The Garmin Enduro 2 is the ultimate GPS multi-sport watch lineup from Garmin, made with premium products and advanced sports tracking features. Data hounds will love the extensive customization options for each display on the watch, so as you participate in your sport, you are sure to find the data you need by scrolling automatically or manually with a press of a button. Despite being released in late 2022, the Garmin Enduro 2 keeps finding its way back on my wrist in large part due to its fantastic battery life, large size, comfortable band, and reliable performance. I have been running, hiking, fly fishing, walking, biking, sleeping, and living with the Enduro 2 since I started testing it nearly two years ago. Brilliant AMOLED displays on other watches shine brightly and catch my attention for a few weeks, but charging up my watch once or twice a month is a convenience I am not ready to give up for anything else.Also: Garmin Enduro 2 reviewThe Enduro 2 connects seamlessly to Android and iOS smartphones too, in addition to golf club sensors, bike sensors, and more. Just about every sport is covered, now including pickleball, with an updated smartphone experience so you can customize the watch settings on your phone and sync them over to the watch.

Minelab Equinox 800 tech specs: Detection depth: Up to 18 inches | Weight: 2.96 pounds | Adjustable length: 47 to 57 inches | Power source: Rechargeable battery | Coil size: 11 inches | Waterproof: Submersible up to 10 feetIf you’re a serious metal-detecting hobbyist or a search and salvage professional, the Minelab Equinox 800 is an almost perfect option. It’s a high-end, exceptionally precise metal detector that can sense objects buried up to 18 inches underground so you can hunt for everything from coins and rings to scrap iron, aluminum, and even meteorites. The entire unit is waterproof and can be submerged in water up to 10 feet deep, so you can search rivers, lakes, ponds, and oceans for relics. With its four different detection modes, you can accurately search terrains like sandy dunes and beaches, grassy fields, and rocky hills. You can also set up eight different detection profiles for faster gold, silver, and iron identification or for multiple users of the same unit. It’s powered by an integrated, rechargeable battery that can give you up to 12 hours of use, so you can explore all day worry-free. The Equinox 800 also comes with a pair of headphones for more accurate and distraction-free listening to differentiate between tones for gold, silver, brass, and iron or steel. Verified reviews from both Amazon and Walmart both praise the accuracy of the Equinox 800, many showing off photos of some pretty cool finds like coins, jewelry, and even a few die-cast metal toys.

Jack Wallen/ZDNETBack in my early days of Linux, the terminal was a necessity. Now, the GUIs are so advanced, user-friendly, and powerful, that you could go your entire Linux career and never touch a terminal window.But when you do need to dive into those commands, you’ll want a terminal app that’s better than the stock default your distribution most likely uses.Fortunately, there are plenty of options, and here are my five favorites (all of which are free and can be installed from your distribution’s default repositories).Also: 10 things I always do immediately after installing Linux – and why1. GuakeGuake is just cool. It’s a drop-down terminal client that, when you hit F12 on your keyboard, will roll down from the top of your display. When you’re done, hit F12 again and it’ll hide itself away until you need it next. Guake is also highly configurable. You can tweak the startup and tabs, the main window, the shell, scrolling, the appearance, keyboard shortcuts, quick open, hooks, and compatibility. Guake includes transparency, theming, shell selection, and much more. What I really like about Guake is that it’s always at the ready. Just hit the keyboard shortcut and it’s there. Instead of having to add yet another icon to your favorites (or on the desktop), keep it clean while still retaining easy access to your terminal app. More
