Nowadays, it is common to find phones equipped with OLED screens, since this technology has replaced LCD as the standard for smartphones, and it is normal to worry about their lifespan. Many people are still unsure about the quality of these new displays, as burn-in is a common problem on many older OLED panels and can affect their durability over time. In practice, OLED panels are now designed to have a lifespan of around 100,000 hours. This equates to just over 11 years of constant, all-day use. This is a dramatic improvement over the early days of the technology. For…
It’s important to get a protective case for your smartphone, even if it’s just a minimalist case that protects the back and sides from scratches, scrapes, and bumps. It can also provide shock absorption in the event of an accidental fall or impact. But what about a connected watch? You might not even know smartwatch cases exist, but they do. Designed to protect the perimeter of the watch and screen, there is a case (pun intended) to make for smartwatches. I had one for an old Apple Watch, even though I bought it after – and because – the screen…

In a brief filed today in its appeal of the antitrust ruling against its search business, Google says its long-standing deal with Apple reflects lawful competition, not anticompetitive exclusion. Here are the details.

Excerpt from Judge Amit Mehta’s conclusion: After carefully reviewing and evaluating the testimony and evidence, the court comes to the following conclusion: Google is a monopoly and it acted as such to maintain its monopoly.…

When Aqara initially launched the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro with HomeKit Secure Video support in 2025, it ended a long drought. I’ve had one outside for over a year now, and if you have a porch, it’s a great outdoor camera. Weekly HomeKit is a series focused on smart home accessories, automation tips and tricks, and everything related to Apple’s smart…
During the day and well into the night, people tend to stare at screens in one way or another, given how they have come to dominate every facet of life. Staring at a screen isn’t a problem in itself, but if you do it for too long, your eyes start to become dry, tired, or irritated. It can go beyond that, with red eyes, blurry vision, the onset of headaches, and even light sensitivity signaling one thing: digital eye strain (DES). One way to combat this problem is to switch the device, app, or website to dark mode. Light mode…
