What’s your stance on AI and how does it shape coverage on Techigar?
I want to put this out there first before diving into the deeper stuff, I don’t hate AI and I’m not necessarily against it. I have absolutely no faith that, in a wider sense, it will be used ethically or that it will be used to improve anyone’s lives. The tech industry, world leaders, and..

Candid Review: Battery Tender 800 amp jump starter and tire inflator
The problem with reviewing a tool or emergency-based item is that you don’t always experience the same scenarios during testing where that item would be used. For example, if you’re reviewing a power station, there’s no guarantee your power will go out or a huge storm will knock out the local grid. You can improvise..

Candid Review: PuroAir 240 HEPA air purifier
Unassuming. That is the best word I can use to describe the PuroAir 240 HEPA air purifier. There is no decked out chrome styling. No bright or vibrant RGB. No gaudy accentuations.

Limitless Innovations packed some hilariously ridiculous stuff into the Elite 15,000mAh power bank that’s the subject of this review today. I say that because it’s packed to the brim..
Candid Review: Innova 5610 CarScan Pro OBD2 bi-directional scanner
This review is meant to complement an earlier one on the Innova 5210 because the tools are remarkably similar.
