PNOE’s new face mask wants to make lab-grade breath testing a self-serve affair
At first glance, the newest device from PNOĒ looks like something a comic-book villain might wear.

But its purpose is far more benign; it measures how much oxygen you consume and how much carbon dioxide you exhale, then turns that data into advice…

How powerful of a power bank do you need to safely charge a laptop?
Don’t let the big mAh number fool you. The better comparison is watt-hours. While most good power banks can theoretically extend your laptop's runtime by providing a small amount of charge, a proper laptop power bank will store enough energy and charge faster than the battery drains. Two values explain the experience you'll have: watt-hours (Wh) for capacity and watts (W) for output. Power banks provide their capacities in milliamp-hours (mAh), but for a…

iPhone 18 Pro vs. iPhone 17 Pro: What's new?
The iPhone 18 Pro isn't a world-changing upgrade, but it has a few cool improvements to offer. Despite their higher prices, the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max aren't revolutionary upgrades.
