Microsoft to kick off pre-orders for Xbox Series X mini fridge on Oct. 19

Microsoft

The Xbox Series X mini fridge is coming this holiday season, and Microsoft is opening pre-orders on October 19. It will be available in the US, UK, and Europe for pre-order on that date for US$99.99 (around CA$124 converted). The Xbox Gear Shop will be selling the fridge in Canada, and Microsoft says that pre-order details will be shared "very soon."

This Xbox Series X lookalike can hold up to 12 cans of drinks and has two shelves inside the door to hold snacks. If you want, you can even charge devices via the USB port in front. It has a DC power adapter so that you can bring it with you. The meme is finally an actual product. Are you planning on getting one?

Apple MagSafe Duo Charger can't fast charge Watch Series 7

If you own the Apple MagSafe Duo Charger and got your hands on the new Apple Watch Series 7, we have some bad news for you. Unfortunately, the accessory launched last year doesn't support the new smartwatch's fast-charging feature. You will need to use the Apple USB-C Magnetic Fast Charging Cable to top up the Apple Watch quickly. This might mean Apple plans to release a new version of the MagSafe Duo, which, of course, is an additional expense.

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.
