Uh oh, could this new product from Quirky be the next true Dyson competitor? As we’ve seen in commercials time and time again, Sir James Dyson boasts about how his cooling machines are bladeless, sleek, and blows direct air without buffeting. With the Quirky 360, the fan also contains no blade – but it’ll blow air in every direction so everyone in the room gets a little piece of the cooling action.
The portable tabletop fan features a circular body that allows the device to blow air in every angle. The user can also select to direct air in one direction if they are using it alone, and the 360 comes with multiple fan speeds. Although the device doesn’t look as fancy as a Dyson (it is, after all, boasting a plastic body and not expensive brushed aluminum), it does solve the problem of how to angle a fan when you’re with a group of people. Although traditional fans take a few seconds to oscillate back and forth, those few seconds can mean a lot of sweat during particularly humid days.
The Quirky 360 is currently under production, and as usual, the company will crowdsource estimates for how much users think the item should sell for. If it works as well as advertised, we’re thinking the price should probably go for $30 to $45? We’re not very good at this game, but that price range seems fair for a little tabletop fan.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
