Cloud backup is a necessary thing to have as you can’t always rely on local backup drives to protect your data. Even with an external drive hooked up to your PC or as a stand-alone backup device on your home network, it could still be stolen or damaged in a flood or fire, leaving you with nothing. This is why many small businesses utilize “off-site” backups to minimize the threat of physical disasters....

Though these machines provide many benefits, they can often come with the steepest price tags in the PC market. Lofty costs notwithstanding, owning a powerful gaming rig pays off in numerous ways. On top of experiencing games at blazing-fast frame rates and ultra-high resolution, these premium-priced computers can also handle graphic design, animation and streaming movies in 4K on your TV. Of course, you can also use them for everyday computing such as work....

Some gaming phones make a huge deal out of being a phone for gaming, with loud designs and unique features like additional controls and cooling methods. Some of the other phones on this list are general high-quality devices that will offer a more balanced experience, if your phone will be more than a gaming device. Whatever your needs are, these are the best gaming phones you can get right now....

At a glance, the tablets share many similarities. Both are roughly the same size and weight, feature 12MP cameras and even have identical storage configurations. The two tablets also share 10.9-inch Liquid Retina displays with a resolution of 2360 x 1640 and 500 nits. However, the new iPad’s display lacks several features you may not be aware of. As MacRumors (opens in new tab) reports, the new iPad doesn’t have an anti-reflective coating, which helps minimize glare....

You could even say “She-Hulk broke Disney Plus,” but then people are going to start asking about outages — which didn’t happen — and nobody wants that. What people do want, at least judging by the early reactions, is what She-Hulk’s finale delivered. So, below the spoiler warning, let’s break it all down. So, before you move onto thinking about the upcoming Marvel movies and shows we have on the agenda, let’s look at how the She-Hulk SMASH’ed our expectations....

The story follows 16-year-old Isabel “Belly” Conklin (Lola Tung), who is caught up in a love triangle with two brothers. She spends every summer at the beach with childhood pals Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), whose mom Susannah (Rachel) is best friends with her own mother Laurel (Jackie Chung). This particular summer, Belly joins the local debutante society and undergoes a bit of a glow-up — and the boys realize she’s grown up into an attractive young woman....

What ’90s kid wouldn’t? They’re like desktop PCs you can fold up and carry around with you, and when I was growing up that still seemed like futuristic sci-fi tech. I can remember my friends and I pulling an old one out of a pile of e-waste on the street when I was a kid and tinkering with it to try and get it running (no luck), and when my parents kindly gave me one for school I happily toted it through my college years....

This Hisense TV may not come with all the premium features you get with one of the best OLED TVs, but you’re still getting a solid TV at an excellent price. For starters, it comes packing a full 4K UHD display that offers strong colors and contrast. Plus, this is a QLED TV, using quantum dot technology to significantly boost picture performance while still maintaining an affordable price. And this Hisense 4K TV packs HDR, HDR 10 and HDR 10 Plus support to further enhance image quality....

In our Kindle Paperwhite review, we rated the Paperwhite as the best Kindle for most people, because of its smooth 300 ppi screen and a backlight to be able to read in the dark. As well as that, the fact that it’s waterproof is a great feature. You can also connect headphones or a speaker via Bluetooth, and listen along to audiobooks from Audible while you read. The current sale going on means that the 32GB Paperwhite is the same price as the original Kindle, so it’s a no-brainer to go for the higher screen resolution and the great backlight....

The workout, created by Caroline Girvan — a personal trainer with over 2 million subscribers on YouTube, uses compound exercises to work the body hard. A compound exercise is one that targets more than one muscle group at a time, for example, a squat, or a deadlift. There are 20 different exercises, none of which repeat, so you can put your all in knowing you won’t have to do another circuit later in the workout....

There’s a new color coming to the Galaxy S22 lineup and — depending on how you feel about the shade Samsung’s settled on — a rather milquetoast one. Named Bora Purple, this deceptively illustrious title is basically just a light lavender, not a deep, rich purple that would look oh so amazing on a phone. The Galaxy S22’s new coat of paint might look a tad familiar if you’ve paid attention to some of the iPhone 14 rumors and leaks....

This lowest-price ever deal can also be found at Best Buy (opens in new tab) and Walmart (opens in new tab). We’re huge fans of the JBL Flip 5 at Tom’s Guide, and while it doesn’t quite make our ranking of the best Bluetooth speakers you can buy, it’s still a worthwhile pickup. In our JBL Flip 5 review, we said, “Thanks to above-average sound in a small package, the JBL Flip 5 remains one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers” and that remains true more than a year on from its initial launch....

Given the squeeze on inventory for everything from PS5 restocks to the best electric cars, cynics wondered if this would be the first delay of many. Not so, says Valve, which states that the February timeline is “on track” — albeit with a pretty significant caveat. “First and foremost, we’re on track to ship Steam Deck on time,” the company wrote in a blog post (opens in new tab). “Global pandemic, supply issues, and shipping issues notwithstanding, it looks like we’ll be able to start getting these out the door by the end of February,” the post continues....

It comes down to what’s most important to you. Do you want an easy-to-use operating system, or one that provides greater flexibility? Is security a priority? What about interoperability with other systems? All of these questions are important in figuring out if Windows or macOS is better for you. Below, we’ll go over the most important features of Windows 11 and macOS Ventura, the two latest iterations of these titanic operating systems....

Xbox Cloud Gaming already works pretty well on non-gaming PCs — with one major caveat. Even though you can load up your favorite games anywhere you get a stable broadband connection, you can’t play them unless you have a controller. That could all change soon, as we learned from a recent Microsoft presentation. Morgan Brown, a Microsoft software engineer, explained the proposition in a presentation entitled “Xbox Game Streaming: Reducing Latency and Optimizing for the Best Mobile Experiences (opens in new tab)....

Yellowstone has become one of the biggest shows on television. The season 4 finale ratings hit a new series high with 9.3 million total viewers in Live+Same Day. The explosion in viewership led to the Yellowstone prequel 1883 on Paramount Plus, as well as another planned spinoff, 6666. The mix of complicated family dynamics and business has led some to liken Yellowstone to “Succession on a ranch” (though resulting in fewer memes)....

For instance, right now you can get the HP Envy 13-inch 2-in-1 laptop on sale for $649 at Best Buy (opens in new tab). That’s $400 off on a surprisingly powerful laptop with some great features — including the ability to fold into a tablet. It’s one of the best Cyber Monday laptop deals we’ve seen. The HP Envy 13 will do most anything. It can’t game, at least not outside of streaming games via Xbox Game Pass, but short of that, it has everything you need....

Not only has iJustine had a front seat to the evolution and expansion of the smartphone market, she’s brought her now-7 million subscribers on YouTube along the ride. And while the channel’s content spans cooking gadgets, cars, gaming, lightsaber training and, quite recently, pet tech (opens in new tab), smartphone unboxings and first impressions remain what many enjoy to see from the bubbly creator. At the time of this writing, iJustine’s iPhone 13 series unboxing has 1....
