Here are the best digital photo frames in 2020
Digital photo frames were once pretty hot items but they sort of fell off the map — until now. The latest and most premium models include cloud connectivity that allows you to download a mobile app and upload photos, slideshows, and sometimes even videos wirelessly to a frame anywhere in the world.

My favorite is the Nixplay 10.1-inch Smart Digital Picture Frame because it has everything you could want, including Wi-Fi connectivity and a gorgeous screen, plus it is super easy to use. There are some other great options, too.Best Overall: Nixplay 10.1 Inch Smart Digital Picture FrameI have the larger version of this frame and set it up at my parents' house so I could surprise them with a new set of photos, whether from our recent vacation or just a slideshow of photos of their grandson.

It's that classic PlayStation and arcade shooter where you duck-and-cover to reload and avoid enemy projectiles, except you'd be rising up to take aim at the enemies in every scene with an actual gun controller in your hand. While lightgun games of old have mostly gone to the wayside because of expensive peripherals, the concept is as classic as it comes. Crisis VRigade 2 helps fill that void by utilizing that PlayStation Aim controller you've already used for other PSVR games, and it's going to be available in just a week on July 14, 2020.While we don't have an official price just yet, it's likely developer Su...
Here's the real reason the OnePlus Nord isn't launching in North America
The OnePlus Nord exists to increase OnePlus' market share in India.The OnePlus Nord is turning out to be one of the most exciting phones from the Chinese manufacturer in recent years, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that it is aimed at the mid-range segment. Starting with the OnePlus 7 Pro, OnePlus switched focus to the flagship category and set its sights on Samsung and Google. And while we got the OnePlus 7T last year for $600 and the OnePlus 8 a few months ago for $700, it is clear that OnePlus is increasingly looking to the flagship segment.That's what makes the OnePlus Nord so enticing. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 765G chipset, and is the first device from OnePlus to offer dual 32MP + 8MP cameras at the front. The phone is also confirmed to retail for under $500, with OnePlus positioning it as a Pixel 4a rival thanks to "flagship-level" cameras. OnePlus' U.S. strategy involves carrier deals, and that model doesn't work for phones with razor-thin margin...

These are the phones you should buy for Google Fi
For just $20 per month for unlimited calls and texts, and $10 per gigabyte of data (and any data past 6GB is free), Google Fi is one of the most compelling carriers around. Factor in its excellent global roaming, nationwide coverage, and billing feature that credits back whatever data you don't use, and you have an even more appealing purchase. Fi works with almost any unlocked phone, but certain features only work on some phones. The Google Pixel 4 XL is our top recommendation for the network because of its complete feature support, but if that doesn't fit your needs, there are plenty of other phones to choose from here.Best Overall: Google Pixel 4 XLWhen it comes to phones that work with Google Fi, the best overall option is the Google Pixel 4 XL.

Facebook refusing to give WhatsApp data to Hong Kong is a big deal
Facebook provided data for 119 users to Hong Kong authorities in 2019 and has decided to stop for the foreseeable future.For a long time, Hong Kong operated as a mostly independent city-state and was exempt from China's restrictions on the internet. In case you didn't know, China blocks many websites and services inside its borders and that means that users have no access to services like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Google services like Gmail. If users want to use these services, they have to resort to things like a VPN where those of us here in the West can just log on normally.That's all changed, and with it comes a fear that people in Hong Kong can now be subject to punishment for things they have said online. Yes, China actively pursues users who say things that the state doesn't want them to say over the internet. It's a small world but so very different, depending on where you live in it.More: Here's why India is banning TikTok, UC Browser, WeChat, and other Chinese appsThi...
