Best TVs, YouTube downloads, using Google Images and more: Tech Q&A
Each week, I receive tons of questions from my listeners about tech concerns, new products and all things digital.
Sometimes, choosing the most interesting questions to highlight is the best part of my job.

Picking the right TV
Q: I’d like a 70-inch television, but my wife says that our couch is too close to the wall in the den. I think she’s more concerned about the price. She’s cheap. How far away should you sit from a 70-inch set? My next Super Bowl party awaits your answer!
A: You definitely don’t want to sit too close or too far. There’s a sweet spot to catch all the action, and it depends on the dimensions of your den.
But there are other questions. Will you mount the TV on the wall or place it in an entertainment center? Where can you safely install such behemoths away from intense heat sources and the glaring sun?
Once you consider all these factors, it’s much easier to find the right fit. Tap or click here for the formula to help you select the right-sized TV for any room.
Download YouTube videos
Q: Is there a way to download YouTube videos? There is a share button by the video but no download button. I want to save these videos in case owners take them down.
Google’s new AI model is a copyright nightmare: People are using it to remove watermarks from images so cleanly that it fills in the gaps like magic. It can also generate images of celebrities and well-known characters. Like this one of Elon Musk chilling at some random guy’s desk.
