We’re always on the lookout for TCL TV deals because TCL is one of the best TV brands on the market right now, especially when it comes to value. While not as revered as titans like Samsung, Sony, and LG, TCL has become a respected and reliable alternative to high-cost, big screen sets. And now you can find TCL TVs equipped with some of the best picture technology for 2024, including quantum dot-enriched LED lighting (that’s what the QLED acronym stands for). Oh, and guess what? Walmart has one of these awesome TCL sets on sale today:

It's not the latest model in this series, but the LG G3 OLED is an incredible television that has one of the best displays I've ever seen. The price tag may have been a little scary when it first came out, but you can now find it for $2,000 (Amazon says this is an $800 discount, while Best Buy says this is $300 off).

Google has a post up on its security blog that is half advertisement and half PSA-style announcement for Android users: go into your settings and turn off the "Allow 2G" toggle. This option, added in Android 12 back in 2021, does exactly what it sounds like: it turns off support for 2G cellular networking. Why would you want to do that? Because attackers are using the insecure 2G protocol to spoof phone numbers and send SMS spam.

I'm a big fan of Android smartphones with built-in thermal cameras, such as the awesome Ulefone Power Armor 18T. I also understand that some people just don't want to have to swap out their smartphones to get access to this useful superpower. Also: How I use this Android phone with...

Kate Jackson began her acting career as a silent ghost on TV's classic 1960s gothic daytime drama Dark Shadows but remains alive and well years after two horrific battles with breast cancer. Jackson went on to small screen prime-time stardom on police/detective/crime drama/comedies like The Rookies, Charlie's Angels, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and more. This is her triumphant story.

Few Swiss watch brands can rival Rolex’s iconic name. While other brands compete for second place among the most well-known and sought-after watches in the world, Rolex stands apart as the lone superior and reigns supreme as the king of watch manufacturers. There is a good reason the company uses a crown as its logo. How have they kept that title for so long? They are extremely good at creating limited editions that send the Rolex faithful into a frenzy, only to disappear and become the legendary rare finds that keep their consumers searching like Indiana Jones looking for lost treasure. One of the more recent and now most sought-after limited editions is the Rolex Submariner ref. 116610LV. Better known as the Rolex Hulk.

In my relatively brief time dealing with Android smartphones, I've only owned one device with an IR blaster, but in the two years that I had it, I absolutely loved it. I was able to turn down air conditioners, not bother about finding the TV's remote, and even control set-top boxes.

I’ve said before a few times that I own a power station and use it regularly down here in Florida. Besides the occasional power outage for whatever reason — come on, we all know it happens — Florida is also graced with some pretty extreme storms, not just hurricanes. It’s good to have a backup power solution handy because when the power goes out you never really know when it’s coming back, especially during a major event. A power station can keep your phones and devices powered up, for emergency calls or staying in touch with family, but also they can power bigger devices like small appliances. You could effectively cook food with the power out and keep your family fed, cool, and happy. The power station I own, specifically, is the EcoFlow DELTA 2, which is available for $100 off at Walmart. Usually $649, you can grab it today for $549. That’s an excellent deal, especially since when I got mine the regular price was over $1,000.

This is it Chief: The EcoFlow DELTA 2 is only $549 today — $100 off

Mercedes-Benz passenger vehicle roots go back to the first patented internal combustion engine installed in a wagon in 1886, but the company name wasn’t established until 1926. There are so many Mercedes models today that you might think the automaker’s lists include the originals, but that’s not the case.

Confused by Mercedes car model names? This will help.
