    [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/ca0e77778003740c1f5cc3931553744f38116254/hub/2024/07/30/76c7b206-aa73-4b0a-9aef-9306985d2907/gettyimages-1302654529.jpg?auto=webp&fit=crop&height=675&width=1200″] Back to school doesn’t mean back to tech upgrades. As inflation rises without wage growth matching it, and consumer confidence worsens, parents are going online more to find deals, even if they aren’t necessarily buying new tech products, according to Deloitte’s 19th Back-to-School survey.

    [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/02468e3f4985b4af7083841f6b77b52499eeff78/hub/2026/07/12/445a0fc8-e476-457a-ae27-6dc4302a042a/untitled-design.png?auto=webp&fit=crop&height=675&width=1200″] We’ve just spotted this Lepro OE AI floor lamp for a new low of $48 at Amazon.

  • Chefs Say These 20 Kitchen Gadgets Are a Waste of Money. Here’s What to Buy Instead

    [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/9ea6467718937865e7bcbf846490a44c5a1d3941/hub/2014/07/01/b5f39054-fe08-4c14-bb13-7ae558aaf963/mandoline.jpg?auto=webp&fit=crop&height=675&width=1200″] Professional kitchens run lean. There’s no room for a device that does one thing adequately when a knife, a pan or a spoon does it better and handles a dozen other tasks besides. Home kitchens tend to run the opposite way: stuffed with unitaskers, specialty slicers and gadgets that seemed indispensable in…

    [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/dbff43b9aec33a7ba030a71627e94dbfdc4b29c9/hub/2025/04/09/cbcd5942-8195-4883-959e-0b8545b8db2a/gettyimages-77510867.jpg?auto=webp&fit=crop&height=675&width=1200″] Old electronics have a talent for making themselves invisible. The laptop that got replaced two years ago is still in the office, the printer that stopped cooperating is in the garage and the desktop tower is somewhere in a closet behind things you haven’t touched since you moved in. None of it…

The door closes, the mess stays out of sight and the intention to deal with it later becomes a habit of not dealing with it at all. By the time most people actually clean the interior, what started…

It’s still the most accurate wearable I’ve tested, but needing to recharge it daily means it often gets stuck on a charger overnight, which is when some of the most valuable health metrics are collected. As wearables increasingly compete on long-term…
