  That’s like saying iPhones are Samsung because Samsung makes the display. You both are silly

24” ONN smart TV I bought is fantastic and so affordable.
I stream a lot of YouTube videos to my TV’s (I have 2 of them) Works beautifully!
The remote is also easy to use!

4:15 I’ve been using private listening with the Roku remote for years. I guess I missed the point of this comment. I only use the app to search for content.

  It works in either orientation. Sony’s literature has it with the drive underneath. So, the label on the BD faces up. Some people prefer to have the drive on the right. Nobody should care how others place their PS5.

This new way of treating depression starts with rewiring the brain #TEDTalks

The idea that depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain has shaped treatment for decades. Neuroscientist Lisa Monteggia shares research suggesting that’s not the whole story — and shows how a decades-old drug could upend what we thought we knew about depression, with the potential to offer relief within hours.

How to Make Learning Impossibly Fun | Mark Rober | TED

CYBER TECH TV

What if science class felt less like studying out of a textbook and more like an unforgettable field trip? From viral glitter-bomb traps to backyard engineering marvels, former-NASA-engineer-turned-YouTuber Mark Rober has spent years proving that curiosity is contagious — and that the best way to teach science is to make it impossibly fun. In conversation with TED’s Whitney Pennington Rodgers, Rober shares how play, wonder and a healthy dose of mischief can transform the way kids learn … and gives a peek inside his plan to bring magic to every classroom in America. (This conversation was part of an exclusive TED Membership event. TED Membership is the best way to support and engage with the big ideas you love from TED. To learn more, visit ted.com/membership.) (Recorded at TED Membership on July 29, 2026])
