While it feels like ages until we return to the Ton for a new season of Bridgerton, we’re already looking ahead to season 5 of the Netflix series. As one of the returning shows to watch on Netflix this year, people have been fawning over Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie (Yerin Ha), but now that season 4 has concluded, we have to start thinking about what’s next.

Are you a Samsung user secretly jealous of the clean Pixel look? Do you find yourself tired of One UI's heavy personality? Well, it turns out you can get surprisingly close to a Pixel software experience while sticking to your trusty Samsung hardware. And the best part is that it’ll only require a couple of apps and a few minutes of tweaking.

Electric vehicles have experienced some of the fastest depreciation rates in the modern auto market, driven by rapid technological advances and shifting consumer demand. Models that once commanded premium prices are now appearing on the used market with surprisingly steep discounts. In some cases, buyers can save thousands of dollars simply by opting for a lightly used example instead of buying new.

Everyone is excited about OpenClaw and how it's possible to turn one (or more) of your Raspberry Pis into AI agents that can autonomously work even when you're not directing them.

Ever tried to apply the same dimensions to 20 different pictures in Microsoft Word? Or delete every third row in a massive table? It's a nightmare of menus and right-clicks. That is—unless you know a single keyboard shortcut that turns repetitive tasks into a one-second tap. Let me introduce you to F4.

Imagine typing a single formula into cell A1 and watching it create a 100-cell grid without lifting a finger. No dragging, no clutter, no $ locking, and no errors. That's the power of MAKEARRAY. It uses a single, elegant formula to create dynamic, robust datasets in seconds. It's time to let Excel do the heavy lifting!

2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the ResidentEvil franchise, Capcom's classic survival horror video game juggernaut that has broken the containment of consoles and transformed into several movie and television adaptations. These reimaginings, however, have proven to be one of the more controversial corners of the franchise, often critiqued for their handling of the source material and narratives.

While Windows is more than a decent operating system, the recent deluge of AI features no one asked for, coupled with a number of rather annoying features that are enabled by default, can clutter the UI and sour the everyday Windows experience.

I haven't had the best luck with ISPs. In fact, I've been fighting them for over a decade now. But even I know that often, connection issues aren't caused by your internet service provider—they're caused by small mistakes related to your network.

If you've spend any meaningful time inside ChatGPT—brainstorming ideas, planning schedules, organizing your thoughts—you've probably felt the friction of having to move all that work into a separate tool afterward. But what if you didn't have to? What if ChatGPT, apart from helping you tackle your projects and tasks, could also help you manage them?

Where I live in Florida, power interruptions are just part of life. The lights flicker, the voltage dips, or the power cuts out for a few seconds without much warning. Brownouts happen throughout the year, and sometimes they're enough to crash a computer or interrupt whatever you're working on.

I'd like to believe I'm a champion of the cinematic experience. Call me old school, but nothing beats the feeling of watching a movie on the big screen in a packed theater on a Friday night. I vividly remember how the audience exploded for Iron Man during his snap in Avengers: Endgame. I can still hear the screams from my theater when Chris enters the "sunken place" in Get Out. These are memories I'll always cherish.

Finding a new vehicle that is fuel-efficient, safe, and genuinely affordable can feel daunting. As we move through 2026, the national average transaction price for a new car has trended so high that even a six-figure salary might not provide enough cushion when factoring in other living expenses. Subaru, however, is taking a refreshingly different path with the 2026 Forester Hybrid.

Depending on how you go about it, building or buying a NAS can be an expensive hobby or a cost-effective venture. You can repurpose an old PC and turn it into a NAS, but you can also buy highly specialized, ready-made NAS units to satisfy all your storage needs. One way or another, even just the hard drives alone can cost a lot, especially considering the current prices of storage.

Sometimes, fuel economy figures are seen as fixed and unchangeable numbers. That what appears on the EPA window sticker (i.e., city, highway, and combined) when a vehicle is new are the preset numbers, no matter what.

I'm a big believer in smart home automation over smart home control. Being able to turn on a light using an app on your phone or by asking Alexa is great, but the light turning on automatically when you enter the room is much better.

Google doesn’t have the best reputation when it comes to privacy, but that doesn’t mean it’s all bad. Pixel phones actually have some of the best privacy-focused features you can find in the Android world. You just have to make sure to enable them.

Subcompact SUVs have exploded in popularity over the past decade. Automakers rushed to meet demand, rolling out smaller crossovers built for city life and young families.

Installing apps on Windows hasn't changed much in years. Most people still open a browser, search for the program they want, download an installer, and click through a handful of setup screens. It works, but it's slow and repetitive. If you're setting up a new PC or reinstalling Windows, the process gets even worse. Installing a handful of everyday apps can mean jumping between half a dozen websites and repeating the same steps over and over or pulling out a USB drive full of installers and running them one by one.

If you ask me, the 1980s and 1990s were the golden age of action films. However, everyone knows the classics from the 20th century. If we start the clock at the year 2001 or later to give newer films a fair chance, how do they rank? This is my attempt at putting up a scoreboard for the new century so far.
