Google’s mesh router launched with built-in speed testing capabilities, but a new update expands that functionality. With the aim of improving network troubleshooting, you can now test individual devices. This feature is live in the latest Google Wifi app, and you can download it right now. To test a specific device with the Google Wifi app, […]

We have blockchains for currencies, blockchains for sex, and blockchains for phones. Or is it phones for blockchains? Either way, add HTC to the list of companies interested in finding profit from the subject with it’s new Exodus, ostensibly a decentralized, blockchain and buzzword-packed marketing experience that may also be a phone. The Exodus has […]

Back at CES, Asus showed off a follow-up to the not-so-old Zenfone 4 Max, which was a phone that ultimately disappointed me. Attempting to capitalize on the love for big batteries, the Taiwanese company decided to spin off the Zenfone Max line into its own device family. These phones will offer large batteries and many […]

It has been about a year since Lenovo released its Android version of the Yoga Tablet 2, so it was only a short matter of time before we would hear about an update if they plan on continuing the mid- to upper-range line of tablets. Twitter-based @upleaks has posted two images that appear to be […]

Turning to the teardown, it looks like Google will be giving contributors […]

It doesn’t seem to be affecting everyone (our own Ryan is having no problems over in Minnesota), but it does seem pretty widespread, with lots of reports on Twitter, DownDetector, and Outage Report.

This makes the terrible internet situation in Lebanon even more challenging because finding a router system that reaches both ends is tricky. After a lot of research, I opted for a TP-Link Archer […]

Earlier this week, photos of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy View tablet – a word I use primarily because there isn’t a better one for a product like this – leaked. Extensively.
