There are plenty of products out there that cost less than $20, but most of them never get used. A USB drive that works in outer space? Can’t imagine a situation where that would come in handy unless perhaps you're Richard Branson. Are you Richard Branson? Anyway, here are 20 products under $20 that you will actually use every day. Need somewhere to put your headphones when you’re not using them? Of course you do.

The company known around the world for secrecy is having a bad week, and, unfortunately for the Apple-can-do-no-wrong crowd, it has no one to blame but itself. That's because the largest leak to come out the Cupertino-based tech giant in some time was not the result of self-proclaimed supply chain insiders taking on Reddit, but rather a good old-fashioned employee screw up. We speak, of course, of the pre-release HomePod firmware uploaded to a public server last week.

If hackers want what's on your computer, chances are they can find a way to get it. But what about your non-digital goods? Like, the ones you keep in a safe at home? Turns out those aren't that secure, either. This was made abundantly clear at the 25th annual DEF CON in Las Vegas, where professional tinkerer and founder of SparkFun Electronics Nathan Seidle could be found demonstrating an open source safe-cracking robot.

This is how an electric car should feel. Hell, this is how all cars should feel. Those were my initial thoughts after test-driving one of the very first Tesla Model 3 all-electric cars to roll off the assembly line Friday before the company's big reveal. That exhilarating, yet short-lived experience, started inauspiciously. In fact, I was prepared to be underwhelmed. I mean, it's just a sedan, right? From a distance, the Tesla Model 3 looks like most other small sedans on the road.

This might take a little getting used to. After months and months of anticipation, Elon Musk has finally answered almost all of our questions about the Model 3. But there's one aspect of the electric car that might take a little more adjustment: there is no key for the Model 3. To be clear, this is not the same as the "keyless" systems, which require some kind of key fob, and it's not the app-enabled remote starting some automakers offer.

WhatsApp is clearly a great messaging app — it just reached one billion daily users. But it's not always ideal to be holding huge conversations on your smartphone. You might not know that WhatsApp isn't just bound to your phone, though. You can use it on your computer, too. This lets you get a better look at photos, makes reading lengthy paragraphs a little more manageable, and allows you to scroll faster through group messages to get to what you're looking for.

The iPod is almost dead. Apple's website no longer lists the iPod nano and iPod shuffle. The only iPod Apple now offers up is the iPod touch. Apple confirmed with Mashable its smallest music players in the line have finally been discontinued. "Today, we are simplifying our iPod lineup with two models of iPod touch now with double the capacity starting at just $199 and we are discontinuing the iPod shuffle and iPod nano.

Lenovo is back at blowing minds again with another concept device with a bendable screen. At the third annual Lenovo Tech World last week, the Chinese tech giant wowed attendees with the Lenovo Folio, a tablet with a screen that folds in half into a phone. Before you start getting too excited, you should know that the Folio is a concept device, which means it may not be released as a consumer product anytime soon. Even so, that doesn't make the device any less impressive. The tablet has a 7.

A few weeks ago, I did the unthinkable: I deleted the Facebook app from my phone. It started off as more of an experiment. I was curious if not having the app would help extend the dismal battery life of my iPhone 6S. But I was also starting to wonder if there might be other, less obvious, benefits too. I'm happy to report that I've been living (mostly) Facebook free for more than a month, and I don't miss it at all. In fact, I feel think it's one of the best decisions I've made in a long time.

Snapchat just answered one of its users' biggest requests: The app will no longer limit you to single 10-second video clips at a time. Instead, Snapchat now allows you to record up to a full minute of video at once. There is, however, one catch. While you can now record up to 60 seconds of video in one go, the recording will still be broken up into 10-second clips. The feature, which Snap is officially calling "Multi-Snap," is similar to the way you can record longer videos with Spectacles.
