Storage demands on both consumers and businesses are ever-increasing. Just last year, Samsung announced a 400GB microSD card for use in phones, tablets, cameras, and more. I recently visited CES in Las Vegas and had multiple 256GB microSD cards with me in case I needed to capture tons of footage or have a second backup medium.

Until now, 400GB has been the ceiling of microSD cards, with the SDXC standard supporting up to 2TB drives “in theory.” Well, we’re one step closer to proving that theory with Integral Memory’s latest announcement, a record-breaking 512GB microSD card.

Who has time or even the memory to worry about combinations, passwords, or keys these days? There needs to be an easier way to retain security, but also have easier and quicker access for trusted users. Well now there’s a company that claims to have created the “first smart fingerprint padlock.”

eBike innovations of the past were mainly geared towards minor quality of life changes like longer drive times, more stylish exteriors and lighter frames. And while the folks at Pragma Industries have still put thought into these areas, the company’s real focus has shifted towards a new front, ditching the conventional lithium-ion batteries in favor of hydrogen fuel cells. These efforts have resulted in Alpha, which is said to be the first commercially available eBike to boast such a feat.

If you follow computers much you likely know of the graphics card shortage we’re in right now. Graphics cards like the GTX 1070 went from a launch price of around $350 to now fetching generally $700+ on Amazon, mostly from third-party sellers. Higher-end cards like the GTX 1080 and 1080Ti saw even larger price jumps, and are just as hard to come by. My GTX 1080 that I purchased back in January of 2017 for $650 is now worth over $1,000.

Apple’s latest round of devices have been out for around 4 months now and have already caused somewhat of a boom in the wireless charging market. While CES brought us a wide array of Qi chargers, today the folks at Bourge Design have announced that they too will be trying their hand at what it hopes is the most elegant power station for your high-end iPhone X.

We’ve all been there before, preparing for a big family dinner when you go to grab the turkey, only to find out it was never defrosted. So, you rush to get the turkey out, run it under water, wait, leave it in a bag in hot water, er, there’s nothing really to do.

Frozen meat like that takes so long to defrost that if you forget to do it, you’re really just out of luck. There is no good way of defrosting meat fast, sadly. This new defrosting tray claims that it can defrost a frozen steak in 10-12 minutes, while normal defrosting time would be 25+ minutes. Frozen chicken? Well, Yeti Touch also claims that it can defrost that in 14-16 minutes versus the normal 30 minutes required.

Colgate has a new toothbrush, announced at CES, and it’s only available at the Apple Store. Yes, it’s exclusive to Apple’s retail locations and it has all of the smart features you’d expect along with a $100 price tag. Much like other ‘smart’ toothbrushes on the market from Sonicare, this new release connects with your iPhone to track each brushing and gather data over time.

Native Instruments has been running the music production software game in a major way for quite some time. Along with some of its more recent hardware offerings like the Kontrol series keyboards and, even more so, the Komplete software bundles, its products have become mainstays for amateur and seasoned producers. Needless to say, the German-based company has been producing some of the best virtual instruments and effects for years and it is now ready to take its content management and library system to the next level.

Today, NI is launching Sounds.com. The new platform is a subscription based service where creators can access thousands of new samples, loops, sound packs and more for a monthly subscription…

Hasselblad cameras are beautiful. There’s no other camera a photographer could dream of having other than a Hasselblad, but they come at a cost. The high-end camera company’s cheapest camera is over $11,000. Because of this, Hasselblad cameras are reserved for the high-end only, but that doesn’t stop us from dreaming about the new releases this insane camera company comes up with.

Dash cams are truly fantastic inventions, but very few are actually hands free or at least safe enough to control while driving. But, now there’s a new dash cam called 70MAI that is controlled by just using voice commands to capture the precise moments you need it to. The camera is currently being funded on Indiegogo and with only 24 days left in its campaign, it has already received more that double its goal of $10,000.

Escort is embracing the future of connected cars with its newest radar detector. The new MAX 360c device is able to connect to your car’s Wi-Fi if available, or you can connect it to your smartphone using Bluetooth. The detector will also automatically update to the latest software and firmware without having to remove it from your car.

Nokia may be known for its cellphones of the past, but over the years the Finnish company has branched out to release a variety of health-focused smartphone accessories. And last week, the lineup of Wi-Fi equipped scales, thermometers and blood pressure monitors expanded with the announcement of the Nokia Sleep, an all-in-one device that monitors your night’s rest alongside boasting smart home capabilities and more.

Entering into 2018, retro gaming is as big as ever. Look no further than Nintendo’s very own NES and SNES Classic to see just how large the demand to play games from the past is. If nostolgia-fueled gaming is right up your alley, then Rose Colored Gaming’s latest retro-console remake may be perfect for you. Its new “SNES Re-imagined” brings the 90’s 16-bit console into the modern ages with a sleek, stylish exterior and Mario in tow.
