Philips Hue bulbs can function as some of the best Alexa compatible devices as well as the best Google Home compatible devices. That means they’re pretty easy going when it comes to introducing them in your smart home regime. Philips Hue constantly adds more to its line up year on year, and while having more options to choose from is great, it does make it a little overwhelming to pick your favorites....
Released on Friday (August 12), the new A League of Their Own (opens in new tab) series jumped onto the top of the Prime Video most-watched series list per FlixPatrol (opens in new tab) — unseating the Chris Pratt-led military drama The Terminal List. But sheer popularity is far from a complete metric for measuring a TV series or show. This is where the critics come in, as the cast and crew that brought the Rockford Peaches (and their friends and acquaintances) to life are being showered with praise at the moment....
For a limited time, Woot has the Switch OLED on sale for $324.99 (opens in new tab). That’s $25 off and the cheapest price we’ve ever seen for the Switch OLED. As you’ll see in our Nintendo Switch OLED review, this console is a winner. It offers a colorful 7-inch OLED display that really brings the best Switch games to life. Plus, you get improved audio through better stereo speakers....
The Ravens (3-2) are looking to put two wins together for the first time this season as they have been on the seesaw to this point. This week they are coming off a 19-17 win over the defending conference champion Bengals. Quarterback Lamar Jackson and company were able to rally after a Joe Burrow rushing touchdown put Cinci up 17-16 with 1:58 to play. Then Jackson helped drive the Ravens down the field 50 yards to set up a 43-yard field goal attempt which, as one would expect, kicker Justin Tucker drilled for the win....
Which is another way of saying The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is definitely going to be a show for the patient. That said, many people probably want Rings of Power season 2 immediately, as season 1 ended in fantastic form. Sure, the first season got a bit dry at times, but the Prime Video series found its fire (and we’re not just talking about that Balrog) in Rings of Power episode 8....
The Note was one of the first so-called phablets, offering an expansive screen and capabilities that almost bridged the gap between smartphones and tablets. And the S Pen was a vital part of the Note series. It not only made life easier for people who like to make handwritten notes or sketch digital art, but it also enabled precision navigation that was just better for being productive on the move than one’s fleshy fingers....
Even BTS opted for the (slightly) cheaper Galaxy Z Flip 4 during the Samsung keynote. But it doesn’t have to be that way because there are plenty of Galaxy Z Fold 4 preorders that can knock as much as 50% off Samsung’s new foldable. To be fair, cell phone deals can be very finicky because carriers require that you jump through a lot of hoops before you’re eligible for their deals....
Leaker Yogesh Brar (opens in new tab) claims the under-display camera on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will be shooting up to 16MP in resolution. That would make for a big leap from the 4MP sensor found in the under-display camera on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 rumored specs 4MP is particularly low-res for a camera on a 2021 premium smartphone, and as you’d expect it took poor quality photos and video....
And yet, there’s a sense that Samsung had best not rest on its laurels. In the U.S., Samsung trails Apple in market share as of the third quarter of 2022, market research firm IDC says. And while we happen to rank Samsung’s phones highly when it comes to the critical task of taking photos, it’s devices from Apple and Google that duke it out for the title of best camera phone overall....

On top of that Seyvum has included a cooling fan to prevent overheating on large jobs, multiple accessories and, crucially, a place to stash them all. In other words, it comes close to our ideal for a small battery-powered tire inflator — we just wish it was a little faster at refilling a tire. Seyvum DP3 Portable Tire Inflator: Price and availability The $55 small, battery powered Seyvum DP3 Portable Tire Inflator does a lot for a little but costs 40% less than the Fanttik X8 Apex, and nearly twice what the $28 Carsun Portable Air Pump....
Right now, the 55-inch Sony Bravia XR A80J is on sale for $999 at Best Buy (opens in new tab). That’s a massive $900 savings compared to its usual price tag of $1,899. Last week this TV was on sale for $600 off, but Best Buy has now dropped it even further, which brings it back down to its lowest-ever price. Update: As of Nov. 19 this deal was still in stock at Best Buy....
If you’ve already played everything you want to play on the PS3, consider yourself lucky. Sony’s system from two console generations ago still has an excellent game library. But you’d never know it, considering how many hoops you have to jump through before you can access it. After letting my PS3 gather dust for the last few years, I decided it was time to give the console another spin. After an hour of grappling with — and barely defeating — the archaic interface and arcane restrictions, I almost wish I hadn’t....
Earlier this year, Sony released Midnight Black and Cosmic Red PS5 covers, and at the same time confirmed that plates in Nova Pink (opens in new tab), Starlight Blue (opens in new tab) and Galactic Purple (opens in new tab) would be available at a later date. We now know that these new colors will be available starting June 17, and just like their black and red counterparts will retail for $54/£44 (confirmed via Twitter (opens in new tab))....
In fact, I was so into multi-channel sound and the immersive experience at the time, that I dedicated a room of my house to surround sound and movies, and kitted it out with a flat screen TV and a house-rattling subwoofer. At the time, this kind of home theater setup with first generation plasma flat screen — the TV tech before LCD, OLED and QLED — seemed like pure science fiction, and for myself and several friends at the time, staying in became the new going out....
Spotify’s losing its “Heart of Gold,” as news broke that it’s in the process of removing the works of musician Neil Young from its servers.. It’s all happening because of Young’s opinions about what Joe Rogan says on his popular podcast (a Spotify exclusive). Earlier this week, Young sent an ultimatum in an open letter to his manager and label. Spotify needed to, Young said, remove The Joe Rogan Experience podcast or his music from its networks....
It’s been almost a year since we heard that Spotify’s HiFi tier was coming, offering songs in a lossless format and near-CD sound quality for Premium subscribers. Rumors of a lossless beta version only helped to fuel our excitement that the world’s most intuitive and integrated music streaming app would soon deliver our favourite tunes in high-quality audio. But in a thread that appeared on Spotify’s Community site (opens in new tab) concerning delays to the launch of the lossless tier, the company dashed hopes of us being able to listen to high-quality streams from the service any time soon....
Team Ninja, the studio behind the Nioh and Ninja Gaiden franchises, developed the game. This distinction helps Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin stand out amongst its peers by offering fun combat and extensive customization options for its characters. However, the game’s story is a bit confusing at first, and the main characters apart from Jack feel a bit underdeveloped. Read on for our full Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin review....
While streaming games to a PC is not nearly as seamless as it should be, doing so on a console works just about as well as Sony promises. I recently streamed an entire PS3 game, start to finish, on PlayStation Plus. The experience was impressive at best, and passable at worst. A fated encounter First off, I should reiterate that the PS Plus library is simply excellent, particularly if you pay for the (admittedly expensive) PlayStation Plus Premium subscription....
