Activity trackers are popular these days, and there's no bigger brand in the space than Fitbit. While activity trackers are mainly used by adults, a growing number of them are designed just for kids, along with models that are suitable for older kids to wear. The newest model for young ones is the Fitbit Ace 3 , which offers some simple yet meaningful updates over the previous-generation Ace 2, making it the best kids Fitbit you can get. But depending on how it will be used, there are other Fitbits worth considering, too. Best overall: Fitbit Ace 3 Fitbit's latest device, this one, is designed specifically for kids aged 6 and older. As an update to the previous-generation Ace 2, the main upgrades include longer battery life at up to eight days versus five, more animated clock face characters that change and grow as the child works toward reaching their daily goals, new modes like do not disturb, sleep (which halts notifications and dims the screen), and water lock, which de

Not all Android app experiences are equal, and Microsoft knows it. Windows 11 will be coming soon(ish) to millions of desktops and laptops, and it has a really cool feature that we're kind of excited to see: it can run Android apps. Awesome, right? You can install all the best Android apps that you use on the best Android phones right on your laptop, and it's some sort of concoction that has the best of both worlds in it. I'm sorry to burst your bubble. Really, I am. But that's not the experience you'll have because Android apps on Windows 11 are missing one very important ingredient : Google (and the Google Play Store). Microsoft is making it super easy to use Amazon's Appstore, and you'll be able to sideload a lot of other Android apps , but neither option will give you what you really wanted, which is to have apps that work just like they do on your phone. Instead, you have an experience that's more like the one available on a Huawei phone

If you use one of the best Android phones around, you're probably also aware that much of what you do is being monitored. It's no secret that Google harvests your information to provide you with a variety of services. Things like Smart Replies and writing suggestions are handy, for sure. But they come at the cost of Google essentially reading your emails. It's for that reason that you might want to disable those features for the sake of more privacy. We've already shown you how to disable Smart compose on a Pixel keyboard. Now you can disable smart features in Gmail. It's simple to do, and we'll show you how. How to disable Gmail smart features The best way to disable those smart features is by opening Gmail in your browser . Click the Settings cog in the upper right corner of Gmail.

The Montreal Canadiens and the Tampa Bay Lightning were the winners of this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs which means the two teams will meet on the ice for a best-of-five series to determine who will win this year's NHL championship and we have all the details on how you can watch the Stanley Cup Finals on TV or online. The Stanley Cup Finals will take place over the next two weeks from June 28 through July 11 and a possible seven games will be played across the U.S. and Canada. Play will be split between the Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay, Florida and the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada so that no team has an unfair home-ice advantage as is the tradition. While both the Canadiens and the Lightning have held the Stanley Cup in the past, the Canadiens haven't won the NHL championship since 1993. The Lightning meanwhile is returning to the Stanley Cup Finals after facing off against and defeating the Dallas Stars 2-0 during Game 6 last year. As Tampa Bay looks to build a dyn

Huawei's latest high-end tablet looks like an iPad and runs Android apps but is powered by its brand new HarmonyOS platform. Huawei's Android tablets have often been the poor cousins of the company's smartphones. In years past, its EMUI software just wasn't a great fit for the high-end tablet hardware Huawei was putting out. So the move to the new HarmonyOS platform represents an opportunity to start afresh, with new software that fits neatly into Huawei's new ecosystem. Despite the fact that it runs Android apps, Huawei is positioning HarmonyOS as very much its own operating system. And although at first glance (OK, maybe second glance and third glance too) it looks like an iPad, anyone buying the new 12.6-inch MatePad Pro will need to be content existing within Huawei's much smaller ecosystem. So we're left with a familiar conundrum: Huawei's tablet hardware is better than it's ever been, and HarmonyOS is indeed a better fit for a tablet tha
