Merge Img/Getty Images Computer monitors allow you to expand your workstation, gaming station or viewing space by connecting to laptops, PCs or gaming consoles. You can use a single monitor or connect several for a larger area with access to multiple programs, documents and files. One of the downsides of computer monitors is that they consume a lot of power. So much so that there are regulations in place to indicate the effectiveness of monitors in energy usage and saving. Monitors constantly emit light when in use, causing them to…

Thaspol Sangsee/Shutterstock Google is the undisputed king of online search, with an 85% market share in the United States as of May 2026, according to Statcounter. Still, there’s a growing tide of discontent around Google Search, with alternatives like DuckDuckGo showing significant usage increases in recent weeks, shortly after Google’s I/O 2026 event, where the company unveiled its latest AI innovations. The renewed interest in DuckDuckGo is not accidental, as Google announced a major AI-centric overhaul of Google Search at the event, billing it as the biggest change to Google…
Studio 9dream/Shutterstock MacBooks have become the computer of choice for those looking for productive laptops for content creation and everyday work at home and in the office. There are few laptops lighter than a MacBook Air, and even fewer computers more powerful than the MacBook Pro for productivity tasks. However, even though Apple dominates the market, MacBooks are still missing an important feature in 2026: touchscreens. It doesn’t make much sense to miss out on a feature that most of your competitors are building into their devices, so why is…
One of Disney World’s newest attractions isn’t a ride or a hotel, but a nearly 6-foot-tall marble statue of Grumpy from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Made from Carrara marble, the statue was constructed by Walt Disney Imagineering’s AI-powered stonemason robot, and it is positioned on Disney’s 18-hole Magnolia Golf Course in what it calls “Grumpy’s Gauntlet” — the most difficult stretch consisting of holes 14 through 17. The sculpture depicts Grumpy scowling while holding a broken golf club with one of his lines from the film, “Note my words, there are problems…

The advent of the Amazon Fire TV remote and other similar gadgets is one of the main reasons why universal remotes simply aren’t necessary anymore. With just one remote, you can control more than just your Fire TV streaming device. In fact, the latest Fire TV remote model lets you pair it with select Amazon Fire TV smart TVs, third-party smart TVs that come with a built-in Fire TV, and even your Echo Show. This convenience, however, comes at a price. Just like many…
Tony Dunn/Shutterstock The funny thing about nostalgia is that you don’t have to have lived through a particular period to feel nostalgic about it. For example, the 1960s had a very distinct vibe when it came to technology, with thick, bulky devices instead of the streamlined gadgets everyone is familiar with today. Whether you grew up during this era or heard about it from an older friend or relative, you can experience that classic vibe through specially designed smartphone accessories like stands, speakers, and handsets. Whether it’s square tube TVs…

I feel like every year I go to CES to check out all the weird gadgets and get the full talk from dozens of companies on the latest and greatest smart home innovations. Some of them become essential smart home gadgets and revolutionize the industry, while others never really hit the market. Then there are the gadgets that arrive and find a devoted user…
Jakub Zerdzicki/Shutterstock If you have recently acquired a 3D printer or are considering purchasing one, its power consumption is often a major concern. This becomes even more important if you’re dealing with prints that take five to ten hours or more. Since 3D printing is a relatively new technology and its widespread adoption is even newer, many are unsure of exactly how much electricity a 3D printer consumes. But as surprising as it may seem, running a 3D printer for hours on end won’t burn a hole in your pocket.…
José Adorno/BGR Apple MacBooks are made to last. That’s something any customer who spends money on the company’s computers can say. I bought my first MacBook Pro in 2010 and it was my daily driver until 2017 until Apple released the second generation MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. With the general lifespan of a MacBook Pro being around seven to ten years, depending on how you take care of it, you’d be surprised to learn that even the MacBook Air isn’t far behind. The main difference is that Apple generally…
