  • Quick Information - Longer Editorial

    Well informed considerations about tech, the industry and its far reaching effect on culture and society. Then, shorter snippets of news in a bit seemingly sponsored by Amazon (?).

  • Digging the new format.

    Twice a day tech podcast is a good way for me to stay on top of lots of different things.I’ve been an Engadget reader for a while and it’s nice to have an audio version for my ride on the train each morning.

  • Just a guy reading press releases... badly

    If you’re looking for a daily podcast that mindlessly reads tech companies’ press releases verbatim, then this is the podcast for you. If you’re looking for thoughtful analysis or actual reporting, maybe you should look elsewhere. Like The Verge. Because the soul of Engadget is gone and this is the soleless husk of journalism.

Is there any benefit to keeping your smart TV in standby mode?
Q: Is there any benefit to keeping your smart TV in standby mode?
Yes. Standby keeps the TV ready to update software and apps in the background, reduces boot times when you power on, and supports panel maintenance like pixel refresh on OLED displays, which helps prevent burn-in and improves long-term reliability.
