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…

I've never been a big fan of watching videos in music streaming apps on my phone. I want to listen to songs, make playlists, and look at lyrics, but I never pick up my phone to watch a video on Spotify. If you're like me, you're going to be happy to know that Spotify is now rolling out a new feature that lets you turn off videos in its app. This goes beyond disabling the looping videos that appear when you play songs: The new feature also turns off music videos and vertical videos added by authors, returning Spotify to an audio-only platform. How to turn off videos in Spotify …

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. The Google Nest Doorbell has dropped to $139.99 (originally $179.99), and that’s the lowest price it has hit so far, according to price trackers. The design is familiar if you’ve seen Nest cameras before, with a single camera module up top and a lit doorbell button below in an IP65-rated body that handles rain and dust without issue. This is a wired unit, so it only makes sense if your home already has the right wiring in place or you’re willing to install it—it's manageable if you’re comfortable handling low-voltage wiring (16–24VAC); otherwise, it…

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. The Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDP is down to $899 from $1,299. This is a 32-inch 4K OLED monitor built for people who split their time between gaming and everything else. It’s a typical ROG display, but you also get USB-C with up to 90W charging, so a laptop can run and charge through one cable. There’s also a built-in KVM switch, which lets you jump between two systems without unplugging anything—that makes it easier to use this as a single screen for both work and play.

WhatsApp is finally getting a long-awaited privacy feature that allows you to display a username rather than your phone number, which will remain hidden from other users. This feature has been in the works for more than a year, with few details released as to its functionality and ETA. While it's still not rolling out to all users just yet, we now know a little bit more about how it will work. According to WABetaInfo (and as reported by 9to5Google), WhatsApp is set to launch usernames to a very limited number of accounts as part of a phased rollout. This means that you may not have access to this update now—but you should consider the switch as soon as it becomes availa…

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…

Bose knows how to make products that last, and very much follows the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mantra.

The next season of HBO salacious, schadenfreude-rich dramedy The White Lotus doesn't premiere until October, so you'll need to wait months yet to witness the antics of an all-new all-star cast (Helena Bonham Carter!

In the meantime, here are 10 more shows about wealthy people getting their comeuppances (or not) in lush locales.

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Sleep scores may be one of the most-checked metrics in wearable health tracking, but the companies behind them haven't agreed on a shared language. A Garmin wearer with a 75 is in "Fair" territory. An Oura wearer with a 75 is doing "Good." An Apple Watch user with a 75 might see "OK" or "High" depending on which software version they're running. Where are these numbers coming from, and what are they actually telling you? Each platform uses different scales, labels, and underlying signals to arrive at that single morning number. Here's a breakdown of how the most popular wearables calculate your "sleep score," and what tha…

From 16th-century Shakespearean grief to moody Norwegian family dramas, the most-watched movies in the country were actually good. But we are not a boring nation, so there are wicked diversions like Ready or Not and The Housemaid in the mix too. Here are the top 10 movies across all streaming platforms for March 2026, according to Just Watch. Hamnet (2025) Good job having elevated taste, America.

Now, if you recently acquired a Kindle—recently meaning anytime in the past 10 years—you don't need to worry. But for anyone who is still rocking an older Kindle, you might be affected. The news started spreading on Tuesday, followed by a confirmation from Amazon. In a statement to PCMag, Amazon said the following: “Starting May 20, 2026, customers using Kindle and Kindle Fire devices released in 2012 and earlier will no longer be able to purchase, borrow, or download new content via the Kindle Store.” Amazon's first ever Kindle dropped back in 2007,…

Millions of Android users are now eligible to claim some cash from Google as part of a $135 million settlement. If you have a qualifying device, you could receive up to $100 once the final approval hearing is completed in June. What is this Android settlement about? This settlement is part of a class-action lawsuit filed earlier this year alleging that Google collected unnecessary data from Android users over cellular networks in the background and without permission—even when Google apps were closed and location sharing disabled. Google denied any wrongdoing but agreed to a $135 million payout along with a commitment to implement additional disclosures shown during Andr…

Samsung’s 65-inch S95F OLED TV is now down to $2,199.99 from $2,997.99—just a couple of dollars shy of its lowest tracked price, according to price trackers.

The new unit includes free delivery to your room (you will need to handle setup yourself), and a one-month trial of Xbox Game Pass for new users, which adds some immediate value if you plan to use it for gaming. …

Google is back with yet another AI service—this time, an offline dictation program using its "Gemma" architecture. But rather than include it within the Gemini app, or as a Gemini function, the company has decided to roll it out into a dedicated iPhone app, with the very catchy name of "Google AI Edge Eloquent." I decided to give the app a shot on release day, though the privacy policy gave me pause. Google says that your location, contacts, identifiers, device diagnostics, contact info, user content, usage data, and "other" data can be linked to you, while purchases and other diagnostics can be collected but not linked to you. That's a lot of data, especially for an app…

This week's collection might seem like a random assortment of odds and ends, but there's a throughline: vibes and absurdism over logic and order. Slang words like 7x7=49 and lowkenuinely don't make logical sense, but they are intuitively perfect. The Sea Lion is a purely absurdist anti "dance-craze" taking over TikTok, and Pizza Movie takes "drug flick" tropes to surreal new levels. In other words, Gen Z and A are not trying to make sense of anything anymore. What does the "7x7=49" meme actually mean?This piece of math-slang is growing popular on TikTok as a way of explaining what women find attractive in men. It's about how the equation feels. 7X7=49 makes intuitive sen…

When companies like OpenAI and Google started rolling out generative AI models to the general public, I doubt they predicted how attached people would get to the technology—and the effect it would have on their collective mental health. Some ChatGPT users legitimately mourned when OpenAI shutdown its GPT-4o model, as they treated that specific model like a companion. Others have taken darker paths with their chatbots, resulting in lawsuit against AI companies whose technology allegedly advised and encouraged suicidal thoughts. This situation puts a lot of pressure on these companies, as it should: Generative AI is hugely influential right now, and there's a lot of respons…

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…

I've been using Pixel phones every day for several years at this point, so I thought I'd discovered every secret menu and hidden feature these Google handsets have to offer—but it turns out I was wrong. Make Use Of enlightened me about the diagnostic tool built into Google Pixels, hidden away behind the number pad of the phone app. Its official name is the Pixel Repair Diagnostics App, and according to Google, it's built into every Pixel phone and tablet. It gives you a dashboard for testing just about every part of your phone's setup, from Bluetooth connections to camera sensors. The Pixel R…

Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra headphones have been easy to recommend since their late 2023 launch, but the price held them back. That changes with this open-box deal. Right now, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones in sandstone are down to $242.49 on Woot, compared to about $329 for a new pair on Amazon. Price trackers show earlier dips closer to $279, so this undercuts previous lows. The catch is the “open box” label—these units may have been returned, tested, or repackaged (but they’re cleared to work like new). Shipping is free for Prime members, w…
