Monitors with rolling stands are undeniably a bit of a niche product - while they might not be as popular as standalone TVs and gaming monitors, they offer an added perk: flexibility. Designed to easily move from room to room while remaining stable, they free up desk space and eliminate the need for a media stand, and offer height adjustability, making them a smart choice for studios, small apartments, and even home gyms. Right now, the 32-inch Samsung Movingstyle M7 4K smart monitor with an adjustable rolling stand is down to a record-low price of …

While I'd never presume to speak for her, I suspect that Margaret Atwood would be perfectly happy to be a little less hot right now, if only it meant that her works of fiction, always prescient, weren't so alarmingly present. Written in 1985, The Handmaid's Tale feels closer than ever, and its 2019 sequel, The Testaments, now has a much-anticipated adaptation of its own. While Handmaid saw a generation of women coming to grips with an oppressive Christian nationalist regime consolidating its power, The Testaments finds a later generation of young women who've never known any different; for whom this is all perfectly normal…

While iOS has caught up in recent years, Android is still the most versatile OS when it comes to smartphone gaming—especially if you're looking beyond downloading games from app stores. Android supports a huge number of emulators, as well as game controllers and game pads. If you want to play a game, there's a decent chance you can get it up and running on Android. And yet, the OS doesn't have something that many other modern gaming platforms do: native controller remapping. The idea is, you get to choose which of your controller's buttons do what. If you'd prefer your down button to have the same effect as the L1 button, or the D-pad to have the same inputs as the right…

YouTube is a melting pot for everything from music videos and movie trailers to wilderness survival tutorials and funny animal clips. You could quite literally spend all day, every day plugged into the app and never run out of things to watch, or rabbit holes to go down. That's great, but it's also something of a problem—many of us use YouTube in different ways and for different purposes at different times, and that can make organizing and finding new content tricky. Just because you've spent four hours trying to troubleshoot a car engine problem doesn't mean you necessarily ever want to see a vehicle maintenance video ever again. For me, the issue is my love of lo-fi and…

Apple Music has an edge among music streaming services in specific categories, including sound quality, music organization, and lack of ads. While it may not be the best option out there for all users, it offers a solid experience (especially if you're on iOS). Here are the tips, tricks, and hidden hacks to get the most out of Apple Music. Import songs directly from other streaming services to Apple MusicMoving from one music streaming service to another can be a huge hassle, not least because you won't want to lose all the playlists you've curated in the transition. There are third-party services that facilitate transfers, but Apple Music has a direct import feature pow…

That may mean Crossfit classes multiple times a week, going for a run every morning, or hiring a personal trainer to walk them through a customized workout. Everything comes with a cost, though. So let’s talk about what you’ll be spending in a variety of scenarios, from the cost of each type of gym, to the upgrades you’ll probably go for, to the comparative cost of at-home alternatives. The cost of joining a no-frills gymWhat it takes to get started: The main cost here is the membership itself. Budget chain gyms like Crunch and Plan…

Samsung's One UI software for its Galaxy phones comes packed with features and functionality, but there are also several official extra apps made by Samsung that don't come preinstalled on its phones—and they're well worth checking out. I've already written about the various Good Lock plug-ins—which let you build your own keyboards and set separate volume levels for individual apps—but that's not all there is to explore when it comes to additional apps. There's also Galaxy Enhance-X, a tool for polishing and improving your photos and videos, as well as manipulating digital documents. Enhance-X can do everything from applying cinematic filters to pictures, to scanning in d…

The Bear is a phenomenon not only because exploring what goes on in the kitchen is fascinating, but because it's also one of the best shows on TV when it comes to portraying family drama, generational trauma, and the intense pressure of being the best at something. Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) is a tortured artist who might be one of the top chefs in the world, but his self-doubt is the engine that keeps the show racing along into uncertainty. Add in the precision and pressure of a high-end restaurant and brigade-style kitchen, and you have the perfect recipe for drama and humor. Plus, the opportunity to watch mouth…

When you’re in zone 2, you’re working hard enough that you start breathing more heavily, but easy enough that you could hold a conversation while doing it. You stop a zone 2 session because your workout time is up, not because you’re too exhausted to continue. Zone 2 is defined in terms of heart rate, so what heart rate should you expect to see on your watch when you’re in zone 2? That’s where people disagree. What is zone 2 training?As I’ve explained before, the name “zone 2” comes fro…

This past Christmas, I came up with the perfect idea for my 15-year-old son's "big gift"—a set of adjustable dumbbells and an adjustable weight-lifting bench. It was perfect for two reasons. First, because my son and his friends had gotten into lifting several months earlier, and he loved it, but the weather (or life in general) couldn't always cooperate in order for him to get to the gym when he wanted. And second, because we live in a 100-year-old home that is generally lacking in space—or even a garage—we're limited on how much of a "home gym" we can really accommodate. Having essentially a full set of weights, plus a b…

Apple is undoubtedly behind in the AI race. "Apple Intelligence" has fewer features and less utility than similar products from competitors; the company has no chatbot of its own; and we're still waiting on the AI-powered Siri upgrade Apple first revealed back in 2024. And yet, much of that could change with iOS 27. The update is shaping up to be a bit of a catch-up moment for Apple, as rumors suggest we'll finally see both the updated Siri as well as Apple's attempt at a ChatGPT-like chatbot. And it now seems there's a good chance the update will also include new photo editing features that could directly compete with others across the AI market. Photos is getting "Appl…

It's official: For the second year in a row, Google will be hosting "The Android Show: I/O Edition" ahead of its big I/O event. It's a sign the company once again has many announcements going into the developer conference, and, rather than cutting down on any specific category, would prefer to sequester the Android portion of the event into its own keynote. That's good news at least for Android fans, who will be watching for any developments on Google's mobile OS. That also indicates that Google I/O 2026 will focus on Google's endeavors outside of Android—perhaps, most importantly, AI. While Gemini is a key component of Android these days, the company is rolling out new…

This story seems straight out of a Hollywood thriller: Up to a dozen scientists working on some of the U.S.’s most advanced and sensitive aerospace and nuclear programs have disappeared or died in mysterious ways over the last five years. The FBI is working with the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, and local law enforcement to find answers. The House Oversight Committee launched its own investigation. Congressman Eric Burlison said the mystery has “all the hallmarks of a foreign operation.” The president called it “pretty serious stuff." Congressman James Comer suggested someone is targeting the nation’s nuclear program. Rep. Tim Burchett alleged a cover-…

The 65-inch Toshiba C350 Fire TV is down to $264.99 on Amazon right now, which is half off its usual $529.99 price and the lowest it has dropped so far, according to price trackers.

Once you sign in with your Amazon account, Prime Video recom…

Studios want to get their best material in front of as many eyes as possible in the run up to the Oscars, leading to a glut of streaming prestige movies, an embarrassment of cinematic riches.

Here's the full list of the top 10 most-streamed movies of February 2026 across all major streaming services, as compiled by JustWatch. Predator: Badlands (2025) …

This is a place where all manner of illegal and underhand activity takes place, as well as somewhere internet users can free themselves from government censorship and draconian surveillance.

When you’re shopping around for a massage gun, you want to focus on features that justify the price. Specifically, I focus on features like speed settings (both intensity and versatility), noise and ease of use, battery life, and size. I've learned the hard way that when you're looking for a travel-sized massage gun, you have to be extra shrewd. I was once gifted a mini massage gun that, according to the holiday gift exchange rules, must have cost less than $30. It ran out of battery within one or two minutes of weak “massaging.” All of that is to s…

Spending $300 on a gaming monitor usually means picking a lane: You either go for resolution or speed and live with the compromise. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCG tries to ease that trade-off. It’s currently down to $299 (originally $449) as part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, which ends today, and this is the lowest it has dropped, according to price trackers. The idea is simple: use it as a sharp 4K display most of the time, then switch to a faster 1080p mode when you care more about responsiveness. …
