It’s one thing to have cheesy movie posters hanging on your walls in your teenage years, maybe even college, but your 1982 Blade Runner poster doesn’t exactly belong in your grown-up house or apartment. It’s a sad reality, we know, but grown-up living spaces deserve appropriate wall art and your typical movie poster just isn’t going to cut it. Lucky for you, designer Viktor Hertz has reinterpreted some favorites with clean black and white pictogram designs with clever visuals of the movie plots. We particularly like the Psycho version above, but the Jaws poster isn’t a bad choice either. The Pictogram Movie Posters ($24+) are available in three sizes and will be welcome additions to any film lover’s bare walls. Prints available range from classics like Rosemary’s Baby and Taxi Driver to newer films like Up In The Air and There Will Be Blood. A trio of three would make a nice art series that says two things. One: You are not a teenager anymore. Two: you like quality movies. Hang one or a few of these up and they will act as conversation starters at your next party instead of making your swanky apartment look like a 14-year-old’s nerd den.

Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home make up the three biggest smart home platforms on the planet. Google Home is popular thanks to its lineup of Nest products, which includes the Nest Hub Max, Nest Doorbell, and Nest Cam, along with many other devices. Best of all, Google Home supports a wide array of third-party products, giving users an easy way to link all their gadgets together and control them from one streamlined app.

But, as you'd expect, getting all these devices working seamlessly isn't always as easy as it sounds. The Google Home platform is also susceptible to the same issues as other smart home platforms, which include various connectivity hiccups and problems with voice commands. Solving these problems is usually pretty easy -- that is, once you know where to look.

Amazon Echo Show 10.

If you're looking to add a smart display to your home, the Amazon Echo Show is a great option. Bringing the best of Alexa into the visual realm, the Echo Show allows you to tap into real-time video from your home's smart security system, have video calls with friends and family using Alexa's Drop In feature, stream from Hulu and Prime Video, run photo slideshows, and so much more.

But glitches happen, and the Echo Show is not without its small trail of troubles. Fortunately, many of these issues have straightforward fixes. In this deep dive, we'll be taking a look at the most common Echo Show problems and how you can fix them.
Echo Show screen is flickering
This issue has been with the Echo Show since the first-generation model. What we're talking about are pulsating horizontal lines stretching across the screen. Sometimes, the malfunction appears closer to the bottom of the display, where Alexa's indicator is, or up and down the entire display. Some Echo Show owners experience this infrequently, others all the time. If your own Show is flickering, there are a few things you can try.
