Disney Plus is now available on Samsung TVs

Marvel on demand: Disney+ ($7/month at Disney+)
Cast away: Chromecast ($35 at Amazon)
Disney+ is finally here!
Disney+ is now available in many places and platforms, including on most newer model Samsung TVs. Basically, if you have a Samsung TV from 2016 or newer that is running Samsung’s Tizen OS, then you should be able to download the Disney+ app and watch it natively.
This is great news for users who have a relatively recent Samsung TV, as being able to watch natively offers a great experience and means you won’t have to go digging through a secondary console device or use your phone as a remote while Chromecasting them.

Duet works via software and a USB cable.
You’ll have access to touchscreen functions as you’d use on your phone or tablet.

This gap applies to apps that are available on both operating systems, but even more so towards apps that we can only find on iOS without a true option on Android. Finally, an app that has been previously developed only on iOS is making its debut to Android users.
Duet is an app — developed by a team of former Apple engineers — that lets you turn your phone, tablet, or Chromebook into a secondary display for your Windows or Mac computer.
Using the app seems to be pretty straightforward. You install Duet on your computer, download it on the device you want to use as the secondary display, launch both programs, and connect with a USB cable &mdash… 閱讀全文
Fossil Gen 5 vs. Fossil Sport: Which should you buy?
Intro
The new kid
Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle
$295 at Amazon
Pros
Fantastic hardware
Vibrant, colorful screen
1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage
Cons

Cons
Only 512mb of Ram and 4GB of storage
Pricey considering competitors
Fossil Sport is a good watch. It has solid, light hardware with features like the rotating crown that offer plenty of options for use. The variety of colors… 閱讀全文
