Hoverair X1 Promax: It's so bad, but in the NES Power Glove kinda way

Remember the movie The Wizard (1989), when Lucas shows off his Nintendo Power Glove and says, "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad." English is weird; "Bad" meant good in the late 1980s.

Exo-frame hammock tent system works as a floating base-camp orb

There are loads of small sheltered hammocks and suspended tree tents out there, but many of them are a little old-fashioned – they require two or more trees to work. In contrast, the new Anymaka Hammock Tent brings its own suspension system, hanging from a portable folding stand so it can pitch anywhere, trees or not. Use it on the beach, open lawns, tundra, desert and anywhere else you can't find a single tree, let alone a perfectly spaced pair.
