I’ve Used T-Mobile’s 5G Home Internet for 3 Years: Here’s What I Love and What I Hate

Albuquerque, New Mexico: home of green chiles, 300 days of sunshine, the International Balloon Fiesta... and achingly slow internet.

Don't cancel Netflix yet: I used these secret codes to unlock shows I didn't know existed

Adam Breeden/ZDNET Netflix wasn't the first streaming platform, but it was the first to make video-on-demand mainstream. Fourteen years ago, as it phased out its mailing service, it took a massive bite out of the global market. Also: This 30-second fix made my Roku TV run like new again (and why it works) Remember that? Physical DVDs showing up in your actual mailbox -- the one at the end of your driveway (or your hallway)?
