I picked up a Steam Deck LCD for $380 off RedFlagDeals, and for that price, itâs honestly kind of a no-brainer. The previous owner upgraded it to 1TB, which already puts it in a great spot value-wise. And yes â this is the LCD version, not the OLED. But unless youâre a hardcore display nerd or you have the budget to splurge,…
So I charged my 2020 Model 3 SR+ to 80%. Tesla said I had 270 km. Cool. Then I opened the Energy app. It said 135 km. Same car. Same battery. Same moment. Thatâs when I realized Tesla shows two different ranges â and one of them is basically fake. This Number Is Lying to You That…

Why I Finally Switched So I drove an Acura TLX for a few years. Great car, V6, felt quick. But gas was killing me â I was dropping $350â400 a month just to go places. Then I saw used Teslas dropping below 30K and figured⌠why not? Fast-forward to April 2025 â I grabbed a 2020…
My coworker Isabella is still rocking an iPad mini 2 (respect).She also asked me recently: âHey, whatâs the best value iPad to buy right now?â Instead of shouting âGet the Pro!â like every YouTube reviewer, I asked her the real question: In fact, the best iPad for most people in 2025? Itâs not the Pro. âHow…
Graphite, Solid-State, and Why Charging Might Finally Get Less Stressful So youâve heard me say this before â charging myths like âdonât charge overnightâ or âonly use slow chargersâ are mostly outdated. But now weâre moving into a whole new chapter of battery tech.Graphite. Solid-state. Silicon-carbon. It sounds fancy, but hereâs what it actually means for you, your…
Why 83â85% Battery Health Is My Rule for Buying Used iPhones If you’re buying a used iPhone in 2025, battery health matters more than people think. For me, the sweet spot is anything between 83% and 85%. Thatâs my personal cutoffâbelow that, things start getting sketchy. Phones under 80% might still âwork,â but youâll feel the slowdown,…
If you want to clean a used iPhone or MacBook before flipping it, you donât need fancy toolsâjust the basics. Hereâs what I use every time.
