Streaming services are getting more expensive all the time, with Netflix raising its prices again just this past March. It’s getting to the point where it doesn’t make sense to keep up with all of these subscriptions. Happily, there are plenty of free streaming services out there that make better-than-expected substitutes. That includes Tubi, the best free streaming service you’re not using. Full disclosure: there is a lot of chaff to sort through on these services; when the price is free, sometimes you get what you pay for. But there’s also a lot of high-quality stuff if you know where…
HBO is working on a new TV show based on J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter book series, about a kid who lives an unhappy life with his cruel aunt and uncle until he finds out he’s a wizard and gets whisked away to a magical boarding school where he makes friends, develops his powers, and even saves the world. The Harry Potter books are the most successful novels of the 21st century. The movies based on the books, which came out between 2001 and 2011, are modern classics. And that’s not even getting into other off-shoots like the stage show, the…
A while back, I asked Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to build a solar system simulator. This was back when Claude was the talk of the town, and more people, myself included, were realizing that maybe they shouldn’t limit themselves to ChatGPT. That test produced one of the clearest results I’ve had. Claude knocked it out of the park and won decisively. Gemini produced working but not especially impressive code, and, interestingly, ChatGPT failed. Today, I decided to test a different parameter. This time, instead of writing code, I tasked the LLMs with debugging code. Specifically, I asked them to fix…
Android TV is great when you’re just watching something. The moment you try to manage it, though, things become slightly clunky. You have to rely on the boring remote to navigate a layered interface, which feels annoyingly slow. Also, things like sideloading apps, moving files, and even taking a simple screenshot aren’t as direct as you’d expect. atvTools solves this exact problem. Instead of interacting with your Android TV’s interface, it lets you manage it directly from your phone, where everything feels faster and more intuitive. Setting up atvTools on your phone is as easy as it gets. Simply download…
Dolby Atmos is the way to go if you want a totally immersive experience with your music playlists and/or movie soundtracks. The 3D surround sound technology adds both height and depth to audio such that, with the right setup, source device, and content, you can feel the sounds all around you, not just in front, behind, and at the sides. It’s no wonder, then, that Dolby Atmos is the go-to choice whenever available. You can truly feel like you’re right there at a concert, or in the action during an intense thriller movie. The same experience can be had for…
Vibe coding is moving projects at a breakneck pace for everyone, whether they’re seasoned programmers or just starting out. But it comes with a catch. AI-generated code isn’t always the better option, and more importantly, it’s not necessarily safe, especially when you’re using it to develop a vehicle control system. There are tasks you shouldn’t use ChatGPT for, but it’s still reasonably good at vibe coding. So when ChatGPT refused to help me vibe-code an electronic cruise-control module for my motorcycle, I started wondering why. And the reasons it gave me led me somewhere much better. The project I thought…
Ever since it first started airing on Hulu (and Disney+) in February, Love Story has been one of the most talked-about dramas on the platform. And why not? It’s about the romance between John F. Kennedy Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly) and Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon) in the 1990s, a romance that still lingers in the American imagination. Who doesn’t love watching the imagined intimate moments of the rich and famous? While that can be fun, there’s also a time for romance that’s a bit more…normal. Normal People is the best romantic drama on Hulu An achingly quiet story Normal People…
If you’ve gone to a store lately, you may have noticed that TVs are getting cheaper and cheaper every day. Massive screens, 4K resolution, and plenty of features for a fraction of the price they used to be. But once you’ve invested in a beautiful set, there may be a feature that is typically off by default that can make that investment even better. Better refresh rates, HDR, and potentially even Dolby Vision, better color depth, and so much more could be hidden away because of a simple setting that might just need to be turned on. One setting, many…
Technology should be simple. It is rarely easy and that isn’t a surprise. But when you hand the controls over to the technology, you’d assume it would make the smartest decisions, right? I could be talking about using a chatbot or LLM to answer questions. Sometimes they get it right and sometimes they get it wrong. I could also be talking about needing to connect multiple hubs just to connect one smart home device to another. There are easier ways around this, but certain devices make it more difficult than others. But what I’m really referring to is ensuring your…
Summary Claude’s US market share more than doubled in March and has tripled since January. ChatGPT still dominates (~68% US share, according to Statcounter) but lost about 7% in March as rivals gained ground. Many users switched to Claude after controversy around OpenAI’s government deal. Early in March 2026, we saw something remarkable happen in the AI landscape. Following the announcement of OpenAI’s deal with the US government, Anthropic’s Claude chatbot saw a huge surge in both press and app downloads. Users called for abandoning ChatGPT in favor of Claude. Now, with March market share numbers available (via Statcounter), it’s…
