We used to have a grasp on all the world’s tech and electronics. “Yes, the TVs and stereo systems that are sold at Best Buy or Radio Shack—I know tech.” But now? “Tech” means “anything with an app or internet capability,” and that’s ... everything. This year, the Esquire team tested almost one thousand products to settle on this: The Esquire Gadget Awards. —Luke Guillory, commerce editor

These products show the wide range of the year’s latest and greatest tech.

For this year's Gadget Awards, we put nearly a thousand products under the microscope, and these are the 91 that we unanimously agreed will make your life better. If you’re tech curious, we say lean in. Live a little. Who knows? You might sleep better, eat better, and improve your day-to-day. If you’re tech cautious, well ... in 20 years your toothbrush will probably have a camera on it, just like ours do now. These are the best and most noteworthy products and brands of the year. Watch out; they’re about to be everywhere.

Chants of “USA!” rang out at the president’s Ohio rally after a MAGA goon punched a protester in the face. Bet you can’t guess who got high-fived, and who got escorted out of the venue.
Ultimately, this is what he's going to rely on to keep his presidency alive and his ass out of a federal prison. For all the intricate plots that have circulated concerning his plans to play monkey mischief with the midterm elections, the president's fundamental electoral strategy remains violence, or the specter thereof. He's not depending on lawyers, or on arcane parliamentary maneuvering. It is the image of masked goons smashing windows and beating up Capitol Police officers. And if he can't manage full orchestration every time, a small performance like the one in Youngstown will serve his purposes just as well. Those chants of "USA" celebrating the beating of a woman opposed to him are the music behind his life now.

The baseball cap isn’t much of a hat, really. It’s nothing more than a duckbill visor attached to a skullcap. It throws the face into shadow and can make one’s head look disproportionately small. As for style, it hasn’t got much going for it either. It lacks the panache of a snap-brim fedora; it hasn’t got the larger-than-life bravado of a cowboy hat or the authority of a commodore’s kepi. More often than not, it has writing on it—sometimes the name of a team, but more likely nowadays the name of a corporation or a brand of beer or a slogan, political or otherwise. In this way, the cap denotes belonging. Indeed, as the Washington Post fashion critic Robin Givhan notes, the red Make America Great Again cap rises to the level of symbol. The MAGA hat “is not a statement of policy,” she wrote. “It’s a declaration of identity.”
The baseball cap is spunky and unpretentious, though; that much can be said for it. And in its way, it embodies the eternal youthfulness of our national spirit.
