ATSC 3.0 is better than you think, but it's failing for 4 ridiculous reasons (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are many people who still value and embrace local TV broadcasting—I'm one of them, even though I love streaming services. I'd love all the amazing benefits ATSC 3.0 provides in my area, but I also like the nostalgia of turning on the TV, seeing what is on, and choosing what I want to watch for free. The biggest use I get from local TV is my local sports games and news without paying $65 to $100 a month to view them on Hulu or YouTube, or another streaming service. You can also subscribe to
I ditched my news subscriptions after finding this buried Google feature (opens the original)

HDDs are definitely not dead yet, especially since so many PCs and laptops still have them. Because they are so affordable, they still hold value, and people actually purchase them. HDDs are also useful for NAS setups and archiving or backing up data. Some last longer than others based on design and use, yet many can fail for any reason at any time. Velcro is one potential way to help prolong their life, helping you get years of use out of them… and your money's worth. By creating an account, yo
Why Netflix remains the streaming giant 19 years after inventing the category (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many streaming platforms have evolved over the years, especially since almost every studio wants a stake in the market. It began with YouTube, which offered free streaming of public videos, followed by Amazon Prime digital rentals, and then Netflix adding streaming movies and shows to its DVD rental service in 2007.
