For example, if you have kids, you may want to tell it to avoid a playroom where there are usually toys all over the floor. Or you might want to tell it not to go beneath a sofa where you’ve hidden a bunch of cabling out of sight, and want to ensure it doesn’t unplug half your home....

When restauranteur, author, and TV host David Chang joined the Netflix content machine, he did so with the interesting and occasionally illuminating documentary series Ugly Delicious. The show was not only a peek into the life and inspirations of one of the hottest restauranteur’s around, it also aimed to broaden viewers’ understanding of cuisine of all kinds, from a variety of different cultural perspectives. It was, to put it simply, a potential way to fill the Parts Unknown-sized void left by the loss of Anthony Bourdain....

And, friends, I’ve tested a lot of network gear in my day. For example, for years now Wi-Fi router companies have been claiming they could break the 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) barrier. Spoiler alert: None of them could....

Attaching Tile trackers to your valuables is one way to help you find them if they are misplaced, but it’s a slightly clunky way of doing it. That’s all set to change, though, as the company partners with a number of brands to build its Bluetooth tracking technology into their products.
