If you’re ready to cut the cord, going full-streaming is the best option. You’ll want to keep an eye on the latest smart entertainment and streaming devices, too, or even Roku deals for one of the best plug-and-play smart home systems around.

Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, all those services are great but what if you want access to live TV? You can opt for a Sling subscription, or if you’re on the fence, you can give Sling Free a try. You get free access to thousands of movies and TV shows, and you don’t need a credit card, nor do you need to register. Check it out!

Sling now offers the Sling Free service, which is really no different than the premium subscription in regards to what you can watch. You get virtually the same experience with access to thousands of movies and TV shows. There’s no charge, no need to enter your payment information, and you don’t have to register — unless you want to.

At any time while using the service if you decide you do want to sign up for a subscription, or you want to take advantage of one of the upgrade packages, you can do just that. The point is you are under no obligation and it’s totally up to you. You won’t ever lose access to the free content available either. Some great shows in the lineup include American Dad, Chopped, Guy’s Grocery Games, Unsolved Mysteries, and much much more. There are a ton of hit movies, too, and even more if you subscribe later.

Normally about $35 to $50 a month, depending on the plan you choose and the number of devices you want to authorize, Sling TV Free is completely free to watch, use, and stream. You don’t get any DVR storage with the free model though, so you can’t save any shows or movies to watch later. It’s all live. You can, however, watch on a variety of devices, including your laptop, phone, or computer.

Stop joining group projects with a blurry laptop webcam and buy one of these instead
Your laptop webcam is sabotaging your first impression. These five can fix it
I'm holding my Logitech C920 1080p webcam in my hands.

The webcam built into your laptop might be good enough for a quick call with friends and family. But its shortcomings become much harder to ignore when you are presenting a semester project, interviewing for an internship, or maybe if you're planning to stream for fun.

Laptop cameras also tend to sit far too low, especially when the computer is placed directly on a desk. Meanwhile, a dedicated webcam lets you position the camera closer to eye level. This improves the framing and brings larger sensors, better microphones, and more effective low-light processing.

I desperately want a new classic Walkman, but Sony probably can’t give me one
Tech minimalism is begging for a new Walkman. Though rebuilding it may be close to impossible
Sony Walkman WM2011

Every few months, another piece of tech that seems obsolete crawls out of a drawer and becomes cool again. The age of minimalism has revived the popularity of iPods among younger buyers. Dumbphones have become an escape hatch from endless notifications. Similarly, digital cameras are dangling from bags again. Physical media keeps attracting people who want something they can actually hold instead of another frustrating subscription.

All of this makes it the perfect time for Sony to bring back the classic Walkman, which was a phenomenon during the 80s and 90s. I would love one. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones. Keep the apps, notifications, and algorithms that shape your taste of music. No more AI assistants or personalzied feeds, just you and your Walkman. There is only one problem though. Recreating the Walkman that people love and remember, would be far harder than putting an old design back into production.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim 
Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.
