Ring lights, whether sold as selfie or vlogging lights, all do the same thing. They produce a soft light to evenly illuminate subjects. They’ll work great for selfies, beauty shots and vlogging, providing flattering shadows and a ring-shaped reflection in the eye, but also for product and close up photography too. Lots of ring lights are designed to work on multiple devices, including cameras (we’ve covered these in our best ring lights guide)....

We’re such big fans of the Roku Streaming Stick 4K that we ranked it at the top of our list of the best streaming devices. Our Roku Streaming Stick 4K review describes it as “just as great as its predecessor,” as this new version adds Dolby Vision, which the older model didn’t have. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is a streaming device we strongly recommend even at full price. Now at a new all-time low, it’s a complete no-brainer....

Previously, Mando S3’s release window of next February was announced at the Star Wars Celebration Lucasfilm Showcase back in May. There was even an official tweet from The Mandalorian’s Twitter account (opens in new tab). Now, that same account (opens in new tab) has shared The Mandalorian season 3’s new March 1, 2023 release date. It’s accompanied by the (below) first look at Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Baby Yoda, whose real name is Grogu....

Based on the site’s report, the new CFI-1200 models of the PS5 weigh less than the original launch systems. The new all-digital edition PS5 weighs 7.4 pounds, while the standard PS5 with a disc drive now weighs 8.5 pounds. The launch PS5 digital and standard models weighed 8.6 and 9.9 pounds, respectively. To put things into perspective, the new standard PS5 weighs less than the original all-digital model. This is the second time Sony has reduced the weight of the PS5....

I’ll caveat this article by saying, like many others, I spent a small fortune on dumbbells, a workout step, a Pilates ball, and some resistance bands during the pandemic. Luckily, these days the best adjustable dumbbells and the best resistance bands have returned to their pre-pandemic prices, but if you don’t have the space or the budget for much equipment, shopping for the best ankle weights is a good option....

I’m talking about Google’s still-magical Recorder app, which we’ve praised in this space since Recorder debuted on the Pixel 4. I was reminded of just how good the Recorder experience is on a recent business trip — and how it promises to be even better now that Google is rolling out a new feature touted during October’s Pixel 7 launch. First, some background on the Recorder app that’s built into Google’s phones and downloadable from the Play Store (opens in new tab) for older Pixel models....

In fact, without the magical glow, your Christmas tree would probably look quite dull rather than dazzling. So why do we neglect the humble string lights? Admittedly, hanging up Christmas string lights has been my least favorite part of tree decoration. Not only are the lights be tricky to neatly wrap around the branches, but it’s time-consuming. No matter how many times I’d tried to create the perfect Christmas tree lighting, I would always end up being a tangled, unsightly mess....

The DreamCloud Hybrid is one of the best mattresses for restless sleepers. It also holds a top spot in our best hybrid mattress guide. It’s designed to offer constant pressure relief around your back, neck, and hips, and it regulates temperature so that you don’t overheat during sleep. Combined with a layer of breathable foam, the mattress dissipates body heat so that it doesn’t pool in the mattress. It isn’t a proper cooling mattress, but if you want a comfy, supportive and breathable hybrid for less than comparable models, it’s an excellent choice....

Normally the cost of charging an electric car at home would be entirely dependent on how much the power company charges you. While cheaper than gasoline, it can still be pretty pricey — especially with rising utility bills. Solar panels can offset that cost, and if you’re smart about it can ensure recharging your EV doesn’t cost you a penny. My parents have had solar panels on their house for several years now....

According to Cybernews, which made the discovery, the exposed database belongs to BeanVPN and contained more than 25 million records including user device and Play Service IDs, IP addresses, connection timestamps and other diagnostic information. While the ElasticSearch instance has since been secured, Cybernews security researcher Aras Nazarovas explained in a blog post (opens in new tab) what cybercriminals could do with the information it contained. “The information found in this database could be used to de-anonymize BeanVPN’s users and find their approximate location using geo-IP databases,” Nazarovas wrote....

I’m also someone who in the past years got more serious about addressing mental health. That has led to a better outlook on life with more productive coping strategies, but it also means an additional prescription, adding to the number of pills I’m required to gulp down on a daily basis. So you can imagine how I felt watching Apple’s iOS 16 preview when company executives got to the updated Health app and mentioned that a new Medications feature is coming in the fall along with the rest of the iOS 16....

U.K. shoppers can grab the Nokia 5710 XA right now for £74. It’s not available in the U.S., and there’s no release date given at this time. This is not the first Nokia phone built with music lovers in mind. The Nokia 5310 (opens in new tab) also included a built-in MP3 player and FM radio — sorry, no Spotify. But Nokia has never committed to the bit quite as fully as this....

Or, should I say, one “extra small” change. Among all the differences between AirPods Pro 2 vs. AirPods Pro, the addition of another ear tip size might seem minor. The first AirPods Pro offered three wing tip sizes: large, medium and small. Now, the second-gen model offers those options plus a new extra small set. Knowing how to use the AirPods Pro Ear Tip Fit Test, the small ear tips were deemed the right size for creating the best seal in my ear....

Spurs followed their win at Brighton on Saturday by overcoming Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 in the Champions League on Wednesday. They will go into the weekend in third place in the table, having only lost one game of the domestic season so far. Frank Lampard’s Everton have been in decent form in recent weeks. They battled to a draw in the Merseyside derby before securing wins against West Ham and Southampton....
