Astell&Kern Just Killed the Touchscreen With Two Knobs and $2,000

Physical controls are having a moment. Volkswagen and Subaru are bringing back buttons and dials after years of touchscreen regret.

5 Best Desk Lamps That Light Your Workspace Better Than Any Overhead Light Ever Could

Overhead lighting was never built for you specifically. It floods an entire room without discrimination, casting flat light across everything and solving nothing in particular.

Meet The World’s First 28″ Tri-Fold Desktop Monitor: Hands-on with TCL CSOT Foldable Display at MWC 2026
