Electric Blackhead Extractor is gross but handy

NEWS – Where was this when I was a teenager? Actually- I still need this now!

Maswater’s electric blackhead extractor is essentially a safe way to clear your facial pores by removing gunky blackheads through the power of suction. Even those without prominent blackheads can benefit from the use of this product; however, because it also increases blood circulation, tightens up loose skin, reduces wrinkles, shrinks pores, and makes your skin smoother.

The electric blackhead extractor comes with 5 different changeable tips or “probes” that all aid in achieving different effects.

  • The oval mouth probe is to be used on the lips, corners of eyes, nose, or neck. It smoothes out fine lines and reduces wrinkles.
  • The small probe is to be used in all the same places, and it’s main purpose is to remove blackheads.
  • The big probe should be used around the eyes, and specializes in skin tightening.
  • The large round hole head (biggest) should NOT be used around the eyes, mouth, or neck and it increases sweat gland secretion which eliminates bodily toxins.
  • The cold ball probe can be used anywhere on the face, and should probably be used last. It relieves swelling and fatigue feelings and acts as a facial lifter.

This tool works on all skin types, and offers 5 progressive intensity levels of sucking. Those of us with sensitive skin should start on level one, and holding this product in the same spot for more than 3 seconds can cause bruising or redness. Total usage shouldn’t be over 5 minutes, and it should only be used once or twice a week. Slight redness or bruising is normal after the first couple uses.

For best results, remove makeup and open up your pores using a hot washcloth on your face before use. Apply a face-mask after to shrink your pores back down.

It takes about 1.5 hours to fully charge via USB, and the charge lasts about 3 continuous hours. It’s small enough for travel, so you can even take it on the go!

This product ships at about 4 ounces. It’s about 7.5 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Get yours on Amazon for $21.97 now, and enjoy free one day shipping through Amazon Prime.

Scrubba Wash Bag Mini – clean jocks and socks!

CROWDFUNDING NEWS – We previously reviewed the Scrubba Wash Bag, a mobile washing device that allows you to clean your clothes easily and environmentally in many situations where washing wouldn’t be an option but let’s face it if you’re traveling light you can put up with a few stains or dirty spots on your T-Shirt or pants. Or if you’re doing a multi-day bushwalk everyone is pretty much smelling the same bad way as you are (which you only really realize till you get back to civilization) so washing most of your clothes isn’t really that important. One thing that is nice however is putting on clean jocks (Australian slang for underwear) and socks every day. Scrubba has addressed this by releasing a Kickstarter campaign for the Scrubba Wash Bag Mini, a smaller, lighter version of their original bag. The original funding target of AU$7500 was surpassed in just 2 hours with over AU$55,800 pledged to date.

My original Scrubba has just spent the last year and a half doing duty in Vietnam.  I’ve used it both as a washing bag and also as a dry bag during diving trips and during tropical downpours.  Yes laundry can be found generally pretty cheaply in SE Asia (sometimes you’ve got to walk down that little, dark alley ) however with one of our experiences being losing half our underwear (and other clothes) and the stuff that did come back smelling horribly of cigarette smoke, it can definitely be a risky proposition.

At just 70g (3 oz.), this is a handy, dandy gadget for any traveller, from 5 star hoteller to a minimalist bushwalker, to keep their “personals” clean. Kickstarter pledges start at AU$40 (~US$28)

Soon, your car will update just like your apps and other hardware

NEWS – Cars today run on software.  Programs control everything from climate control to transmission shifting to air/gas mixture in the engine. Car manufacturers release software updates, just like other hardware manufacturers.  I get firmware updates for my Sonos speakers and my Kevo door locks.  They are delivered and installed pretty easily.

But…for cars, it always involved a trip to the dealer and some quality time in the customer lounge.  But why?  Most cars today have access to internet-based connectivity.  But still, updates have to be done at the dealership.  The sole exception to this is Tesla.  They figured out early on that customers hate going to the car dealer.  They changed the model for purchasing and for over-the-air (OTA) software updates.

General Motors (GM) is looking to continue the shift in that paradigm with its upcoming digital vehicle platform, being rolled out with the upcoming 2020 Cadillac CT5 sedan.

Most of GM’s vehicles will feature this underlying technology ecosystem by 2023. The new electronics systems will have the capability of managing up to 4.5 terabytes of data processing per hour, enabling systems like GM’s Super Cruise autonomous driving system. This represents an improvement in processing power of up to five times beyond today’s cars.

By adding new OTA updates, GM is positioning its fleet to be able to add new functionality over the lifespan of the vehicles without an annoying dealership visit. This sets the stage for better performing electric and autonomous vehicles as well as improved features on traditional cars.

Of course, hacking is a concern – nobody wants anyone taking control of their car as it hurtles down the highway. GM has included new security measures in the system’s DNA to ensure overall system security.

Tesla set the stage and now GM, and other automakers are jumping into the party, bringing a needed change to the auto industry and I hope, an increase in the propagation of new and exciting features to new vehicles. It is a fun time for the auto industry.

Wilson’s new weBoost Drive Reach means no more cellular dead zones on your next road trip

NEWS – Today Wilson Electronics has launched a powerful new in-vehicle signal booster device that has been designed to improve weak cellular signals in cars, trucks, and RVs to provide better connectivity while on the road. The weBoost Drive Reach device is compatible with all mobile phones and wireless carriers in North America and allows drivers to enjoy strong call quality, fewer dead zones and faster data upload/download speeds while traveling.

The weBoost Drive Reach in-vehicle cellular signal booster features uplink output power capabilities of 29.5 dBm and 50 dB gain which is the maximum allowable gain under FCC standards. The device uses an exterior mag-mount 4G antenna that connects to the booster/signal amplifier inside the car to boost weak signals up to 32x. Of course, if the area you’re traveling through has absolutely no signal at all, this product or any other signal boosting device will not work. You just have at least some signal in order to boost it.

Priced at $499.99 and certified by the FCC, the weBoost Drive Reach is available for purchase now at weBoost.com
