The Delta EcoFlow is a new battery generator available on Kickstarter with incredible claimed features. Most are true, some are not.
Device like the Delta offer incredible battery storage capacity. Designed for more than just recharging phones and tablets, these can run refrigerators, pumps, power tools and medical equipment. They’re great for emergencies, camping and general use where power is not available. Similar devices have been on the market for some years so I was eager to verify E

According to DropboxCEO Drew Houston, 80% of the product’s users rely on it, at least partially, for work.
It makes sense, then, that the company is refocusing to try and cement its spot in the workplace; to shed its image as “just” a file storage company (in a time when just about every big company has its own cloud storage offering) and evolve into something more immutably core to daily operations.
Earlier this week, Dropbox announced that the “new Dropbox” would

What’s the lesson of WeWork?
Here’s a startup that has been a darling of Silicon Valley investors for years, whose offices and CEO have been stunningly painted across the covers of major trade magazines and strategically deployed across major tech conference stages, including our very own. At its peak, the company commanded a valuation of tens of billions of dollars and was supposed to be on course for the stratosphere, joining companies like Google and Facebook.
And then it all came

Dir Gute Fabrik It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play, we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend.
For a game that’s a little experimental or offers a particularly unique take, it is often easiest to explain it by finding something to compare it to. That way, in a few words, you can roughly understand what sort of game it is. A Short Hike is like Animal Cr

On Saturday Night Live, there are breaks and then there's whatever happened here.
The Season 45 premiere featured a sketch that was meant to expose the empty noisemaking of political punditry on TV. But part of the joke involved a series of quick costume changes, and some weirdness during one of those switches led to a complete and total breakdown.
Aidy Bryant, the segment's host, couldn't take it. She manages to keep it together until what appears to be an accidental wide shot exposes some of t

Let us connect some dots. Five years ago, Facebook acquired VR pioneers Oculus for $2 billion. This week, it snapped up neural-interface pioneers CTRL-Labs for somewhere north of $500 million, and announced that its own massively multiplayer VR shared universe Horizon will launch early next year.
Oculus became (somewhat creepily named) Facebook Reality Labs, headed by Andrew Bosworth, one of the company’s first 15 engineers, who also headed the company’s transition from desktop to mo

The average Saturday Night Live sketch tends to top out at around 6 or 7 minutes. This one? It climbs past 10 minutes. Like everything else relating to the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, the sketch is overstuffed with personalities and loses the script quickly.
On the other hand, we do get host Woody Harrelson as Joe Biden and guests Maya Rudolph and Larry David as Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders, respectively. Everyone gets some screen time, but thankfully the guests get

This is going to be exhausting, isn't it?
The first episode of Saturday Night Live's 45th season has officially aired, and of course it opened with honorary cast member Alec Baldwin bringing back his Donald Trump impression. The real Trump is facing impeachment, so of course the SNL crew is facing the same thing.
This isn't so much funny as it is a parade of faces both familiar and new. Joining the well-established impressions from Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, Chris Redd, Beck Bennett, Mikey Da

It's tough to practice real self-care when the internet's obsessed with #self-care. Let Mashable help with our new series Me, My Self-Care & I.Self-care is important for all humans, including those floating in space. 
Think about it. If it’s challenging enough to incorporate self-improvement and wellness-boosting techniques into our daily routines, with the benefits of social connection, the pull of gravity, and fresh air at our disposal, how hard must it be for astronauts?

SpaceXCEO Elon Musk delivered an update about Starship, the company’s nest generation spacecraft, which is being designed for full, “rapid reusability.” Musk discussed the technology behind the design of Starship, which has evolved somewhat through testing and development after its original introduction in 2017.
Among the updates detailed, Musk articulated how Starship will be used to make humans interplanetary, including its use of in-space refilling of propellant, by docking

Last-minute touches are made to the Starship prototype near sunset on September 27.| Pauline Acalin SpaceX CEO Elon Musk would like his Starship spacecraft to make it to orbit in six months, he said during an evening presentation on September 28.The event seemed aimed squarely at fans, with little new information and a lot of SpaceX history.
“This is going to sound totally nuts, but I think we want to try to reach orbit in less than six months,” Musk said. “Provided the rate o
