Time for a TV upgrade? Even if you own a model that’s only a few years old, I suspect you’d be mighty happy to swap it out for a 65-inch Hisense H8G. This model does all the things — like, all the things, including a few things you probably didn’t know were things. For example, …

What’s the best computer for an older person, someone in their 60s, 70s, 80s or beyond? That’s a tricky question, and it’s not meant to suggest that elderly users are somehow limited in their skills or capabilities. These generations simply didn’t have the benefit of growing up surrounded by screens, and they may have specific challenges associated with age. I’m …

I’ve seen more people in my neighborhood out for a routine run recently — that’s especially comforting in a time when nothing is routine.

With everyone quarantined at home, you may find yourself with a computer deficit. Mrs. Cheapskate, for example, needs remote access for the first time, but there’s no extra machine for her to use. Sure, we could buy a new laptop, but I’m eyeballing another option: a mini-PC. Like this one: For a limited time, and while supplies last, Amazon seller …

I’m a sucker for single-use kitchen appliances. Just look in my cupboards to see a vast wasteland of pizza makers, risotto makers, ice cream topping mixers (don’t even ask) and more. But one cheap little gadget is the smartest purchase I’ve ever made: Colonel Popper is a silicone bowl that makes perfectly popped popcorn in your microwave. I paid $25 …

I am not shy about recommending mechanical keyboards to anyone who will listen. It doesn’t matter if you’re a gamer or just do a lot of typing — there’s nothing like the feel of real mechanical switches under your fingers, and I’ve used one at home for at least the last 10 years.

There are never enough places to plug stuff in near my bed — between my phone, iPad, headphones, lamp and Amazon Echo, I need to keep a deluxe USB power strip under my pillow. Here’s a better option.
