NVIDIA, You Had One Job: Install the Driver

The NVIDIA app recommended a new Game Ready Driver, gave me a big green Install button, then told me the driver isn’t compatible with my Windows and can’t find my graphics hardware. Installing a driver shouldn’t be this hard.

Connecticut Promised Me Apple Wallet in 2021. I Got Another App.

Five years after Connecticut said it would be one of the first states with driver’s licenses in Apple Wallet, its Mobile ID launches as a separate app instead, with Wallet support pushed to 2027. Here’s how that ends.

Apple Built a $299 Kitchen Screen. It Can’t Run YouTube or My Recipe App.

Apple’s new HomeView is built for the kitchen, but it has no App Store, no YouTube app, and no way to run a recipe manager like Paprika. Watching YouTube in Safari on a 7-inch square screen is not a plan.

Everyone Loves the Apple TV. Then a Kid Picks Up the Remote.

Tech media loves the Apple TV, but its touchy Siri Remote is a disaster with kids. I swapped it for a $38 button remote, and at $299 versus $149.99, the Roku Ultra makes a lot more sense, home-screen ads and all.

Messenger syncs across every device I own and lets Siri send messages from my car. But unlike WhatsApp and Apple Messages, it won’t read me the replies.

Why YouTube TV Won’t Autoplay on Some of My Roku Devices (and Works Everywhere Else)

If you’ve opened YouTube TV and found a dead, silent home screen where a live video should be playing, you’re not imagining it. I’ve been chasing this for a while, and it’s one of the more annoying tech mysteries in my house. The setup YouTube TV has an “autoplay on start” option. You find it…
