One of the most interesting gadgets I’ve tested in the past few years was the Matrix PowerWatch: a fitness-tracking timepiece powered only by the wearer’s body heat. The battery-free technology was neat, but the watch’s limited functionality wasn’t. Matrix Industries’ new PowerWatch X promises to be a more useful and capable wearable, but even with infinite battery life, it still falls short of being a useful smartwatch.

With the exceptions of cherry tomatoes—which are good pretty much all year—I try to avoid buying tomatoes until at least July, as purchasing them any earlier usually leads to disappointment. But I’m not perfect, and the other day I slipped up and bought (quite) a few on the vine. They were, as one would expect, a little lackluster in the flavor department.

When you’re the hunt for a new job you can typically narrow down your search by things like city and salary, but your standard job search leaves one pretty important criteria out of the equation: commute time. While there are definitely some dream jobs out there worth picking up and moving for (or dealing with that hour-long commute both ways), there are also plenty of jobs that you might instantly regret accepting once you realize how brutal that drive really is.

Creditors can lower your credit limit at pretty much any time and for any reason, as long as it’s allowed in your user agreement. It happens to people with good credit and bad credit, to people who have been with their bank for a decade or less than a year. In other words, it can happen to anyone, but you’re especially at risk if you make late bill payments, have accounts in collections or if you filed for bankruptcy.

Then I tried the Notes app. Now I put them in Wunderlist, a to-do app. It’s not my favorite to-do app—Microsoft even released another app to replace it—because I use my favorite to-do app for my actual to-dos.

When the Apple Watch launched in 2015, it wasn't exactly clear who, or what, it was for. It was a phone accessory meant to curtail some of the notification anxiety the phones themselves had created by paring your digital life down to only the most essential disturbances.

One of the best controllers you can get for your PC or Xbox is the super customizable Microsoft Elite, but if you’re a PS4 fan you’ll have to go to third party peripheral maker Scuf to get any kind of customization. We’ve liked Scufs PS4 controllers in the past quite a bit, but its latest PS4 controller, the Vantage, throws out the PS4 design to create a hybrid even Microsoft would be proud of.

Earlier this year, the media got very excited about Trump.dating, a site for the pro-Donald set that promised to “make dating great again.” Much of the media coverage was critical: The site only allowed users to conduct heterosexual searches; the male-half of the couple originally featured on the homepage had a child sex conviction; and its creator didn’t seem to actually exist.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has spent a year acting as a cheerleader for community support groups, especially those focused on addiction recovery.

I’m spending this week in Scotland, a journey that started for me at 5am Tuesday and thanks to weather on the east coast ended in me not arriving in Edinburgh until 9am on Thursday. The issue came when my flight from San Francisco to JFK wasn’t allowed to land because of approaching weather, a problem that forced the plane to divert to Philadelphia and sit for 3 hours, the 3 hours that just happened to be when my flight to Edinburgh took off. The best news? The next flight wasn’t until 7pm the next day.

For all I know they actually might still be in my “travel drawer” in my old apartment.
