Which Smart Telescope? Seestar S30 Pro, S50 Pro or Dwarf

For a first smart telescope, buy the ZWO Seestar S30 Pro: $699 on ZWO's US store on November 7, 2026, with a small tripod in the box. The Seestar S50 Pro ($999) has a bigger 50 mm lens and a longer battery rating. The DWARFLAB DWARF 3 ($549) and DWARF mini ($419) cost less but come without a tripod, and the mini makes 2-megapixel pictures.

Your Phone Has Satellite SOS. Do You Need an inReach?

A newer iPhone or Pixel can already text emergency services by satellite, so buy a separate device only if you need SOS that works when the phone is dead, two-way texts to anyone, or coverage outside your phone's list of countries. For most people that is the Garmin inReach Messenger at $299.99, which Notebookcheck lists as keeping SOS on a suspended plan. The inReach Mini 3 ($449.99) types messages without a phone, ZOLEO's device costs $199 but its 50-message plan costs more, and the ACR ResQLink 400 beacon needs no plan.

Which Polaroid Camera to Buy, Pokémon Editions Included

For most people the right Polaroid is the Now Gen 3, at $129.99 on Polaroid's US store on November 6, 2026: full-size square prints, autofocus and a self-timer. The pocket-size Go Gen 3 ($89.99) has the cheapest film, about $1.37 a photo against $2.37 for the Now's i-Type film, but its pictures are much smaller. The Pokémon editions cost $10 more than the plain cameras: the Pikachu and Sylveon Go Gen 3 at $99.99 and the Poké Ball Now Gen 3 at $139.99, with the same insides.

Starlink on Your Phone: What Works Today and What It Costs

Starlink does not sell phone plans to you directly yet. In the US, the way to use Starlink satellites on your phone today is T-Mobile's T-Satellite: texts, picture messages, location sharing, select apps and text to 911 where you can see the sky. It comes with some T-Mobile plans or costs $10 a month per line, and customers of other carriers, such as AT&T and Verizon, can add it too. SpaceX is buying radio spectrum for Starlink Mobile, but it has published no consumer plans or prices, and the Boost Mobile access plan has no start date.

Is Starlink Worth It? What It Costs vs Your Other Options

Starlink is worth it if no wired line or 5G home service reaches you, or if your other choice is old satellite or slow DSL. Year one ran $1,009 (where the $55 plan is offered) to $1,909 at mid-October plan prices plus a $349 dish (a July report), where buying is offered, before any demand surcharge, and prices can vary by address. Where fiber or 5G home internet works well at your address, those measured faster on national medians in Ookla's 2026 data, and the cheapest 5G home plans cost less.

Starlink Referral: What You Get and the Catches

Does Tesla FSD Work in Snow and Rain? What the Manual Says
