Go wired: why Ethernet beats WiFi for your Smart TV

Switch your Smart TV from WiFi to a wired Ethernet connection for a faster, more stable streaming experience; connect a Cat5e/Cat8 cable from your router to the TV’s LAN port, then enable Wired in the TV’s settings. Netflix lists about 15 Mbps for 4K and 25 Mbps for smoother loading; Ethernet can also reduce ping for gaming and apps. While researchers have demonstrated ultra-fast speeds in labs, practical home use should stick with wired Ethernet for now.

"Google Launches Enhanced Find My Device Network, Outpacing iPhone with Surprise Android Update"

Android has officially launched its enhanced Find My Device network, utilizing a crowdsourced network to help users locate their devices even when offline. The update includes support for Bluetooth tracker tags from Chipolo and Pebblebee, with plans for compatibility with other brands later this year. The network also offers security features to prevent misuse, such as unwanted tracker alerts and limiting the frequency of location updates. Additionally, Google is expanding the network's capabilities to include locating headphones and providing proximity information through Nest hubs. The rollout begins in the US and Canada before expanding globally to Android devices running version 9 or later.

"Google Set to Launch Expanded Find My Device Network"

Google is set to launch its expanded Find My Device network in three days, allowing Android users to track missing phones and accessories using data from other Android devices. The network will help users locate compatible Fast Pair accessories when disconnected from their device and will include earbuds, headphones, and trackers. The launch was delayed due to Apple's rollout of unknown tracker alerts, but with Apple adopting a wider anti-stalking specification, the launch of Google's Find My Device network seems imminent, with some users already seeing a new setting in the latest Google Play Services beta.
