Mophie's new battery packs can charge phones wirelessly

This week, Mophie announced four new wireless charging products. These include the Charge Stream Vent Mount, the Charge Stream Desk Stand, the Charge Stream Powerstation Wireless and the Charge Stream Powerstation Wireless XL, which function as both wireless charging pads and power banks.

The Charge Stream Vent Mount is, as the product name implies, designed to mount on the air vent of your vehicle. It includes two vent mounting options as well as a dash cup for mounting on a dashboard or console. It supports both Apple and Samsung fast charging and can fit virtually any Qi-enabled smartphone, with easy, one-handed removal. It can hold your phone in both portrait and landscape. It is available now at Mophie's website for $69.95.

The Charge Stream Desk Stand has similar features to the Vent Mount, though it's designed to sit on your desk. It holds your phone at an angle for easy viewing (and Face ID unlock), though the wireless pad can be removed from the steel case and used traditionally as well. You can pick it up this fall for $69.95.

Finally the Charge Stream Powerstation Wireless and Wireless XL function as both traditional wireless Qi wireless charging pads and power banks. The regular model holds 6,040mAh while the XL has 10,000mAh, adding roughly 34 and 40 hours of smartphone recharging, respectively. They both also come with a 10W fast-charge USB-A port so you can simultaneously charge a second device. You can pick up both models now from mophie.com; the regular model will set you back $79.95, while the XL cost $99.95.

Evernote cuts staff as user growth stalls

Image
Note-taking app Evernote has fallen on hard times of late, culminating in its latest spate of job cuts impacting 15 percent of its workforce (54 employees). CEO Chris O' Neil -- an ex-Googler who took the reins in 2015 -- announced the firings at an all-hands meeting earlier today, reports TechCrunch . In a message on the Evernote blog , O' Neill admitted he'd set "incredibly aggressive goals" for the company in 2018. He continued: "Going forward, we are streamlining certain functions, like sales, so we can continue to speed up and scale others, like product development and engineering." The layoffs follow an exec exodus just weeks ago and the company's recent brand refresh (complete with a refined logo and wordmark). But critics are more concerned about its product, especially the free tier, which they claim lacks the perks to...

The best air conditioner

When readers choose to buy Wirecutter's independently chosen editorial picks, it may earn affiliate commissions that support its work. Read the full article here . After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...

We won't see a 'universal' vape oil cartridge anytime soon

Image
Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs? ...
