I Switched from Google Nest to Amazon Ring—Here’s My Review

For years, I trusted Google Nest for my home security setup. I had the Nest Cam Outdoor (first gen), and more recently, the Nest Doorbell (Wired, 2nd gen).

Shokz OpenFit 2 Review: Great for Runners, Not for Bass Lovers

Most earbuds try to shove sound straight into your ear canal. The Shokz OpenFit 2 takes a different approach with an open-ear design, which means they sit just outside your ear and let air flow.

The Eero 7 was announced in February 2025 and launched in Canada on March 26. I recently tried out a 3-pack of the Eero 7 (thanks Amazon Canada), swapping it for my old Eero 6+ setup, which included an extra unit in the garage. Now, I’m using three Eero 7s plus the Eero Outdoor 7...
