This $12 accessory gave my Chromecast with Google TV a new lease on life

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-28 11:00:33

This design, while perfect for travel and keeping cable mess to a minimum, is rubbish for those who perhaps want a little more functionality. I wasn’t looking for everything and the kitchen sink when I purchased my Chromecast with Google TV, but rather a compact p

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today reported that Apple’s plans for touch screen Macs are advancing in the supply chain. He expects that the OLED MacBook Pro, due to go into production in late 2026, will also feature a touch screen panel. This schedule was first predicted by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman two years ago. It is currently unclear whether the OLED MacBook Pro will ship in 2026, or whether it will be an early 2027 release. Apple currently sells the M4 MacBook Pro lineup. Compared to where we

Nonstick cookware has its place in the kitchen, but its limitations should keep it from being your everyday pan. When used in the wrong situations, nonstick cookware can tank a recipe, leaving meat and vegetables without a proper sear. Some foods can damage the surface of your nonstick skillet, leading to a shorter lifespan or the release of nonstick materials into your food.
