The $200 JBL Boost TV speaker is on sale for $100

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 now makes super

Amazon has maintained a program for years called “Add-on items,” which restricts certain inexpensive products from shipping unless you hit a $25 threshold.

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 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 …
