But according to the formula we use for estimating annual ink costs, the printer would go through $160 worth of ink in a year, which puts its five-year cost of ownership at a whopping…
In her classic novel Frankenstein, author Mary Shelley imagines a monster that’s reanimated with its piecemeal body sewn together, tendon by tendon. “The dissecting room and the slaughter-house furnished many of my materials,” Shelley writes. That’s exactly what scrolling through Instagram feels like right now—an ungodly morass of features stitched together. It’s an AI search…

So that means you can’t download more advanced software like video editing, photo editing, or industry-specific applications. The only apps you can download are the Android apps you’ll find in the Google Play Store. This can be…

In 2011, a year before Netflix’s Lilyhammer and two years before the arrival of House of Cards, the burgeoning streamer premiered The Morning After, a pop-culture-focused news show that ran for 800…
Normally we think the Canon EOS R8 is the best deal, but when you can save $500 on an EOS R5 C Body, why not upgrade? The R5 offers a 45 Megapixel Full-frame sensor and can shoot 8K RAW Video. It’s a powerhouse of a camera and a steal at this price. If you don’t…
JBL makes a mean Bluetooth speaker, and the brand’s Flip series has been my all-time favorite for multiple generations. The JBL Flip 7 is its best yet, with good sound, a travel-ready size, and subtle but effective upgrades over the previous two models in both sound and features. I love this speaker and its nearly…
