Unlock These TCL TV Features for Smoother Gaming and Movie Viewing

TCL TVs offer hidden features to upgrade both gaming and movie watching: enable Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and HDMI 2.1 enhancements for smoother gameplay, use Match Content Frame Rate to align TV playback with 24fps films for reduced judder, mirror your phone with AirPlay or Chromecast, and enable Filmmaker Mode (now on newer TCL models) to preserve the director’s intent—often with Auto Content Recognition to switch modes automatically; note that the exact menu names vary by OS (Google TV, Fire TV, Android TV, Roku) and firmware.

Bose Lifestyle Ultra: strong compact sound begs for a stereo pair

CNET’s review finds the Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speaker to be a stylish, compact smart speaker with punchy bass and a wider soundstage thanks to a height driver. It supports Google Cast, Apple AirPlay and Bluetooth (not portable) and can be used solo or as part of a stereo pair or as rear speakers with the Lifestyle Soundbar. Setup via the Bose app is straightforward, but software updates can take about 10 minutes per speaker. It isn’t backward-compatible with older Bose Wi‑Fi speakers and it doesn’t natively support hi-res 24-bit/192 kHz audio. Compared with Sonos Era models, the Ultra sounds better than Era 100 but not as expansive as Era 300; two units are recommended for true stereo. Price is $299 each, with a $70 discount when buying as a stereo pair.

Security Pros Urge Turning Off Auto AirPlay on iPhone to Cut Risk

Cybersecurity experts say leaving iPhone's Automatically Airplay setting enabled can create risk by allowing automatic nearby connections, though it does not automatically grant access to all data. They advise turning off unused connectivity or setting AirPlay to 'Ask' (instead of 'Automatic'), and to be mindful of connectivity settings after iOS updates, which can reset defaults to less secure options.

iOS 27 could bring native third-party casting (Google Cast) in Europe to satisfy the DMA

Apple reportedly plans to add system-level support for third-party streaming protocols like Google Cast in iOS 27 to comply with the EU’s Digital Markets Act, potentially letting users choose a non‑AirPlay default for beaming media to speakers and TVs; the rollout is expected to be EU‑only and may not appear elsewhere anytime soon.
