experience thanks to handcrafted furniture designed exclusively to match the form and function of the restaurant.

While we’re not quite sure how well the form and design of the restaurant translates to the food, we would at least enjoy its digitally beautiful atmosphere.

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.
