You’ve heard this song before: The biggest, fanciest TV in the world is still going to suffer from mediocre sound, because a flat screen leaves little space for decent speakers. That’s why I’m constantly recommending soundbars (see: The best soundbars for 2019). Of course, usually those are big bars intended to go with big screens. What about the smaller TV …

Amazon has maintained a program for years called “Add-on items,” which restricts certain inexpensive products from shipping unless you hit a $25 threshold. Amazon says the program has let it offer really cheap stuff that’s otherwise too costly to ship on its own. Well, it ends up that Amazon quietly shrank the size of its “Add-on” program, making it easier …

Netflix made a push for Asian subscribers on Thursday by expanding its cheap mobile-only subscription to Malaysia. It was previously only available in India, after being revealed in July. The service costs 17 ringgit (around $4), and allows one phone or tablet to view a standard-definition (480-pixel) stream at a time. It’s slightly more expensive than the 199 rupees (about …

Hold onto your wallets: It’s impulse-buy time. Today I bring you a pair of speaker deals that are just plain difficult to pass up, even if you think you already have all the speakers you need. Maybe there’s a gift-giving occasion in your future. Or a shower. Whatever the case, I recommend grabbing these before they’re gone — which may …

Honor is a sub-brand of Chinese firm Huawei, meaning it’s banned from using Google services (including Android) just like its parent company. Why, then, has the new Honor 9X arrived in Europe running Android 9? Honor hasn’t found a cheeky loophole, it’s actually that the phone was in development (and indeed on sale in China) before the ban was fully …

Google‘s Play Store reportedly labeled the keyboard app Fleksy as being appropriate only for ages 12 and up because of a middle finger emoji, while Google’s own Gboard app is rated suitable for all ages, despite containing the same emoji. The Fleksy keyboard app has been available in the European Play Store for about eight years and had a rating of …

Google’s Pixel 4 and 4 XL are now shipping and while we’ve known about the device for months, on Thursday the folks at iFixit took Google’s latest XL phone apart to see just what goes into the handset.  While much of it is relatively unsurprising, the teardown reveals just what Google is doing with Soli — its radar tech that allows …

Twitter‘s efforts to make itself a healthier place helped it rake in users even as controversy over its policies heats up with the US moving into a new election cycle. The user growth, however, didn’t translate into strong revenue or profit gains.  On Thursday, Twitter said that 145 million users logged in and were shown ads daily during the third quarter, up …

Disney Plus is designed to be the one-stop streaming shop for all things Disney, but Disney Plus will have some holes: Some popular titles, including a large number of Marvel movies, won’t be available at launch, and others will have to leave the service for periods of time.  Speaking Tuesday at Vanity Fair’s New Establishment Summit, Disney CEO Bob Iger suggested …

Your days of lurking on Instagram without being logged in seem to be over. It’s no longer possible to dig into a public Instagram account unless you’re signed into your own.  It’s not clear exactly when the change went into effect, but Mashable caught it and reported Wednesday that a Facebook spokesperson confirmed it.  Instagram didn’t immediately respond to a …

Amazon announced that starting Thursday, Apple’s TV app is now available for download to Amazon Fire TV devices, namely the newest Fire TV streaming stick and the Fire TV Stick 4K. Amazon says the app is coming soon to more Fire TV devices, including older Fire TV streamers, the Fire TV Cube, Fire TV Edition televisions and the Nebula Fire TV Edition sound bar. …

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey gave a resounding negative answer when asked whether his social media platform would be joining Facebook’s Libra cryptocurrency project, according to multiple reports. During a Twitter event in New York City Thursday, Dorsey said “hell no” to the prospect. Facebook in June unveiled the global digital coin, which will be managed by a governing body called the Libra …

Getting to know the Surface Pro 7 is like visiting an old friend. Usually around this time of year there’s a new collection of computer hardware from Microsoft, and whatever is new ends up being in my PC rotation throughout the rest of the year. In 2019, the same seems to be holding true so far, but there are a …

Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL orders have reportedly been delayed for customers on Amazon. After preordering an orange Pixel 4 last week, Droid Life reported Wednesday that delivery has been delayed from Thursday until between Nov. 30 and Jan. 2. The Pixel 4 starts at $799 for a 64GB model and $899 for the XL version. In the …
