Why I recommend this Garmin watch over competing Apple, Samsung, and Google models

Garmin Vivoactive 6 ZDNET's key takeaways The Garmin Vivoactive 6 is available in four colors for $300. The AMOLED display is brilliant, the available activity functions are comprehensive, and the battery lasts 5-11 days. There is no altimeter, the 30 minute smart alarm interval is a bit long, and it's a bit small for those with larger wrists.

This palm-recognizing smart lock left me wondering how I lived so long without it

TCL D1 Pro ZDNET's key takeaways The TCL D1 Pro smart lock is available for $170. This smart lock features some of the most reliable and fastest palm recognition technology I've tested, and it has a rechargeable battery instead of the standard replaceable batteries. The TCL D1 Pro's biggest downfall is the app, which is not user-friendly for customizing settings and feels outdated. $125.98 at Amazon Palm vein recognition is becoming quite popular among smart lock manufacturers, and the TCL D1

Samsung Smart Monitor M9 M90SF Review: The 4K OLED Hybrid

I don’t own a TV. That’s right, I’m a professional tech reviewer, and I’m still living like a millennial in my twenties. But a smart monitor—now, there’s something I could justify. A computer monitor is useless without a PC plugged into it, but that’s where smart monitors come in, offering a more versatile screen that is as much for work as it is for entertainment. Not until now have these smart monitors felt like proper TV replacements in terms of quality. The latest model from Samsung, the Sm

Kris Carlon / Android Authority TL;DR Study finds smartwatch stress scores often don’t match how you actually feel. Researchers tracked 800 Garmin users for three months and saw “basically zero” correlation for stress. Sleep tracking was more accurate, but better at logging hours slept than rest quality. They’re meant to be your health sidekick, you might suspect that there’s only so much that a wearable can tell you about your mental state from taking a pulse reading. If this wasn’t already

Apple’s ‘HomeKit’ brand could disappear in big new smart home push

Apple is gearing up for a new investment in the smart home that’s coming soon, and according to changes in the latest tvOS 26 beta, it seems part of that may be the replacing of the HomeKit brand with a fresh, unified name. ‘Apple Home’ looks set to be the new branding for smart home products and technology Rumors last fall indicated 2025 would be a big year for Apple and the smart home.

How to Protect Yourself From Portable Point-of-Sale Scams

Considering the widespread use of contactless payment systems, it's no surprise that portable point-of-sale thefts are making a comeback.

Hoto Snapbloq Tools Review: Attractive Power Tools

Google Maps sucks on unpaved roads, so I use this open source app instead

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-01 17:30:16

Andy Walker / Android Authority Google Maps was primarily designed for inner-city travel, where roads are well-marked and relatively smooth. I doubt the app’s developers envisioned users navigating gravel roads in the heartland of South Africa. So, it’s unsurprising that the app becomes far less useful once you hit the dirt. However, where Google Maps falls short, OsmAnd excels. OsmAnd is a free, open-source app on the Play Store and F-Droid. It draws data from various sources, primarily relyi

Framework Desktop Review: A Delightful Surprise

The Framework laptops did something no other laptop could. With the ability to upgrade or swap out nearly every internal component, they are sustainable, unlike any other. But the Framework Desktop isn’t so unique. After all, one of the primary reasons people buy (or build) desktop PCs is the ability to upgrade the system on their own.
