Secure any WiFi connection with this portable VPN device

TwitterFacebook

Public WiFi is not unlike a public water fountain or a public bathroom — most of the time it’s fine to use, but depending on where you are, it can be risky. Any time you hop on WiFi at a coffee shop, airport, or even at your workplace, there’s a chance that others can see your activity and intercept your data. But unlike a sketchy bathroom, you can fix it.

The Keezel Safe Internet Device allows you to protect your connection and ensure privacy wherever you go, and without all the hassle of turning on multiple apps. The miniature marvel raised more than $1 million on Indiegogo, and regularly sells for $599.99, but right now it’s on sale for just $449. Read more…

Lynq is a dead-simple gadget for finding your friends outdoors

What is the Atari VCS? We’re not sure either, but you can pre-order it soon

TwitterFacebook

After decades of radio silence, Atari announced that you’ll be able to pre-order its game-console homage to ’80s gaming, the Atari VCS (formerly the Ataribox), starting May 30 via an Indiegogo campaign.

It’s been a long road for the mysterious vintage-looking console. The device, first announced last summer, was supposed to roll out for pre-order in December, but that was pushed back indefinitely due to unexpected production delays. And even if you pre-order it, it’s not expected to ship until the spring of 2019. 

Production delays aside, what exactly is this thing? Read more…

This crowdfunded, low-speed, electric 2-seater is “the iPad of cars”

TwitterFacebook

Electric-vehicle manufacturer Eli Electric has created a futuristic but odd-looking electric car. You can pre-order it today on … Indiegogo? 

Yes, that’s right: A crowd-funded car. That’s not something you see every day. 

The Eli Zero, a two-seater electric vehicle that looks suspiciously like a go-kart with doors, has, in its first few days of crowdfunding, already surpassed its $20,000 goal

We’ll be the first to admit that this thing looks absurdly fun to drive. Its compact size makes it ideal for zipping around the city, or for quick jaunts to the grocery store or gym. But it has a top speed of 25 miles per hour and a starting range of 55 miles, so forget driving it on the highway — or anywhere of consequence, really.  Read more…
