Nanoleaf Lines lets you achieve that YouTuber background in your space

Nanoleaf

Nanoleaf has shifted from giving us triangles, squares, hexagons with wood-like veneer to lines. The aptly named Nanoleaf Lines collection is modular LED light panels in a bar shape. These are backlit and connect at a 60-degree angle so you can create the geometric designs you want. These feature dual-colour zones, so the lights can show two different colours. While Nanoleaf Elements had a more natural feel, the Lines gives us gamer/YouTuber vibes from the get-go.

Lines can be installed with pre-affixed, double-sided tape, and they are powered by a large plug with a 14.7-foot cable. Each Line light emits 20 lumens, has a colour temp range of 1200K to 6500K, and can display over 16 million colours. You can connect up to 18 Lines per power supply. The lights are controllable via the Nanoleaf app, an on-device remote, or voice control with the voice assistant of your choosing. It must be noted that these lights only work with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks.

Tinder will let you bring a 'Plus One' you don't know to weddings

Tinder thinks you might be interested in bringing someone you don't know to the next wedding you're going to. The dating app gets a "Plus One" feature, where you can indicate you're looking for a date or are open to helping someone out with that. The experience is found inside the Explore tab.

Engadget noted that the feature responds to something its users are already looking for on the app. Since the start of 2021, the company says profile mentions of "plus one" have increased by 45 percent. But our question is would you want to take a stranger to a loved one's wedding?
