This episode is brought to you by Quince. Shaking off that summer routine and getting back into things means you don't have time to worry about what to wear. You've got kids to get ready for school, planning that needs to get done for the next quarter, or whatever else is on your plate heading into fall. But Quince has your back. You see, they make creating a stylish functional wardrobe easy with timeless versatile pieces. And it's all high quality too, without the insane brand markup you see at other companies. Now that's because Quince works directly with ethical factories. So they pass those savings to you. Now that the weather is cooling off, I love wearing my Pro-Tech Golf Pants I picked up from Quince, because now that fall is a-coming, it's time to ditch the shorts and get pantsed up. I love these pants, folks, because they look so stylish and are incredibly comfy. You should try them if you want to look good while feeling good. And you know, I found it's really easy to mix and match their pieces. I mean, I can wear those same Pro-Tech Golf Pants with just about any shirt or sweater combo. Or take their cashmere sweater. It can go with either a pair of their jeans or chinos, or lounge pants. Quince also has an impressive selection of home goods, like quality bed linens and towels, or furniture for dorm rooms, also made with the same quality and care that goes into their clothing, by the way.

Move over, Apple. Peloton has made a foldable treadmill. We'll talk more about it in moments, but first, there's a lot to talk about when comparing the different digital wallets on the market, but two parties in particular spark an important debate. Samsung and Google offer their own solutions and are both found on the Samsung family of devices.

Therefore, if you've already evaluated the pros and cons of digital wallets in general, you'll need to make a choice between the two offerings if you're rocking a Samsung phone. Naturally, both Samsung and Google wallets offer similar services. Both can store credit and debit cards, tickets, loyalty cards, membership cards, boarding passes or keys, house keys, and certain forms of ID. They also both have the ability to upload physical passes through your camera, a feature that is only now coming to Apple Wallet with iOS 27

However, there are clear differences in utility between Samsung and Google wallets, and both have strengths in different niches, including ID storage, crypto, and much more. Head over to engadget.com where Jack Peechee tells us more. Google vs Samsung, what features set their digital wallets apart?

Eventually, your aging computer will no longer receive new security patches. Windows 10 reached its end of life in October 2025, though extended security updates are still offered through October 2027 Older Macs will reach end of life status before long, too. With macOS 27 dropping support for Intel Macs, security patches will only last as long as macOS 26 is supported. But losing software support doesn't automatically make the underlying hardware obsolete. Even if your old computer feels slow, an alternative operating system like Google's Chrome OS might be all you need to make it useful again. Chrome OS requires fewer resources than Windows and typically offers a smoother experience on lower-end computers, making it a good choice for extending the life of an old PC. Historically, the only way to access Chrome OS was to buy a Chromebook with it pre-installed. But that changed a few years ago when Google introduced Chrome OS Flex, an official way to install the operating system on your own hardware. The process only takes about an hour, and you may already have everything you need to get started.
