Whether you're headed out for the day, or returning after a long night out, how often do you find yourself fumbling for a key? With how big and clunky our keyrings can become, especially when equipped with a Bluetooth tracker, the answer to that question for some may be constantly. It's no surprise either, when you consider that keychains were originally designed hundreds of years ago, that they are sometimes incompatible with daily modern life. So why do we still find ourselves wasting time searching for the right key, rather than making our keyrings work for us?

Enter the KeySmart Max with Tile, a futuristic key holder that is not only compatible with but designed specifically for our busy modern lives. The functionality offered by the Keysmart Max is unrivaled by any keyring you've seen before. This sleek device features a super bright LED flashlight, a bottle opener/flathead driver multi-tool, and full integration with Tile, so you'll never lose your keys again. Speaking of keys, the Max stores up to 14 of them in a protected and organized fashion. Say goodbye to worn out pockets and jingling as you walk around!

With a built-in rechargeable battery, this smart key finder has a distinct advantage over other Tile products. Simply register with the Tile app, and instantly see your keys on a map within 150ft. If you lose your keys outside of that range, not to worry, because the Tile network will ping you when any person with the Tile app walks near them. Conversely, if you have your KeySmart Max but can't find your phone, just press the Tile button and your phone will start ringing.

Life is too short to stay stuck in the dark ages of low-tech keyrings. Invest in your peace of mind and pick up a KeySmart Max with Tile today for only $79.98.

An old lady in England got a voice assistant as a gift. A devout Catholic, she asked it to say the Hail Mary. Delighted when it did so, she made it a daily habit. And Amazon was charging her for it, writes Patrick Collinson, her son. She had "unwittingly ordered" a subscription for an app… READ THE REST

As Ars Technica puts it, "ISPs can't find any judges who will block California's Net Neutrality law", and it's not like they haven't been shopping hard. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, who voted for federal net neutrality rules in 2015 and opposed their repeal in 2017, applauded yesterday's court decision."This is big. Because when the FCC… READ THE REST

When you think of taking notes, you likely envision yourself with a sore hand, furiously scribbling as your teacher, colleague, or boss presents many more words than you're able to jot down. The notes can come out looking disorganized and lacking the very substance that you sought to write down in the first place, leading to discombobulated work… READ THE REST
