I get this question often enough that I thought I’d share it with you here. The answer, of course, is it depends. I’ll walk you through a few of the best options out there — and who they’re best for.
Your TV might be smart enough that all the apps you need are built-in. That’s not true for a lot of them, and honestly, streaming boxes and sticks are easier to use.

Think about all the accounts connected to it: your bank and other financial apps, email inbox and private text messages containing who knows what.
Picture this: You’re out at a local brewery with pals enjoying a cold pint when a friendly stranger starts making conversation. He seems nice enough and asks about fantasy football. You excitedly pull out your phone and unlock it to show him your draft strategies, and voilà, he sees you enter your PIN.
We’ve come a long way from the days of visiting Blockbuster Video on a Friday night to find a few movies to pass the weekend. These days, you don’t have to get off the couch to rent the latest Hollywood smash hit.

How do you get your resume out of digital purgatory and into a hiring manager’s hands? A crazy trick some tech-savvy job seekers are using made the news, and I want you to know about it.
So, your Wi-Fi is spotty and super slow. Or maybe it’s just unreliable, depending on what room you’re in. The bad news: It could be just about anything. Signal congestion, physical location, firmware issues, hardware limitations or even your internet service provider limiting you.
Picture this. It’s a nice day, and you sit in a comfy chair to listen to the birds and enjoy your morning beverage. I bet you’re calmer just thinking about that.
And it’s not just you. Researchers say bird songs and calls are some of the most restorative sounds in nature, helping our brains and nervous systems get a nice reset. Those sounds can ease anxiety, too.
My artistic skills don’t paint a pretty picture. That’s why I am utterly astounded by AI-generated images. Today’s AI art looks more and more like the real thing, and Meta just unleashed its CM3leon AI art tool.
Listen, we all know Mark Zuckerberg and his Meta corporation have questionable judgment and sell our data to anyone he can, but they might just be onto something here. Let’s break down the hype. By the end, I promise you’ll understand a lot more about AI art.
