Scrubba Portable Wash Bag
Your vacations and camping expeditions are supposed to be the time to unwind and avoid mundane tasks like doing your laundry. But does that ever happen? Unfortunately, no. Doing laundry is a crucial part of travel.
But what if there was a way to achieve machine-quality wash results while on the move without breaking your back? Well, that's what the Srubba wash bag promises.
What’s the Design Like?
Branded as a portable little washing machine bag, you'd expect an intricate design, and maybe a couple of moving parts. Oddly enough, the Srubba Bag looks like an ordinary laundry bag - just that it can clean your laundry.
The only thing that gives it away is how it looks inside - there are rubbery bumps that agitate your clothes during the wash cycle. Aside from that, there aren't additional fancy elements worth pointing out.
One thing that matters when traveling, however, is the size and weight
Divoom Pixoo Max – Smart, Pixel Display
If you like quirky retro products, you're probably already familiar with Divoom - the company that crafts unique pixel art products like the Ditoo Speaker and the original Pixoo display. So, how about a larger, brighter, and more colorful display that can enhance your room decor? That'd be the Divoom Pixoo Max.
Design: What is it like?
The first thing that will catch your attention is the minimal yet complete design of the Pixoo Max. The front has nothing other than the 32x32 pixel display, which is a notable upgrade from the 16x16 display that comes with the original Pixoo. The only buttons (three of them) on this display are on the sides - 2 buttons for cycling through different visual channels, and one power button.
There's also a microphone hole and a recessed type-C power port for charging the internal battery, but that's it. As for the placement, you can either: mount
