The NFC North is one of the toughest divisions in football, and this weekend is a great matchup with the Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers. Below you'll find more info about the game and how to watch it live wherever you are in the world.Even though these two teams have completely different records this will be a hard-fought game, as they always are. The Packers sit 5-1 and look good this year, while the Vikings who were favored to win the division before the season began, are just 1-5.Still, these two teams play each other at least twice every year, and often a 3rd for a Wildcard spot or in the Playoffs. Basically, they're not strangers and sets it up for a great Sunday morning showdown.Whether you're a cheesehead Packers fan like myself, or love the "Skol" Vikings you don't want to miss any of the action. This could be the game where the Vikings hit a stride and turn the season around, or it could be another shellacking like we saw in 2014. We don't know, but we'll at le...

This weekend the NFL has one of the biggest spreads in history, where the Kansas City Chiefs are favored to stomp all over the Jets by more than 20 points. It'll be tough to watch for New York Jets fans, but here's how to tune in no matter where you are in the world.With a record of 0-7, the Jets won't have an easy game on Sunday in week 8 against the reigning Super Bowl champs, the 6-1 Kansas City Chiefs. Not only are the Chiefs one of the best teams in football, on both sides of the ball, but New York has severely struggled this year.In fact, several fans, analysts, and talk-show hosts believe the Jets are tanking on purpose to get the #1 draft pick and secure Clemson's Trevor Lawrence. And we wouldn't blame them, as he looks great, and could work out better than Sam Darnold has thus far. Then again, no one knows if Lawrence will go Pro, or stay in college for another year.Either way, this will likely be a game that all Jets fans will want to quickly forget about. Unless that...

One of the most anticipated moments in the NFL's week 8 schedule is the LA Rams vs Miami Dolphins game, as rookie Tua Tagovailoa will get his first official start. Whether or not this will be enough to energize the team and get a win over the Rams, though, is yet to be seen.If you're looking for the Rams or Dolphins game start time, you're likely a true fan. Don't worry, as we'll explain below how to watch it from anywhere in the world.Even after a convincing 24-0 win over the Jets last week, the Miami Dolphins still plan on benching its starting QB and giving Tua his first NFL start. The pressure is on, too, probably more so than for rookie Joe Burrow, so Tua Tagovailoa definitely has his work cut out for him.I would have started Tua for the Jets game last week, personally, but then again this week they're at home and I'm not a head coach in the NFL either. The Los Angeles Rams vs Miami Dolphins game will surely be a tough test for the rookie, as he'll be facing a veteran defe...

Rookie Quarterback Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals have a tough game this week against the Titans. Here's everything fans need to know and where to watch it live no matter where you are in the world this weekend.IMAGEAt times this year, the Bengals have looked really good, and you can definitely see how skilled the Rookie quarterback is. However, he'll have to pull a few tricks out of his sleeve if the 1-5-1 Bengals hope to beat a dominant 5-1 Tennessee Titans team.Fans will surely want to tune in and watch the Titans vs Bengals this week, just to see Derrick Henry run over a few more players. Each week the all-star RB puts up another highlight reel, and this week will be no different. So far in 2020, the Titans look poised for another deep playoff run, and potentially even a Super Bowl appearance.If the Cincinnati Bengals want any chance at winning this game they'll need to stop the run. A feat that almost no team has been able to do since Henry came into the league. The...

Best answer: A Chromebox is a small form factor PC that runs Chrome OS. A Chromebook also runs Chrome OS but is instead a laptop or a tablet.Best Chromebox available today: ASUS Chromebox 3 ($410 at Amazon)Best Chromebook: Lenovo Flex 5 ($410 at Amazon)More power, less portabilityA Chromebook is a great way to be productive and have fun while you're on the go, but it works equally well at home on a desk or table. That leads to the question of why a Chromebox is a thing; what more can a Chromebox do to make it worth giving up the portability factor?A Chromebox can't do anything more than a Chromebook, but it can do it all better. That's because of two things: it's not battery-powered, and the bigger chassis means more room for active cooling. Both of these make for a noticeable performance improvement when using the same internal hardware.Chromebooks are great at power management, and that's why you can easily get up to 10 hours or so of use before you need to plug it in ...

The Buffalo Bills should be the favorite in the AFC East matchup against the Patriots. The Bills are the division leaders with a 5-2 record, compared to New England's 2-4 record. But, it is Bill Belichick and the Patriots that have dominated the Bills many times in the past. In fact, that's exactly why head coach Sean McDermott is focusing on winning this single game at the moment, rather than the division. If the Bills can hold back the Patriots this week, they'll have a much easier time accomplishing their larger goal of making the playoffs and making it to the Superbowl.Looking at each team's net points through seven weeks shows that the Patriots, at -28 points, are losing pretty substantially. The Bills' -4 points are still a little concerning for the long term in that they are having a hard time putting points on the board. Another AFC East team, the Miami Dolphins by contrast are sitting at 47 points.Last week, after his third interception, QB Cam Newton was benched for bac...

The results may surprise you.This year has been a rather explosive one for mobile camera tech. At the start of the year, Samsung dropped one of the largest image sensors we'd seen into the Galaxy S20 Ultra — a 108MP 1/1.33-inch sensor with 9:1 pixel binning — alongside a periscope-style telephoto sensor that was capable of reaching a whopping 100X zoom (albeit with questionable results at the upper limits). Later on in the year, the OnePlus 8 Pro finally brought flagship-tier cameras to a OnePlus device for the first time, with 48MP wide and ultra-wide sensors and an 8MP 3X telephoto lens.Jump to:Scene 1: Wide-angleScene 1: Ultra-wideScene 1: TelephotoScene 2: Wide-angleScene 2: Ultra-wideScene 2: TelephotoScene 3: Wide-angleScene 3: TelephotoScene 4: Wide-angleScene 5: Wide-angleScene 6: Wide-angleOf course, Google's Pixel line is often revered as the best Android camera experience around, and the Pixel 5 gave us the ultra-wide sensor we've been clamoring...

Both the Ravens and the Steelers have great arms and leadership at the quarterback position in Lamar Jackson and Ben Roethlisberger. The story for both of these teams however is more about their defense than offense. Roethlisberger only has 13 touchdown passes and just a hair above 68% in completed passes. Jackson and the Ravens rank near the end in both yards per attempt and passing offense. That's not to say either team can't explode offensively, but it will be challenging as both teams employ a high ranking, highly skilled defense.Brandon Williams should be back to defend against the Steelers which is good news for the birds. Without Williams the team was giving up more rushing yards than with him on the field.The Steelers are a wall when it comes to stopping the rush, only allowing around three and half yards per carry. Can the Steelers remain undefeated against the talented division rival Ravens? The slight edge has to go to Baltimore, but it's really either team's game to l...

The Niners are coming off a huge win over the Patriots while the Seahawks suffered their first loss to the Cardinals. As San Francisco picks up and begins to look like a solid team, this could be a huge game for the division rivals. While the 49ers are formidable competitors, Russell Wilson and the Seahawks are the obvious favorites.Wilson has thrown for nearly 1,900 yards and completed 22 touchdown passes — more than a 70% pass completion rate — which makes him a huge hurdle to overcome. Of course, along with Wilson is DK Metcalf who, among other things, is speedy. The Cardinals put as much pressure as they could on the seasoned QB so the Niners may want to employ similar tactics to keep him scrambling.While the 49ers do have some solid defense, look for some high scores with two dynamic offenses. San Francisco would much rather stay above .500, but it will take everything to hand Seattle its second loss in as many weeks.Seattle Seahawks vs San Francisco 49ers: Where and w...

The race for next-gen wireless techAll of the major U.S. carriers are hard at work on their 5G strategy. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon have launched 5G networks and are aggressively expanding those networks in 2020 and into next year. Recently, Sprint's 5G network was devoured by T-Mobile and taken offline as T-Mobile recycles Sprint's spectrum. 5G service not only provides faster speeds but also reduced response times, allowing for new services and cloud computing not previously available.5G is taking hold in the U.S. and it's no coincidence that many of the best 5G phones are also some of the best Android phones in general. For now, the major difference between LTE and 5G will be speed, but as coverage continues to roll out to new areas, more services that rely on instant connectivity should become possible.Jump to:Frequencies and coverageVerizonT-Mobile and SprintAT&TFrequencies and coverage Carrier Bands Verizon n5 (DSS for sub-6), n261 (2...

Two heavyweight fighters looking to move into contention for a shot at the division's upper echelon get in the ring on Saturday in London. Read on for your full guide to watching an Oleksandr Usyk vs Dereck Chisora live stream.This Halloween heavyweight clash marks the first real heavyweight test of the much-lauded Usyk.Tonight's showdown in London will be only the second appearance at this weight for the Ukranian, having moved up from cruiserweight.Usyk was a former undisputed champion at cruiserweight, and dominated that division on his way to clocking up a formidable record of 17-0 and 13KOs.While he was impressive enough in his heavyweight debut, battering Chazz Witherspoon in a seventh-round stoppage that saw him land 139 of the 347 punches he threw, Usyk has not been in the ring for a full 12 months since that win.Facing him tonight is a much more experienced and unpredictable fighter in the form of Britain's Dereck ChisoraThe 36-year-old Zimbabwean-born brawler loo...

Choosing the right solid-state drive (SSD) for your PC is vital, especially if it's to be the drive that contains the operating system. SATA SSDs took storage to the next level compared to mechanical drives, but NVMe PCIe SSDs like the Samsung 970 EVO Plus catapult flash storage to a new dimension with fantastic read and write speeds at a reasonable price.

Best answer: Yes, the Oculus Quest 2 features manual IPD adjustment via sliding lenses, but it relies on three presets — a change from the original Oculus Quest.A better fit: Oculus Quest 2 (From $299 at Amazon)A trifecta bet with the Oculus Quest 2The Oculus Quest 2, thankfully, still features physical IPD (inter-pupillary distance) adjustment for its lenses. Unlike the original Oculus Quest, however, the Oculus Quest 2 relies on three presets to get the job done. Users can easily slide the lenses themselves between presets simply labeled 1, 2, and 3 before placing the Oculus Quest 2 on their heads.By default, the Oculus Quest 2 sits at the 2 preset, which should cover the average person's IPD between 62-65mm. Sliding the lenses inward toward each other will move them to preset 1, which should cover folks with an IPD between 58-61mm. Subsequently, sliding the lenses away from each other to the furthest point, labeled 3, should cover users with IPD between 66-70mm.Physi...

LG makes some of the best phones money can buy — as long as you leave the screen off.LG makes a lot of different products and almost all of them are best-in-class. Whether it's a washing machine or a television, you owe it to yourself to check out what LG has to offer. The same thing could be said about the company's phone business, if only it could fix its horrible software.Normally, this is not a problem I would waste any internet bandwidth on. Lots of companies make phones that very few people buy for one reason or another, but with LG, things are different. LG makes really excellent phones that look good and are built extremely well. And every one of them is spoiled by the software running on them. LG has never been afraid to make quirky phones that were beautiful and well-built.I'm not going to be shy — LG is my favorite phone manufacturer when it comes to quality. The company also isn't afraid to keep doing something different, like tiny ticker-style windows on t...

Get the most out of your new Pixel.With the Pixel 5, Google's tried something a bit different than it has in years past. Rather than attempting to create the most powerful and technically impressive phone on the market, the company instead focused on delivering a high-end smartphone at a competitive price. The end result is a smartphone that's considerably cheaper than options from Samsung and Apple, and especially during this year, that's something we're happy to see.Something that hasn't changed with the Pixel 5, however, is its focus on delivering unique and helpful features not found on any other phone. No one makes smartphones the way Google does, and similar to past releases, the Pixel 5 has a few tricks up its sleeve that really add to the overall user experience.If you've purchased the Pixel 5, here are a few tips and tricks to help you get the absolute most out of it.Master the on-screen Google Assistant gestureEver since the Pixel 2, Google has offered its Activ...

It's a huge weekend of rugby action, with the conclusion of the Six Nations in Europe, and this clash between old foes Australia and New Zealand, which marks the opening game of the Tri Nations.Somewhat confusingly, thanks to the COVID-19 disrupted season, this match also serves as the opening match of the 2020 Rugby Championship as well as the third of four Bledisloe Cup matches between these two sides this year.After two sides played out a 16-16 draw in Wellington followed by a 27-7 defeat at Eden Park, only a win will do for the Wallabies here if they are to keep their hopes alive of lifting the Bledisloe Cup for the first time since 2002.The Wallabies' hopes of earning a victory have taken a serious knock following confirmation of an injury to key fly-half James O'Connor.O'Connor's absence means Noah Lolesio will now make his debut for the home side at number ten alongside Brumbies teammate Irae Simone, who will also be earning his first cap, wearing the number 12 shirt....

Google's hardware always leaks months before anything is even close to release.The latest rumor says that Google is going to release a "true flagship" Pixel in March 2021. There's no reason to even consider this one, though.To be fair, the latest person to utter the words out loud (in 2020 Twitter is the new out loud) is Max Weinbach and even he doesn't seem to give it much weight, calling unsubstantiated.This is the biggest rumor I've heard in ages, and I mean this is an unsubstantiated rumor I've heard from like 2 people so absolutely don't believe it, but apparently there's a true flagship Pixel coming out in like March 2021.

That doesn't change anything this time, though, and I'm going to have to say nope. This one isn't happening. Googl...

After that, there are a few different things to try.A solid connection: Anker 2-Pack, 6ft Nylon Braided Micro USB Cable with Gold-Plated Connectors ($15 at Amazon)Replacement if needed: DualShock 4 Wireless Controllers for PlayStation 4 (From $65 at Amazon)Why is this happening? Image by Larry Wentzel.The most likely reason you are losing connection between your PlayStation 4 and the controller is that you have Gremlins. Annoying little creatures who love to destroy technology certainly makes a better story than wireless interference, bad firmware or simple wear and tear from use. But no matter which little annoyance is causing your controllers to disconnect, there's a few tricks to do in order to find out how to fix your PS4 controller from not connecting.Resync and resetBe...

The often-maligned service has gone to its final rest, so let's mourn it properly, with some music to fit its life and its death.It's here. It finally happened. Just shy of its ninth birthday, Google Play Music is dead. May it rest in peace, with part of its spirit living transferred to its successor and slaughterer, YouTube Music. Many have paid their respects to the service over the last few weeks as the shutdown commenced, but I felt it only right to mourn a great music service with some music tracks itself.Here are the songs that exemplify and exalt the Google service I loved above all others, over Gmail and Keep and even over YouTube itself. And let's start with where the ending began: with a death declaration.Time is of the Essence The death of a thousand declarations "Either way, I give him half an hour, That's my educated guess. Well, 20 minutes tops, let's call it ten — The man's a mess!" Google Play Music had been declared dead so many times by 2018 rolle...

Best answer: Most people should buy the standard Bluetooth model of the Galaxy Watch 3. It's less expensive up-front, but also doesn't require an ongoing service with your carrier. Aside from streaming music and receiving calls independent of your phone, it does everything that the LTE model does — and it gets better battery life.Worth it beyond LTE: Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 (From $339 at Amazon)It's about more than the up-front price differenceThe Galaxy Watch 3 is not a cheap device, starting at $339 for the 41mm Bluetooth model, but is the Galaxy Watch 3 with LTE worth it? The LTE models get an obvious price mark-up — that's the case whether you buy directly from Samsung or buy from a carrier like T-Mobile. While the cost to add LTE has come down some over previous Galaxy Watch models, you'll still be looking at about a $50 upcharge.Paying that much extra, on a percentage basis is annoying for a watch that is otherwise the same. But really, that upfront cost is inconsequ...

Best answer: Fastboot is part of the Android bootloader as well as a program you can run on a computer to communicate with it. You might have seen it in action if you've ever unlocked the bootloader or had to manually update a Pixel phone.The pure Fastboot experience: Google Pixel 5 ($700 at Amazon)Just as pure and a lot cheaper: Google Pixel 4a ($349 at Amazon)A confusing name but a simple ideaFastboot is three different things with the same name: A protocol for communication between your phone hardware and a computer, software that runs on the phone when in fastboot mode, and the executable file on the computer you use to make them talk to each other.The file you run on a PC (or a Mac) is nothing flashy. You download it from Google and stuff it in the folder where the Android SDK parts live and it just works. The protocol is automatic and if your phone is in Fastboot mode and you run the file it too just works. The phone part is an entirely different story, though.Unle...

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.
