However, few retailers come close to matching the benefits that come with Prime membership. Whether you’re a current Prime member navigating through the endless number of perks or someone who’s on the fence about joining, we’re listing the best Prime member benefits that are currently available....

The new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air were revealed during WWDC 2022. Given how rare it is to see hardware reveals at WWDC, the new laptops received a fair bit of attention — especially since they both sport Apple’s new M2 processor. As our Apple M2 chip benchmark tests revealed, this is an impressive processor. Of the two laptops, the MacBook Air 2022 seems more enticing. It sports an updated design akin to 2021’s MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch laptops, a larger display, MagSafe charging and a sharper webcam....

Here’s what else I wish I’d known before installing a walking treadmill in my home. They’re literally for walking If you’re a runner, like me, it’s worth noting that none of the walking treadmills designed to slot under your desk will be quick enough to run on. None of the treadmills on our best under-desk treadmill list can move faster than 4 miles per hour, which is around a 15-minute mile running pace; however, that should be quick enough for most people’s natural walking speed....

Because of this, your fallen leaves make great fertilizer for your soil and plants, which will help your garden look better while also saving you money on plant-feed in the long term.

That’s why I’ve put together a list of the best movies and shows leaving Netflix in April 2022. The full list of titles leaving is below, as your mileage may vary with my picks). While Netflix only cut movies last month, this time subscribers will see two long-running TV shows leave the big red streaming machine. We’re not sure if any of these departures will push someone to churn and cancel Netflix, but the absence of these shows will surely be frustrating to some....

In one of the most detailed reports we’ve yet seen about the headphones, 52audio (opens in new tab) has shared what it claims is fresh information on everything from the design to the specs to the charging case. However, the site has a patchy track record with past rumors, so take what follows with a pinch of salt. That caveat aside, let’s start with the design. Design tweaks 52audio has produced a series of renders based on the information it has supposedly received, and these suggest that the AirPods Pro 2 will retain their stem, contrary to earlier rumors....

But in a world of Fire TV-equipped Smart TVs, and other TVs that have all of the streaming apps, does the Fire TV Cube make a strong case for buying one more thing? We think so, but there’s still room to improve, not only in Super Resolution Upscaling, but in the Fire TV’s ad-heavy interface. The Fire TV Cube’s upper-side shows off the primary reason some will buy it: this Fire TV device is a full-on Alexa speaker, as evidenced by its blue light bar and four Alexa buttons (trigger, mute, volume up and volume down)....

But a mobile port just released for Android and iOS earlier this week, so I decided to put my hundreds of hours of Apex experience to the test using touchscreen controls. Overall, this is a solid mobile port, which I tested on both a Galaxy S22 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro Max. After a couple of hours of playtime, I have to say that I really enjoy it. It’s far from perfect — the HUD is extremely crowded — but it captures the essence of Apex Legends....

Well, yes there is. Aside from a cool beer, a spicy curry and a good pun or two, nuggets of joy are still to be found in the year 2022. And one of them comes in the form of Lego Builder’s Journey on Apple Arcade. While available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and the Nintendo Switch, I feel the design and tactile nature of the Builder’s Journey lends itself well for touchscreen controls....

Not only does the 10.9-inch iPad Air 4 impress with its flat-edge design (which has the cool color options of the iPhone 12 in the shell of the 11-inch iPad Pro), but its Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) and Magic Keyboard support mean it’s more capable of replacing your laptop (provided you spend more for those accessories). It’s also got speedy A14 Bionic performance and USB-C charging, two upgrades I wish the normal iPad could get....

According to Bleeping Computer (opens in new tab), this week’s iOS 16.2 update fixes a zero-day hack used to attack iPhones.

Shows like The Afterparty and Severance have impressed, and original movie CODA just won Best Picture at the Oscars. Apple TV Plus is showing no signs of slowing down either, as it’s just got another must-watch series. Pachinko is a new drama series that just premiered on Apple TV Plus (which has three stellar entries in our list of the new movies and shows to watch in April) It’s based on The New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, and chronicles the struggles of a Korean family across four generations as they leave their homeland and immigrate to Japan in the hopes of a better life....

Though it’s $150 less than the Apple Watch Series 8, it has the same S8 chipset powering both Apple’s latest flagship and the all-new (and much more expensive) Apple Watch Ultra. So while it might not have all the features of the two additional products in this year’s Apple Watch lineup, the Apple Watch SE (2022) does offer an attractive compromise. The compromise might not be for everyone — oh, how I would’ve loved to rave about an Always-On Display in this Apple Watch SE (2022) review....

The Spaniard returns to the Premier League for the first time since his ill-fated spell with Arsenal. He subsequently went on to win the Europa League for the fourth time with Villareal, but will certainly feel has something to prove in England. He has not had much time to make his mark with his new players though, only formally taking over from Steven Gerrard on Tuesday. Man United seem to be finding their rhythm under Eric ten Haag....

AT&T and Verizon plan to flip the switch on their new 5G networks using C-Band spectrum this week. But when the faster, more extensive service goes live, it won’t be reaching cellular towers near some airports. That’s because major airlines continue to sound the alarm about C-Band 5G, with the aviation and communications industries at loggerheads about the safety of the new network. The war of words heated up Monday (January 17) when 10 airline CEOs sent a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, U....

This time, though, we’re going to see at least two characters explore new confines: prison....
