The pain caused by HBO’s final season of Game of Thrones is still too new to allow us to fully appreciate what we lost when the series concluded earlier this year. Yes, season 8 was nothing short of an utter travesty and fans will never forgive showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss for butchering the script so badly. But if you can step back for a moment and think about the bigger picture, there’s nothing else on television that even comes close to achieving what Game of Thrones achieved. The incredible scale of the show was absolutely epic; try as they might, no other series even comes close. On top of that, the quality of acting and storytelling were completely unrivaled through the first six or seven seasons, depending on who you ask. It was an epic show and a tremendous accomplishment, and now it’s all over. Since Game of Thrones has now concluded, big studios are scrambling to create new fantasy series that might replace it as our next big obsession. HBO itself has two new ...

Some deals fall squarely in the “no-brainer” category and this is definitely one of them. Everyone loves Wi-Fi smart plugs because they let you control all your dumb devices with an app or with your voice. You can use them with lamps, fans, coffee makers, space heaters, and so much more. Amazon makes its own smart plug, and it sells for the somewhat lofty price of $25. But if you’re a Prime member and you get an Amazon Smart Plug right now using the coupon code AMZNPLUG at checkout, you’ll only pay $5! No, seriously, look at this screenshot! This deal is straight-up bonkers, and you would have to be nuts to pass it up. It’s supposed to be available through the end of next month, but we have a feeling it’ll sell out long before then so hurry up! Amazon Smart Plug, works with Alexa : $5.00 (use code AMZNPLUG) Here’s some additional info from the product page: Amazon Smart Plug works with Alexa to add voice control to any outlet.

Apple’s next-generation iPhone 11 lineup might end up looking a whole like like last year’s iPhone XS and 2017’s iPhone X, but it’s still shaping up to be a pretty huge upgrade. The new Apple A13 processor is expected to offer massive performance gains and important improvements in efficiency, resulting in much faster phones with at least the same battery life as last year’s models. The design of the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max will get a big overhaul, with frosted glass backs and other big changes. There will also be plenty of new features to enjoy, such as reverse wireless charging and a new photography mode that captures content outside the frame, allowing you to re-crop your shots after you take them. And speaking of photography, that’s where the most significant improvements are likely to be found. Once upon a time not so long ago, Apple was the undisputed champion of smartphone cameras and the gap between iPhones and Android phones was massive. Then, a f...
