Porsche Design Studio and the makers of Johnnie Walker Blue Label have teamed up to create a unique private bar priced at an extremely expensive $150,000. Only fifty of these bars will be constructed for clients around the world. Each private bar stands over six feet tall and is built from brushed titanium as well as blue leather and Australian lace wood within the interior of the unit. Utilizing motion sensors, the bar automatically opens 180 degrees to gain access to the alcohol hidden behind the titanium. Once the bar swivels open, the interior of the structure holds three bottles of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, four illuminated crystal glasses as well as chilled water to serve previous to drinking in order to cleanse the palette.

For anyone without $150,000 to blow on a single piece of decorative furniture, the Cube sells for a bit over $750 and comes with an individually numbered bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, four Blue Label crystal glasses, an ice chiller and stainless steel tongs. Based on the smaller size, it’s designed to be placed on a counter or coffee table. Fans of the bar can also purchase the Chiller for $370 which holds a single bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label and is designed out of the same blue leather and brushed titanium.

Both the Chiller and the Cube will be available for purchase at Harrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Royal Mile Whiskies starting this month. The Private Bar will only be available to order exclusively from Harrods. In addition, the private bar will be exhibited at  luxury retail outlets and premium bars in October as well as private auctions and invitation-only events.

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.
