    News Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6: All the rumors so far

    I got a Flip6 with a special deal from Google Fi. I like that it carries comfortably in my hand when folded and turns off automatically when I shut the phone as opposed to pushing a button or waiting for it to time out. I have found that the fingerprint reader is much better (ie it actually...

    News No Mow May — 7 reasons to stop mowing your lawn this month

    I live in the boondocks and I can give you one reason it's very important to mow, especially when the grass is growing at it's fastest. Snakes. We have rattlesnakes, copperheads, coral snakes and the occasional cottonmouth, and they all love to lie in wait in tall grass. I'll let the pasture...

    News Disney Plus is getting a huge price hike and ad-supported tier - here’s how much you’ll pay now

    I had Disney+ and discontinued it. They do have a lot of brands included, but new content is extremely slow to add and very sparse. It's a far cry from Netflix that adds so much content even weekly at times. I know that Disney is (usually, but not always) a quality product, but I just can't...

    Is the E-Reader Dead?

    E-readers aren't dead! I use mine every day and I have passed my old ones on, converting others to the platform. I like the e-ink page to read. I get a headache trying to read on my PC, tablet or phone for long periods and there are too many opportunities for distraction. E-readers are...

    Chrome's Ad Blocker Is Here: How It Works

    Well poo! I was so excited to see an ad blocker for Chrome... but this is just an ad filter, like Facebook. I get so many spam ads on Facebook I have stopped using it. Especially because they *look* like a friend's post until you look closer. I don't like anything *predicting* what I may or...

    Project Fi Review: Seamless Wireless Service from Google

    I've been using Project fi for over a year and a half now and absolutely LOVE it! Previously I used a prepaid phone service on a Google phone and didn't want to get back on a contract with anyone just to have a phone. I was tired of the huge cost of monthly plans and being at a carrier's mercy...
