Over the years, people have often considered apps and websites to be two totally different things. In some cases they certainly are, but in other cases they can be one in the same for the most part.
So I don’t really have a set plan for this post, I’ve usually at least got some notes that I like to go off when writing these articles, but this one is going to be off the cuff. For this post I want to talk about this concept of a “digital home” that I’ve been thinking about for a while.
Apple originally released their Sports app back in February of 2024 after it had been rumored a bit, but there was no real enthusiasm behind it. Safe to say this app came out to a rather…confused audience. Nobody was really sure why the app was created; it kinda took some stuff out of the News and TV apps, but also not really.
So I’ve never been very interested in Android as a platform (this may not surprise many of you). Honestly I find this rather odd, because I really like to have a hand in as many platforms as possible (I have a Mac, an iPad, a Windows PC, and a Linux machine (Pop!_OS, of course)). I also have an Xbox (no Playstation, though). The point being: I like to try out a ton of different tech, but I haven’t been as interested in Android as a platform personally.

In today’s world we have some kind of login information for just about every site we visit frequently. From our email accounts, banking accounts, credit card accounts and so much more. It can be tough to memorize each and every password for each different site, especially since it’s never recommended to use the same password for more than one site.
Ever wish you could bolt down your iPhone or iPad charger to an outlet so it doesn’t walk away? A neat little accessory lets you do just that, so we tested it out to see how it works. Read on for a hands-on look at the Lock Socket for iPhone and iPad chargers.
A few weeks ago, I randomly got an email from a public relations company representing Wolfbox products and listed in the email was the Wolfbox 2nd Generation Dual Zone Car Fridge. I decided to reply to the email in hopes of getting one to review, and much to my surprise, they replied almost instantly stating they would send me one over.
SBCs, or single-board computers, are tiny but relatively powerful and capable mini-computers, with all the important parts built into and around a single circuit board – including the CPU, RAM, Bluetooth and WiFi support, and even USB and video-out/HDMI ports.
