More often than not the speaker systems in our laptops leave us wanting more, and there are times when wearing headphones is uncomfortable and simply won’t do. Yes, you could carry around a set of so called “portable” laptop speakers or a docking device, but often they’re heavy, require a large amount space, and need to be plugged in to a power supply. That’s where the Vibro Portable Vibration Speaker comes in handy.

Vibro-with-NanoThe Vibro Portable Vibration Speaker is a small and easy-to-carry mini speaker system that works with a wide array of devices and comes equipped with a module that lets you attatch it to pretty much anything — turning everyday objects into speakers. How does it work? Well, depending on the size of the object you stick it to, and whether or not that object is hollow inside, the Vibro will vibrate that object and amplify sound creating a portable speaker from just about anything.

Let’s say for example you had an empty milk carton on hand, you could attach the Vibroy to the carton and just like that you have a portable speaker with amplifier. No longer content with being glorified refrigerated poster boards for missing children, we can now add impromptu speakers to the list of uses for milk cartons thanks to the technical wizardry found within the Vibro Portable Vibrating Speaker. Of course a milk carton sealed and full of milk probably won’t amplify sound as well as one that is open and empty, but it gives you an idea on what types of everyday items you could use.

What makes the Vibro so great is that it’s portable and easy to use, simply stick it to whatever you have on hand and let the music play. The device comes with a 3.5mm audio jack and features a 1Watt output, 300Hz – 10 KHz frequency response, 40ohm impedance and noise level of 78dB. What’s even better is the Vibro can churn out over 10 hours of playback on 2 AAA batteries, and also works with a standard USB cable.

For $29.99 it’s certainly a steal and might make a great stocking-stuffer this holiday season.

DJI’s first 360° drone offers 8K video recording and a freakishly long transmission range
From omnidirectional obstacle sensing to 42 GB of onboard storage, the Avata 360 is DJI doing what DJI does best: raising the bar for everyone else.
DJI Avata 360° drone.

DJI has officially entered the 360° drone arena with the launch of the Avata 360. It’s the company’s first-ever fully immersive FPV drone, and a direct shot at the Antigravity A1, a rival built by an Insta360-incubated brand. Looks like the drone wars just got more interesting. 

What makes the Avata 360 worth looking at?

I transferred all my chats from other AI apps to Gemini — and it works flawlessly
Google Gemini Graphics Featured

You know that moment when AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude suddenly lose the plot mid-conversation and start hallucinating like they’re absolutely sure they’re right? Yeah…it’s equal parts funny and painfully annoying. My usual reaction is switching between apps, hoping one of them gets it right. But the real problem is that I have to start over every single time. It feels like I’m stuck in a loop explaining my life story to different AIs, one after the other.

Now with Gemini, I can now jump in from other AI apps without that whole reset conversation. Finally, the Google gods have blessed us. I tried it out expecting the usual hiccups, but it was surprisingly smooth and quick.
