The HOTO PixelDrive and Fanttik S2 Pro are very similar on paper, but the HOTO has the more convenient form factor for most people while the Fanttik feels closer to a traditional tool
The HOTO PixelDrive is a compact cordless electric screwdriver with a smart display, 6 torque settings, USB-C charging, and enough flexibility to make sense for furniture, home setup, and everyday gear tweaks
The Fanttik S2 Pro is a compact cordless electric screwdriver that makes a lot of sense for small repairs, furniture tweaks, camera gear, and all the random little jobs that are annoying with a manual driver
Dark Reader for Safari costs $4.99 and turns painfully bright websites dark, which makes late-night browsing on trips easier on your eyes and a lot less disruptive when you are trying to adjust to a new time zone
