If you’ve been paying attention to any kind of space news over the past few years, you already know that the race to Mars is heating up in a big way. Elon Musk and SpaceX regularly talk about the possibilities of not only traveling to the Red Planet, but actually making it livable for humans, and NASA is slowly piecing together plans for the very first manned missions to our planetary neighbor.

It’s an exciting time… as long as you’re not Bill Nye, apparently. In a recent interview with USA Today, the longtime show host and bow tie aficionado shot down dreams of humans on Mars in intense fashion.

It should come as a surprise to absolutely no one that some Instagram users get massive followings on the Facebook-owned service through the use of trickery that includes everything from following and then unfollowing others — after they got a follow back — and through the use of third-party apps that promote inauthentic likes, follows and comments.

You may see Instagram follow accounts start to drop in the coming days, and this is why. According to a company blog post, Instagram is trying to do something about the use of third-party apps that ‘grammers use to help artificially grow their audience.

Ever since NBC’s The Office went off the air in 2013, fans of the show have been clamoring for a reunion, a reboot, or a new season of the beloved sitcom. Some of the actors have suggested that they would be game for a new story set in the Office universe in recent years, including John Krasinski (Jim Halpert) in an interview or two, but there haven’t been any signs of this dream actually becoming a reality from NBC or creator Greg Daniels.

That is, until this past weekend, when Steve Carell hosted Saturday Night Live. In the middle of his monologue, Carell was interrupted by a fan in the audience who asked him about doing an Office reboot. He politely explained that while he loved the experience and the people he worked with, he didn’t think it was a great idea.

In this day and age, the Wi-Fi router is perhaps the most important piece of technology in your entire home. Without it, none of your smart gadgets and gizmos would be able to connect to the internet. It’s surprising that so many people neglect to do their research when buying a new Wi-Fi router, instead opting to just go to their local consumer electronics store to pick up the cheapest model they can find. If you’ve made that mistake in the past, it’s time to correct it and we’re here to help set you on the proper path.

Best affordable router: TP-Link TL-WR841N

Getting a good Wi-Fi router doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune. Believe it or not, you can get a pretty great router these days for less than $20! The TP-Link TL-WR841N Wi-Fi Router offers surprisingly reliable performance and great range for something that’s so shockingly inexpensive. Two 5dBi antennas offer more than enough range to cover an apartment or a small to medium-sized house, and 300Mbps data speeds are more than enough for most users. Unless you’re a hardcore gamer or you have a large family and want everyone to be able to stream high-resolution video at the same time, this affordable model is a great option.

TP-Link N300 Wireless Wi-Fi Router – 2 x 5dBi High Power Ant…: Price too low to display

Best basic mesh system: Google Wifi

People with large homes or anyone who wants a Wi-Fi system that delivers the fastest possible speeds and the best possible range will definitely want to upgrade from a regular router to a mesh Wi-Fi system. What you might not realize though, is that you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to get a good mesh wireless system. In fact, the Google Wifi System has been one of the most popular mesh systems in the world for years and it costs less than some single access point routers. Google Wifi supports gigabit speeds and its three access points are enough to cover about 4,500 sq. ft. of space, ensuring that you won’t have to worry about any dead spots in or around your house.

Google WiFi system, 3-Pack – Router replacement for whole home coverage (NLS-1304-25): $249.99

Best premium mesh system: Netgear Orbi

Google Wifi is great for basic use in most homes, but some people need a little more oomph out of their Wi-Fi system. For those people, we suggest the Netgear Orbi Ultra-Performance Whole Home Mesh WiFi System. Netgear’s Orbi system is lightning fast and infinitely expandable, so you can cover a small 1,200 sq. ft. home or a large 10,000 sq. ft. mansion with ease. The system also supports blazing fast data speeds of up to 3Gbps, so it’s beyond future-proof.

NETGEAR Orbi Ultra-Performance Whole Home Mesh WiFi System – fastest WiFi router and single sat…: $279.00

More options:

• TP-Link AC1200 Smart WiFi Router. This TP-Link model is by far the best affordable option out there for people looking for gigabit speeds and good coverage for an apartment or small to medium-sized house.
• Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 WiFi Router. If you’re a hardcore gamer who needs speed, versatility, customization, and prioritization for your video game console, it doesn’t get any better than this.
• Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band WiFi Router. This is another great option for gamers. It’s similar to the Nighthawk Pro, but dialed back a bit so it’s much less expensive.
• Motorola VDSL2/ADSL2+ Modem + Gigabit Router. If you want a single device that will take care of all your Wi-Fi needs while also replacing your cable modem so you can shave up to $120 per year off your cable bill, this is as good as it gets.
• TP-Link TC-W7960 300Mbps WiFi Cable Modem. This is also a combo device that merges a cable modem and Wi-Fi router, but it doesn’t support gigabit speeds so it’s a bit less expensive than the aforementioned Motorola model.

Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa wasn’t the first virtual personal assistant to launch, but there’s no question that it has become the best at this point. Alexa is available for free to any developers and connected device makers so they can integrate into their products, and Alexa ready devices can now be found anywhere and everywhere. That’s why it’s so important to have access to Alexa everywhere you go, and in this post we’ll show you the best Alexa smart speakers out there right now.

Best affordable Alexa speaker: Echo Dot

The Echo Dot has always been one of Amazon’s best Alexa speakers for one simple reason: it’s Amazon’s least expensive Alexa speaker. Amazon’s Echo Dot is great for placing Alexa speakers all around your home so they’re always in range, but it has historically never really offered great sound quality. Using an Echo Dot was fine for ordering products from Amazon or controlling smart home devices, but streaming music wasn’t really an option if you care at all about sound quality. Thankfully, that changes with the new 3rd-generation Echo Dot, which offers all the great features of earlier models at the same price, but with much better sound quality.

All-new Echo Dot (3rd Gen) – Smart speaker with Alexa – Charcoal: $49.99

Best sounding Alexa speaker: Echo Plus

While there’s no question that the Echo Dot is the best and most affordable way to spread Alexa around your entire home, there are a few rooms that deserve something more. The 3rd-gen Dot has better sound quality than its predecessors, but it still can’t hold a candle to the Echo Plus. This premium Alexa speaker offers the same hands-free access to Alexa, but with even better voice recognition thanks to seven microphones, beamforming technology, and noise cancellation. It also packs premium speakers and Dolby play 360° audio for fantastic sound quality that’s crystal clear at low volumes or with the sound cranked up.

All-new Echo Plus (2nd Gen) – Premium sound with built-in smart home hub – Charcoal: $149.99

Best Alexa speaker for your car: Roav Viva by Anker

Everyone knows Amazon makes a wide range of Alexa smart speakers for your home, but what happens when it’s time to leave and head somewhere in your car? Should you really be without Alexa anytime you’re not in your house? Meet the Roav Viva by Anker, a small device that looks a lot like a car charger. It fits in any cars power slot and it does include two USB ports so you can charge your phones while you drive, but it also turns your car’s sound system into one big Alexa speaker! Stream music, get turn-by-turn navigation, or give your car any Alexa commands you’d like with this awesome accessory. Trust us, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Roav Viva by Anker, Alexa-Enabled 2-Port USB Car Charger in-Car Navigation, Voice Initiated Cal…: $55.99

More options:

• Echo Dot (2nd Generation). Amazon’s 2nd-generation Echo Dot speaker got a $10 price cut when the new model was released, making it a fantastic affordable option.
• Echo (2nd Generation). The Amazon Echo smart speaker is on par with the Echo Plus, but it doesn’t quite match the Plus model in terms of sound quality. It retails for $50 less than the Plus though, and it’s a big upgrade compared to the Echo Dot.
• Echo Show. Wish your Alexa smart speaker had a nice big screen to display things like instructions, recipes, YouTube videos and more? The Echo Show is just what the doctor ordered.

In the world of mobile computing devices, there are three main categories. First you have smartphones, which are quickly replacing the second main category for younger users: laptops. But that makes the third category, tablets, even more important. Pricey notebook computers are no longer a necessity for many people, but small smartphone screens can be quite prohibitive in many instances. If you’re in the market for a new tablet to compliment your phone or to replace your dusty old laptop, we’ve got three great recommendations for you.

Best entry-level tablet: Amazon Fire 7

Even after all these years, the Amazon Fire 7 tablet’s shockingly affordable price tag still feels like a mistake whenever we see it. Amazon’s tablets deliver such a great experience and so much value, and they have access to all the apps you need for work and entertainment. The Fire 7 is no exception, packing all that and more into a compact 7-inch device that’s easy to take with you anywhere. Alexa is included as an added bonus, so you can ask it all the questions you want, order products from Amazon with your voice, or control all your smart home gadgets.

Fire 7 Tablet with Alexa, 7″ Display, 8 GB, Black – with Special Offers: $49.99

Best mid-range tablet: Amazon Fire HD 8

Have you ever heard the phrase, “everything you can do, I can do better”? Well that’s exactly how the Amazon Fire HD 8 compares to the Fire 7 tablet. It offers the same great software and all the features from its smaller sibling, but there are a bunch of bonuses you get for a modest price increase. For one thing, you get a larger display with stunning 1280 x 800 resolution. You also get more RAM, 10 hours of battery life, and hands-free Alexa so you don’t even have to touch your tablet when you give Alexa commands!

All-New Fire HD 8 Tablet | 8″ HD Display, 16 GB, Black – with Special Offers: $79.99

Best high-end tablet: Apple iPad Pro (11-inch)

It should go without saying at this point that if you want the best possible experience from a tablet and you’re willing to pay a premium, Apple’s iPad lineup is as good as it gets. And of course it should also go without saying that the just-released iPad Pro models give users the best iPad experience Apple has ever offered. The new design is stunning, the Retina display and narrow bezels are gorgeous, and the A12X Bionic chip delivers more power than you’ll get out of even some of the most powerful laptops on the market.

Apple iPad Pro (11-inch, Wi-Fi, 64GB) – Space Gray (Latest Model): $799.00

More options:

• Fire HD 10 Tablet. Amazon’s Fire HD 10 tablet is just like the Fire HD 8, but it has a larger display that’s perfect for watching movies. It also has hands-free Alexa voice control, so it doubles as an Echo, too!
• Apple iPad Pro (12.9-inch). If you’re looking for a high-end tablet with the largest possible display and the most power available, the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro is the only way to go.
• Apple iPad. You don’t need to spend an arm and a leg on an iPad Pro to get a terrific iOS tablet, and Apple’s latest entry-level iPad is a great reminder of that.
• Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1″. Amazon’s Fire tablets are the best Android tablets in the business, but Samsung makes some sweet tablets too, and the newest Galaxy Tab A is a great option.
• Microsoft Surface Pro. If you’re looking for a tablet form factor that’s actually a full-blown Windows PC, the 5th-generation Microsoft Surface Pro is the best option out there.
