You can never have too much home security.

Why you should buy the TP-Link Tapo MagCam

Designed to capture a 150-degree field of view at up to 2K resolution, the Tapo MagCam delivers crisp-clear visuals. Thanks to its 2K QHD capabilities, a digital zoom won’t turn faraway details into a mishmash of pixels. And thanks to the built-in Starlight sensor and spotlights, the MagCam is able to capture nighttime footage in full color, too. On a full charge, you can expect the Tapo MagCam to last up to 300 days, at which point you’ll just need to recharge the cam via USB for a few hours.

Motion-triggered event recordings can be accessed both locally (the camera supports up to a 512GB microSD card) or via cloud storage (up to 30 days worth of recordings) with a Tapo Care subscription. A paid membership also unlocks motion detection, baby crying detection, and a handful of other features. We were also glad to learn that you’ll be able to use a compatible TP-Link solar panel to charge the MagCam!

Home security camera deals are a dime a dozen, and there’s no telling when the best brands are going to have the kind of markdowns we’re seeing on the TP-Link Tapo MagCam 2K Battery Outdoor Camera.

Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 Pro review: A reliable kit that’s low on maintenace, high on conveniences
An easy recommendation for anyone who wants a cordless vacuum that is genuinely easy to live with.
Tineco Pure One Station 5 Pro vacuum cleaner

With two young children and two dogs, my floors put vacuums through a real-world stress test every day. Between constant crumbs, pet hair, tracked-in dirt, and everything in between, there’s always something waiting to be cleaned. The Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 Pro solved those those pain points for me pretty well. It can run for over an hour and a half on a single charge, while its base station dustbin capacity outpaces many standard upright vacuums that I've tested over the years.

My smart home experiment has reached its natural limit
Smart-home technology keeps improving, but being easier to automate doesn’t make everything worth automating
Computer, Electronics, Laptop, Smart Home

The first device I added to my smart home was a light bulb. It seemed like the safest possible place to start. I could turn it on from anywhere, put it on a schedule, and eventually work it into routines with everything else.

Then I tapped the button in the app and waited. The delay was only about half a second, but half a second is surprisingly noticeable when the alternative is a wall switch that responds immediately and has never once asked for a firmware update. Using my phone was worse. I had to unlock it, find the app, open the right room, and tap the light I could have switched on several steps earlier.

Google Home's latest update introduces several new features, including Gemini-powered Interactive Storytime. While I’m not sure who asked for the feature, it lets families build original stories about specific topics on the fly, instead of just listening to a known story. 

So what's the big new feature here?
