View this email in your browser 'Extra dim': Why your Google Pixel phone's outdoor brightness probably sucks and how to fix it I don’t go outside often, but when I do, I make sure to enjoy some sun. Unfortunately, my Pixel 6 Pro can’t exactly do the same, and often looks pretty dark in direct sunlight. It’s really not that great at outdoor viewing to begin with, but I realized something today that I keep doing and […] Read More Lenovo Slim 3: this is the best Chromebook to buy under $150 When it comes to great Chromebooks, there are usually two schools of thought: build the best overall device regardless of price, and get the best bang for your buck. Of those two, the Chromebook we’re talking about today definitely falls in the latter category, and for just $149 right now, you can snag the wildly-good […] Read More Google Play Books gets AI-powered recommendations, and yes, it's awesome I often go on small little hunts through all of Google’s services looking for new and exciting features. One of my favorite apps in the company’s entire ecosystem is Google Play Books. Last night, I noticed a new red dot at the top right of the web app interface overlaying the cogwheels icon for the […] Read More Chrome's upcoming 'Save video frame as…' feature for YouTube will be awesome If you read that headline and thought to yourself – haven’t I recently heard about this already? – you are not alone.

Goodbye, blue light This feature is a halogen screen […] Read More Don't miss this deal on the new Fitbit Charge 6 for just $99.95 Just this week I wrote a post outlining why the Fitbit Charge 6 was filled with potential as a possible smartwatch replacement for me and why, in the end, I went back to my Galaxy Watch 5. I hope I communicated clearly in that post that even though the Charge 6 didn’t quite work out […] Read More How to edit video like a pro with CapCut Online [VIDEO] We get asked a lot about editing video on Chromebooks.
