Test du Google Pixel 11 : pourquoi le modèle de base reste mon préféré, même cette année
Google propose des fonctionnalités intelligentes qui font que le Pixel de base reste le modèle à privilégier pour la plupart des utilisateurs. Aveux : j’ai passé ces deux dernières semaines à faire du « speed-dating ». Pas avec des gens, mais avec des téléphones. Certains étaient d’un luxe excessif, proposant des fonctionnalités tape-à-l’œil et des promesses audacieuses qui étaient tout simplement trop somptueuses pour mon mode de vie. D’autres étaient discrètement séduisants. Le nouveau…

How to save money on your phone bill with an MVNO
Lower cost doesn't always mean lower quality. Using a popular postpaid plan with one of the three major phone carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon) isn't cheap. Most of them cost at least $50 per month and can get close to $100/month for a single person. You have to join the priciest plans to take advantage of many "on us" phone deals, and they frequently inflate the cost with bundled extras you might not even…

The wildest video game budgets can't hold a candle to GTA 6
The latest Grand Theft Auto is thought to be the most expensive entertainment product ever made.

Why does your Kindle even have Bluetooth?
Most people don't think of Bluetooth when powering up a Kindle e-reader for the first time. After all, most of what a Kindle does is grab new books to add to its internal storage, and they can do that via Wi-Fi or a wired connection to your computer. An internet connection lets you read Wikipedia entries, get more books and sync progress across devices. Why then do many Kindles support Bluetooth? Keep in mind…

Will Apple’s ‘revamped’ Health app with AI health coach debut next month?
Earlier this year, rumors were rampant about a revamped Health app coming to iOS 26.4. Then the project was delayed, and iOS 27 came and went, and the revamp still didn’t arrive. With the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 debuting next month, it’s worth asking: will we see the features debut alongside new hardware? First and foremost, it’s worth going over why it’s probable that the features will debut in September.…

Même les recherches et autres tests effectués dans une session laissent des traces qui restent comme les vraies informations.…

Why 1080p movies can look better than 4K movies on your TV
Resolution isn't the only thing that matters for a quality picture. At first glance, the claim seems a bit absurd: how could a 1080p image look better than 4K, a resolution with four times as many pixels? Resolution tells you how many pixels are on the screen, but it doesn't tell you how much picture information survived compression before those pixels reach your TV. Streaming services, for example, have to send all of those…
