One of my favorite things to do around the holidays is host friends and family at my home for movie nights. And while sometimes we'll pick a film to watch that everyone is familiar with, more often than not, I like to take these impromptu movie nights as an opportunity to share a hidden gem that most of my guests haven't seen.

Looking back at 2025, if there's one tech rumor I wish had come true, it's that Apple released a new Apple TV 4K. The current third-generation Apple TV 4K launched back in 2022, and throughout the year, rumors suggested a refresh was finally on the way. First, it was expected to debut at Apple's iPhone event, then possibly in October, and then later in November.

Whether it's for business or pleasure, travel often feels demanding, especially navigating crowded airports, keeping track of documents, and trying to avoid extra costs. Modern travel tech helps streamline these steps, offering simple tools that reduce stress and prepare you for the unexpected. Connectivity plays a major role here, as most travel apps rely on a steady data connection to work properly. This is where eSIM services come into play. They support instant mobile internet abroad without physical SIM cards or unpredictable roaming fees.

I often take screenshots of webpages and the Windows apps I test for work, and sometimes need to record my screen for instructional videos. Until recently, the built-in Windows Snipping Tool was my go-to app because it's a useful Windows 11 feature that gets the job done with basic screen capture and recording.

Viewing PDF files in my browser or with Acrobat Reader is a piece of cake, but editing them is always an issue. I either have to pay for software I'll hardly use or scour the internet for sketchy PDF converter websites with questionable functionality.

I'm a big believer in doing things efficiently, no matter how big your budget is for a project. One of my main hobbies is weightlifting, for example, and I don't bother with most supplements -- I find that caffeine, creatine, and whey powder are all I need. Similarly, while I love riding PEVs, I'd rather invest in a rugged and reliable one than something with a lot of frivolous add-ons.

Ads are everywhere on streaming services as companies come to realize that the old cable model of selling commercial space to make money was actually a pretty good model. For consumers and subscribers, it means higher prices and more advertisements before, during, and after titles. Even if you pay more money to go ad-free, you're still likely to see sponsored content or recommendations from the streamer that are simply ads in disguise.

I've covered a few of dbrand's Killswitch cases at this point, including one designed for the original ROG Ally X and another created for the Switch 2. They're always arguably a bit overpriced, but in some sense, you get what you pay for. They offer all-around protection that includes the front, back, and sides of the console, alongside a travel cover and skins that cover its front.
