It’s often the little pleasures in life that we can take most comfort in and enjoy ourselves with. One of these is a nice hot cup of your favorite drink. Whether it’s tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, it can be invigorating and get our minds off things or help us get up in the morning. Of course, life also tends to get busy, and that’s when your nice hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate can go cold and start to taste … unpleasant.

That’s where smart mugs like the Ember Mug come in, as it allows you to keep your drink warm and feeling fresh even hours later, and you can even carry it around with you! In fact, even though it may seem like a luxury, Best Buy has a great deal going on with the new Ember Mug on sale for just $130, down from $150.

Right off the bat, one of the big advantages of the Ember mug is that you can set it to a specific temperature between 120 – 145 degrees F using the Ember app. That makes it pretty versatile since you can use it for any hot drink and keep it at exactly the perfect temperature. It’s also great for use in winter, where having a hotter drink can warm you up a lot more. You’ll also be happy to know that it can manage up to 80 minutes of heating, so you can take it with you around the house or beyond, and not worry about your drink getting cold.

If that isn’t enough for you, the Ember Mug also comes with a charging coaster, so in theory, it could run indefinitely as long as you use that feature. It also has a 14-fluid-ounce capacity, which should be more than enough for most folks, although we can certainly understand having a strong addiction to coffee or hot chocolate. Finally, it comes in four different colors to pick from; black, white, blue, and copper.

Overall, the Ember Mug is a great little device if you enjoy having your drinks hot, and with this deal from Best Buy bringing it down to $130, it’s OK to give yourself the little luxury; just don’t throw it in the microwave since it’s not rated for that! While you’re at it, consider pairing this smart mug with one of these coffee maker deals.

Why Your Next Outdoor Security Camera Might Need Three Lenses
EZVIZ Puts Triple-Lens Outdoor Security in the Spotlight at IFA 2026

Monitoring a home often means watching several things at once. Just as a car pulls into the driveway, a visitor might approach the front gate, or movement could catch your eye in the side garden. For many European homes, this is a familiar scenario.

The challenge becomes even more noticeable when a property includes a backyard, detached garage, or swimming pool. Installing another camera for every angle is one solution, but it also means more devices to set up, manage, and maintain.

I played with Yarbo’s yard robot at IFA, and now I want one for every season
One tracked robot, a new job for every season
Yarbo M-series Featured 2

I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting a yard robot to be one of the more entertaining things I’d get my hands on at IFA 2026. Then I walked over to Yarbo’s booth and started playing around with the M Series.

The basic idea is wonderfully simple: instead of buying a different robot for every outdoor chore, Yarbo gives you one tracked robotic Core and a collection of attachments. Swap the module, and suddenly your robot has a completely different job. Mowing? Yep. Snow? Yep. Leaves? Yep. And there’s even a trimmer module on the way.

The future of smart homes may not be more devices, but better-designed experiences

Minimalism has reshaped almost every corner of the modern home. Kitchens hide appliances behind seamless cabinetry, televisions have become slimmer and more discreet, and storage is increasingly designed to disappear into the architecture. The goal isn’t simply to own better things. It’s to create spaces that feel calmer, cleaner, and more intentional. Smart home technology, however, has largely moved in the opposite direction. Every upgrade seems to introduce another speaker, another controller, another light, or another connected device competing for space and attention.
