—Casey Crownhart There are two things I love to do at social gatherings: play board games and talk about climate change. Don’t I sound like someone you should invite to your next dinner party?Given my two great loves, I was delighted to learn about a board game called Catan: New Energies, coming out this summer. It’s a new edition of the classic game Catan which has players building power plants, fueled by either fossil fuels or renewables.So how does an energy-focused edition of Catan stack up against the board game competition? And what does it say about how we view…
How do you like your Android tablet? If your answer is “as affordable as possible” and you don’t care that much about the most sophisticated specs and technologies available today, you should probably consider buying the Lenovo Tab M11 at new record high discounts of up to $76.Don’t get us wrong, this is far from a “bare-bones” slate, eclipsing Amazon’s rudimentary Fire tablets, for instance, in most key departments. And at a new crazy low starting price of $119.99, it’s practically impossible to argue with its unrivaled value.Your 120 bucks will of course buy you an entry-level 64GB storage configuration…

Teuber also seemed laser focused on not preaching, and it feels as if New Energies goes out of its way not to make players feel bad about climate change. In fact, as a story by NPR about the game pointed out, the phrase “climate change” hardly appears in any of the promotional materials, on the packaging, or in the rules. The catch-all issue in the game’s universe is simply “pollution.” Unlike some other climate games, like the 2023 release Daybreak, New Energies isn’t aimed at getting the group to work together to fight against climate change. The setup is the…

If saving $40 on one of the JBL Charge 5 doesn’t sound good enough to you, Walmart’s got you covered! It currently sells one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers at $50 off in select colors.

Google is making a change to how it keeps your Google Maps location data. Once backed up using cloud-based servers, this information will end up being stored on-device instead. An email sent by Google to Maps users says that they have until December 1st to save all of their old journeys on their devices before this data is deleted. Keep in mind that Google is changing the name of the feature you might know as Location History to Timeline. Timeline (formerly Location History) is a personal map that allows you to remember routes and trips you’ve taken and places that…
There are millions of insulin-dependent diabetics who would love to see Apple offer non-invasive blood glucose readings on the Apple Watch. This is a potential feature that Apple has been working on for years. Currently, diabetics have to prick themselves with a sharp tool called a lancet that draws a drop of blood. The blood is placed on a disposable and expensive test strip which has been inserted into a machine called a glucometer which reveals the diabetic’s blood glucose reading.Insulin-dependent diabetics need to get their blood sugar reading at least three times a dayThis is an important figure because…
