How-To Geek
I tried 6 note-taking apps: here's why upnote is the best, the quickest, easiest ways to add apps to a boox tablet, how to create and use an email template in the new microsoft outlook, a bottom port is the least of the magic mouse's problems, av linux: exploring a distro for audio/visual work, why all phones feel the same (and what comes next).
It's not just you. All smartphones feel the same and I have a hunch that one thing is going to change our smartphones in more ways than one. This is what I believe to be the catalyst for how our smartphones could evolve forever.
The Pixel I Recommend to Everyone: Pixel 8 Pro Long-Term Review
Google has released many superb smartphones in the last few years with the most recent 9-series feeling like a distinct step up in several areas. But in many others, it also feels like an iterative upgrade over 2023's models.

Do You Miss Headphone Jacks on Phones?
If you buy a new phone today, chances are it doesn't have a headphone jack. Apple removed the 3.5mm connector on the iPhone 7 in 2016, a decision which caused controversy at the time but eventually spread to other manufacturers. Now, if you want to use wired headphones, you need an adapter. Do you think removing the headphone jack was the right move?
We're All Sick of Google's AI Overviews, Right?
My girlfriend asks a question, I look up the answer, and I blurt out something that's so obviously wrong because I was too stupid to scroll past Google's AI Overview. No, a Big Mac meal isn't $3.11, you can't submit a new photo when you renew your driver's license online in Florida, and Kenan Thompson does not die from complications related to diabetes at the end of the Fat Albert movie. I know better than to trust random crap that I read on the internet, especially when that crap is AI-generated. Still, I and millions of other people expect to receive a correct answer when we look up a straightforward question. I can't be the only one who's getting tripped up by this busted AI thing—we're all sick of it, right?
If You Could Change One Thing About Android, What Would It Be?
There's no shortage of features, apps, or customization for our Android phones these days, and the technology is pretty mature. But that doesn't mean it can't improve in several areas. I'm thinking of better software updates, bringing back small screens, a true iMessage alternative, or an improved and faster backup and transfer system. If you could change one thing on Android, what would it be?
