September 5, 2022

I’m going to keep this one short and simple because I think you should go straight to the top story. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

You don’t own your tech. No, you really don’t. Check out the top story, and we’ll tell you why.

Other Highlights:

  • Some computer mice are just far too clickly to use in the office. Check out these silent options that won’t annoy everyone around you.
  • Leica makes great cameras that cost a boatload. So I bet its new projector is great and costs a boatload.
  • This one-handed Nintendo Switch controller mod is ingenious.
  • … and more!
