Augment 360

image

DKIWT readers also need to get to places so here's the Augment 360, a lightweight, foldable electric moped designed for urban mobility, offering 25 km/h and 45 km/h versions with a range of about 50 km per battery and a total weight of just 36 kg including the removable 5.2 kg battery. The cardio you save by not walking is made up by the effort of lugging this thing around. Built for convenience (when in use, not when folded), it features large 120/90‑R10 tires, hydraulic disc brakes, app‑based controls, NFC key access, and untrue portability(!) that allows riders to fold, carry, and store it indoors - eliminating the need for parking and keeping the vehicle safe and charged. The 360 is engineered for everyday comfort and responsiveness, making city commuting easier, and it comes with flexible purchase options including one‑time payment, financing, or leasing, backed by a 2‑year warranty and 5‑year frame coverage. Don't forget to compare with a price of a car as it may be around the same.

Stealth Smart Controller

When not driving or carrying around the 360 scooter some of us will be gaming and for that we need finger control. With so many fingers, there's a lot of control to be had. The Stealth™ Pivot Wireless Smart Controller is a multi‑genre PC controller built around a lag‑free 2.4 GHz wireless connection (lag-free = you shoot, you kill), modular rotating button layouts (which is the cool feature that got it a place on here), and extensive onboard customization, featuring a Connected Command Display for social notifications (ok this also is another cool feature - screens everywhere please), audio tuning, button mapping, and profile management. It includes hall‑effect AntiDrift™ thumbsticks, adjustable trigger stops, four mappable quick‑action buttons, a precise customizable D‑pad, and a Quick‑Slide switch for rapid in‑game adjustments. With up to 20 hours of battery life, Bluetooth support for mobile and smart TVs, wired Xbox compatibility, immersive adjustable vibration feedback, and deep configuration via the Control Center 2 app, it’s designed as a versatile, premium controller for FPS, racing, action, fighter, and retro titles. I like.

TinyPod

I thought about this one a bit and if it made any sense to show this to the sophisticated readers of DKIWT. I ended up deciding to include it because it's an ok idea and the newsletter level so far was so high, we need to tone things down a bit. The tinyPod is a compact, Apple‑Watch‑powered device that transforms your watch into a standalone music player, communicator, and everyday companion, featuring a hard case with a scroll wheel or a lighter case option, magnetic Apple Watch charger compatibility, multi‑day battery life with wrist detection off, offline listening through 32GB of storage for music, podcasts, and audiobooks, support for Apple Pay and NameDrop, and seamless pairing with AirPods, with models available for most Apple Watch sizes and series.

Bonus (because, yeah!)

This one is really cool, not a thing, but a crazy good idea, beautifully implemented IMHO, worthy of a bonus DKWIT feature. It's the transfer of data between two devices using rapidly changing QR codes. It's able to optically transfer information at 120 KB/s. The speed is not impressive but do not focus on that, focus on how it is done. The original post on reddit is here, where you can see a video as it happens. It's open source and has a well-deserved 4K stars on GH. When you think people have thought of everything and it is better to just give up, a guy like this comes along.


Thank you for loving cool stuff like this. Everything made by me with some AI help (it's not last month anymore), from the content to the newsletter storage to the newsletter scheduling (actual sending service by Brevo, I did not make that part) to the website, to the marketing (LOL, there is no such thing here, actually). Made because I like cool stuff that I can quickly dismiss yet get more info if it is interesting, so here you go. I want to have one additional subscriber per year, so tell your friends and family - they can subscribe here: https://site.supertechman.com/newsletters | To follow me like the disciples followed Jesus, I hang on X, where nobody follows me, but I don't know why, I am so funny, so caring, so interesting. To this day, I posted 1062 times over there - all high-quality posts, my friends say so.
