Geneva releases Model XS sound system inspired by vintage travel clocks

The Swiss engineers at Geneva Audio, known for its high-quality Hi-Fi offerings, are now giving customers a reason to take quality sound wherever they go with the Model XS travel sound system ($250). The new portable sound system was inspired by the folding design of classic travel clocks, but this model is all high-tech with a Hi-Fi system complete with speakers, amplifiers, a radio, and an alarm clock, all in one sleek design. 

The sound system neatly hides all these features in a smart clamshell case that opens and closes for portability and convenience. The audio includes a 2.1 speaker system with two 1-inch tweeters and one 2¼-inch woofer, and each speaker is individually chambered and powered, giving users the most accurate acoustics. The Model XS features an LED display, ToughLight controls, and uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that gives up to 5 hours of playback. The portable sound system will stream music from any Bluetooth-capable device (almost any smartphone), and other devices can be connected via a 3.5mm jack for audio playback. The Geneva Model XS is available in either black, white, or red and can be pre-ordered now.

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.
