I've been testing wireless earbuds since the earliest days, back when a German start-up named Bragi was making waves with its pioneering Dash earbuds, back when people on Twitter were openly skeptical about whether AirPods would actually be practical. During that 2015-2016 era, wireless earbuds came in all shapes and sizes — and also with a lot of compromises, like unstable connectivity, sub-par audio quality, etc.

Samsung Galaxy Book laptops are excellent, premium professional editing and video production machines. We rated the Galaxy Book 3 Pro quite highly and ranked it as the best lightweight laptop overall. This year, Samsung has unleashed a new generation called the Galaxy Book 4 series, consisting of four models in total. But if you're looking to buy a convertible model, the best place to start would be to compare two of the convertibles in the series to see which one offers better value.

Microsoft adds new features to Excel on a regular basis in order to continue engaging existing customers as well as attract more users. These enhancements often include new formulas, export capabilities, usability improvements, and more. Towards the end of each month, the company also publishes a changelog of all the new features it introduced in the past four weeks. Now, it has done the same for the month of February 2024.

We're witnessing the dawn of AI technology right now, and it's being integrated into various parts of our lives in ways we couldn't have imagined. It's true that AI was being used in some capacity in things like self-driving cars, voice assistants, and chatbots, but it wasn't as prevalent as today. It's one thing to have dedicated services like AI image generators. Still, it's completely different to have AI integrated directly into the products and services we use every day, like web browsers, many of which you may never have expected to become a reality.

The world of data is an interesting one, and at the deepest level of any file stored on your computer is a string of 1s and 0s in a specific pattern that forms the file that you're looking at. All files can be viewed as binary, and this data can then be interpreted and stored in a variety of creative ways. For example, you can represent this data using pixels in a video and you can chop the files and reconnect them together again at any point.

Despite plenty of open source and web app alternatives, Microsoft's software suites are still some of the most popular available today. In fact, over a billion people worldwide regularly use some sort of Microsoft product.

Who says getting into tech needs to be expensive? If you want to try your hand at making a little robot rover, today's your lucky day. Someone has designed a rover that runs on a Raspberry Pi Pico, and you can get started with it for as little as $16.

On many of the most popular Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, it's possible to log into your computer as a "root" user. The root user is one of the highest possible types of accounts you can use on any desktop or laptop that runs Linux. Consider it like the primary administrator. You'll get full administrative privileges on the entire system for editing configuration files and accomplishing other common tasks. It's not turned on by default, though, and will require some extra work. So, we're here to help with a look at how to unlock the root account and log in with it.

iPhones come in fixed storage configurations, with the most affordable versions offering lower storage. Even though the current generation iPhone 15 Pro starts at 128GB, many older generation iPhones start at 64GB. iOS itself takes up upwards of 10GB of storage. The only way you can ensure you don’t run out of storage on your great iPhone is either to opt for a higher storage capacity variant or buy an iCloud subscription with extra cloud storage space, which can set you back by $2.99 per month for a 200GB plan.
