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.

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.

Amazon's Fire TV Sticks come loaded with a variety of features that differ by model. For instance, the 4K Max and 4K Plus support all HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG, while the 4K Select and HD models do not support Dolby Vision. All Fire TV Sticks also offer some form of cloud gaming: the HD supports Amazon Luna, whereas the 4K Select, 4K Plus, and 4K Max support both Luna and Xbox Game Pass.

I've always been big on AR and VR. When I was growing up, the main thing I was obsessed with in PC gaming was immersion -- I wanted games to fully simulate another reality and take me there. If I'd somehow had the budget as a teenager, I would've bought one of those full cockpit simulators for the space and flight sims I was into.

If you use the YouTube app on your TV often, you might notice a surprise the next time you open it.
