Unless you purchased one of the best cable modems along with one of the best Wi-Fi routers on your own, your internet service provider (ISP) is charging you around $10 each month in equipment fees. In fact, if you have Xfinity internet from Comcast, you’re actually paying $14 per month. Why rent when you can own? By the end of the year, you’ll end up paying your ISP $120 or more in equipment rental fees....
Android Auto is an incredibly useful tool to have, especially on long trips, but recently it seems to be looking a lot glitchier than usual. The latest issue involves the software blowing up icons to absolutely comical levels. It’s not the biggest issue to have, even less annoying than the recent issues with Google Maps getting stuck in dark mode on Android Auto. But those enlarged icons do end up taking extra screen space, impairing the driver’s ability to see anything else....
Read on and we’ll show you how to watch the match live from anywhere with a VPN (opens in new tab), potentially for FREE. Murray’s status as the greatest modern-day British tennis player is undisputed — with three Grand Slam titles, including two at Wimbledon, and eight further final appearances, nobody else comes close. However, he’s been beset by injuries for several years and, now aged 35, is not really expecting to challenge for the trophy....
But if this latest rumor is to be believed, Apple might not be one of them. While the company is rumored to have its first mixed reality headset coming later this year, it won’t be jumping on the metaverse bandwagon according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Gurman brought up the topic in the latest edition of his ‘Power On (opens in new tab)’ newsletter, and claims that the metaverse is “off limits” inside Apple....
According to a report In Bloomberg (opens in new tab), Apple stopped exporting products in the country’s sales channels as of last week, prior to pausing sales. So customers in Russia will not be able to buy the best iPhones, MacBooks, Apple Watch devices or any other Apple products. In addition, Apple is pulling the RT News and Sputnik News apps form App Stores outside of Russia. Plus, Apple has disabled traffic and live-incident features in Ukraine, presumably in Apple Maps....
We’ve been hearing bits and pieces about the Apple VR/AR headset over the past few weeks. The headset has had a long development, according to reports, and there’s still no sign of if and when it might arrive. However, a new report may shed some light on what’s been happening behind the scenes. According to The New York Times (opens in new tab), Apple’s push towards augmented reality has been pretty divisive....
Nevertheless, Black Friday iPhone deals can still help you save, and one of our favorite deals is continuing to appear at Verizon this weekend. New customers can get the iPhone 14 Pro for free via trade-in (opens in new tab) and with eligible 5G data plans.

Besides that level of basic tidying up, the best contact apps let you create groups for easier messaging, manage sales relationships and keep important info at the ready. Some of these apps even have their own dialer so that you can make a call without having to jump back to the phone app on your handset. In other words, the best contact apps offer more than what you’ll get from the built-in Google Contacts app on your Android device or from the iPhone’s Contacts offering....

Investing in the best treadmills can feel pricey, but it doesn’t have to be. Besides, investing in a great quality tread can help you save in the long run and remove the need for an expensive gym membership. When finding the best treadmill for you, it’s a good idea to think about the space you plan on using the treadmill in, as some will be bigger than others and those that have a greater incline will require a good amount of space....
We’ve tested dozens of home security cameras, and while there are a lot under $100, not all are great. But the Blink Outdoor is an exception: This small, wireless camera can be mounted just about anywhere; it produces very good 1080p video; and its two AA batteries will last up to two years on a charge. In our Blink Outdoor review, we also praised its comprehensive app, which lets you create custom motion zones, clip length, and more....
You’ll need to make sure Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge are fully up-to-date on your Windows, Mac or Linux PC, because hackers are using a just-fixed zero-day flaw to attack the browsers. It’s not clear who’s doing the attacking, but Google in a blog post (opens in new tab) Friday (March 25) drily noted that “an exploit for CVE-2022-1096,” the vulnerability in question, “exists in the wild.” That’s the acceptably understated way to sound a red alert, though the fact that this security update fixes just that one flaw underlines how serious the vulnerability must be....
Vulture (opens in new tab) reports that from September 12, Days of Our Lives will make the switch to streaming marking the end of an era. Its move will also signal NBC’s exit from a genre of television it helped pioneer: the daytime soap. The network is credited with starting the sudser craze in 1949 with These Are My Children, and the genre peaked in the early 1970s with almost 20 daytime soaps running across various channels....
A free mobile app with a suite of features is a great bonus for Discover Bank customers. The app itself likely won’t be convincing enough for you to make a switch in your banking arrangements. But if the accounts and perks available through Discover Bank sway you to become a customer, you’re in for a smooth mobile banking experience. Discover Bank app review: Features The Discover Bank app presents an easily accessible way to stay on top of your money management needs....
Editor’s note: Tom’s Guide has learned, from a source familiar with the situation, that Disney Plus with ads isn’t on Roku because of a disagreement over the terms of the contract. This would seem to make the issue mostly about how the ad sales are split between the two companies. We will continue to monitor the situation for more updates. In Disney Plus’ Help Center (opens in new tab), the service simply notes “Disney+ Basic is not currently available on Roku devices … or the Microsoft Windows Desktop app....
Though watchOS 9 compatibility was not part of the WWDC 2022 keynote, an availability note at the bottom of the watchOS 9 announcement in Apple Newsroom (opens in new tab) revealed the update is for Apple Watch Series 4 and newer. On one hand, ending support for Apple Watch Series 3 makes sense. Not only do a few of the watchOS 9 new features rely on more modern hardware than what powers the Apple Watch 3, but a five-year-old smartwatch has to stop getting updates eventually....

After last season’s close-call relegation battle, Frank Lampard’s side are quietly creeping up the table. The Toffees are unbeaten in seven matches in all competition and the defensive partnership of James Tarkowski and Conor Coady is proving hard to break down. However, goals have been in short supply with Everton only managing seven so far this season, which places them among the five lowest-scoring teams in the league. Meanwhile, Man Utd returned to winning ways in midweek after seeing off Cypriot club Omonia in the Europa League....
Cuban-American patriarch Billy (Garcia) is stunned when his daughter Sofia (Adria Arjona) announces she’s engaged — and she’s the one who proposed to fiancé Adan (Diego Boneta)! While he might not totally get their modern sensibilities, Billy is determined to give his daughter the wedding of her dreams. That means hiding the fact that his marriage to Ingrid (Estefan) is on the rocks. And it also means welcoming Adan’s big, raucous Mexican family, the Castillos....
Over the weekend, word got out that the next version of the Samsung phone with the foldable screen will feature a slightly larger battery than its predecessor. The key word there is “slightly” — the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is tipped to feature a 3,400 mAh battery when it’s slated to arrive later this year, compared to a 3,300 mAh power pack in the Galaxy Z Flip 3. Yes, a whole 100 mAh difference....
