Whether you’re tired of losing your keys, you’re already in the process of automating your home, or you’re setting up a B&B, a vital part of the process is choosing a smart lock that fits your needs. There are plenty of different smart locks to choose from, each with their own unique abilities. However, we recommend the August Smart Lock Pro for most people since it’s super easy to set up and comes with everything you need.

Best Overall: August Smart Lock Pro + Connect (3rd Gen)

One of the reasons we like this option so much is that from a street view, no one would know that it was a smart lock. It allows you to keep your handle and lock in place but adds a smart component that’s only visible from inside your home. It isn’t the most pleasant thing to look at from the inside, but you probably won’t be looking at it much. It’s a bit expensive. However, this particular purchase comes with a Connect Wi-Fi Bridge, which will let you control your lock using the August app or a voic…

Closed captions are great for those who need them to enjoy what’s on the television. Captions you can adjust to meet your needs are even better.

It’s easy to talk about accessibility. Actually following through is where it counts. And to that end, there’s a surprising feature tucked inside the HBO Max app on Android TV.

Head on to the top and enter into your profile section, and you’ll see a section called “Closed Captioning.” Scroll on over to it and you’re greeted with a bunch of options for changing how captions look. And we’re not just talking about size here. We’re talking fonts. We’re talking colors. We’re talking backgrounds and opacity. We’re talking about style. So if you want drop shadows on your captions, you can have them. If you want full opacity, it’s yours. If you want the window to be green and the text red, have at it. If you want to read things in a script font instead of something more socially acceptable, the world’s your oyster.

And you’ll get an example of …

In the midst of the uncertainty caused by the novel coronavirus, Chase appears to want to keep its customers loyal by lowering the annual fee on one of its most popular cards.

In April, Chase announced that Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders with an annual fee renewing through July 1 would receive a $100 statement credit towards their annual fee.

Today, Chase updated that policy, announcing that any Sapphire Reserve renewal between July 1 through the end of 2020 will process at $450. Those with renewal dates between April 1 and July 1 will still see a $100 statement credit, which hasn’t changed. Note that this doesn’t apply to new sign-ups – only renewals.

This news comes amid Chase launching a…

Let’s chat with the AC forums.

If you’re in the market for an Android handset but don’t have a lot of cash to spend, picking up an older flagship can be a great way to get quality features and specs while staying on a budget. For example, if you’re eyeing the Galaxy S20 but can’t stomach its $1000 price tag, you may be better off considering the S10 or S9.

Recently, someone in our AC forums asked if it was still worth picking up the Pixel 2 XL here in 2020. Here’s how our other members responded:

I still think the Google Pixel 2 line is a great deal today. What is the price? If you can get the 2 XL at a bargain, go for it!

Keep us posted on what happens!

Wouldn’t get the 2xl unless it was dirt cheap. It’s about to be 3 ye…

OnePlus will re-enable the Photochrome filter after it tweaks the feature to fix the “x-ray camera” problem.

What you need to know

OnePlus is rolling out a new OxygenOS update to disable the color filter camera on the OnePlus 8 Pro.
The company had previously claimed that the camera would be disabled only on HydrogenOS.
OnePlus is expected to re-enable the color filter camera within the next few weeks.

OnePlus disabled the color filter camera on the OnePlus 8 Pro on HydrogenOS for users in China earlier this month, after it was discovered that the camera could “see through” thin layers of plastic and clothing. The company recently clarified that it had no plans of disabling the camera on OxygenOS and that it would instead roll out an update for the global versions of the OnePlus 8 Pro to “offer the Photochrome filter while limiting other functionality that may be of concern.”

Surprisingly, however, the company has now started pushing a new OxygenOS 10.5.9 update (via 9to5Goog…
