Nothing beats getting cozy under a heated blanket -- whether watching TV, working from home or curling up in bed.

Plus, getting one now will also have you prepped and ready when winter rolls back around. What to look for in a heated blanket After you've scoured the internet for electric blankets, there are a few thin

The default TV setting you should turn off immediately - and why experts recommend it

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2025-09-12 19:38:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET For many people, motion smoothing on TVs is only appropriate for gaming and watching live sports; enthusiasts typically prefer turning off the feature to watch anything else because it can detract from the filmmaker's original intent, making on-screen images seem artificial or hyper-realistic. This is what's called the "soap opera effect." Also: How to disable ACR on your TV (and why doing so makes such a big difference) It's a perfectly descriptive metaphor that probably requ

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2025-09-13 05:00:13

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Did you know that whenever you turn on your smart TV, you invite an unseen guest to watch it with you? These days, most popular TV models utilize automatic content recognition (ACR), a form of ad surveillance technology that gathers information about everything you watch and transmits it to a centralized database. Manufacturers then use your data to identify your viewing preferences, enabling them to deliver highly targeted ads. Also: Don't cancel Netflix yet: I used these sec

Last month, a leaked document showed the State Department had crafted a new standard for reviewing the social media accounts of any foreign students planning to attend or even visit Harvard University. Legal immigrants may have benefits denied based on social media activity, and people expressing opinions or acting contrary to Trump are being detained a

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's Galaxy smartphones are some of the best Android phones available today, thanks to their responsive and feature-rich software. But most Samsung phones -- especially the flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Z Flip 6 -- come with over-the-top features that you might not use daily.

Kerry Wan/ZDNET With the way we use our iPhones these days, it can be hard to make it through a single day on a full charge. A few FaceTime calls, some text messaging, and opening Maps a few times, and you could already be 25% down. If you've experienced this problem, you're not alone. These phones can be very power-hungry -- even the more affordable iPhone SE 4 has battery issues. The problem is made worse by all the different apps, features, and settings vying for battery life.
