Somewhat shockingly, it put out new stuff. You might wonder, in the worst of times, why would we even care? We care because gadgets make our lives easier, and every single person could use an easier life right about now. Anything to save an hour, teach a skill, or bring a glimmer of newness into a home. Though, you might've missed out on some cool releases—dodging shards of glass and balls of fire can be distracting. So, I'm going to help you play catchup on the best of the best in gadgetry. While not everything here made its debut in 2020, it all came out after Esquire's Gadget Awards 2019. I'm going off Academy rules. Some of these picks are pricey, but I made sure I didn't flood you with tech from your wildest dreams; none of that "you should buy a see-through glass TV for $30K" nonsense. Other picks are well within a reasonable range. Enough of my ramblings. Check out Esquire's 50 Gadget Award winners below.

We prefer rich gravy and hearty bread, with sharp tidbits of bitter celery and sour raisin, to a pile of marshmallow fluff torched to a sugared crisp. That stuffing palate more or less applies to the following drinks recipes: bold, flavorful, uncomplicated, and not too sweet. All are classics—or riffs on classics—and all are quite simple to make. And hey, if your 2020 Thanksgiving is looking more isolated than those in years past, forget the bird: A cocktail might be all you need.

But almost every earbud he tried was designed one of two ways: like a little bulb, or like a button with a stem on it, AirPods-style. How boring, he thought. Then he found them. Samsung's Galaxy Buds Live, which are shaped like lima beans and quite unique. They don't go into your ear canal so much as onto it—take a look at people wearing them on Samsung's website to see what we mean. It's really hard to describe. You'd never think they'd fit in there, but after wearing them for a bit, you begin to wonder why all earbuds aren't shaped like this. Nero knew right away that the Galaxy Buds Live, which are fairly priced at $140 (or $120, if you take advantage of Samsung's trade-in program) would be perfect for our Funkiest Design category. What he didn't expect was for them to end up becoming the earbuds he uses most often. These beans, really, are magic.

Tens of millions have been struggling for months to pay rent or other bills. The lines at American food banks are growing ahead of a holiday where we all traditionally gorge ourselves on the bounty of life in this, the richest country in the history of the world. According to the Washington Post, more people are now going hungry than at any other point of the coronavirus pandemic. And there's no help coming from Washington. Millions of Americans will head into the holiday season on the edge of the abyss. Esquire Politics Editor Jack Holmes takes a hard look at the grim reality before us, and what elected officials aren't doing to help.
