I got the G560 early in the year, and never actually did give them back.
Theyre sitting on my desk, pumping out soft Christmas music as I write this.
If Logitech wants them back now, then something something what Bryan said.

That said, the Roomba i7+ is clearly the cream of the crop.
Sorry, iRobot, but youre going to have to pry this from my cold, dead hands.
Its HyperDrive, perhaps my favorite Mac peripheral, ever.

HyperDrive plugs into the USB-C ports of newer MacBooks, providing multiple ports that would otherwise require adapters.
I carry mine with me everywhere, and after almost a year, its still holding up well.
Id highly recommend it.

The Signa S1 soundbar-subwoofer combo gets plenty loud and sounds great doing it.
Its made me rethink whats possible with a camera.
The R1 is our family videographer now.

I dont really recommend it to drone enthusiasts it doesnt even come with a remote, its fully autonomous.
Native Instruments is among the vanguard making this possible.
If youre just getting started, or youre a nomadic musician youre going to love the Maschine Mikro.

Im holding the Maschine Mikro hostage for further examination.
In the UK, a very specific sort of person is into cycling.
They wear ridiculous-looking and tight fitting lycra.

They never stop talking about custom set wheels, carbon fiber, and carbing up.
They think a Strava account is a legitimate replacement for a personality.
But, something changed recently: I moved to the Netherlands.

Here, the sort of cycling I mentioned above doesnt exist like it does in the UK.
Maybe its because its so flat.
What the Netherlands has is a different sort of bike culture.

A jot down I can actually get behind: people use them as quick and easy transportation.
Hop on those two wheels.
Slam your rear on that seat and pedal to your hearts content.

But a knock-on effect has been me actually thinking about bikes a bit more.
And… actually… liking them.
What have I become?
Lucky, I guess.
The Smart series and the Electrified S2.
And, friends, Im in love.
Unfortunately, I had to give the bikes back.
Im coming for you, VanMoof.
The Pax 3, on the other hand, will fit in the smallest of pockets.
Of course, a compact body also means less battery.
And if worse comes to worst, its got a tiny charger you might bring along.
