You're watching a movie or TV show, a character says something, and you don't catch a word of it. Perhaps it just sounds like a mumbled mess or the background audio is too loud. You rewind, watch it again, and still can't understand. In the end, you either give up or enable the subtitles. It's a common problem that plagues modern media.

I spend more time watching YouTube than any other streaming service, which is probably why I'm happy to fork out for YouTube Premium, but it also means I encounter some common annoyances among content creators too.

For a long time, I overlooked Jellyfin's music streaming capabilities. Occasionally, I used the first-party Jellyfin app to listen, but the experience just felt limited and clunky, especially compared to the convenience I was used on Spotify and other music streaming apps. It turns out, I just hadn't been using the right app.

If you’ve been following tech news, you’ve probably seen AMD step on a rake. The company announced it was pulling game-ready driver support for its RDNA 1 and 2 GPUs by putting them in "maintenance mode."

When most people talk about controller mods, they’re usually referring to first-party gamepads. I wanted to take a different route and see what was possible with my GameSir Cyclone 2. After some digging, I found a couple of 3D-printable mods that looked promising, so I decided to try them out.

Mirrorless cameras have, in many ways, unseated digital SLRs as the must-have photo and video tools for the modern era. Many of us picked them for their superior video features, or just because we wanted smaller and lighter camera rigs.

WhatsApp is releasing a dedicated, full-featured app for the Apple Watch. This app will not be just another notification sender; it will connect with your WhatsApp and let you use features without needing to switch back to your iPhone.

This isn’t the Murano you remember from ten years ago. Nissan has given it its first major update since 2016, and it’s ready to shake off its old reputation. Even the previous Murano held up as a dependable family SUV, but it was starting to lag behind the flashier competition.

Building a smart home that relies on a local server rather than the cloud is a great way to avoid relying on remote servers and having your setup fall over when the internet isn’t working. But what happens if your server is the problem?

Motorola might catch more headlines for its Razr foldables, but the company also makes some of the best budget phones on the market. If you’re trying to save a buck, you don’t want to sacrifice too much, and Motorola is once again stepping up to the plate with the dependable Moto G and Moto G Play series.

The Trash in macOS is an important holding bay for your deleted files. It makes it easy to recover files that you thought you no longer needed without having to resort to a backup, and makes it almost impossible to delete something by mistake. But if you don't want to move a file to the Trash and want to delete it instantly, you can do that as well.

Devuan, a Linux distribution with a goal of offering a reliable alternative to Debian Linux without systemd, announced this week a major point release. Devuan 6.0 is here with several improvements, including a new kernel, a package manager upgrade, and more.

If you’re new to the world of 3D printing, you’ve probably seen a lot of jargon thrown around. This can be particularly off-putting for a newcomer, despite how mainstream the hobby has become in recent years.

I don’t like it when a streamer removes a ton of content, but I understand it’s necessary to make room for all the new stuff that will redirect my attention. This month, HBO Max has plenty of titles disappearing, and many are movies you should watch while you still can, even if you’ve already seen them. There’s even a riveting documentary about a case from 1971 that is largely regarded as the greatest unsolved heist in American history.

Is your Linux system slowing you down? Regular maintenance checks can help identify issues and keep your system running optimally. Fortunately, there are many Linux commands to help you.

Mazda has really stepped up its reliability game in recent years, with most of its lineup scoring near the front of the pack. The MX-5 Miata is a shining example that consistently earns praise for its trouble-free performance.

While AR/XR glasses often do more, their primary use case is as a wearable, private monitor. The RayNeo Air 3s Pro provides exactly that, with a vibrant 201-inch virtual display. Although it has fewer features than other such glasses, its quality, and low price, still stand out.

For years, the "web App Store" really only provided a way to view individual listings for apps on iOS, macOS, or other Apple operating systems. It just got a lot more useful, though in my opinion, it still falls short.

Coming up with and remembering endless passwords is the bane of my existence, and the fact you're reading this on the internet mens you probably don't like it either.
