The smart money is now on May 10th, with availability in June. CNBC says it got hold of internal marketing materials showing Google will launch the repeatedly reportedly delayed smartphone at Google I/O.

Mirror, mirror on my wall, are you the fittest of them all? Probably not, but it’s the uncertain future of premium fitness hardware that’s to blame. In my living room stands a mirror. I’ve used this mirror every day for the past three months, though not always to its full potential. When I’m not staring at my reflection in it, I’ve spent an inordinate number of hours pondering where it fits in my life. It might seem odd to dedicate as many hours as I have thinking about a mirror, but this isn’t just any mirror. It’s the Mirror.  The stars hadn’t aligned for me to review the Mirror when it launched in 2018. In the roughly four and a half years since, I’ve heard many a joke (some of them funny, even) about Mirror and the out-of-touch people who have enough space and money to own a $1,50...

Elon Musk’s stated goal of putting humans on Mars relies heavily on the development of a next-generation reusable spacecraft, and now Starship (formerly known as Big Falcon Rocket or BFR) is ready for its first orbital test flight. It’s not the “six months” goal Musk projected in 2019, but after a number of suborbital tests that included some terrific successes and fantastic, fiery failures, the big day is finally almost here. Now that the FAA has signed off, SpaceX says that its first window for a test launch from its Boca Chica, Texas, “Starbase” will open at 7AM CT (8AM ET). SpaceX says it’s targeting sometime around 9AM ET on Monday morning for its test launch, with verification that the craft is “go for propellant loading” scheduled to begin two hours before that. If all goes accordin...

/ After a successful Chris Rock live special in March, Netflix completely fumbled Sunday’s Love is Blind reunion. Delays led the company to film it for on-demand streaming instead.

/ Highlight culture has threatened sports for decades but never made me stop watching games. But if you’re going to show me the best 16 minutes of a 90-minute game, why would I watch anything else?

I spent many hours using HP’s 14, a $289 Windows laptop. You’re all welcome. The year is 2023, and my tireless quest to find a Windows laptop under $500 that isn’t a flaming pile of trash continues. While I’ve long maintained that people constrained to that category should just get Chromebooks, I understand that this recommendation makes quite a few people very, very angry. So I’m coming to you today from the HP 14, a 14-inch silver laptop that we purchased from Amazon for $289. It has an 11th Gen Core i3 processor (yes, it’s an older chip, but that’s why it’s so cheap — such is life), 4GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. This is just about as cheap as a Windows laptop can get. (HP’s listed MSRP for this model is $469.99, but you can get it for far less without much effort.) And to see if it’...
