I found it fast and stable, too. Despite its heft, the EGO Power Plus was a cinch to drive around the yard. I also appreciated that I could engage its variable speed engine without having to spin the mower's blade. Other noteworthy features include a wide, 21-inch cutting platform and 56-volt battery that works with EGO's entire line of yard power tools.

Motion Sense allows for gesture control for media -- you can now play and pause audio and video streams with hand gestures rather than voice commands or, since it's a smart display, screen taps.
Current Nest Hub owners would do well to ask whether they should upgrade, but such a question isn't an either-or proposition. (You could, perhaps, give the old one away, but can you ever really have too many smart displays? You can add a Google Nest Hub without subtracting one, after all. Your kitchen and bathroom think otherwise.)
If you've been contemplating making the leap to a smart home display, there may not necessarily be a heightened sense of urgency, but there's never been a better time to get in than now. But then there are those who just, you know, want a smart screen, because smart home.

The Ice Hockey World Championships scheduled for Switzerland in May have been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) said on Saturday.
"This is a harsh reality to face for the international ice hockey family, but one that we must accept," IIHF President Rene Fasel said in a statement.
Other factors like whether a mower is self-propelled can have a big impact too. I stuck to push-from-behind models only, which cost anywhere from $250 to $550. If you're in the market for a push electric lawn mower, you're in luck. After the grass clippings from my mowing spree settled, these were my favorites. I then unpacked, assembled and personally put each unit through its paces. I've gathered here a group of the most popular electric mowers I could find.

When hit the smart home market in 2018, it may have looked at first like quite an underdog. By comparison, Amazon's flagship smart display -- the 10-inch, over 2.5-pound colossus then simply called -- was an absolute unit (at over 5 pounds, its latest permutation is ).
Calls from sporting organizations for this year's Tokyo Olympics to be postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic gathered pace on Saturday with USA Track and Field (USATF) and Brazil's Olympic Committee the latest to join the throng.
Just as important -- Google seemed to win at smart home controls with its first jab. Even now, three years later and after several hardware improvements (and even more software updates), trying to turn on smart lights or adjust your thermostat with an Amazon Echo Show (there are now three) still feels clunky and outdated compared to the smooth, seamless scrolling and delightful animations offered by the comparable Google controls.
