Apple is no stranger to weird and wonderful patents and this classic iPhone one is no exception. It surfaced in 2015 and though the Home Button started to be phased out in 2017 with the iPhone X, the patent still makes for fascinating reading. The patent was titled “Multi-Function Input Device” posted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and describes a rather talented iPhone home button which has the ability to pop up and out of the casing, turning into a multi-directional gaming joystick. Yes, really. In normal use the button would appear as normal – flush with the…

Somewhere along the way, HDMI cables became luxury items, with fancy packaging, bold claims, and price tags that make them seem special.

It’s the cable specs, like HDMI standards, bandwidth, and certification, that truly matter. Once you understand these, you’ll stop yourself from overpaying while getting the exact same viewing experience. There’s little difference between cheap and expensive HDMI cables Don’t let the marketing fool you This isn’t an opinion…

There are a lot of big TV shows that depict what the world will be like after the end of civilization, and it’s usually pretty rough. The Walking Dead tortured its characters for 11 straight seasons and is still at it in spinoffs. In Fallout, characters live in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, which is about as cheery as it sounds.

But HBO gave us an even better post-apocalyptic limited series a couple…

This arrangement was lacking in a few ways — Bluetooth is unfit for any high-fidelity listening station, and it’s not ideal for syncing multi-room speaker systems.…

Usually, choosing a pair of wired over-ears is an excellent way to score excellent-sounding headphones on a tight budget.

There isn’t a shortage of ultra-budget wired headphones on the market, even today. Sony’s ZX series on-ear headphones retail for $25 and provide the basics, while…
