If you frequently switch between a dedicated e-reader and a smartphone app, you’ve probably come across one of the most annoying software problems for e-readers: sync issues. For years, moving from a Kobo e-reader to the mobile app—or the other way around—often meant manually turning pages to find where you left off, since bookmarks wouldn’t update properly. But now, Rakuten Kobo has completely rebuilt the entire bookmarking and progress syncing system from the ground up, removing the outdated syncing framework in place since the company’s earliest days of making ereaders. Related Kobo and StoryGraph are now synced, and book lovers…

3 Body Problem is one of the best sci-fi series on Netflix right now, an ambitious story of alien invasion based on a celebrated trilogy of books.

I stumbled across a website recently that looked vaguely like Google Earth after somebody had turned the globe into a giant radio dial. Google Earth has become its own rabbit hole for exploring places, but this version of the idea covered the planet in little green dots, and picking one pulled in a live broadcast from that part of the world That was enough to keep me exploring. I jumped between cities I knew, places I’d never visited, and a few locations I had to zoom in just to identify. The clever part is how little instruction any of it…

There’s never a bad time to start streaming a slow-burning thriller; there are many to choose from, including new series and older ones. Here are some great ones. Untamed (2025-present) Stream Untamed on Netflix In many respects, Netflix’s Untamed is a typical murder mystery, characterized by a clear beginning and ending. And yet, with the majestic Yosemite National Park as its backdrop, it’s more than that, since the park’s iconic granite monolith, El Capitan, plays a central role throughout. The series, which stars Eric Bana as a special agent for the National Parks Service, is highly character-driven with an emphasis…

I have a confession to make. I’m not overly excited at the prospect of being able to see a spreadsheet on one side of a foldable phone’s inner screen and email on the other. Actually, it would probably be more of a confession to admit that’s what I do want. Anyway, Office Productivity™ has so often been the starting point for these devices. Now you, too, can be Ultimate Tech Bro and do two boring tasks at once! Bleh. Fortunately, while Apple’s keynote this week was oddly stiff and clinical, the company still remembered it was Apple. So with the iPhone Duo, sure, it showed…

With enough force, almost every phone can fold in half – not even the best phones are immune to brute strength. But only a few can do it without suffering terminal damage. From retro revivals to cutting-edge clamshells, the best flip phones combine a flexible internal display with a secondary outer screen for the perfect blend of pocketability and top-tier hardware. By hiding a larger screen on the inside, flip phones are half the size of a traditional smartphone. Their outer screens are getting smarter and smarter, too, saving you from constantly flipping the thing open to read notifications, reply…
