Uber will now pick up your returns from your doorstep

Uber will now pick up your returns from your doorstep

Published by skeptic

Uber launched a new feature on Friday that lets customers return purchased items without leaving their home. The new returns feature, which is accessed through the Uber Eats app, is the latest effort by Uber to add “stickiness” to its app by offering services that extend beyond its core ride-hailing and delivery businesses. There are limitations to the new service, and there is, of course, a courier fee. The return fee is calculated based on the courier’s time and distance, according to Uber. Customers can only send back eligible retail items purchased on Uber Eats, and they must comply with each store’s return policy. Participating retailers include At Home, Best Buy, Dick’s Sporting Goods, GNC, Michael’s Pet Food Express, Pacsun, Petco, and Target. Uber said more retailers will be added in the future. Uber has also placed price limitations on the service. Customers can only return items with retail prices above $20, according to the company.

I did a speedrun through Under Armour’s innovation labs to learn how a marathon supershoe crosses the finish line

Driving along the seams of the Baltimore Peninsula, the city does what it does so well, giving off stubborn grit and industrial sprawl. Pulling off I-95, freight trucks, not tour buses, share the road with me. Like much of the city, it’s a waterfront neighborhood (re)shaped by salvage and second acts. Formerly known as Port Covington, it’s not a full-on reinvention, but it’s definitely hard-won reclamation. Warehouse bones, fresh glass. Muscles learning new memories. And appropriately home to the Under Armour campus and its five-story office and performance center, a Lighthouse with glazed-curtain-wall façade shining under the adjacent stadium’s lights. That a former Sam’s Club building now houses parts of R&D, rapid prototyping, materials testing, biomechanics, and quick customization facilities makes a weird kind of sense. It speaks to what the company and its products represent: resilience turned into result. As Kyle Blakely, Senior Vice President, Innovation, Design Studio, Development, & Testing, …

The Pinter countertop home brewing machine can now automatically make super popular Lagunitas beer at home

The Pinter countertop home brewing machine can now automatically make super popular Lagunitas beer at home

Beer is easy to drink and even easier to screw up when you try to make it at home. It literally feels like working in a lab. There are carboys, airlocks, hydrometers, wort chillers, mash temperatures, sparge water ratios, and more cleaning than most people anticipate. Even getting a passable first batch requires a modest equipment investment and a willingness to troubleshoot. I have tried a few friends’ home brews that obviously didn’t work out just right. Blech. The Pinter is a countertop machine that automates most of those issues away. You load in an ingredient pack, add water, seal it, and wait a few days. The same vessel that ferments serves as the tap. Now Lagunitas has partnered with Pinter to put an adapted version of one of their recipes into that system. The collaboration starts with Sumpin’ Easy, a citrus and pine-forward American …

De’Longhi’s PrimaDonna Aromatic is a super-automatic espresso machine that learns about you and your beans

De’Longhi’s PrimaDonna Aromatic is a super-automatic espresso machine that learns about you and your beans

Sign Up For Goods 🛍️ Product news, reviews, and must-have deals. Anyone can pull an espresso shot. Pulling a good one, however, can be a lifelong pursuit. Every new bag of beans is a new problem to solve. You have to accommodate a different roast, a different density, a different age, all of which mean a different grind size, dose, and temperature if you want the shot to actually taste good. The process can literally feel like working in a laboratory, which can be cool, but not when you’re bleary eyed and trying to get caffeinated. The trial and error of dialing in your espresso isn’t always a joyous pursuit. The De’Longhi PrimaDonna Aromatic is the first home machine I’ve tested that genuinely alleviates that learning curve. Its new Bean Adapt and Adaptive Grinding technologies do the thing every super-automatic has claimed to do for a decade but has never really delivered: they read the beans you put in, set the machine up for them, and then keep adjusting as the shots come out. This …

Sign Up For Goods 🛍️ Product news, reviews, and must-have deals. I was somewhere around East Hollywood, at the onramp of the 101, when the buzz began to take hold. You know the buzz. That indefinable thing when people catch something from music. I’ve been chasing the buzz for over a year, through SUVs, concert venues, convention centers, and recording studios. From behind the wheel to behind mixing desks. From consoles to consults. I’ve been chasing the buzz while learning how Dolby Atmos and object-based audio have expanded the immersive nature of music. It’s January 2025. I’m in the front passenger seat of a Cadillac OPTIQ all-electric SUV, foot traffic and metadata swirling around me. But we’re sitting totally still. It’s CES, and we’re parked in the lobby of Dolby Live at Park MGM Las Vegas. It’s not my first listening session in an EV. But it is my first time really hearing what multidimensional in-car entertainment can do, and what this 19-speaker AKG Studio Audio System in particular is capable of.  Prince’s “When Doves …

Sign Up For Goods 🛍️ Product news, reviews, and must-have deals. You likely have a singular vision of what a “GoPro camera” is. The company invented the traditional action camera and has largely stuck to that format for years. Now, GoPro announced the Mission 1 Series at NAB 2026 and it’s a huge shift. The line includes three compact cameras built around a 50-megapixel 1-inch sensor and the company’s new GP3 processor. The lineup spans from a standard model through a high-framerate flagship to a version with a Micro Four Thirds lens mount — a combination that puts GoPro into categories it hasn’t competed in before. If you’ve been following action cameras, this one is worth paying attention to. Rather than creating another action camera that creatives can try to use as a makeshift cinema camera, the company has created a camera that’s actually made for long-form content creation. New thermal management, longer battery life, and increased accessory compatibility make this a very capable little brain for a bigger rig. The grip is fully mechanical …

We first spotted Segway’s MUXI in January 2026 at CES in Las Vegas, and this softer-edged, city-friendly utility ebike is now available to order. The more compact counterpart to a cargo bike, the MUXI is low, approachable, a little Vespa-ish, and easy to live (and go to work) with. There are no top-tube gymnastics to perform, no haul sprawl to wrestle, but still enough available space to pick up odds and ends or a friend. Apartment dwellers will still want to take the 78-pound bike up the elevator, but riding it will elevate your mood in return. See It The MUXI is a tidy electric bike that translates stout hardware into a steady ride when navigating stop signs and side streets. The low standover frame and upright geometry promise an easy on-off rhythm, which makes a lot of sense in dense urban environments, especially for …
