I lowered my electric bill by changing these 5 TV settings - here's how you can, too

Adam Breeden/ZDNET Did you know that a modern TV uses significantly less energy than a TV that's a decade old? Maybe that shouldn't be a surprise, considering how much more power-efficient today's display panels are. According to Perch Energy, the average power consumption of an old TV runs around $54 per year in energy costs. Because LED-backlit TVs and OLEDs consume less power than traditional LCD screens, newer models cost about $32 annually. Also: How to clear your TV cache (and why you sh

Backyard Coffee and Jazz in Kyoto, Japan

One of the things I read about while getting ready for our vacation in Japan were these famous tiny businesses: bars or izakayas with four seats, narrow little bookstores or record shops in people’s houses or the bottom floors of small buildings, hyper-specialized or themed bars owned by one passionate guy. (There’s one that’s chock-full of Star Wars memorabilia, for example.) We got to visit a couple of such places, and saw many more from the street. I’m planning to write a longer, more themat

On starting The Mix and finding diverse funding sources for indies | Justin Woodward

Justin Woodward started out as one of the small cogs in the big wheel of the game industry. He studied game art and design in college. Then he got a job at a triple-A game company as a 3D background artist. But he decided he would rather be a game designer instead of being one among many 3D artists. He started his own graphic design studio, doing tasks like logo design that could connect him with entrepreneurs. He learned how to fund projects and create businesses. He went on to create an indie

It’s a Chromebook thing: Hands-on with new ChromeOS AI features

Ryan Haines / Android Authority As an elder member of Gen-Z, every screen in my life has its purpose. My small screen (my phone) is there for personal communication, ordering food, and mindlessly scrolling memes on the internet. My big screen (my TV) takes on the role of in-home entertainment, whether it’s a giant Spotify hub, a way to keep up with the Club World Cup, or endlessly streaming reruns of Letterkenny. Left in the mushy middle between the two, however, is room for a medium screen, l

This Linux distro routes all your traffic through the Tor network - and it's my new favorite for privacy

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Privacy has become a keystone for keeping your information safe and preventing third parties from creating consumer profiles that could then be used for targeted marketing... or worse. To that end, there are countless products and services that promise to keep you and your information private. Some work, and some are nothing but snake oil. For me, the best route to privacy goes through Linux and one of the many privacy-focused distributions. Recently

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's One UI 7 is my favorite Android skin right now. It is fast, responsive, and intuitive. But nothing comes fine-tuned to your experience straight out of the box.

How MacOS Tahoe's killer new feature could make Docker feel obsolete

Apple / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Apple has a lot of fancy new tricks up its sleeve for the next iteration of MacOS. There's the new UI (glassy and classy), the extra AI bits, performance improvements, and more. But there's one new feature that may or may not interest the average user. That feature is all about containers. Think of containers like this: an isolated, lightweight package that contains the application code, dependencies, and libraries necessary to run in an isolated environme

Backlash to artificial dye grows as Kraft ditches coloring for Kool-Aid, Jell-O

Kraft Heinz promised Tuesday to purge certain artificial food dyes from its products by the end of 2027, a move that follows pressure from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to excise color additives from the nation’s food supply because of potential health risks. The company said it will replace food, drug and cosmetic (FD&C) dyes with natural versions when possible; create new colors and shades, if necessary; or simply remove colors. Nearly 90 percent of Kraft Heinz prod

The New OceanGate Doc Hit Netflix's Top 10, but There's Another Titan Doc You Should See

Every week, Netflix unveils its Top 10 lists for the week before, ranking TV shows and movies by viewership. Netflix's Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster was the no. 2 film on Netflix's Top 10 the week of June 9, but the documentary about the deadly 2023 Titan submersible implosion isn't the only film about the catastrophic undersea tragedy.

Google adds AI features to Chromebook Plus devices

Google’s adding a slew of AI features to its productivity-focused Chromebook Plus line of devices, including a screen selection tool for search and text capture, a tool that explains complex text, and NotebookLM.

The Download: the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s first pictures, and reframing privacy

The first spectacular images taken by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have been released for the world to peruse: a panoply of iridescent galaxies and shimmering nebulas.

And thanks to its unparalleled technical prowess, few doubted its ability to make good on that. Bu

My Apple Watch band gave out before year two - and it could've been bad

The weak link! Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET My Apple Watch Ultra 2 is, as of today, 626 days old, and apart from charging, it has been on my wrist pretty much continuously. It's accompanied me on many an adventure, been in several countries, found itself deep inside loads of car engine bays, been covered in dirt and mud, and it still looks like new. Regular readers will have seen it in countless photos here on ZDNET. But the other day, something broke, and while it wasn't serious, it could ha

Bandwidth vs. Latency: We Chatted With an Internet Connectivity Expert to Understand the Difference

Having fast, reliable home internet is essential these days for work, school, streaming and browsing. But understanding how much speed you need, or even what "internet speed" even means, can be a daunting task. Bandwidth and latency are two key factors that affect how we perceive the speed of our internet connection. But while you may hear them used together quite often, these two terms have distinct meanings. Understanding what they are and the difference between them can help you troubleshoot

Tesla robotaxis launch in Austin with $4.20 invite-only service and human "safety monitors"

What just happened? Tesla's long-awaited robotaxi service finally launched yesterday (June 23) in Austin, Texas. So far, it has been limited to invited participants and not the general public, and passengers aren't alone in the vehicles; Tesla's "safety monitors" sit in the front passenger seat ready to take over if something goes wrong – despite Elon Musk promising the service would launch unsupervised. Musk's "tentatively, June 22" response early this month to an X user's question about when

OnePlus 15 leak shows why the Galaxy S26 series urgently needs silicon-carbon batteries

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The OnePlus 15 will apparently have a 7,000mAh or higher battery. That means the upcoming phone could have a much bigger battery than the Galaxy S25 series. The phone is also tipped to arrive with a ‘SuperBlack’ color option that could make it look like a “black hole.” We thought the OnePlus 13 was one of the best Android phones of 2025, but OnePlus is undoubtedly hard at work on the follow-up. We’ve already seen a few apparent OnePlus 15 leaks, and it lo

OnePlus 13 vs Pixel vs Galaxy: The camera shootout you need to see

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’ve used some brilliant camera phones this year, and now it’s the OnePlus 13’s turn to come across my desk. I’ll let you in on a secret; I’ve been using the OPPO Find X8 Pro as my daily driver for some time now — largely because of its brilliant quad-camera array. But what excites me about the OnePlus 13 is that it shares virtually the same setup, minus the 6x optical zoom camera. It still retains the 3x lens for longer range shots and the camera software tool
