With one of the best speed test apps, you can test the internet connection in each part of your home to determine if you have any Wi-Fi dead zones. If so, you might want to think about investing in a Wi-Fi extender or even making the switch from a traditional router to a mesh router for better coverage. It’s worth noting that all speed test apps aren’t created equally though....
In a tweet from the @POTUS Twitter account (opens in new tab), President Joe Biden describes the move as keeping his promise to “give working and middle-class families breathing room as they prepare to resume federal student loan payments in January 2023.” The long-awaited student loan forgiveness announcement comes on the heels of several student loan payment pauses that began over two years ago with provisions from the CARES ACT, passed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic....
In our Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart review, we gave the game 4.5/5 stars, as well as a coveted Editor’s Choice award: “Ever since Sony first announced the PS5, the company has hinted that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart would be the system’s first flagship game — and it is,” we wrote. The game concerns intergalactic adventurers Ratchet and Clank, who go on a dimension-hopping adventure to foil their frequent nemesis, Dr....
The Bills (2-1) are coming off a tough 21-19 loss to the Dolphins last week. How tough? A viral video of Buffalo’s offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey slamming his headset, tablet and flip chart down in the coaches’ booth should tell you all you need to know. As for the short version of what caused the outburst; early MVP candidate Josh Allen throwing a ball well short of what would have been the go-ahead touchdown with 90 seconds left is one reason....
The stuff we’ve liked so far? Well there’s some sensible choices like the beefed-up Dell XPS 13 Plus or the stunning-looking Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 monitor. There are also some weirder ones like the Alienware Concept Nyx gaming system and a novel smart bathtub. But there’s plenty more besides these and many in between these choices too. Be sure to check out the Tom’s Guide CES 2022 Award winners for all of the products we thought were the most interesting and innovative....
It’s a problem we’ve all had to deal with at one point or another, especially if you live in a hot climate. Thankfully there are a number of things you can do to quickly cool down your car — or in some cases stop it from heating up in the first place. Here are 7 essential tips for keeping your car cool during a heatwave. Looking for other ways to beat the heat?...
Disney Plus is using a new name for (most) of its newly acquired Marvel shows — the batch that’s comprised of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Defenders and Punisher — and it is … drumroll please: The Defenders Saga. And right now, I can hear some of you asking “Why does that matter?” Well, the easy answer is that it shows that Disney Plus and the folks who work on it know that fans probably want an easy way to find those shows....
Currently, existing Disney Plus members can get six free months of Uber One (opens in new tab) ($59 value) and $25 off their first Uber Eats order (opens in new tab). That’s one of the best July 4th sales we’ve seen. Not a Disney Plus member, you can sign up here (opens in new tab). Uber One is a membership program that includes $0 delivery fees on food and groceries, discounts on rides, and more....
First discovered by security researchers at Armorblox, this campaign begins with an email that has the subject line: “We Noticed An Unusual Login, [user handle]. Like other phishing attacks, it tries to instill a sense of urgency in potential victims that may be worried that someone else logged into their Instagram account. While the email appears to come from Instagram’s support team at first glance, you can tell it’s a fake due to the email address being incorrect....
While coffee pods aren’t to everyone’s taste, we can all agree that they are very convenient. Slap a pod into the machine, press a few buttons, and you’ll have a steaming cup of coffee in just a few minutes. The Keurig K-Mini is one of the best Keurig coffee machines around, and the Plus model adds a few extra features into the mix. That includes a removable water reservoir, storage for up to nine Keurig K-Cup pods and a special button for strong brewing....
Of all the sales I’ve seen this holiday, 4th of July TV sales are the ones that I’ve been most excited to cover. Why? OLED TVs are dropping in price at a rate that’s astonishing. This past weekend I wrote about the cheapest OLED TV deal ever and now Samsung’s new OLED TV just crashed to its lowest price as well, proving that both entry-level and premium OLED prices are in a free fall....
It’s also been a tumultuous summer for the Toffees. After an unexpected relegation fight almost ended in disaster last season, Everton were left with little choice but to sell top scorer Richarlison to Tottenham after the Brazilian indicated his desire to leave. To make matters worse, first-choice striker Dominic Calvert-Lewis is facing up to six weeks on the sideline after picking up a knee injury in pre-season. The incoming transfers have been relatively meager, with James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeil arriving from relegated Burnley and Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Vinagre arriving on loan....
According to a study republished in Science Daily (opens in new tab), we tend to exercise and drink on the same days, which means the two are more likely to coincide. But if you think you’ve nailed hungover workouts, more could be happening under the surface. If you’ve typed ‘is working out hungover safe?’ into Google, the results speak for themselves, but the science can be trickier to navigate. We spoke with experts to discuss why it’s probably best to back away from the weights and find kinder ways to soothe your sore head instead....
Some of these gripes extended to the premium Fitbit Sense 2, with the two new Fitbit smart watches launching just as Fitbit’s parent company launched the first Google Pixel Watch. Still, if you’re looking for a basic step counter with sleep tracking, stamina and other small conveniences at a mid-range price, this Fitbit Versa 4 review can help you decide whether it’s the best smartwatch for you. Fitbit Versa 4 price and availability The Fitbit Versa 4 is available now and costs $229 (£199, AU$379), which is the same price the Versa 3 launched at in September 2020....
Don’t let the “sponsored post” tag deter you from taking that information as a real possibility. While May juxtaposes the 2025 timeline for Samsung as a competitive disadvantage to his own company’s fingerprint reader, which is available now, he seems confident that Samsung will have an in-display fingerprint reader capable of reading three fingerprints at once by 2025. This technology may ultimately debut on the Samsung Galaxy S26 or Z series rather than on the Samsung Galaxy S25 — if Samsung even keeps those naming conventions — but either way, the technology is already in development at Samsung....
The $169 sale price for the AirPods Pro isn’t the lowest price we’ve ever seen on this particular model. But it’s close enough to that $159 all-time low to still be quite the bargain. The AirPods Pro stand out for their great active noise cancellation feature. Because they’re sweat- and water-resistant, they make for great workout companions, too. Best of all, the AirPods Pro are comfortable to wear with a semi-custom fit, and that MagSafe-friendly charging case can keep your buds powered up....
This happened to my Google Nest Hub last night. I noticed the problem when I walked into my bedroom ready to bark at the Hub to set my morning alarms, when to my own alarm I saw it was rebooting and taking a heck of a long time to do so. The Nest Hub appeared stuck on the four rotating dots of the initial booting/restarting process, with no sign of fully starting up....
Well, they’d be happy until they tried going some time between phone charges. That’s when the Pixel 7’s biggest flaw reveals itself — its battery just doesn’t last long enough. And that one flaw might be reason enough to pause and think twice about whether the Pixel 7 is the best phone you can get. Here’s what has me so concerned. On our custom battery test — in which we have phones surf the web until they run out of power — the Pixel 7 averaged a result of 7 hours and 21 minutes across multiple tests....
At a product-packed Google I/O conference last month, Google treated us to our first very brief look at the Pixel Tablet, due for release at some point in 2023. It’s the company’s first tablet since the discontinued Pixel Slate, which certainly makes it one to watch in the coming year. But if you cast your mind back to March, there was talk of another possible tablet — a tablet that would be one half of a potential new Nest Hub....
The amount you’ll save depends on how much you spend. So, if you spend $600 or more, you’ll save $100; if you spend $1,249 or more, you’ll get $150 off; spend $1,700 or more and it’s $200; $2,550 or more and your deduction will be $250; spend $2,700 or more and you can expect to save $300; and if you spend $2,950 or more, your discount will be $350. This is Helix’s evergreen deal....
