I changed 6 settings on my Samsung TV to give it a significant performance boost

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2026-03-08 06:09:19

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Say you recently picked up a shiny new TV. You unbox it like a kid at Christmas and prepare to indulge in all its visual glory. You think to yourself, "This is 2025. TV technology is sizzling, and it's going to look amazing no matter what." So you plug it in and don't take one look at the default settings. Big mistake. Also: Your car's USB port is seriously underutilized: 5 features you're not taking advantage of I've been guilty of it. And I'm okay with that because it's wide

ZDNET's key takeaways The magnetic USB-C connector now supports a 180-degree swivel, and it's only $12 at Amazon. It can pump out as much as 240W of power. I just wish it was suitable for data transferring or powering monitors. $15.99 at Amazon These handy 240W USB-C magnetic adapters are on sale for just $12 (with the added coupon) for one on Amazon.

Moor Studio/Getty With so much news about data breaches, you have to be careful not to panic each time you hear of a new one. Take the latest report of a major breach. In the headline for a recent story published by Cybernews, the cybersecurity media outlet said that 16 billion passwords were exposed in a record-breaking data breach, opening access to Facebook, Google, Apple, and any other service imaginable.

When is the best time to book your flight? Google just revealed its airfare secrets

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2026-03-08 08:00:13

Alexander Spatari/Getty Images The last time I booked a vacation flight, I literally spent over an hour finding the cheapest ticket to Hawaii with two criteria in mind: that it wasn't a red-eye flight, and it only had one layover. At least one layover was to be expected (at LAX) because Kentucky is a long way from the Aloha State. I could've saved some time, though -- and money -- had I known what Google's recent report revealed. Also: 7 gadgets I recommend for travel as a digital nomad What

When Humans Learned to Live Everywhere

news.ycombinator.com Carl Zimmer 2026-03-04 04:14:18

Geography is one of the things that sets apart modern humans. Our closest living relatives — chimpanzees and bonobos — are confined to a belt of Central African forests. But humans have spread across every continent, even remote islands. Our species can thrive not only in forests, but in grasslands, swamps, deserts and just about every other ecosystem dry land has to offer. In a study published on Wednesday, scientists pinpoint the origin of our extraordinary adaptability: Africa, about 70,000

If a messy desk is a sign of genius, I might be one of the smartest people out there. Everywhere I’ve worked, whether in an office or my own house, I’ve begun with the purest of intentions to keep my desk clean and clutter-free, only to weigh the time and energy cost of constantly putting things away just to pull them out again the next day.

P-Hacking in Startups
