Atomi Smart Coffee MakerThe Atomi Smart Coffee Maker is a decent at-home drip coffee machine. It brews good coffee and connects to Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

German security researcher Thomas Skora has developed an app that can read the details off a contactless credit / bank card using an NFC-enabled (near field communications) handset. The app, which appeared briefly in Google Play before Google removed it, can read the card number, issue date, expiry date, and bank code from contactless cards.
Skora was only able to test his app using German PayPass Mastercards, but it is also believed to work on Germany’s popular GeldKarte.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus (our review) are easily some of the best true wireless earbuds you can pick up right now. Samsung only recently announced them, and they offer noticeable benefits over their predecessors. At launch, the earbuds came in either black, white, or cloud blue color variants, but Samsung is now adding two new colorways to the mix: red and pink.

There’s some consolation if you’re on the hunt for a more affordable Samsung flagship, as the company has cut the price of the Galaxy S10 series by $150. Here’s what you’ll now be paying for the older phones:
In other words, you can get the top-end Galaxy S10 Plus for $150 cheaper thanthe entry-level Galaxy S20. And if all you want is the Galaxy S10e, then it’ll be a massive $400 cheaper than the vanilla S20.
The Android Market holds a lot of useful Android apps for a variety of Android devices. Some of the apps on the Android Market, however, are incompatible with some handset models. This often causes disappointment among some users who would like to try out such incompatible apps on their own handsets.
The good news, however, is that someone has found a method for tricking the Android Market into allowing you to download and install apps to your handset even if the apps are marked as incompatible with such handset.
