Your TV is probably the centerpiece of your living room. It gives all of your family members a place to consume media and entertainment. And it's definitely one of many things that you probably don't want to cheap out on: after all, a TV can last you several years. At my household, we got our current TV by the end of 2009, and while it's screaming for an upgrade now, it lived a very fulfilling 11-year lifespan. If you're in the market for a new TV, Hisense has an amazing option that measures in at 75 inches. It usually retails for $1,000, but you can get it right now for just $600.

With phones being completely capable of delivering a decent reading experience, you might think that there's really no need anymore for a separate e-reader, right? Well, there are a few use-cases where having an e-reader is better: way better battery life and just the commodity of having a dedicated device that will display your books and allow you to read them in a pinch. One of the pioneers of this concept is the Kindle, and the newer Kindle Paperwhite follows in the footsteps of those basic models, and right now, you can grab it for a mere $85, down from the usual $130 price point.

This could be our first look at the Motorola Moto G10 Play

Motorola's Moto G10 Play may be coming soon, and thanks to OnLeaks, we have a pretty good idea of what it could look like.

The Moto G lineup from Motorola has been a massive success ever since it was launched in 2013, while the company was still in Google's hands. Even after Motorola was sold off to Lenovo, though, the overall DNA from the series did not change that much over the years. They have taken some controversial turns, they no longer enjoy the best update support out of the bunch, but overall, they're still what they've been since the beginning: budget smartphones that can do the job without a hitch. Moto G smartphones have perdured over nine generations, with the last generation being the Moto G9 series. The Moto G10 series is coming soon, though, and thanks to renowned leaker OnLeaks (on Voice.com), we may have a first-hand look at how the Moto G10 Play will look like.

Facebook starts rolling out Dark Mode for more users on mobile

Facebook has started to publicly test Dark Mode for their official Facebook app, at long last. Read on to know more about this new feature!

Both the Facebook app and the Facebook website have both recently underwent a massive redesign. Gone is the blue main color scheme that formerly was a staple of Facebook. Instead, we now have a slightly brighter tone of blue as highlights while the app's main color is all white. And this, at least in the case of the website and even the Facebook Lite app, was introduced together with a toggle for switching between light and dark mode, with dark mode taking all of the white and turning it dark. Android users were, however, left with an obnoxiously bright app. Well, we bring you good news today: Facebook has started to more broadly roll out Dark Mode for its official Android app.

These are the best OnePlus 8T screen protectors

You might want to pick up a OnePlus 8T screen protector for your brand new device. Fortunately, we have you covered! Read on to know more.

For all of the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro's good and bad things, there was one new feature that irked some fans: the curved displays on both phones. Last year, only the OnePlus 7 Pro featured a curved display. But that extended to the 8 Pro as well as the regular 8 this year. For what it's worth, the OnePlus 8T rolled back to a flat display, but you will still want a good screen protector to go with it.

The OnePlus Watch has allegedly been postponed

The OnePlus Watch, the elusive smartwatch from OnePlus, has been postponed indefinitely, according to renowned leaker Max J.

OnePlus has forayed into a lot of fields that are not just flagship smartphones. Now, we have mid-range phones under the Nord sub-brand, TWS earbuds, and even TVs sold under the OnePlus brand. But one that we've been looking forward to for quite a while is a smartwatch from OnePlus. This year, the rumor mill started talking about a device called the OnePlus Watch. This device, with a circular design, should have been released this month, but alas, OnePlus announced the OnePlus 8T and later on two new Nord phones, the Nord N10 5G and the Nord N100, and there was no mention whatsoever of the OnePlus Watch's launch in any of the two announcements. Renowned leaker Max J has an explanation for this, though.

TWRP is an excellent tool to have for enthusiasts. Even if you're not a root user or you're not normally the kind of person to constantly switch between ROMs, this custom recovery allows you to do anything from changing the emojis on your phone to installing a custom kernel for adding extra features to your device and improve the way it runs. TWRP is already available for dozens of devices, and now, a few others are joining the list, including the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G (Exynos), the Xiaomi Redmi 8A, and the Motorola Moto Z2 Play. Furthermore, a development champion, the POCO F1, is joining the list again as well.

Mozilla adds pull-to-refresh for Firefox Nightly on Android

While Mozilla's Firefox browser is behind Google's Chrome in a couple of aspects, I feel it doesn't get the credit it deserves nowadays. On Android, it supports browser extensions, which, to be frank, is amazing for a mobile browser. Today, however, Mozilla has finally added a feature to the Android version of Firefox that other Chromium-based browsers have had for years: pull-to-refresh.

We already know that several new WhatsApp features are on the horizon, and we're now learning of one more feature in the works if a report from WABetaInfo rings true.

Chromebook users can now claim 3 months of NVIDIA GeForce NOW

If you're a Chromebook user looking to try out NVIDIA's GeForce NOW service, you can now try it out for a few months for really cheap.

Gaming on a Chromebook has usually not been a great experience. In fact, it isn't even possible to play most PC games on a Chromebook due to the fact that few games have been ported to Chrome OS, and running Steam off of the Linux container has many limitations. Thanks to the advent of cloud gaming services, though, the only barrier to entry for gaming on a Chromebook is how good your Internet connection is (and what cloud services are available as well as what games are available on each service, of course). If you're interested in playing PC games you've purchased on Steam or Epic Games through NVIDIA GeForce NOW, you can get started with a special offer for Chromebook users in the U.S.

Windows 10 20H2 update
Microsoft rolls out the Windows 10 20H2 update with a new start menu design

Microsoft's latest update for Windows 10, version 20H2, is now rolling out to computers worldwide in the stable branch. Here's what's new.

Windows 10 was released in 2015 and represented a big change of direction for Microsoft's operating system. For years, Microsoft's approach to Windows has been to relegate major feature updates for all new versions of the OS. As a result, updates to Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.1 were mostly geared towards improving the security and refining already-existing features. Windows 10, though, has consistently added new features and improvements on top of the base release through bi-yearly major updates. The latest of such updates, Windows 10 20H2, is now rolling out, bringing some significant changes.
