Technology has come a long way since flip phones. These days, devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 and the Motorola Razr truly put the years past in perspective.

Banning Huawei from being used at carriers globally was the only way to stop them.You've read a million different articles about how the ban on Huawei has more to do with the company's 5G network equipment than it does with 5G phones. The U.S. — and by its reckoning, the rest of the "free" world — just can't have Huawei controlling the flow of information across the planet in the near future because it wants to control the flow of information. Really, it's that simple. Much has been said about the U.S.-led ban on Huawei, but it all comes down to 5G equipment.While this makes some of us rise up and salute a flag and makes others completely frustrated that phones got caught up in some 5G infrastructure fight, it does make perfect sense. No country wants to get left out when it comes to the trillions of dollars of revenue 5G networks are going to create, never mind the idea that communist China would have too much control over information networks. If you've been paying att...

Firstly, I wish it had a wide-angle camera, and second, I wish it wasn't boring Just Black. Google traditionally has at least one color option beyond the standard black/white: for the Pixel 3a it was "Purple-ish" (with a fluorescent yellow power button), for the Pixel 4 it was "Oh So Orange", and the just released Pixel 5 has "Sorta Sage".

The Patriots in 2020 are not the Patriots of years past, for a lot of reasons. But, as everyone learned from week nine, the teams should never be counted out. So as they gear up to take on Baltimore on Sunday Night Football it's safe to say anything can happen.The Ravens are by far the favorites in this matchup.

Grief is a snake. It slithers up and down your body, first winding itself around your heart before briefly relenting and moving to your head, where it shakes loose memories at random intervals. It meanders down to your feet, wrapping its body around your legs so tightly it makes walking difficult. It snakes its way to your stomach, releasing battery acid that kills appetite. It moves to your eyes and shuts them, infecting you with fatigue. It manipulates your tear ducts, so you find yourself crying without warning.After some time, the snake starts to feel familiar enough that you don't fight it the next time you feel your heart beating fast, your stomach tightening, your legs dragging, your eyes closing. There's a comfort to its abuse; facing the silence of absence is too difficult. And so it goes, until one day you realize you don't need to hold onto railings, or bring tissues with you; you can eat a full meal again. The snake is still there, but its attention is elsewhere, as is ...

If you like Verizon's service but hate the contract, there are some great MVNOs that use Verizon's network. The three big wireless service providers in the U.S. are AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Each one has its own unique set of deals and features, but these aren't the only options you have to choose from. Mobile Virtual Network Operators (or MVNOs for short) are other carriers that harness the network of the Big Three carriers, so you can still choose the one that has the best coverage in your area while having more flexibility over what you spend. When it comes to carriers powered by Verizon's network, Visible stands out as the best overall choice. However, it's far from the only one out there.Best Overall: VisibleVisible is the first and one of the most unique prepaid carriers on this list. Rather than going into a store to get started with your new phone service, everything with Visible is handled through its mobile app. This includes creating an account and paying your...

The second half of the season starts now and it's a chance for teams to improve where they fell short the first time around. For the Cincinnati Bengals, a few pieces will need to lock into place, but it can happen. Joe Burrow is looking decent at QB and he's even on track to break some rookie records if he can keep up his touchdown passes. Speaking of records, Tyler Boyd could break a Bengals record for most receptions. Burrow's and Boyd's remainder of the season will likely go hand-in-hand, but considering they have been geling with each week, there's a good chance they both happen.In terms of what to expect from the Bengals and Steelers meeting, it's hard to see anything but a Steelers win in week 10. The Bengals have not had good luck against rivals in the AFC North and the Steelers are on a roll with an 8-0 record.The Bengals don't have a run game and can't stop the run game. Their overall defense isn't great, but in the last meeting the Steelers ran all over them.Cincinnat...

Many thermostats require a C wire ("common" wire) to power it due to their LED displays and Wi-Fi-powered advanced functions, leading homeowners with older heating systems to look for smart thermostats without a C wire requirement. If you don't already have a C wire in your system, these smart thermostats use separate power sources or adapters that let you monitor your home climate without having to rewire your home.Simple and straightforwardNest Thermostat EStaff pickThis stripped-down version of Nest's Learning Thermostat is a great option for folks who don't want to spend too much and prefer minimalist devices. The display simply shows the temperature setting, while the app lets you prioritize certain rooms' cooling, change settings when you're away, and lets you know if it senses a problem.

What was initially conceived of as a TV series by Academy Award, Bafta and Golden Globe-winning filmmaker Steve McQueen has turned into a five-part anthology film series called Small Axe and we have all the details on how you can watch it online or on TV.Set from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, McQueen's Small Axe films each tell a story involving London's West Indian community which faced rampant racism and discrimination. While the stories depicted in the films are set decades ago, each one remains as timely today as they were for the West Indian community living in London at the time.The first film titled "Mangrove" tells the story of Frank Chriclow, played by Shaun Parkes, who owned a Carribean restaurant in Notting Hill that served as a community base for locals, intellectuals and activists. However, when the police raided the Mangrove restaurant, Chriclow and the local community took to the streets in a peaceful protest in 1970. Nine men and women who participated includin...

If the Chargers didn't find new and unique ways to lose each week, the Broncos would be sitting in last place in the AFC West. The last Chargers loss was thanks to the Raiders, though it wasn't because the Raiders had them beat from the start.The Broncos are 3-5 with the Raiders sitting opposite at 5-3. At this point in the season second place is still up for grabs. The Kansas City Chiefs are pulling away with a record of 8-1, and deservedly so. The Raiders have a lot of promise and are playing decent, but they will still need to work for a playoff spot.Most analysts peg the Raiders as the favorites to win, but most also wouldn't be surprised if the Broncos pulled off a win. The Raiders will need Derek Carr to show up and throw for more than his averaged 160 yards and remain consistent with not giving up many interceptions.Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders: Where and when?Division rivals the Raiders and Broncos meet at Allegiant Stadium on November 15, at 4:05 PM ET.

The Eagles sit atop the NFC East with a record of 3-4-1. The team is coming off their bye week which, for fans, should hopefully mean they are rested and ready to go. The team opens as the slight favorites against the New York Giants who reside in the same division at 2-7.It was only two weeks ago that these two rivals met to play Thursday Night Football. It was extremely close with a score of 22-21, but the Eagles were able to get the best of the Giants. There's a solid chance the game plays out similarly. Plus, the Eagles have won the last eight games they've faced against the Giants. That doesn't predict the future, but it is telling.Not much has changed for either team in the short amount of time. The Giants are coming off their much needed win over Washington. One difference, however, is the prize for this game's winner. If the Giants can best the Eagles, they will move into a first place tie. If the Eagles can outplay the Giants, they'll be in first in the most definitive w...

At this point in the season, no one really knows what to expect from the Tampa Bay Bucs. From one week to the next we get excellent gameplay, but then duds. Last week was one of Tom Brady's worst games as a pro, so we're expecting a much better performance in Week 10 for the Bucs vs Panthers.This weekend will actually be the second time the Panthers and Bucs play in 2020 with Tom Brady and Teddy Bridgewater both at Quarterback. That said, we're expecting a completely different game than the product on the field in Week 2.Earlier this season the Bucs beat the Panthers pretty bad, with a final score of 31-17 at home. Time time, though, the game is in Carolina and the team has grown quite a bit over the past several weeks. In fact, the Panthers almost upset the defending-champs Chiefs only a few days ago. Basically, things might go a little different for the Panthers, especially if they can take a few tips from how the Saints slowed down Tom Brady.Two important pieces of the puzzl...

The British survival reality TV show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! is returning for its 20th season and we have all the details on how you can watch it online or on TV.Each season of I'm a Celebrity sees a new group of celebrities living together in extreme conditions with few creature comforts. For this reason, each celebrity camper has to participate in a series of gruelling trials and fun-filled challenges with the aim of securing additional food and treats for the group. At the same time though, viewers can vote out campers during their stay and in the final episode, the votes are tallied to determine which celebrity wins the series to be crowned as King or Queen of the jungle.While I'm a Celebrity is usually filmed in the Australian jungle, this year the show had to make some big changes due to Covid-19 travel restrictions. According to ITV Studios' director of entertainment Richard Cowles, the show's producers tried everything possible to shoot this season in Australi...

The Jacksonville Jaguars and backup QB Jake Luton looked pretty good in week 9, even though they fail short and lost to the Texans. Things aren't getting any easier traveling into Green Bay for week 10. Here's how to watch it live from anywhere.Before the season started, fans in Jacksonville had high hopes. Everyone loved Gardner Minshew, his swagger, and his mustache. Things haven't turned out quite as expected, though, and they sit at just (1-7) as they head to Green Bay.Things will be even more difficult for the Jags this week going up against A-Rod and the (6-2) Packers. In fact, Vegas already has the Packers as a 14-point favorite, which doesn't bode well for the Jacksonville Jaguars.Every team has endured injury or COVID problems this year, including both the Packers and the Jaguars. Whether that's the star QB, running backs, or defensive players. Green Bay has several players in the COVID protocol but should have both Aaron Jones and Jamall Williams back for week 10. How...

All this thing needs is a calculator and PacMan, and I'm back in 4th grade.My inner 80s child was immediately drawn to Amazfit Neo, and he kicked and screamed at me for weeks to test it out and write up this review. Just looking at the device brought back a flood of fond memories of my first "real" digital watches, and I relished the idea of going back to a simpler time in tech when beeps and notifications weren't bombarding me at all hours of the day. The fact that this watch claimed to be capable of basic activity tracking was a bonus because right now I feel like I need to track my fitness in order to stay healthy and happy. But was the Amazfit Neo up to the challenge? That's what I set to find out.So far, I've spent just over a week with the Amazfit Neo, and I can say that while it's not the smartwatch that most people are looking for, it just might be the right fit for you if you're feeling nostalgic for the good old days. There's not a whole lot of tech to dissect here, but...

If you're looking to watch two high-powered NFL offenses go head to head and score a ton of points, you'll want to check out the Seahawks vs RAMS in week 10. Here's how to watch it live from anywhere in the world.This year the Seattle Seahawks are one of the best in terms of offense. They score fast, often, and with ease. However, they're also dead last in the NFL when it comes to pass defense. Anyone and everyone can score against them, which means Jared Goff should have a solid game after coming off a bye.The LA Rams struggled in their last game against the Dolphins, but they're still 5-3 and in the hunt for a playoff spot. If they're going to get the offense going against anyone and firing on all cylinders, it'll be vs the Seahawks. Basically, this game will have a ton of offense, plenty of scoring drives, and you won't want to miss it.On the other side of the ball, you have Russell Wilson, who's for the most part having an MVP-like season. He's led his team to several victo...
