Is the chromebook good enough to do taxes with turbotax software.

Don’t buy people expensive gift, it’s waste of money, high price doesn’t mean high appreciation

  I’d rather share an experience with someone like having dinner, brunch, go to a concert together than buy them things.

  I agree, but if you have the funds and you know it’s something they can’t afford. Sometimes it’s nice to make peoples life a little bit brighter, and happier.

  Doesn’t have to be a gift. This video is also helpful for someone who’s in the market for a new laptop.

Buying someone a laptop or tablet is tricky. Unless you absolutely know the exact specs they want/need in the device, you’re taking a risk of getting them something they may not like.

Don’t hate on Touch ID, I highly prefer it, especially on an iPad where the cam is not as aligned to your face as a phone is.

This is me, and maybe something CNET may wish to look into. When looking at the OS versions. First how hard is it to learn? Once you learn it. Is it easy to use? Does the ease of use hold true even after updates over the years ( KISS ) ? Security? Reliability?

???? Uh, those video footage is NOT the Yoga 9i. It’s the Yogabook 9i which is like $2k. How embarrassing a tech channel video that’s recommending laptops doesn’t know the difference.

How to Invite Creativity into Your Life | Rose B. Simpson, Debbie Millman | TED

Published

CYBER TECH TV

What do you hear when you sit in silence? For artist Rose B. Simpson, that question is the beginning of all art. She comes from a line of ceramic artists stretching back generations and, as part of her multidisciplinary work, she also builds custom lowrider cars. (If that sounds like a contradiction, that’s kind of the point.) In conversation with “Design Matters” podcast host Debbie Millman, Simpson invites you to find your own aesthetic — not by searching, but by listening. (Recorded at TEDNext 2025 on November 10, 2025)
