If you bought a TV since roughly 2020, there’s a good chance it boasts “4K resolution.” A 4K TV has been the standard for a while now, but what does it actually mean? Are all 4K TVs created equally? What came before 4K? What the heck is 8K, and do you need it? The TV […]
You’re likely aware that most apps you use log your activities—it’s why you can get recommendations on Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, and everything else.

A dual-monitor setup can offer a boost to your productivity.
