So when Trek gave me the opportunity to review its new Trek FX+ 2 eBike to see if it would make our list of the best electric bikes, I thought, “What if I bike to work for a week?” After all, working in a city, it’s not exactly cheap to park a car. Parking a bike is free, provided nobody steals your bike. Add that to the environmental and health benefits, and it could be a game-changer to my daily commute....

Remarkably, the prestigious network has instead gone the exact opposite route, and in House of the Dragon has made one of the boldest TV moves of the year. When I discovered that the first season of the fantasy drama would cover more than 15 years, and recast its lead roles to account for the time jump between episodes, I was pretty skeptical. My gut said it was a disastrous call that would confuse viewers and lead to a disjointed narrative....

If you have a recent iPhone or iPad then you’ll want to update it to the newly released iOS 15.2.1 and iPadOS 15.2.1, as this update fixes a nasty security flaw that could send your iPhone into a reboot spiral of death. This bug was discovered by security researcher Trevor Spiniolas (opens in new tab) at the start of January and involved Apple’s HomeKit service, which provides the software interface between iPhones and iPads and some of the best smart home devices....

According to MacRumors (opens in new tab), devices with iOS 16.1.1 are already popping up based on an analysis of its own website traffic and what devices are accessing the site. That would indicate devices running a beta of iOS 16.1.1, with the actual update coming in the near future. So what could iOS 16.1.1 contain? With bigger features like the launch of the Freeform collaboration app and Live Activities enhancements slated for iOS 16....

If you want the latest Apple phone showdown, then check out our iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 Pro vs. iPhone 13 Pro head-to-heads as that’ll give you an idea of whether the newer phones are worth considering. However, brushing that aside, read on to see which phone is best for you in the iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 13 Pro showdown. iPhone 13 vs....

So with the iPhone 14 fast approaching, I wanted to take a moment to spell out two things I really want to see. My colleague Philip Michaels laid our seven potential upgrades over the iPhone 13, but I want to hone in on the display. In short, there are two things I want to see from the iPhone 14’s screen: ProMotion on all four models and an always-on display. Give us more than 60Hz The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max both feature 120Hz ProMotion displays....

According to Ming-Chi Kuo (opens in new tab), an Apple analyst familiar with the company’s supply chain — SG Micro — a Chinese company that specializes in integrated circuits, has been added to the company’s growing list of suppliers. In a series of tweets Kuo details how SG Micro has passed the quality certification for high-end iPhone 14 models. This means SG Micro will supply components for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max....

Apple is gearing up for its big launch event today, where we expect to see the company reveal a slew of iPhone 14 models. But Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives is touting this year’s product launch as a “pivotal” one for the company, especially in light of the changes coming to the iPhone 14 Pro. iPhone launches are always a big deal, but this year’s could be especially big, Ives predicts in an analyst note published by Ped30 (opens in new tab)....

Those terms, though, can be a little vague. So let’s first define what we mean. In general, firmness is described between 1 and 10, where 10 is the firmest. This is the rating we use in our mattress reviews. To our knowledge, no one’s ever produced a 1, 2, or 10. So in general, a soft mattress is going to be between 3 and 5, a medium mattress between 6 and 7, and a firm one between 7....

Whether you have to deal with a singular stain, or your whole carpet needs a refresh, there’s one appliance that can really help: a carpet cleaner. Carpet cleaners are designed to remove stains in a single pass using a combination of detergent and water. But, while they serve a useful purpose, they’re rather bulky in size to store and can cost a lot of money to buy outright. Plus, if you need it to refresh your carpet you will likely only use it once a year or so....

Information comes directly from EA, in a post (opens in new tab) on the company’s website announcing the new project. “Game Director Stig Asmussen and his team at the studio are already working on the next game in the action adventure Star Wars Jedi series, and are joined by two new teams working to deliver additional unique Star Wars gameplay experiences across multiple genres,” the post reads. The first of the three game announcements is, of course, Jedi: Fallen Order 2, which will hopefully have a catchier title once it debuts....

But while a 30-second TV spot is great for grabbing your attention on possible smartphone savings, it’s a lousy way to comparison shop. If you’re left wondering which of the holiday deals being flogged by the big phone carriers is the best one for you, you’ve got some research ahead of you. Or you can let us do the work you instead. We’re constantly checking out the best AT&T phone deals and the best Verizon phone deals and keeping tabs on what T-Mobile offers as well, so this is a busy time of year for us....

The reports of Leeds’ demise have been greatly exaggerated. While the team have certainly not been able to replicate the form they enjoyed last season, recent victories against Burnley and Champions League-chasing West Ham have showcased the side at their energetic best. The less positive news is that Patrick Bamford is confirmed to miss this game. The forward had been tipped to return this weekend, but a fresh injury setback means that won’t be the case....

It’s a significant departure from the budget soundbars that are grabbing the headlines right now, as models like the Sonos Ray (possibly partnered with a Sonos Sub Mini) are offering a significant boost to TV sound for a very reasonable outlay. The LG S95QR Dolby Atmos soundbar, therefore, has a lot to prove: it needs to offer big sound — especially in the height channels — to warrant the extra cost, and not skimp on the features that other soundbars like the Sony HT-A7000 and Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3 (which made our best Dolby Atmos soundbars list) provide....

The finale featured five weddings, though only two of them ended in bride and groom saying “I do” — Iyanna and Jarrette, and Danielle and Nick. The other three couples said “I don’t,” but two of them left their relationships open-ended. Love Is Blind is a wild dating experiment where men and women develop relationships with each other sight unseen. They go on dates in connected pods, where they can talk but not see each other....

But the similarities stop there. Now that we’ve published our Dell XPS 13 Plus review and MacBook Air M2 review, we can give you a comprehensive breakdown of how these two laptops compare in order to help you make the best choice for your needs. Of course, a lot of it comes down to whether you prefer Windows 11 or macOS Ventura. Both are competent operating systems with their own strengths and weaknesses, and these two laptops show them off to great effect....

With that said, the previous MacBook Air M1 shouldn’t be dismissed simply because there’s a new iteration on the market. Though it’s now a generation older, this notebook still delivers exceptional performance and battery life — even eclipsing some of the best Windows laptops. Due to those factors and its relatively affordable $999 cost, it’s not unreasonable that some would believe the MacBook Air M1 is the better deal. Below, we pit the MacBook Air M2 against the MacBook Air M1 in an attempt to determine which laptop you should buy....

Now Michigan is hoping this March Madness live stream has a much different outcome. Villanova (28-7), the South Region’s two-seed is in pursuit of the school’s fourth national championship . They are coming off a 71-61 victory over Ohio State. The Wildcats led by as much as 15 in that game but saw their lead cut to just a two-point advantage with 5:41 left in that second-round matchup. Nova was able to squash that Buckeye run thanks to an 11-3 run of their own to close out the game....

When put to the test, we found it was average in terms of speed to boil and external temperature, but it was fairly noisy and needed quite a bit of energy. Considering the cheap price point, some potential buyers would be happy to trade-off this so-so performance. As you will read in our Morphy Richards Hive Kettle review, it’s one of the best kettles for what it has to offer....
