I Streamed 'The Smashing Machine' on My Garage With the Portable Soundcore Nebula P1 Projector
May 1, 2026 6:03 AMThis all-in-one indoor-outdoor projector is highly portable and affordable—but not cinema quality.Courtesy of SoundcoreTriangleUpBuy NowMultiple Buying Options AvailableRating:6/10Highly portable. Good enough sound through the two wireless speakers. Splash resistance when you close the lens. Reasonable price for the all-in-one design.Only OK 1080p picture quality. Only supports mirroring from your phone or tablet. Picture quality settings had a minimal impact.A home theater projector is a smart upgrade if you have the space for one of the often bulky and heavy machines. That is, unless you opt for a compact, portable model, like the Soundcore Nebula P1 from Anker. Weighing just 5.3 pounds and measuring about 11 inches tall and 5 inches wide, the P1 is much easier to move around than the highly capable but less portable Nebula X1 Pro. In fact, the P1 is one of the best portable, indoor-outdoor projectors I’ve tested since 2001 (and I have tested several dozen indoor and outdoor models). It includes two wireless speakers, a large handle, and even has an IP33 rating for splash resistance. And the $800 price is reasonable compared to high-end models that topple over four digits (including the X1 Pro).Over a month, I tested the

They all keep trucking along with careful usage and upkeep. There have been subtle design changes over the years, with newer models offering extensive colorways and upgraded attachments, such as the wooden bowl included with 2024’s Evergreen Design Series stand mixer.

The Tovala Oven and Meal Kit Is Like a Robot Chef of Future Past
May 2, 2026 9:33 AMReview: Tovala Meal Kit and Oven (2026)Tovala is a meal kit that comes with a smart oven, or a smart oven that comes with a meal kit. New family meals make it much more useful. But lord, the sodium.Courtesy of TovalaTriangleUpBuy NowMultiple Buying Options AvailableRating:7/10A smart oven offers fresh-cooked, scannable-recipe meals with nearly no prep time.

And in some ways, it also feels like a very specific vision of the future. Tovala is not quite a robot chef, exactly. But it's not not a robot chef, either. It's a robot chef as imagined in old science fiction, or an episode of Wallace and Gromit.The idea behind Tovala is simple.
