I’m a fan of Totallee’s thin and slim phone cases. I like the “barely there” approach that gives you grippability (modern phones are engineered from the ground up to slip out of your hands) and a small amount of protection from falls, but still feels like your phone is almost naked. Now you can try …

If you’re in the market for a new iPhone or a new carrier or both, this might be a good time to check out Xfinity Mobile’s offer. For a limited time, you can get $200 off any iPhone when you transfer an existing number and set up a new line of service. That savings is delivered in the form of …

It doesn’t matter what kind of TV you have: If you’re relying on the integrated speakers, your sound system is terrible. That’s why you can’t understand dialogue and all the music and sound effects sound like they’re played through a transistor radio. The best thing you can do to upgrade your home theater audio is to add a soundbar — …

Cheeps! Have you listened to the latest episode of the Cheapskate Show podcast? You should, especially if you’re in a back-to-school mindset. (I know this is a fraught topic, but whether they’re at home or in classrooms, students are going to need gear. Affordable gear, ideally.) Anyhow, here’s the show if you want to have a listen, followed by a …

Now it’s back, but from another source: For a limited time, and while supplies last, Alldayzip via Rakuten has the AirPods Pro for $215 with promo code ALL15.  See it at Rakuten To take advantage of …

The average Bluetooth speaker has nowhere near enough power for parks, pool parties, the beach and other wide-open spaces. If you really want to crank up your tunes, you need something big. Like this: Today only, and while supplies last, Meh has the Braven BRV-XXL/2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker for $149, plus $5 for shipping. This second-gen version of the BRV-XXL, …

Good headphones have a reputation for being expensive. Good wireless headphones? Doubly so. Noise-canceling headphones? Triply so (that’s an actual word, I checked). But before you plunk down $200 or more on a back-to-school or back-to-quarantine set of wireless ANC headphones, consider this: Amazon seller SoundElec has the Mpow H19 IPO Active Noise Cancelling Headphones for $25 when you apply …

Apple has joined an industry trend toward more inclusive language in its technical domain, replacing terms with racial overtones like a “master” branch of a software project or a “blacklist” to describe resources a computer might be blocked from accessing. Apple started making the changes in its own documentation and beta software released last month at its WWDC conference. But …

Cheapskates don’t use Microsoft Office. Or, at least, they don’t pay for it: Microsoft offers pretty decent freebie versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint that live in your browser. And let’s not forget the various free alternatives, such as Google Docs, LibreOffice and WPS Office. All that being said, I like a good deal, and this is a good deal. For …

Odds are good that several months ago you hadn’t been planning to spend a lot of time working from home, but here you are — trying to make the best of your laptop when you used to have an enormous monitor on your desk at work. A second monitor can give you a lot more screen room, but who has …
