The Tula is a stylish portable audio recorder with AI noise cancellation
You probably haven't heard of Tula before, but you may be familiar with founder David Brown and his other microphone brand: Soyuz. The Tula is different: it's a surprisingly flexible portable recorder that promises quality audio and clever features for $199. The first thing you'll notice about the Tula is its design -- while not nearly as ostentatious as a Soyuz, it shares a sense of old-school whimsy lacking in more "professional" gear like, well, anything Zoom makes.
This engine saves gas by shutting down most of its cylinders
The V8 Denali I'm about to drive isn't known for its fuel economy. But the huge GMC SUV isn't your usual over-sized grocery-getter. It's outfitted with Tula's engine optimizing Dynamic Skip Fire technology that reduces the amount of cylinders running at any moment to boost energy savings. So while all eight of them are firing when I take off from a stop light, once I'm at cruising speeds, the car settles into firing an average of two cylinders.
