British pop songstress Natasha Bedingfield is back with a full album of infectious, uplifting pop hits, which is exactly what Bedingfield does best. Her first singles from the album, “Touch” and “Strip Me,” are both high-energy combinations of pop, rock, and euro club influences that showcase Bedingfield’s big voice, perfect for the discerning lover of pop music.


Sufjan Stevens – All Delighted People EP

While the digital download of this EP (which seems like a misnomer since it as long as a full-length album) was available months ago, the physical CD has just now been released and we want to make sure you’ve heard it. The indie master composer/folkie returned with this EP just before his epic latest release The Age of Adz. The EP is less electronic than Adz and has a few quiet moments, along with two versions of “All Delighted People” and 17-minute ode “Djohariah.”


Feist – Look At What The Light Did Now

Look At What The Light Did Now sees indie-pop and Apple princess Feist take fans into her creative process with a documentary DVD and a bonus CD featuring performances from the film and the unreleased song of the project’s same title. Two short films and the album’s corresponding music videos are also included in the set.

How to format the microSD card on Tapo security cameras
The Tapo C120 out in the rain.

One of the most compelling features of Tapo products (like the Wire-Free 2K Outdoor Cam and Indoor/Outdoor Cam) is support for local storage. Many Tapo security cameras let you install a microSD card, so you don't have to rely on cloud storage to save all your videos – instead, they're neatly stored right on your camera. Before you can start using local storage, however, you'll need to format your microSD card. Tapo has some pretty strict requirements for how this works, but the process itself is remarkably simple.

Ready to start saving all your video clips locally? Here's how to format the microSD card on your Tapo security camera.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?
The Ring Stick Up Cam Pro on display the 2023 Amazon Fall Devices and Services event.

The Blink Mini 2 is one of the cheapest security cameras you can buy. It's pretty well-rounded too. It's capable of filming in HD and offering support for outdoor use when paired with an optional accessory, making it a great choice for shoppers on a budget. That makes it wildly different from the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro, which carries a hefty price tag and supports both indoor and outdoor use right out of the box without the need to purchase a secondary accessory.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.
