Amazon’s Fire TV brand is known far and wide, especially among cord cutters.

There’s a relatively new device in Amazon’s lineup that you might not know about though, but it’s a must-have for any cord cutters (or cord nevers) who enjoy free OTA network television. It’s called the Fire TV Recast and it packs everything you love about Fire TVs but adds a DVR into the mix so you can record shows and even pause or rewind live TV! It comes in two different capacities and each one is on sale right now at a discount.

Fire TV Recast, over-the-air DVR, 500 GB, 75 hours: $189.99

When Microsoft first launched Windows 10 a few years ago, users quickly discovered that the operating system would collect and send data about them back to Microsoft unless explicitly told not to.

In the years that followed, Microsoft created a Privacy Dashboard that would let all Windows 10 users better manage their privacy settings and prevent data from being sent to Microsoft’s servers. A new report now reveals that Microsoft may still be collecting some data from your Windows 10 device, even if you thought it wasn’t.

As part of Apple’s never-ending efforts to make its products thinner and lighter, a new report from ETNews relays that one of Apple’s next-gen 2019 iPhone models may include a new touch-integrated OLED display. With current iPhone models housing a separate touch panel, integrating everything into a single display could result in a substantial reduction in weight.

The rumored OLED panels will, of course, come from Samsung Display, and are reportedly called ‘Y-OCTA’ displays. According to the report, Samsung just this month managed to produce a batch of displays that were up to par with Apple’s stringent quality standards.

Now that the weather is getting colder, the air pressure in your tires has gotten low and you need to fill them up. So which sounds like the better option? Your first choice is to head over to your local gas station, pop quarters in their air pump, get grease all over yourself as you fill three tires, get angry when time runs out before you fill your fourth tire, find a gas station attendant to change a dollar, and get more grease all over yourself as you finally fill your fourth tire. OR… pop the DBPOWER Portable Mini 12V Tire Inflator you bought on Amazon for $12 out of your trunk, plug it into the power port in your car, and fill up all four of your tires while your car sits in your nice warm garage. Yeah, we thought so.

DBPOWER Portable Mini 12V Tire Inflator, Auto Air Compressor for Cars, Bikes, Motorcycles and I…: $11.99

Here are the highlights from the product page:

• 【VERSATILE AND USEFUL】 This mini-sized DBPOWER tire inflator is a very useful tool to have in your car or garage. It’s so compact then it can be held in your hand. Designed to inflate tires for cars, bikes and motorcycles, it can be use with an array of other inflatables thanks to the 3 nozzle adaptors included. It’s a great companion to have with you on the road, on a trip, or vacation.
• 【EASY AND FAST TO USE】 It may be compact, but it is not lacking in inflation power! It will inflate a standard mid-sized car tire from 0-35 psi in 10 minutes. You may be thinking this is not that fast, but considering this pump can fit in the palm of your hand, it’s a pretty impressive speed. Simply plug into a car cigarette lighter socket, start inflating and manually turn off the compressor once the desired pressure has been reached.
• 【COMPACT SIZE FOR EASY STORAGE】 One of the best benefits of this tire pump has to be its size. Designed small and light, it can easily be held with one hand. This makes it great to use for inflating smaller items such as sports balls. It really doesn’t take up any space at all and can easily be stored in places such as a glovebox or under a car seat.
• 【LONGER POWER CORD】 The charging cable is 3m long enabling you to reach all four car tires of even longer model cars without difficulties! Don’t be inconvenienced or annoyed again by those inferior air pumps that can barely reach the back tires!
• 【BUY WITH CONFIDENCE】 All customers are backed by our 12-month “No Questions Asked” warranty. Tech support and professional customer service are available should you have any problems.

It’s no secret that the US is in the midst of an opioid crisis. Addiction statistics and overdose rates have climbed so high that they’re actually beginning to affect overall life expectancy for US citizens, leaving health officials scrambling to manage the huge number of opioid prescriptions that are handed out from coast to coast.

Now, in what might be the start of a trend, two doctors in separate cases are facing real consequences for handing out prescription opioids to people who definitely shouldn’t have had access to them.

Apple is a company that likes control, which is why the company has long preferred to own all of the underlying technologies that go into its products. This approach is what compelled Apple to start designing its own processors for the iPhone. Further, Apple’s appetite for control is why rumors that the company may ultimately do away with Intel processors on the Mac should be taken seriously.

In light of that, a wild new report from The Information relays that Apple has been busy working on developing its own cellular modem technology for future iterations of the iPhone. Interestingly, Apple’s work in this area reportedly can be traced back to the company’s ongoing legal dispute with Qualcomm over iPhone royalty payments. Incidentally, Apple has since dropped Qualcomm as a modem supplier and now relies on Intel for its cellular modems needs.
