While the rest of America prepares for an Independence Day barbecue, the rest of us in New York are still trying to figure out how to salvage this possibly rainy holiday. You may have heard that June 2013 has been one of the wettest the history of the northeast region, and those clouds remain looming this holiday week.

So for those who can’t quite make it to the outdoors this fourth of July? Check out the E Churrasco Barbecue. Sure, portable grills aren’t a new concept, but this is a machine that can give you the flavor of charcoal cooking at the speed of a gas ignition grill. Just fire up the grill to get heatbeads going, then turn the gas off and continue cooking over the coals for that smoky flavor. You can opt to grill over just gas if you’re out of charcoal. The compact size also means that if a glimpse of sunshine happens to peer out from the clouds, the machine can be easily transported.

The E Churrasco is simple way to quickly grill meats and vegetables for a small gathering. While it does not come with a hood (at least not yet, this seems like a easy add-on solution for the company), it does promise speedy cooking times for the festive and hungry. Well, maybe just the hungry.

You can get the E Churrasco from Australia-based Everdure at $300 AUD ($274 USD).

That’s where small appliances like the Keurig come in handy though. Designed to whip up a great-tasting mug of warm delight in just a few minutes, it’s hard to beat the convenience delivered by the popular brand. But Keurig isn’t the only name in town.

If you’ve got a lot of mugs to fill in the morning, or you think you could score a better deal by going with a non-Keurig model, we’re on your side! Here’s five Keurig alternatives for 2024 you can buy right now.

The 5 best office chairs for long hours in 2024

The Verve in an office.

When you spend half (or more) of your day in an office chair, a $50 budget-buy store brand isn’t the kind of purchase you should be making. Not only are these cheap items more likely to break down over time, but there’s a good chance this kind of chair isn’t going to have the elevated support features your body needs. That’s why we’ve put together this list of the five best office chairs for long hours in 2024.

Each of these models are tailor-made for those of us who need a comfortable chair that feels good all day. We’ve also made sure to include a couple of options for folks who experience back pain, shoulder strain, and other sore conditions.

Matter gains support for kitchen appliances, adds new energy-tracking features

Matter received its big 1.2 update in late 2023, and now the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) is ready to officially roll out Matter 1.3. The latest version of the interoperability standard is now available for use, offering added support for appliances like microwave ovens and lclothes dryers, while also introducing new features for water and energy management.

The full list of new device types supported by Matter 1.3 include microwave ovens, ovens, cooktops, extractor hoods (such as vent hoods), and laundry dryers. These aren't quite as exciting or mainstream as the nine device types introduced with Matter 1.2, but it's great to see the CSA continuing to broaden the reach of the Matter network.
