Most people don’t really need an all-in-one (AIO) printer—a good scanning app and a cheap, print-only laser machine can handle occasional jobs. But if you have a school-age kid or do work that requires a lot of copying and scanning, an all-in-one might make sense. The HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e is your best option because it’s easy to set up and cheap to run, it works with all kinds of devices, it produces beautiful prints and scans, and it looks great doing all of that.

As the American craft-beer scene has exploded—with IPA leading the charge—hops have gone from being just another obscure ingredient to the life of the party. These days, even your dentist probably knows the difference between Citra and Galaxy, and if you often enjoy spending an afternoon at the local beer garden, there’s a good chance that you too have been drawn in by the tropical, herbal, piney aroma of hops.

Unless you’re eyeing a no-name “4K camera” on Temu or AliExpress (and you shouldn’t be), there are no bad cameras anymore. None. Zero. Faced with the omnipresence of smartphones and social media, the camera industry has refocused on quality over quantity. With even the biggest manufacturers grudgingly accepting their newfound place as niche players in a landscape they once dominated, they’re concentrating on making cameras that do things smartphones can’t.
