Life is stressful enough without the hassles of lost or misplaced keys, phones, wallets and the like. A while back my daughter dropped a little pouch containing her college room key and student ID, and what followed was 48 hours of frenzied, frustrated searching. The cost to replace those two items would have been around …

The Motorola Moto G family of phones has a history of finding that sweet spot between well-considered necessities and an affordable price. Over the past three years, the Moto G5 Plus, Moto G6 and Moto G7 showed us just how good budget phones can be. Last year, the budget landscape got more crowded when Google launched the Pixel 3A and …

When I was a kid, my mom taught me never to play in traffic, accept candy from strangers or pay full price for an Amazon smart speaker. She was a smart woman: Alexa spends an awful lot of time on sale. The Echo Show 5, for example, dips down from $90 to $65 at least once a month. And it’s …

“Whoa. This is the Galaxy S20 Ultra?” I was so surprised, I said it aloud. Samsung’s Unpacked event was the first time I got my hands on Samsung’s biggest and baddest Galaxy S20 device. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I had to skip the typical journalist briefing session, so it wasn’t until I held the S20 Ultra earlier this week that …

This week’s galaxy of new Samsungs came with a Samsung Galaxy S10 announcement: Price cuts are coming. Not immediately, but soon — probably when the Galaxy S20 goes on sale next week. You’ll be able to save $200 on the S10 and S10 Plus and $150 on the S10E. That will put the latter at $599. Amazon isn’t waiting. For …

MacOS got dark mode a few years ago in Mojave, allowing Mac users to apply a dark theme across apps. Android 10 got a systemwide dark mode setting last year, making it drop-dead easy to go dark in the latest version of Google’s mobile OS. And iPhones and iPads got a dark theme in last year’s iOS 13 and iPadOS. You …

Google Maps tries to chart out the globe for more than a billion users around the world. But it’s not so simple when those people disagree on where the lines should be drawn. So the search giant displays political borders differently depending on where a viewer is, according to a report Friday by The Washington Post.  For example, take Kashmir, …

Huawei is getting a 45-day reprieve from the US Commerce Department, which announced Thursday it’s extending a temporary general license allowing American companies to do business with it. The reprieve is half the period of its prior extensions — Huawei previously got 90-day reprieves in May, in August and in November. Huawei was blacklisted by the US in May when it was …

There are probably just a few beings in your life who love you more or less unconditionally: your parents, your kids (if you have them), your dog (or cat) and your relationship partner. There are other days to celebrate parents and kids, but Valentine’s Day is here. Hopefully you’ve already lined up an awesome gift for that very special person …

Windows 10 power users and novices alike can benefit from customizing the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system to fit their unique needs. Whether it’s removing an unwanted app, tweaking the Windows Taskbar, or swapping the Microsoft Edge browser for another browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, there are dozens of ways to make every Windows install more efficient …

When Samsung announced the Galaxy S20 lineup earlier this week, I made the case for considering the Galaxy S10 instead. That previous-generation model is about to get a price cut, and you can already get it pretty cheap if you’re game for a refurb. OK, but let’s go back another generation. Way back in 2018, the Galaxy S9 was the …
