Colorado Weather: Rain, Snow And A Hard Freeze

Bike pedals have trade offs. Many clip-in pedals provide “float,” meaning they have some wiggle room side-to-side, which is gentler on your knees. The downside is that you need special shoes and your feet are stuck to the pedals—until you decide to un-clip, which many riders are reluctant to do, fearing worse injuries in the event of a crash.

Chinese tech company Tilta has been involved in the film industry for more than a decade. But the industry—and Tilta—are changing thanks to the rise of TikTok and Instagram Reels. The firm’s Khronos iPhone case ecosystem helps support budding mobile moviemakers: The case is small enough for everyday use, but can be augmented with add-ons, including filters, lights, and tripod mounts, thanks to its eight electronic contacts and nine quick-release mechanisms.

Old classics shown in standard- or high-definition can look not so great on today’s ultra-high definition televisions. So Samsung is putting AI to the task in its Neo QLED 8K TV, also called the QN900D. A built-in processor helps power an upscaling algorithm that can turn standard- or high-definition video into crystal clear 8K resolution on the 12.9-millimeter thick screen.

“Today’s consumers are looking for new ways to style their living spaces without having a monstrous black screen dominate the room,” says Baik Seon-pill, head of LG’s home entertainment company product planning division. The LG Signature OLED T, launching at year’s end, has a new take on the subtly attractive TV: a transparent 77-inch screen, on which imagery “appears to float in air,” says Seon-pill.

The very best content creators film themselves from multiple angles for variety’s sake. But what if you can’t afford a crew with expensive cameras to follow you around all day? China-based Insta360’s X4 is like having a multi-camera setup in one device. With two ultra-wide lenses and 8K capture, the 360-degree action camera records everything in sharp detail, allowing users to reframe an angle during editing and to get really creative with the composition.

“Solder is the glue of the modern age,” says Kyle Wiens, co-founder and CEO of repair manual website iFixit. But many people are worried about using soldering irons to fix their personal tech—for good reason. They’re hot, expensive, and can be dangerous. “The initial brief was, What can we build into the hardware to make it much, much easier than any soldering iron that’s come before?” says Wiens.
