Porsche Design’s Soundbar PDB90

With a name like Porsche involved, you know this is going to be good. The PDB90 soundbar is a world-class aural experience that’s as stylish as it is functional. While the design itself may be simple - and there’s nothing wrong with that - it’s the interior engineering that sets…

The Doomsday Alarm Clock

There is a therapeutic practice called exposure therapy in which the patient is, you guessed it, exposed to their fear in the hopes of overcoming it. Eventually, your brain becomes numb to the outside source of one’s phobia through prolonged interaction with the culprit. I don’t know about you, but…

Breville Joule Oven Air Fryer

Okay, hear me out. I don’t need a refrigerator that can connect to my Xbox or whatever other smart appliances can do. Seems pointless. A bit nonsensical. And I’ve seen the 1999 Disney Channel Original Movie Smart House starring Katey Sagal. I know how these things end. But when it…
