Nebula P1 might just be the best projector of 2025
updated
• C37 — motion tracking + solar (rarely needs a charge)
• C31 — wired plug-in (most limited placement)
• C35 — battery / concealable (charge or add solar)
Which power setup fits your house better?

The Eufy C31 has a magnetic mount that works on metal surfaces indoors OR outdoors — fridge, metal siding, backyard fixtures.
C31 just got a little redemption for indoor use.
Which spot would you mount yours?

🐱 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Robot litter boxes are finally cheap enough that most people can buy one — but are the expensive ones actually that much better?
I put the affordable Meowant (~$200–$239) against Petsnowy’s top Snow+ model (~$529) after living with both. Design, smell control, sensors, apps, how often you empty the bin, sidewall gunk, and the real monthly cost of bags + deodorizer.
Petsnowy wins almost every category if you can afford it and have the floor space. Meowant still does the job — and with no forced bag subscription, a lot of people will be happier saving the money.
Links to both products (and any coupon codes) are above.
Petsnowy sponsored this video — like always, if it sucks I’ll still say so.
If you ARE a twin set, contact me — I’d love to send one over and see if you can break face unlock. Serious offer.
In this Short:
• Real spoof attempt on face unlock locks
• Why casual tricks fail against 3D face ID
• Twin challenge open call
Wraps the Deslock face-lock series after solar, anti-hijack, and keypad notes.

You can still unlock from the app, let people in remotely, and schedule face IDs. Fingerprints matter less once face lock is solid. I still want the keypad for guest access.
In this Short:
• Smart lock with no physical keypad
• Temporary guest codes vs app-only access
• Face ID + scheduled unlocks as the workaround
If you host sitters or deliveries a lot, factor this in. Rest of the series: solar, anti-hijack, face accuracy.
Dealbreaker for you — or are you fine app-only? Comment.

Second feature: proximity induction. The lock wakes as you walk up and starts face scan early, which saves battery vs tapping the screen every time.
In this Short:
• Secret distress fingerprint on a smart lock
• Email alert to your registered contact
• Proximity wake for faster face unlock + battery life
It’s email not a call/text — still useful if your phone is always on you. Full Deslock series is on the channel.

Major positive for most people: one battery + solar = set-and-forget. My entrance is boarded over, so the panel does nothing for me. Context matters before you buy.
In this Short:
• Built-in solar smart lock design
• When solar charging actually works
• When a covered porch kills the benefit
Still a strong face unlock lock if you get daylight on the door. Full series covers face ID, anti-hijack, keypad missing, and spoof tests.
Would solar work on YOUR front door? Comment yes/no.

Solar tracking cameras can’t run true 24/7 tracking the way wired cams do. Aosu’s T2 uses micro-snapshot change detection (AOV-style) so you get alerts farther out — long driveways, front yards — without needing constant power draw.

• Aosu T2 AOV / micro-snapshot detection explained
• Why it matters more on solar cams than wired systems
• App dual-lens demo (wide + telephoto)

Short answer: pretty much, and in this case that's actually a good thing. I'm putting the Frio 20 through obstacle avoidance, vacuuming, and mop tests so you can see what that means in a real house.

Most dual doorbell cameras give you that awkward split image. AOSU’s single-camera close imaging can see a package up to an inch away from the door, so you get package protection without paying for two cameras.

Frio 20 uses dual RGB cameras plus Gnarmind Pro (300+ objects). Flow 2 also has dual RGB, but they call it unlimited detection. This first test is adaptive obstacle avoidance.

Is the Narwal Freo 20 just a cheaper Flow 2? Pretty much — and that's the reason to buy it. I put the Freo 20 through obstacle avoidance, vacuuming, and mopping in a real house to see if you should skip the flagship.
I swapped out my 2-year-old Narwal X Ultra, then tested tangled charger cords, dog toys, a low remote, a balloon gauntlet, half a cup of coffee grinds on carpet, pet-hair tumbleweeds, corner debris, and dried soy sauce on hard floors. Same track mop as the Flow 2, same 12 N downward pressure, same 140°F mop water and 212°F dock wash. The Freo 20 does not auto-dispense detergent. I don't care — I pour my own into the clean tank anyway.
Launch price on the Freo 20 is about $900. The Flow 2 is about $1,300 on sale. That's roughly $400 extra for a bigger battery and slightly smarter obstacle AI most people will never notice. Get the Freo 20. Don't buy the Flow 2. If you want a true flagship, wait for the next one.

If you're tired of paying for Google Drive and want your own cloud at home, this walkthrough is for you.

I put the Yoolax motorized smart blinds on camera with text overlays so you can see how the auto open/close actually looks in real life — no long unboxing, just the product doing its thing.
If you're into smart home upgrades, automatic blinds, or motorized window shades that don't need you yanking a cord every morning… this one's worth a look.
Honest take, no hype — that's the Bad Tech way.
Drop a comment: would you run smart blinds in your place?

It uses 3D facial recognition + 24GHz radar to detect you up to 3 ft away and unlock before you even grab the handle. No fingerprint reliability issues, no code to remember, and it's solar-powered so you never have to charge it. I tested if a photo could fool it (spoiler: it can't). Currently listed on Kickstarter at one of the cheapest prices for facial recognition locks right now.
