I was talking to someone recently who installs a variety of tech solutions in homes who noted as an aside that smart blinds are very soon going to be the standard, default solution -- that there's just no reason to have the traditional set of blinds anymore, when you can have one that operates at the push of a button. That came to mind today in tandem with the news that Ikea has finally started the rollout of its Fyrtur smart blinds in some of its US stores after initially intending to release them earlier [..]

Rats have kind of a bad rap. Yeah, they're scavengers in big cities and have a long and storied history of spreading disease, but generally speaking, they're actually pretty lovely creatures. They're smart, and they make very good pets. That is, unless you have *checks notes* over 300 of them. As the San Diego Union-Tribune reports, a woman was recently found living in a van in a convenience store parking lot, and she definitely wasn't alone. What had originally started as just a pair of pet rats exploded i[..]

The money comes fast in the startup world, the fall may be equally swift. Sometimes the struggle is too much to handle.

It seems that people are finally waking up to the threat of climate change. The most poignant sign of this for me was seeing an infographic I created adorning the main music stage at Reading Festival 2019. While the majority of those in the crowd may not have grasped its true meaning, or been in the frame of mind to understand it, it was a significant moment. A popular rock band publicly endorsed climate research and literally put it centre stage. The climate stripes illustrate the global average temperatur[..]

But by the time Sony showed up to the party with its own PlayStation Classic, the world had seemingly moved on. The mini consoles were indeed just a short-lived fad. At least, that was where I landed before I got my hands on the Sega Genesis Min[..]

Welcome to CHEAP, our series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! Yeah, beating someone online is fun.
