When I first saw the new Portraits watch face for the Apple Watch during Apple’s WWDC event in early June, I didn’t pay much attention to it. I’ve never set personal photos as my watch face background, even though Apple states it’s the most popular watch face, opting instead for a Modular face full of information. However, …

Google Photos users were spoiled. For years, Google allowed us to save as many photos and videos as we wanted into the cloud service as long as Google could slightly reduce the quality without a dramatic impact on how our memories looked. Better yet, it didn’t matter if you used an Android phone or an iPhone — Google treated everyone …

One of the coolest camera features on the iPhone is portrait mode. It makes your subject pop and can give your pictures a dramatic look. Basically, when you take a photo, it keeps the subject in focus while making the background of the picture look artistically out of focus.

Mixtiles are 8×8-inch framed photos — “tiles” — you can easily hang and rehang, no nails required. They rely on residue-free sticky pads, which make them simple to adjust or even relocate.

Gone are the days of trying to find a scanner, or even worse, cluttering up your desk with one of those all-in-one printer/scanner combos, for the handful of times a year you need to create a digital version of a document. Apple’s iPhone has a hidden document scanner in its Notes app, and now Android owners have a dedicated app …

After years of swearing you didn’t need a printer at home, well, here you are. Now that everyone’s been officing-in-place for going on a year, sometimes you just need to print something out.

Even if you’re suffering from streaming-service overload, this is a deal that deserves a look. For a limited time, you can get four months of NBC’s Peacock Premium for just $10. That works out to $2.50 a month, or half the regular price (which was already a pretty solid deal). See it at Peacock As always with promotions like this, …
