Claustrophobic? The tiniest home in Rome is only 75 square feet of space

Add as a preferred source on Google

There’s no room to roam in this Roman home. Designed and owned by architect Marco Pierazzi, the tiny space has a bathroom, kitchen, and even a loft bedroom. He calls it “The smallest house in Italy,” and we’re choosing to believe him, because the alternative is too disquieting.

The bed rests atop a trap door, so any sort of late-night emergency would require some scrambling to access the first floor. The small space doesn’t house any full-time residents now; Pierazzi and his wife vacated after the birth of their child. Understandable, since the kid probably would’ve had to sleep in the sink. Instead, the architect now lends it out to friends and family looking for a place to stay during a Roman holiday. We wonder how much it would go for on Airbnb?

EcoFlow DELTA Gen4 power station

EcoFlow has launched four new portable power stations under its DELTA Gen4 and RIVER Gen4 series. And there is a rather interesting trick they can pull off when the battery runs out. All four models come with Emergency Power Mode, which keeps a small amount of electricity in reserve even when the battery indicator shows 0%. That's enough to charge a phone or keep an emergency light running on the DELTA models during a power outage.

The lineup covers both ends of portable power needs. There are two high-capacity models for home backup, and two smaller ones for camping, road trips, and other outdoor activities.

Your windowsill can now double as a security post.
Anker eufy Window Camera E10

Every time I look at an outdoor security camera, the same tedious process flashes before my eyes. Drilling into a wall, running a cable outside, and praying it survives the weather. Well, it looks like Anker’s eufy found a loophole.

Anker’s new Window Camera E10 is now available in the US for $79.99 (via Amazon). And now, for the most important bit: it’s an indoor camera that sticks to your window glass so you can watch the porch, yard, or driveway from inside (via eufy).
