Early Black Friday deals are in full swing: Target, Best Buy, and Walmart all have their deals live already, and Amazon just put out their Black Friday plans (with some deals available now). But if you’re looking for even better deals on Blink and Ring security cameras—and some other Amazon devices—it’s Woot you want…
You have too many tabs open right now, and that’s okay: The internet is full of fascinating content that none of us can consume all at once. So all those interesting articles, videos, and memes get pushed aside for “later.”
Waze, Google Maps’ more helpful cousin, is adding yet another useful feature. After almost a year of beta testing, Waze is now introducing a new alert system for accident-prone roads, so you’ll know to be on high alert when turning on a street with a history of incidents.
Long past are the days when one simply had to set an absurdly early alarm on the day after Thanksgiving and head out into the chill air to stand in line at a big box retailer to take advantage of once-in-a-year sales and deals. In 2023, “Black Friday” has become a month-long affair, and you can already score great…

Did you know you can send documents to your printer straight from your iPhone? I didn’t, until I was frustrated by needing to print a single page and sought some answers. It turns out that it’s really easy, as all iPhones come with something called AirPrint. You can do it without AirPrint, too, but we’ll get to that.
Google gets a lot of traffic around the holidays, and for good reason: We use the search engine to find deals across hundreds of stores and brands, a much more efficient strategy than individually going store to store. Now, when you search for things like “shop deals,” or “shop sneaker deals,” Google will return a…
Now that Google owns Fitbit, buying something like the Charge 6 officially puts you in the company’s ecosystem. But that doesn’t mean the Fitbit Charge 6 is the same as the Pixel Watch 2. In fact, the experience you’ll get on both of these wearables will be completely different. If you find yourself stuck choosing…
Google is rolling out AI features to all of its products, one after another. Bard is popping up in apps like Docs, Sheets, and Gmail, while artificial intelligence arrived on Google Maps a couple of weeks ago. Now, the AI revolution is coming to YouTube, but only to a limited group.
Your iPhone does a pretty good job of managing memory and RAM on its own. It’s so good, in fact, that you don’t need to quit running apps (unless the act of flipping apps is your way of relaxing). But there’s one place where unnecessary junk and cache does build up—and it can potentially slow down your phone and your…
Google Chrome’s default settings are (surprise!) far from ideal for those who care about their privacy and security. And if you’re one of those people—but aren’t ready to jump ship to another, less intrusive browser like Brave or Tor—there are some easy ways to adjust your settings to reduce Google’s tracking on…

The kind of productivity method you need depends largely on the kind of person you are. Some methods are adaptable, open to interpretation, and fluid, which is nice if you just need a little guidance. Others, though, are detailed and rule-driven, which is great if you need to be told exactly what to do and when to do…
Early Black Friday deals are impressive this year, and you should be taking advantage of any early Black Friday deal that works for you.

Google Chrome on iOS has finally added one of the best features of Safari—the ability to move the address bar to the bottom of the screen. When you’re using a phone with a massive display, it’s hard to reach the top of the screen to type the name of the site. If the tab bar is at the bottom, it’s much easier to reach.

Digital devices, including smart TVs, are continuing to improve accessibility settings for people with disabilities. The 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) passed in 2010 updated accessibility requirements, such as closed captioning, for TV programming and includes provisions for audio…
Users of smart hubs like Alexa and Google Home have long enjoyed being able to use IFTTT to connect and enhance services that aren’t natively connected to each other. For instance, we recently reviewed Leviton switches, which rely on IFTTT to create automations. The upshot of these services working with IFTTT is that…
Each year, there are countless apps launched on the Google Play Store. The problem is, it’s hard to tell which are worth your time, and which are worth ignoring altogether. In my view, these are the 15 apps you need to have on your Android phone in 2023.
For those who missed the great Roomba deals on October Prime Day, you’ve got another shot: Currently, Amazon is selling the iRobot Roomba i4 EVO for 48% off at $209.99 (normally $399.99).

It’s a good idea to create multiple email accounts and use them for different purposes—e.g. one account for streaming services, one for work, one for personal use. There are plenty of services that allow you to set up free email accounts, and picking the best one requires diving into each option’s pros and cons.
If you need a basic, reliable laptop but don’t want to spend a small fortune, this refurbished 2018 HP Chromebook is from model year 2018 and is currently on sale for $106.99, marked down from its usual price of $150. Its grade B rating means it has some cosmetic imperfections, but these don’t impact performance.

I can tell you already what you can expect for Black Friday—when you see a good early deal for something on your list, you should jump on it, as items will sell out. Best Buy is one of the few major retailers who have already put out their plans, which includes this TCL 65" Q5 4K QLED Smart TV with a $200 discount,…
As good as Google Maps is, not every location is perfectly mappable in the app. Sometimes, where Google thinks you want to go might be miles away from where you actually want to go (this happens often to anyone trying to find the entrance to a national park). Or a new attraction might not be listed at all. This is…
Modern smart TVs offer ways to connect to your favorite streaming services, but the results are often disappointing. Not only are the built-in solutions less than ideal out of the box, they quickly become outdated. That’s where a dedicated streaming device comes in handy. You have your choice, too, with devices from…

Google’s Pixel Watch 2 and Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 are two of the best smartwatches on the market right now. But when it comes down to it, you’re likely only going to choose one to buy, and that decision begs questions: How exactly are these two watches different? Are there features that make one stand out over the…
Keeping an eye inside and outside your home is a lot more affordable with Woot’s fall sale on Blink devices. They’re selling refurbished Blink cameras for up to 66% off, starting at $15 until Oct. 27 at 1 a.m. ET or until supplies last.

The company recently updated the app to support version history (thank goodness), and now…
The days when an ordinary person could identify a fake Rolex easily are gone—there are no simple giveaways like a ticking second hand instead of a smoothly sweeping one. “Modern fake watches are frankly terrifying,” said Matt Chapman, a Los Angeles-based vintage watch restorer and self-described horological nerd.…
Black Friday falls on Nov. 24 this year, but retailers are well into releasing early deals. Here’s why you probably should be shopping these early sales this year if you aren’t already—and have a plan so you don’t overspend.

As more and more fitness trackers and smartwatches come out, I’ve noticed that manufacturers are leaning more into their own ecosystems. Apple, of course, has been doing this for years, but Google is starting to do it with its new devices, too, and the Fitbit Charge 6 is a perfect example of how choosing a fitness…
When you open the photos app on your iPhone, you can access your library, your albums, and a really great search feature that enables you to filter pictures by text or even description. You also see “Memories”—collections the app generates automatically, made up of pictures that fit a specific theme, and they are…
Google Photos is a fabulous app that makes all your media available across your devices and acts as a solid backup in case, heaven forbid, your tech gets destroyed. It’s invaluable in so many ways, but it’s still prone to causing some pain: It loves to send you push notifications about what you were doing on a given…
Google released the Pixel Buds Pro last year, but the company is still making a big push with its wireless earbuds, which offer active noise canceling, sweat and water resistance, and touch controls that make it easy to put them in and control your music without opening up your phone.
With most services now charging a monthly fee, cutting back on fees wherever I can has become necessary. Eufy’s one-time purchase structure became one of its biggest selling points for me when choosing my security cameras, but it doesn’t come without trade-offs. Right now, you can get the Floodlight Cam E221 for…
When you think searching the internet, you undoubtedly think of Google (unless you’re the one person who thinks first of Bing). The search giant is ubiquitous because it’s fast, free, and better at what it does than most of its competitors. But not everything about Google is amazing. While it’s technically free to…
Between credit and debit cards, digital wallets, peer-to-peer apps, and bank transfers, sending money digitally has become the norm these days. While this convenience is great, it also comes with risks, especially if you don’t take the proper security precautions. And when it comes to choosing a specific payment…
There’s a lot to like about the Pixel Watch 2, Google’s latest Android smartwatch. For starters, the battery finally lasts all day, even when using the always-on display. It also runs Wear OS 4 out the box, giving it the snappiest version of the Android wearable OS we’ve seen yet (and is what helped make the Galaxy…
The Pixel 8 Pro is Google’s latest top-of-the-line flagship device, and while some have argued that the new device doesn’t offer enough at its price point, I think Google is finally starting to get into its groove. What we’re seeing with the Pixel 8 Pro is the first step to Google creating one of the best Android…
Part of the proposition of smart home technology is “less”—fewer plugs, fewer remotes, fewer extension cords. Items are controlled via wifi or Bluetooth, and the result is (usually) a sleek, streamlined gadget or switch. SwitchBot saw that model and gave it the finger.
If you’ve been looking to upgrade your home with a smart vacuum, now may be a good time to do so: Walmart currently has Shark’s AI Robot Self-Empty XL smart vacuum on sale for $300 off, making it just $298 compared to its regular $600 price tag.
Did you just update your iPhone and Mac to the latest versions of iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma? Did you also accidentally set off fireworks during your latest work call, or somehow get it to start “raining” when on a FaceTime call with your parents?
