The Miami City Commission voted to end its short-lived ban on shared electric scooters Monday after some new safety measures were put in place.

Early this month, the commission voted 4 to 5 to end the city's multiyear scooter pilot, citing blocked sidewalks and the risk posed by untrained riders on busy streets. The companies that operate shared scooters, including Lime and Spin, argued that their services helped reduce car usage, connect residents to transit hubs, and bring extra revenue to the city.

That message appears to have gotten through. On Monday, the commission voted 3 to 1 to rescind the ban on the condition that new safety regulations would be implemented.

"Change is coming; it's going to happen anyway. Regulate it,"...

The best official Nerf blaster ever made is half off for Cyber Monday

Posted: 29 Nov 2021 12:31 PM PST

You want to bring a badass foam blaster to your next Nerf war — or gift one to a very grateful kid or kid-at-heart this holiday. Good news: the Nerf Rival Perses, arguably the best official blaster ever made, is just $50 during Walmart's Cyber Monday sale.

Normally $100, it's a fully automatic SMG-style blaster that holds 50 far-flying, bouncy foam rounds in its hopper and dishes them out at up to eight shots per second. Plus, you won't need to buy big bulky dumb alkaline batteries for this one. It comes with its own rechargeable NiMH battery pack and charger, unlike practically every other Hasbro blaster on the market.

Just know it's a little too big for small kids. At over five pounds and with big beefy grips, it'll be a late...

Sonos is likely planning to announce a new, smaller, and cheaper subwoofer to join its home theater product lineup. A Redditor spotted mention of a "Sub Mini" right in the Sonos smartphone app, and based on the text, it's evident that this is a real product and not some mistake or placeholder text. In the screenshot, Sonos describes the Sub Mini as a "smaller, cylindrical subwoofer" compared to the large, square, and very pricey Sub.

Most conventional subwoofers are hefty squares or rectangles that people often try to keep out of sight. But cylinder-shaped subwoofers aren't unheard of. The Sub Mini could resemble something like the below subwoofer from OSD.

This example of a cylindrical subwoofer is...
