Just like QLED TVs, QD-OLED sets start with a blue light source and use quantum-dot material to produce red and green light. But because they are OLEDs, the light source, in this case, is each individual pixel. Because these TVs don’t use color filters in front of the light source, QD-OLED TVs have the potential to…
A lot of us are slouchers. We hunch over our desk 40 hours a week and bend awkwardly toward our phones the rest of the time. If reading that just made you adjust your shoulders, it’s time to work on your posture, because bad posture doesn’t just cause temporary pain and stiffness, it could be…
Using an Eero mesh system without the Eero Plus subscription limits you to a basic set of options. You can schedule Wi-Fi downtime, set up a guest network, and use your Eero as a smart home hub. That might be enough for most, but here’s what you get if you subscribe. First, it’s worth noting…
Eons ago, I worked a retail job selling gaming headsets (among other things) during the PS3 era. Even back then, I was annoyed that most headphone manufacturers had virtually identical versions of the same headset, distinguished solely by whether they were compatible with the Xbox or PlayStation. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X Wireless may not…
Fats, oils, and grease (what the waste industry refers to as FOG) are the bane of any plumber’s or water treatment worker’s existence. And “the more unwanted waste we can keep out of waterways, the fewer contaminants for our wastewater and drinking water treatment facilities to clean out of waters we use for drinking and recreational activities like fishing or swimming,”…
Similar to full-sized models, portable carpet cleaners have two principal functions: They dispense clean water with detergent onto your dirty carpet, then suction up the dirty liquid. All of the portable models we tested have separate tanks for clean and dirty water, though it’s worth noting that their tanks are smaller than those of their…
A mix of small independent grocers and large regional chain supermarkets are primarily responsible for keeping our cupboards full. But in recent years, a handful of grocers have been establishing a more national presence. If one or more of the stores below aren’t already in your neck of the woods, they may be soon. Aldi…
Alex English should be on summer break when I call him on a Thursday afternoon, but instead he’s fresh off of two stand-up sets in New York City, and is last-minute packing for a red-eye flight to London, where he will take the stage at the Top Secret Comedy Club that weekend. The work never…
Fortnite maker Epic Games publicly lashed out at Apple on Friday, after its latest proposal for a rival iOS App Store was rejected by the smartphone maker. The company said on X that this rejection was triggered after Apple argued the design of Epic’s app store too closely resembled its own. This decision follows Epic’s…
If you’re replacing your Mountain Dew habit with a can of plain La Croix, please keep doing so. Mountain Dew has sugar and calories (a lot of them); La Croix has none. It is, as the packaging proclaims, “Innocent!” Or almost, anyway. When carbon dioxide is added to water, it also adds some acidity. In…
