+Nothing will [improve your morning coffee](tk) like making the switch to whole bean coffee freshly ground just before you brew. 
+
+The first step is to get some high quality, freshly roasted whole bean coffee. We suggest visiting your local coffee roaster. I've been able to pick up bulk bags of beans from my local roaster (([Jittery Joe's Roasting Company](https://jitteryjoes.com/)) even during the coronavirus lockdown. It's worth calling your local favorites to see if you can do the same. If you don't have any coffee roasters in your area, you can always order some quality beans online.
+
+We've enjoyed beans from [Grounds and Hounds](https://groundsandhoundscoffee.com/) and [Atlas Coffee Club](https://atlascoffeeclub.com/). If you're unsure which variety of coffee to get, try a subscription service that sends new beans every few weeks. [Blue Bottle Coffee](https://fave.co/2WAOo9P){: rel=nofollow}, [Atlas Coffee Club](https://atlascoffeeclub.com/collections/coffee-subscription-service){: rel=nofollow}, and [Angel's Cup](https://angelscup.com/subscribe){: rel=nofollow}, will all bring a different variety of freshly roasted beans to your door every month.
+
+Once you've got your beans, it's time to grind. Here's our guide to the best coffee grinders. Be sure to read through our other coffee guides as well, like the [best latte and cappuccino machines](), the [best portable coffee makers](), and the [best portable espresso makers]().
+
+
+Hario 
+
+This smaller Hario is the first grinder I ever used. It's perfect for a shot of espresso or even a small mokapot. It doesn't grind as fast as the Skerton, but thanks the plastic construction it's much lighter and safer to throw in your bag when you travel. There's also the slightly larger and more expensive [Mini Slim Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GZXYBWF/){: rel=nofollow}. Grind-wise this one is about the same. I don't like it as much because you can't see how much coffee you've ground. 
+

+
+Oxo's Brew grinder offers the best balance of features, usefulness, and relatively low price in any of the electric grinders I've used. It's not silent by any means, but it's also not too loud, and it grinds quickly. It has 18 different settings, covering every brewing scenario from finely ground espresso to course ground perfect for a French press. It's slim, narrow profile doesn't hog counter space, though it is tall so it may be a tight fit under the cabinet (not that it doesn't fit, but remember, you still have to take the lid off and pour in beans). The version below adds a scale which will help you dial in the perfect grind and amount a little faster, but after a few mornings of experimenting, I had it dialed in the way I wanted it and don't see the need for a scale in most cases.
+
+Breville's Smart Grinder Pro brings no less than 60 grind options to your counter, complete with a fully programmable interface. This makes a nice upgrade for those homes where there's several coffee lovers, all brewing differently. Switching between grinds is simple, in fact the whole user interface of this machine is incredibly easy to use, and the results are also excellent. My only complaint is that, like Skerton Pro, the coarse results are not as even as the grinds at other settings. So long as you're not a French press drinker though, the results and ease of use here justify the price tag.
+
+settings into a streamlined design. We put the programmable conical burr grinder through its paces, turning multiple types of coffee beans, from light roast to robust, into fine, medium, or coarse grounds. Was the complex machine (and popular gift for foodies) easy to control? Could it produce consistent results? And most importantly, did it perform well enough to justify the high price tag? We’ve made a decision.

+Drone-maker DJI announced an update to its popular Mavic Air quadcopter today. The Mavic Air 2 costs $799 and will ship to U.S. buyers in late May. That's the same price as the previous model, and keeps the Mavic Air as the mid-range option between the more capable Mavic 2 and the smaller, cheaper Mavic Mini.
+
+The Mavic Air is still plenty small, but new version has put on some weight. DJI tells WIRED that testing and consumer surveys suggested that most people don't mind the new extra grams in exchange for the considerably upgraded flight time and, presumably, better handling in windy conditions. Even better, thanks to new rotors, electronic speed controllers, and some aerodynamic improvement, DJI is claiming the Mavic Air 2 can remain aloft for 34 minutes.
+
+###tk
+
+The big news in this update is the new larger camera sensor. The Mavic Air 2 ships with a half inch sensor, up from the 1-2/3 sensor found in the previous model. That should mean better resolution and sharper images, especially because the output specs haven't changed much. That means new camera is still outputting 12-megapixel stills, but now with bigger sensor to fill in more detail. There's also a new 48-megapixel composite image option that we're looking forward to testing. 
+
+On the video side there's some exciting news, the Mavic Air 2 is DJI's first drone to offer 4K video at 60 fps and 120Mbps. There's also four-times slow motion in 1080p at 120 fps, or eight-times slow motion in 1080 at 240 fps. Combine those modes with HDR video and you have considerably improved video capabilities in a sub-$1000 package.
+
+More interesting in some ways is DJI's increasing forays into [computational photography](https://www.wired.com/story/google-pixel-3-camera-features/), known as Smart Photo mode. Flip on Smart Photo and the Mavic Air 2 will do scene analysis, tap its deep learning algorithm and automatically choose between a variety of photo modes. There's a scene recognition mode where the Mavic Air 2 recognizes some common shooting scenarios your likely to encounter with a drone, including blue skies, sunsets, snow, grass, and trees. In each case exposure is adjusted to optimize tone and detail. 
+
+The second mode the Air 2's Smart Photo uses is dubbed Hyperlight, which handles low-light situations. To judge by DJI's promo materials, this is essentially HDR specifically optimized for low-light scenes. It purportedly cuts noise and produces more detailed images. The final smart mode is HDR, which makes a high dynamic range composite image from seven images.
+
+###Automatic Flight for the People
+
+If you dig through older YouTube videos there's a ton of movies that go like this: unbox new drone, head outside, take off, tree gets closer, closer, closer, black screen. Most of us just aren't that good at flying and the learning curve can be expensive and steep. Thankfully drones began automating away most of what's difficult and the Mavic Air 2 is no exception. 
+
+DJI has quite a few new automated flight tricks to the Air's arsenal, including one borrowed from the company's high-end professional model, the Inspire. DJI's Active Track has been updated to version 3.0, which bring better subject recognition algorithms and some new 3D mapping tricks to make it easier to track people through a scene. DJI claims the Point of Interest mode—which allows you to select and object and fly around it while the camera tracks it—is better at some of the places previous versions struggled, like tracking vehicles or even people.
+
+The most exciting new flight mode though is Spotlight, which comes from DJI's DLSR-toting Inspire drones. Similar to the Active Track mode, Spotlight keeps the camera on a subject, but allows you to retain control of the flight path. Think Active Track but you retain full flight control.
+
+The range of the new Mavic Air is an impressive six miles. The caveat being you should always maintain eye contact with your drone, and you aren't going to see the Mavic Mini 2 at two miles, let alone six.
+
+Despite a dearth of competitors, DJI continues to improve its lineup. The Mavic Air 2 looks like an impressive update to what was already one of [our favorite drones](https://www.wired.com/gallery/best-drones/), especially considering several features—the 60 fps 4K video and 34 minute flight time—are better than the more expensive Mavic 2 Pro.

+Fujifilm’s iconic X100 series is my favorite always-there camera. It’s light, portable, and produces great images -- throw it in your bag and it won’t let you down. The latest iteration, the X100V, brings a new lens (35mm equivalent f/2), tilting rear screen, and an improved viewfinder. The body is now aluminium, but retains the iconic look of past X100 models.
+
+The new tilting screen allows shooting from the hip or overhead. Together with the speedier autofocus, bright hybrid viewfinder, and well-designed manual controls, capturing the scene is a breeze. 
+
+The X100V's 24-megapixel APS-C sensor produces print-worthy images, especially using Fujifilm's film simulations. I can never decide between monochrome and color so I shoot in film simulation bracket mode, which captures three different film simulations every time I press the shutter.

+Fujifilm's X100 series has long been one of the finest cameras you can shove in your pocket. The latest version brings a brand new lens (still 35mm equivalent), tilting rear screen, and weather sealing (with some caveats). 
+
+The X100V now sports an aluminum body, but fear not, it still looks like an X100. The design is refined, dials are larger, corners sharper, but it's still the X100. To that end there's a slew of things that have not changed, like the near silent leaf shutter, great fill flash, excellent Fuji JPEG quality, and the comfortable, natural feel in the hand. 
+
+### Made for the Street
+
+Fujifilm's rangefinder style cameras, like the X-Pro 3 and this new X100V, have an extremely high image quality to size ratio. Do DSLRs like the Nikon D3 have a higher pixel count? Sure, but try walking around town with D3 in your hand for a few hours and tell me which you prefer.
+
+One of the reasons the X100 series has been so popular with street photographers is that it's discrete. Shooting on the street is an exercise in vision, but also discretion. Shoving a huge DSLR in someone's face is very different than unobtrusively firing off a quick shot with the X100V. Walking around with the X100V it feels like a minor extension of yourself, a barely noticeable thing in the hand. I never had anyone object to me snapping away with the X100V the way people occasionally do when I shoot with a DSLR. 
+
+The X100V's new tilting screen ups the game in this regard, making it easier to shoot from the hip. The screen is bright and clear even in direct sunlight, making it (relatively, assuming your eyes are good) easy to see even at waist level. The screen also tilts downward enough to see what you're doing when shooting overhead. 
+
+The other big change in this update is the new lens. These days about the only thing that starts to feel dated in a camera is auto-focus speeds. And earlier models of the X100 series were showing their age in that regard. I'm happy to report that the new lens and autofocus system are plenty speedy. 
+
+The new lens is completely redesigned, with 8 elements in 6 groups and a new 4-stop neutral density filter (previous X100s had a 3-stop filter) The new lens is the same size though, so any accessories you have from older models will still work.
+
+The best thing about the new lens, aside from the faster autofocus is that it's possible to shoot wide open, even at the minimum focal distance. Even the previous model, the X100F, was unusably soft wide open and close-focused. This new lens solves that issue and to my eye, that's the biggest selling point after the improved autofocus.  
+
+Given the street-friendly history of the X100 series I would have loved to see Fujifilm do a true manual focus system here with barrel marks and the whole bit, which would be great for zone focusing, but the manual focus system is unchanged from previous versions.
+
+I usually shoot with single point focus mode, using a combination of exposure lock and a half press of the shutter to control focus and exposure within the scene. This tends to work well no matter which camera I'm using, but it's especially effective on the X100V where all those things have dedicated buttons and dials. I also love the ability to shoot bracketed film simulations. 
+
+Speaking of buttons, Fujifilm has removed the D-pad, just like it did with the X-Pro 3. I find the joystick controller works better in most cases -- especially controlling the focus point -- but it does mean there are fewer buttons. The Q button has also been moved further from the rest of the back buttons. 
+
+One thing that tripped me up at first is that new ISO dial on the X100V stays up when you pull it. You rotate it to the ISO you want and press it down again to lock that ISO in. That's very different from the traditional pull up, hold, turn model found in, well, almost every other camera I've ever used (including the recent X-Pro3). It takes some getting used to, especially if you like using the dial to change ISO.
+
+Other changes from the previous X100F include changes to the optical viewfinder. It's now the same eyepiece as the X-Pro3, with 0.52 magnification and 95% coverage (up from the .50 magnification and 92% coverage of the X100F). The electronic viewfinder is also much brighter and sharper at 3.6 million dots OLED compared to 2.36 million dot LCD in the X100F.
+
+The X100V also does 4K 30-frames-per-second video and 1080 slo-mo video at 120fps. You also get the new in-camera Clarity and Curve tools that arrived with the X-Pro3, which make the customization options for Fujifilm's various JPG effect more or less infinite. It can take some time, but you can really dial in the looks you want.
+
+Perhaps the most curious new feature in the X100V is the new "weather resistant" claim. The X100V is weather resistant, but the lens is not, which means you'll need to pick up the filter adapter and a UV filter to seal the lens, before achieving weather resistance. So really, it's not weather resistant out of the box.
+
+The only other thing I didn't particularly like about the X100V is the touchscreen. It's not that doesn't work. It works great, but on a camera this size I find it gets in the way as much as it helps. The touch to focus feature especially gets in my way. I tend to bump the screen with my palm and find the focus point is way off in the corner when I bring it to my face. Luckily it's easy to disable to touchscreen altogether, and with the wealth of customizable buttons, I don't miss it at all.
+
+In fact, the longer I used the X100V, the less I missed, well anything. This is a camera Fujifilm has been honing for years now and with the X100V I believe they've nailed it.

+Many of us are sheltering in place, which probably means forgoing that morning trip to the coffee shop. Fear not though, it's possible to make coffee house quality coffee in your own kitchen.
+
+Engineering a better cup of coffee isn't difficult. First though, you need to know what "better" means to you. There is no single "right" cup of coffee, there's just the best version of what you love. Do you love your coffee rich and dark, thick enough to stand a spoon in as my grandfather used to say? Or do you prefer something brighter, more of a medium roast that doesn't overwhelm you with bitterness? Or perhaps you prefer a light coffee with some cream and sugar. 
+
+Once you figure out what you like, then you can start to improve it until you hit on a home brewed cup of coffee you love more than anything the local coffee shop has to offer. And make no mistake, I still spend my days at the coffee shop, working and enjoying coffee I did not make. Or at least I did, and I hope to again, but I also know that if coffee shops for some reason disappear from the world tomorrow, I can still enjoy a great cup of coffee at home.
+
+###The Daily Grind 
+
+When it comes to food, the better your ingredients the better your meals. The same is true of coffee. You have to start with good beans. That doesn't mean you need to spend a fortune on rare beans that have been crapped out by a civet (yes, that's a thing), but it does mean that this is the place to start if you want to brew a better cup at home.
+
+I'll start with the most obvious upgrade: nothing will improve your coffee experience more than switching from pre-ground coffee to whole bean coffee you grind yourself shortly before making it. 
+
+The flavor (and caffeine boost) of coffee comes from the oils inside the bean. Once that bean is ground up those oils begin to break down. Ground coffee generally has a shelf life of less than a week. In most cases the ground coffee you see in the supermarket will have been on the shelf far longer than that. This is why I suggest you buy whole bean coffee and grind it yourself.
+
+I know what you're thinking, that's a pain. But it's really not. Good coffee grinders make it totally painless and fast. I like to hand grind because I enjoy the process of it—I use the Hario Skerton Pro ([$50 Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXJI90S/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}, [$54 World Market](https://fave.co/2VBLfX5){: rel=nofollow}). My wife is considerably more pragmatic and uses Oxo's Brew Electric Grinder ([$100 Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/OXO-BREW-Conical-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B07CSKGLMM){: rel=nofollow}, [$100 Williams Sonoma](https://fave.co/3bfrlrw){: rel=nofollow}) which will spit out freshly ground coffee in about 20 seconds. Do you have 20 extra seconds in the morning to radically improve your morning coffee? Yes, you do.
+
+###Upgrade Your Beans
+
+Now that you have a nice grinder to freshly grind your coffee, which beans should you buy? This again becomes a matter of personal taste. If you like lighter, brighter coffee you'll want to go with light or medium roast coffee. If you like things darker and richer, go with a dark roast. 
+
+Whole bean coffee stored in a cool dry place will last up to a month. At least that's what coffee purists will tell you. Personally, I buy in bulk every two months and I can't tell any difference between the end of the old beans and the fresh new beans. I do, however, buy from a local supplier to ensure that the beans are as fresh as possible ([Jittery Joe's Roasting Company](https://jitteryjoes.com/) in Athens GA). 
+
+That said, I have enjoyed beans from [Grounds and Hounds](https://groundsandhoundscoffee.com/), [Atlas Coffee Club](https://atlascoffeeclub.com/), and other online coffee companies as well. If you're unsure what you like, try a subscription service that sends new beans every few weeks.
+
+[Blue Bottle Coffee](https://fave.co/2WAOo9P){: rel=nofollow} has subscriptions that make a great gift. The aforementioned [Atlas Coffee Club](https://atlascoffeeclub.com/collections/coffee-subscription-service){: rel=nofollow} also brings a different variety of freshly roasted beans to your door every month. Another fun one is [Angel's Cup](https://angelscup.com/subscribe){: rel=nofollow}, which sends samples in unmarked bags for unbiased, blind taste testing.
+
+Once you've settled on a type of bean you like, I suggest then trying to find it in an ecologically friendly dealer. The best bet for this is shade grown coffee. Unfortunately this term by itself means nothing, it's just marketing. After considerable research, the certification that seems to have the best guarantee your coffee is both organic and shade-grown in an ecologically-friendly manner is the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center's [Bird-Friendly Certified](https://nationalzoo.si.edu/migratory-birds/where-buy-bird-friendly-coffee) stamp. 
+
+###Brew Better
+
+We have a good grinder, we have good beans, now how do you produce a reliably good cup of coffee every time you brew? This is the fun part—you experiment until you get it the way you love it.
+
+If you want to have reproducible results, make sure you weigh out your beans and water using a good scale like the [Apexstone](https://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Scale-Waterproof-Scales-Espresso/dp/B07JG1PXLC/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow} scale with timer so you can track your pour-over pace, and take notes. It may sound nerdy, and it is, but after experimenting for a few days you'll likely find something you love, and if you have notes, then you'll know how to make your perfect cup of coffee every time—no matter where you are.
+
+While experimentation is fun, here are a few suggestions to get you headed in (hopefully) the right direction. You can use nearly any brewer to brew any cup of coffee, but, that said, some brewing methods lend themselves better to different types of coffee.
+
+* Dark Coffee lovers: My fellow dark, rich coffee lovers will likely enjoy brewing using a Mokapot. My favorite is the Primula, [$25 Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Primula-Stainless-Steel-Espresso-Maker/dp/B00263JWD0/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}, [$25 Walmart](https://goto.walmart.com/c/1305164/565706/9383?subId1=bettercoffeeguide&veh=aff&sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FPrimula-6-Cup-Stainless-Steel-Stovetop-Espresso-Coffee-Maker-Percolator-Coffee-Pot%2F36061000){: rel=nofollow}. It's simple to use, produces consistent results, and is the closest thing to espresso you'll get without investing in an espresso machine. If you do want to enjoy good espresso at home, be sure to check out our [guide to the best espresso machines](https://www.wired.com/story/best-latte-and-cappuccino-machines/), as well as our guide to the [best portable espresso machines](https://www.wired.com/story/best-portable-espresso-makers/). 
+
+* Medium Roast perfection: If you like a clean, bright medium to light roast coffee I highly suggest trying pour-over brewing. The most popular pour-over is the Chemex ([$48 Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Chemex-6-Cup-Classic-Glass-Coffee/dp/B0000YWF5E/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}), but I find it fragile and the filters are expensive. It does produce a great, clean up of coffee though. Another good option is Bodum's pour-over coffee maker ([$56 Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Bodum-11682-109-Double-Coffee-Ounces/dp/B06VYHSYJX/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}), which uses a re-usable stainless steel filter.
+
+* Light and refreshing: Those looking for a light brew would be well served by the Aeropress, which excels at extracting the subtlety and depth of even the lightest coffee roasts. We really like the newer [Aeropress Go](https://www.amazon.com/AeroPress-Portable-Travel-Coffee-Press/dp/B07YVL8SF3/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}, which is slightly more compact.
+
+###In Praise of the Drip Brewer
+
+I love a great cup of coffee, but I don't always want to spend the extra time and effort to make a pour-over, or pull a shot of espresso from my favorite Flair espresso hand press ([$239 Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Flair-Espresso-Maker-Manual-Press/dp/B07VW5YGSC/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}), or even use an Aeropress. 
+
+Sometimes I want my coffee and [I want it now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diSp3fHKw44). For those times nothing beats a good, programmable drip brewer that's already made coffee a couple minutes before you even get to the kitchen. We enjoy Mr. Coffee brewers, they're inexpensive, but get the job done. This [$30 model](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MLB2S6?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}) includes a timer function which can be set to brew your coffee up to 24 hours in advance.

+Ever since the GoPro Hero line worked out its kinks, defining the action camera genre in the process, not much has changed for action cameras. Worthy competitors have come on the scene, and GoPro releases incrementally better cameras as well, but until I played with the Insta360 One R [earlier this year at CES](https://www.wired.com/story/best-of-ces-2020/), I would have argued that this type of camera was pretty well baked.
+
+Now I am not so sure. Insta360's One R challenges the basic assumptions about what an action camera can be, and uses a unique modular design to allow for more flexibility. 
+
+The result is an action camera that's capable of handling a greater variety of shooting scenarios and generating unique footage you won't get from any other camera in this genre. It's a two-in-one combo that actually delivers.
+
+###Mod Squad
+
+The One R is not your standard action camera. It's not necessarily even an action camera. The One R is a modular camera system that can be used as an action camera, but it can also be used as a 360-degree camera similar to Insta360's One X camera. 
+
+To make sure it's still water resistant and up to the challenging environments action cameras inhabit, the lenses and sensors are a single, watertight unit. 
+
+The lens and sensor snaps into a controller module. It's a bit like putting together LEGO blocks. The controller has all the rest of the features—power button, record button, microSD slot, and a small touchscreen monitor. These two then sit on top of a battery plate that runs along the bottom. 
+
+Fully assembled, the One R is roughly the shape of a GoPro Hero 8, and only slightly larger.
+
+The heart of the system is the interchangeable lens/sensor combos, which Insta360 calls mods. Currently there are three mods. The 4K mod is the typical 4K action camera lens, with a 16.4 lens (35mm equivalent). The field of view is slightly narrower than what you'll get from a GoPro Hero 8, but otherwise similar. This mod serves as the base model for the One R as an action cam, and costs $300 (this option is not yet available).
+
+The next mod is a dual-lens 360 camera that uses two fisheye lenses, capturing a 360-degree field of view. I've never found 360-degree lenses particularly helpful because they require post-production—the time-consuming process of stitching together your raw footage in software. Insta360 manages to simplify this process with some smart software editing options. 
+
+The final and most interesting of the mods is known as the wide angle mod. This lens pairs a larger, one-inch sensor with a 14.4 lens (35mm equivalent) co-engineered with Leica. The resulting footage is hands down the best looking video and images I've seen come out of an action camera. 
+
+The power of the One R system comes in combining these lenses to suit your needs. The Insta360 site has a all kinds of pairings. The two I recommend are the [One R twin edition ($480)](https://fave.co/3bCjvcb){: rel=nofollow}, which features the 4K lens and the 360-degree twin lens mod. 
+
+If you have the extra money, the even nicer option is the "expert edition", which pairs the higher resolution one-inch, wide-angle mod with the dual-lens 360 mod. The [expert edition sells for $750](https://fave.co/3bCjvcb){: rel=nofollow}.
+
+Whichever configuration you opt for, you'll also get the monitor piece, the battery base, and a mounting cage that's compatible with nearly any action cam accessory.
+
+There are several other ways you can mix and match lenses and accessories for the One R, including designing your own custom combo. Another accessory worth mentioning is the boosted battery base, which doubles the battery capacity (though it also makes the camera considerably larger).
+
+I should also note that there are also two drone-related aerial editions which allow you to mount the dual lens 360 camera on a Mavic Pro or Mavic 2. I have not used either of these yet, but the footage I have seen is impressive. They effectively make your drone invisible and deliver airborne 360 footage.
+
+###Photo and Video Quality
+
+Assembling the Insta360 One R and swapping lenses in and out is simple enough, but you do have to disconnect from the battery, so it's not technically hot swappable. Swapping lenses here is different than a traditional interchangable lens camera and it takes enough effort that you aren't going to manage it without stopping whatever you're doing. This is especially true with the one-inch mod, which requires removing the front cover before taking it out of the cage to swap lenses.
+
+Also note that while the One R is water-resistant to 16 feet (use the case to hold everything together when you're going to get it wet), divers will want to spring for a fully [waterproof case ($60](https://fave.co/2w6L7Wk){: rel=nofollow} that's good to 197 feet (the one-inch mod requires [a different case ($80)](https://fave.co/2w6L7Wk){: rel=nofollow}).
+
+I used the 4K mod alongside a GoPro Hero 8 ([8/10 WIRED Recommends](https://www.wired.com/review/go-pro-hero-8-black/)), using all auto exposure on both, recording H.265 4K video, and found the performance and video quality very similar. 
+
+There are some situations in which the GoPro rendered better detail, particularly fine details like grass or leaves of trees, but to notice this I had to zoom in on both and look very closely. Suffice to say that Insta360's efforts are on par with the rest of the action camera market.
+
+Where the One R really shines is the one-inch mod. The larger sensor means you get 5.3K video (versus 4K in others). What's immediately noticeable in the footage from the one-inch mod is how much better the contrast, dynamic range, shadow detail, color depth and rendering, and sharpness are. It blows every other action cam out of the water—including the One R with the 4K mod.
+
+This shouldn't be terribly surprising given that the sensor is larger, capable of capturing more detail and the glass, with its Leica pedigree, really excels at rendering details and micro contrast.
+
+I pitted the stabilization of the One R with the 4K mod against the GoPro Hero 8, and the One R with one-inch mod and what really jumped out at me was how good they all were. Again I had to really zoom in and watch background objects to even find problems. I am hard pressed to pick a favorite, but I think the GoPro comes out slightly ahead here. The Hero 8 just has a certainly silkiness to it that I have not seen anything else match.
+
+Insta360 claims 65 minutes of battery life for the 360 mod, but I never managed to get it. With the screen always on I got about 45 minutes. Turning off the screen made the battery last longer, but to my mind it makes more sense to buy another battery ($29). Thankfully the One R is USB-C and can charge up in about an hour. There's also a dual battery fast charger available that cuts the charge time to 30 minutes. Also note that like other action cams, the One R will shoot 30 minutes of video and then start a new clip.
+
+There is no dedicated 3.5mm microphone input, but you can get a USB Type C to 3.5mm microphone adapter for higher quality audio. You can also pair a Bluetooth headset and use that as a microphone.
+
+###Software
+
+Insta360's video editing app for Android and iOS is one of the best video editing apps I've used. It offers simple, but powerful automatic options for beginners, while also providing more complex, feature-rich options to satisfy more advanced users.
+
+If you've used the app with the One X, note that there are some big improvements in the new version, especially the ability to edit over Wi-Fi. Using this you can edit your footage without waiting for it to download to your phone. It does use lower resolution footage in this mode though, so don't worry if your clips aren't razor sharp, they will be once the background downloading is done.
+
+The biggest problem with 360-degree footage is, well, how do you focus and frame what you want out of the shot? It's the classic paradox of choice: when you captured everything, what do you actually want to show? 
+
+Insta360's app solves this with its Auto Frame feature, which parses though your clips and uses AI-powered image recognition and tracking to frame shots for you. It's not perfect, but it picked out exactly the parts of the shot I wanted at least 80 percent of the time. All you need to do is pick which of these clips you want to use, sort them around the way you want, and export your video. 
+
+The AI-tracking algorithm makes it possible to go back through your footage and track a subject after the fact. All you need to do is tap the subject and the app will automatically frame and track it. 
+
+If you do want to set keyframes yourself and frame your own shots, that's possible as well. Insta360 has a number of nice tutorials available online that teach you how to shoot and edit different types of shots. The app can also work with any footage, if you want to combine your 360 footage with some video from your phone for instance.
+
+Some in-camera software features worth noting include the Color Plus mode, which auto-applies a nice color grading to your footage. The Nightshot mode is great for low light stills. It captures a 9-image stack in both RAW and JPG, blending them in-camera to produce an HDR image. And, very welcome for 360 or action camera footage is the live histogram. The screen is pretty small and I found the histogram was often a better way to ensure I had the correct exposure.
+
+### Future Proof?
+
+Insta360's One R solves a several problems with action cameras that I did not know I had. First it expands your range of shooting possibilities without requiring you to buy another camera. It combines the related, but disconnected, worlds of 360 capture and action camera into a single unit and the result is—and I'll admit this surprised me—a camera that is very good at both. 
+
+The modular design also introduces another possibility: the hardware can be incrementally upgraded. If you buy the one-inch mod now, to get higher resolution action camera footage and decided in two months that you want to try shooting 360 degree video (and trust me, you do want to try it) you can just buy the 360 mod without shelling out for a whole new camera.
+
+Ideally, two years from now when the one-inch sensor mod supports, say, 8K video, you'll be able to buy a new one-inch mod, attach it to your existing One R, just like you would a new lens for your DSLR. It remains to be seen of course of Insta360 makes such things possible down the road, but I for one certainly hope so.

+process over product. When you have open ended materials, you get open ended outcomes. Translating this out of education-speak, you have more time you can get something done while your kids are occupied.
+
+> In terms of encouraging children to engage in self-directed play (so the parents working from home can get on with their work too), 
+
+The goal of these suggestions is two-fold. The first is to buy you some time in your day to get some work done, or just carve out a few minutes for yourself. Don't discount the importance of that. But these things also help to foster what education experts call independent play.
+
+That is, let your kids choose what to do. The younger your children are, the more it helps to limit their options so the aren't overwhelmed by choice, but don't be scared to get some of these materials and then turn your children lose without any clear goals or anything specific to make. The goal is the process, not product.
+
+Don't be scared to do nothing. As Dr. Amanda Gummer of [Good Play Guide](https://www.goodplayguide.com/) points out, "children need to get bored to learn how to entertain themselves." Start with small blocks of time, and then increase the amount of time before you step in and make suggestions on what your child might like to do. 
+
+Gummer also suggests "having a selection of different play types allows children to find an activity that suits their mood and energy levels. See Gummer's balanced play pyramid for some more ideas.
+
+
+
+It’s also a good tip for parents to suggest something that’s helpful around the house rather than a fun activity so the children soon learn to find their own amusement. 
+
+
+
+
+If you're stuck inside and your kids are climbing the walls, but you aren't yet ready to let them watch Netflix dawn to dusk, well, I don't blame you. Here are some games that are sometimes called "edutaining". Think of them as fun games that also teach something, but in a way your kids probably won't notice.
+
+I do suggest setting some screen time limits before handing your children a device, but with these options you can at least rest assured that your kids are learning something.

+DJI's new Mavic Mini manages to pack nearly all of what's great about the company's larger, more expensive drone into a palm-size package. 
+
+The Mavic Mini is larger than DJI's previous effort at a tiny drone, the Spark, but more impressive in nearly every way. The Spark made too many compromises in search if its diminutive form factor (and ends up 50 grams heavier than the Mavic Mini). 
+
+To keep down the weight and price, the Mavic Mini only really makes one major compromise: it can't shoot 4K video. It can shoot 2.7K video though, which is good enough for most of us. Especially considering it manages to do it while weighing a mere half pound (just slightly heavier than a phone), and being small enough to sit comfortably (collapsed) in your palm.
+
+### Palm Size Power
+
+The Mavic Mini is small, light, and very portable. It's the perfect drone for travel, even hiking or backpacking. The precise weight at takeoff is 249 grams. That's an important number in the drone world. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires any "unmanned aerial vehicles" weighing between 250 grams and 55 pounds to be registered. This is a pretty painless process anyway, but the Mavic Mini is exempt. 
+
+If you are planning to throw the Mavic Mini in a backpack for a long haul, be aware that the controller adds another tk ounces and is roughly the same size as the drone itself. The total package comes in at about tk lbs plus any case you use.
+
+That's impressively small for a device that still features enough battery power to stay aloft for about 26 minutes in my testing. Wind and temperature will be factors in how long you can fly, and I should note that most of my testing was done in temps ranging from 35 to 60 degree, which might be why I got a little less life than the 30 minutes DJI claims (lithium batteries do not like cold). 
+
+The Mavic Mini is one of the best drone flying experiences I've had. It's nimble and responsive. DJI's new Fly app isn't quite as nice as what you get with the company's other drones, but it works well enough. My only gripe is that switching flight modes -- between Regular, Sport and a new one dubbed Cinesmooth -- is not a switch on the controller as it is with other models in the Mavic line. Instead you'll have to hunt it down in the app.
+
+As you would expect, the Mavic Mini does not hold up in stronger winds. That said, it was surprising stable the one breeze day I did test it. There was very little side to side movement even with gusts, what movement there was tended to be vertical -- gusts would push it up. Still, you definitely don't want to try flying the Mavic Mini in windy conditions.
+
+My other concern fly the Mini was its size. The range is a bit tighter than DJI's other drones, but it's still plenty far enough to lose site of it. The Mavic Mini can reach 1,600 feet vertically and can range 2.5 miles from you. In all but the most vacant of landscapes you're going to lose sight of the Mini rather quickly. Line of sight is the only safe way to fly in my opinion. Relying on FPV video is a great way to lose your drone. The problem with the Mini is its so small that I'd look down to frame a shot, look back up and not be able to find it. 
+
+I should also point out that technically you don't need to use your phone to fly. You can fly the Mavic Mini through the controller solely by line of sight. I did this a few times and losing sight in this scenario was nerve wracking. 
+
+Below the tiny frame is 24mm lens with a fixed f/2.8 aperture. The CMOS image sensor is capable of 12-megapixel still images and video at 2.7K/30p and 1080/30p. The results are impressive, especially considering the size of the package. True, there's no 4K video here, but then this is a machine of compromises.
+
+### What's Missing
+
+The Mavic Mini is tiny, light, and relatively cheap, which means there are some trade offs to be made on features. This is not a Mavic, certainly not a Mavic Pro, not even a Mavic Air. Still, you actually get quite a lot of cinematic and flying power.
+
+The big drawback, and main reason that many videographers will probably skip the Mini is the lack of 4K video. It's not that the 2.7K video from the Mavic Mini is bad, but mixing it with 4K footage isn't going to work. That means if any footage in your project is 4K, then you're going to also want your drone footage to be 4K. For that DJI already has several answers: the Mavic, Mavic Pro, and Mavic Air.
+
+For the rest of us, the 2.7K footage looks great, and the three axis-stabilization yields far smoothers, stabler results than what the 2-axis stabilized Spark was ever capable of capturing.
+
+The other major missing feature in the Mavic Mini is front and rear collision avoidance sensors. At the risk of sounding like an old man shoeing kids off the lawn: just a few years ago we all flew Phantoms with no collision avoidance sensors. Big honking, not terribly nimble Phantoms. 
+
+Trust me, you can handle the Mavic Mini without the collision avoidance sensors. You'll just have to do it the old fashioned way: by practicing and becoming a better drone pilot. I strongly suggest starting in an empty field, well away from any obstacles. As you get better you can start practicing more difficult scenarios.
+
+Another feature you won't find here that I did miss was DJI's ActiveTrack, which allows you to follow a selected object. Strangely, if you use one of the Quickshot modes like Circle, which circles a selected subject, you can highlight a figure and it works. But the more sophisticated ActiveTrack feature is nowhere to be found which is disappointing.
+
+Still, considering the price and the size of the Mavic Mini I think this is the best drone for most people. Part of what's always made me shy away from using drones more frequently is how big and invasive they can be. 
+
+I love them, and I've flown them professionally and just for fun for years now, but I'd be the first to admit that they're a hassle to pack, a pain to carry, and loud enough that you're almost guaranteed to offend someone. 
+
+The Mavic Mini eliminates the first two problems completely. It's small and light, simple to throw in a small bag and carry with you all the time. It is still somewhat invasive and louder than I'd hoped, but it's the least intrusive I've drone I've flown, particularly if you stay about 50 feet up you'll hardly notice it.
+
+There's something to be said for the old adage: the best camera is the one you have in your pocket. That's true even when the camera in your pocket is a drone.

+never help your kids. give them the tools to find their own solution.
+
+Need to entertain your kids while you get some work done at home? Here are some ideas that won't leave your house looking like a glitter tornado passed through it.
+
+If your kids are home from school, you're probably scrambling to find ways to keep them occupied. I've seen quite a few posts around the internet from well-meaning parents suggesting activities that are indeed fun for kids, but are also almost guaranteed to leave your house a wreck.
+
+If you're fortunate enough to have a job that lets you shelter in place while you continue to work, and look after the kiddos, the last thing you need is an extra mess to clean up at the end of the day. I can't save you from the endless, "mommy, daddy, look at this! look at this!" but here are some ways to keep your children engaged, occupied, and having fun without turning the house into a mad science laboratory.
+
+Some of these suggestions may require a few minutes of adult guidance, but once pointed in the right direction, kids of the appropriate age should have no trouble.
+
+Water Color Pencils
+
+These look like ordinary colored pencils—and they can be used that way if you want—but add water and they'll behave just like watercolor paint. The first time you use these it's a little bit magical. If you want something a little fancier [this 72 color set from Castle ($35)](https://www.amazon.com/Castle-Art-Supplies-Watercolor-Professionals/dp/B07FSW66SK/tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow} is also nice. Got several kids who will fight over single colors? Crayola has [a classroom set ($49)](https://www.amazon.com/Crayola-Watercolor-Classpack-Assorted-68-4240/dp/B000F8T08A/tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow} with fewer colors, but plenty of each color to eliminate sibling conflicts. My kids have been using these to follow along with Mo Willems' daily [lunch doodles](https://www.kennedy-center.org/education/mo-willems/).
+
+Quick stix
+
+Tempura paint sticks work a bit like crayons, but instead of wax, you're smearing tempura paint around. It's fast drying (about a minute and a half), easy to clean off most surfaces, and there's no brushes or other mess to clean when your kids are done. As with the watercolor pencils, there are sets of all sizes. We started with this one, but have since expanded to a [32-color set ($43)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082HX5B97/tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}.
+
+Tape Art
+
+What's sticky, but not so sticky it ruins everything it touches? The right kind of tape. Washi tape is a special rice paper tape that's popular with crafters, and has long been a go-to for out kids when they want to create some tape-based art. There are all kinds of washi tape sets, everything from the solid colors here to [glittery patterned options](https://www.amazon.com/Decorative-Planners-Scrapbooking-Adhesive-Supplies/dp/B07CVV9VY2/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}. If you don't want to buy anything this fancy, you can use [blue painters' tape ($4)](https://www.amazon.com/ScotchBlue-Painters-Multi-Use-94-Inch-60-Yard/dp/B00004Z4CP/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow} as well. It's low-tack means it's not the end of the world if you kids string it all our your wood furniture.
+
+Pipe cleaners
+
+*Age 4+*
+
+Pipe cleaners are great sculpture and jewelry making tools. They're cheap, reusable, and pretty easy to clean up (we keep ours in plastic box, which works better than a bag since there are some sharp ends). Imagination is pretty much the only limit here, though if your kids want to make something specific, [YouTube is your friend](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pipe+cleaner+art+ideas). Added bonus: you'll get to attend your next work Zoom meeting with a pipe cleaner crown on your head. Need more?

+If you ever needed proof that kids can turn anything into a toy, turn them loose on a bag of buttons. If you want to do something more organized, thread them on pipe cleaners for jewelry, glue them to paper for 3D painting, practice counting, or stitch them to some felt to make bookmarks. I should add the caveat that these might make a little bit of a mess, they tend to bounce around and get underfoot when kids drop them on the floor. It's nothing like dropping Mentos in a 2-liter of Diet Coke, but you may need to organize some button clean up time. Added bonus: you'll have plenty of buttons to repair your clothes.
+
+Origami
+
+You don't really need special paper to make origami, but it does make the results more colorful. If you want to use the paper you already have, just cut it to be square since most instructions will assume square paper. This one may require a little more parental guidance, depending on age, but there are instructions out there for just about anything your kids' want to make, these [sailboats](https://www.origami-fun.com/origami-sail-boats.html) make a good intro project.
+
+
+Sensory Bin
+When my twins were little – 2 or 3 years old – I had a sensory bin made up of beans, spoons, and cups. My twins never ate the beans – they actually never put little objects in their mouths – and they just had fun exploring textures.
+
+I would sit next to them with my laptop and get a good 30 minutes of work.
+
+Play Dough
+
+You can buy the commercially made stuff, like the set linked here (or this delightfully titled [Lil' Poop Troop set ($15)](https://www.amazon.com/Play-Doh-Poop-Troop-cans-Combinations/dp/B0813XHQGR/)), but it's more fun to make your own, especially if you get your kids involved in the process (although this might again make a little bit of a mess). Play dough is mainly flour, salt, water, oil, and other ingredients you most likely have on hand. Some [play dough recipes]() call for cream of tartar, but there are [others that do not](https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-Playdough-Without-Cream-of-Tartar/).
+
+2 cups all-purpose flour
+3/4 cup salt
+4 teaspoons cream of tartar
+2 cups lukewarm water
+2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil (coconut oil works too)
+Food coloring, optional
+Quart sized bags

+Password managers are the vegetables of the internet. We know they're good for us, but most of us are happier snacking on the [password equivalent of junk food](https://www.wired.com/story/7-steps-to-password-perfection/). For seven years running that's been "123456" and "password"—the two [most commonly used passwords](https://www.wired.com/2016/01/worst-passwords-list/) on the web.
+
+The problem is, most of us don't know what makes a good password and aren't able to remember hundreds of them anyway.
+
+If you can memorize strong passwords for every website you visit and every app you use, by all means do it. Assuming you're using [secure passwords](https://www.wired.com/2016/05/password-tips-experts/)—which is, first and foremost, shorthand for *long* passwords—this is the most secure, if slightly insane, way to store passwords. It might work for [Memory Grandmaster Ed Cooke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Cooke_(author)), but most of us are not ready for such fantastic feats. We need to offload that work to password managers, which offer secure vaults that can stand in for our faulty, overworked memories.
+
+A password manager offers convenience and, more importantly, helps you create better passwords, which makes your online existence less vulnerable to password-based attacks.
+
+*Updated February 2020: We've added a few new services to the list, including NordPass, Enpass, and Keeper Security.*

+
+###Why Not Use Your Browser?
+
+Most web browsers offer at least a rudimentary password manager. (This is where your passwords are stored when Chrome or Firefox ask if you'd like to save a password.) This is better than reusing the same password everywhere, but [browser-based password managers are limited](https://www.wired.com/2016/08/browser-password-manager-probably-isnt-enough/).
+
+The reason security experts recommend you use a dedicated password manager comes down to focus. Web browsers have other priorities that haven't left much time for improving their password manager. For instance, most of them won't generate strong passwords for you, leaving you right back at "123456." Dedicated password managers have a singular goal and have been adding helpful features for years now. Ideally, this leads to better security.
+
+###Best Overall
+
+**[1Password](https://1password.com/sign-up/){: rel=nofollow}**
+
+[#image: /photos/5ce876e11dc26e34f63b885c]||||||
+
+1Password began life as a Apple-centric password solution, but it has since broadened its offerings to include iOS, Android, Windows, and ChromeOS. There's even a command line tool that will work anywhere. There are plugins for your favorite web browser too, which makes it easy to generate and edit new passwords on the fly.
+
+What sets 1Password apart from the rest is the number of extras it offers. In addition to managing passwords, it can [act as an authentication app](https://www.wired.com/story/two-factor-authentication-apps-authy-google-authenticator/) like Google Authenticator and, for added security, it creates a secret key to the encryption key it uses, meaning no one can decrypt your passwords without that key. (The downside is that if you lose this key, no one, not even 1Password, can decrypt your passwords.)
+
+Another reason 1Password offers the best experience is its tight integration with other mobile apps. Rather than needing to copy/paste passwords between your password manager and other apps, 1Password is integrated with many apps and can autofill. This is more noticeable on iOS, where inter-app communication is more restricted.
+
+The other reason I like [1Password is "Travel Mode,"](https://www.wired.com/2017/05/clever-new-way-protect-data-border-also-add-risk/) which allows you to delete any sensitive data from your devices before you travel and then restore it with a click after you've crossed the border. This prevents anyone, even law enforcement at international borders, from accessing your complete password vault.
+
+1Password has a 30-day free trial for either plan so you can test it out before committing.
+
+**[1Password costs $3 per month ($36 per year, $60 a year for families)](https://1password.com/sign-up/){: rel=nofollow}**
+
+*After signing up, [download the app](https://1password.com/downloads/){: rel=nofollow} for Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, ChromeOS, or Linux. There are also browser extensions for [Firefox, Chrome, and Edge](https://1password.com/downloads/#browsers){: rel=nofollow}.*
+
+###Best Free Option
+
+**[Bitwarden](https://bitwarden.com/){: rel=nofollow}**
+
+
+[#image: /photos/5d8a8098e0e34e00092662eb]||||||
+
+
+Bitwarden has become a popular choice among open source software advocates. After using it for a few months, I can see why. It's free with no limits, and it's every bit as polished and user-friendly as our top pick.
+
+Did I mention it's open source? That means the code that powers Bitwarden is freely available for anyone to inspect, seek out flaws, and fix them. In theory, the more eyes on the code, the more airtight it becomes. Bitwarden has also been audited by a third party to ensure it's secure. Bitwarden can be installed on your own server, for easy self-hosting if you prefer to run your own cloud.
+
+There are apps for Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS, and Linux, as well as browser extensions for all major web browsers, plus less common options like Opera, Brave, and [Vivaldi](https://www.wired.com/story/try-vivaldi-browser-android-chrome/) (which all support Chrome extensions). 
+
+Another thing I like is BitWarden's semi-automated password fill-in tool. If you visit a site that you've saved credentials for, Bitwarden's browser icon shows the number of saved credentials from that site. Click the icon and it will ask which account you want to use and then automatically fill in the login form. This makes it easy to switch between usernames and avoids the pitfalls of autofill we mention at the bottom of this guide. If you simply must have your fully automated form filling, Bitwarden does support that as well.
+
+Bitwarden offers a paid upgrade account. The cheapest of the bunch, Bitwarden Premium, is $10 per year. That gets you 1 GB of encrypted file storage, two-factor authentication with devices like [YubiKey](https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-use-a-yubikey/), FIDO U2F, and Duo, and a password hygiene and vault health report. Paying also gets you priority customer support.

+
+###Best Full-Featured Manager
+
+**[Dashlane](https://www.dashlane.com/plans){: rel=nofollow}**
+
+[#image: /photos/5ce876fe3c2fcc042d070e80]||||||
+
+I first encountered Dashlane several years ago. Back then, it was the same as its competitors with no standout features. But recent updates, especially Dashlane 6, have added several features not found elsewhere. One of the best features of Dashlane is what it calls Site Breach Alerts. Dashlane actively monitors the darker corners of the web, looking for leaked or stolen personal data, and then alerts you if your information has been compromised.
+
+The desktop client is easy to navigate and the mobile apps make getting your data everywhere a cinch, though there is no syncing between devices without buying the Premium version ([$5 per month](https://www.dashlane.com/getpremium?plan=premium){: rel=nofollow}). Still, it's simple to set up and uses a secret key to encrypt your passwords, much like 1Password's set up process.
+
+We also like the option not to store any password data on Dashlane's servers. If you use this feature, you are responsible for managing and syncing your password vault between devices. It's less convenient, but your passwords stay with you. This isn't possible with 1Password or LastPass. The Premium plan has other nice extras you won't find with other services, like a free [VPN](https://www.wired.com/2017/03/want-use-vpn-protect-privacy-start/).
+
+Dashlane Premium costs $5 per month ($60 per year). There's also Premium Plus, which costs $10 per month ($120 per year) and includes some identity theft and recovery tools. Dashlane offers a 30-day free trial for either plan, so you can test it out before committing.

+
+###Best DIY Option (Self Hosted)
+
+**[KeepassXC](https://keepassxc.org/download/){: rel=nofollow}**
+
+[#image: /photos/5ce8771de2751d04edfcf520]||||||
+
+Want to retain more control over your data in the cloud? Try using a desktop application like KeePassXC. It stores encrypted versions of all your passwords into an encrypted digital vault that you secure with a master password, a key file, or both. The difference is that instead of a hosted service like 1Password syncing it for you, you sync that database file yourself using a file-syncing service like [Dropbox](https://www.dropbox.com/){: rel=nofollow} or Edward Snowden's [recommended service](https://techcrunch.com/2014/10/11/edward-snowden-new-yorker-festival/): [SpiderOak](https://spideroak.com/){: rel=nofollow}. Once your file is in the cloud you can access it on any device that has a KeePassXC client.
+
+Why do it yourself? In a word: transparency. Like Bitwarden, KeepassXC is open source, which means its code can be and has been inspected for critical flaws.
+
+**[KeePassXC is free to use](https://keepassxc.org/download/){: rel=nofollow}**
+
+*Download the [desktop app](https://keepassxc.org/download/) for Windows, MacOS, or Linux and create your vault. There are also extensions for [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keepassxc-browser/){: rel=nofollow} and [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/keepassxc-browser/oboonakemofpalcgghocfoadofidjkkk){: rel=nofollow}, but not Edge. It does not have official apps for your phone. Instead, the project recommends [Keepass2Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=keepass2android.keepass2android){: rel=nofollow} or [Strongbox for iPhone](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/strongbox-password-safe/id897283731){: rel=nofollow}.*
+
+###The New Kid on the Block
+
+**[NordPass](https://nordpass.com/){: rel=nofollow}:** 
+
+NordPass is a brand new password manager, but it comes from a company with significant pedigree. NordVPN is a well-known VPN provider and the company's new password manager brings much of the ease of use and simplicity that made its VPN offering popular to its password manager. The installation and setup process are a breeze. There are apps for every major platform (including Linux), browser, and device.
+
+The free version of NordPass is limited to one device; there's no syncing available. There is a seven-day free trial of the premium version, which lets you test device syncing. But to get that for good, you'll have to upgrade to the $36/year plan (like its VPN service, NordPass accepts payment in crypto currencies).
+
+Like our other favorites, NordPass uses a zero-knowledge setup where all data is encrypted on your device before it's uploaded to the company's servers. Other nice features include support for two-factor authentication to sign in to your account, and a built-in password generator (which has plenty of options to handle those poorly-designed sites that put weird requirements on your password).
+
+**[NordPass is free, though we suggest upgrading to a premium plan ($36/year)](https://nordpass.com/){: rel=nofollow}:** 
+
+*After signing up, [grab the app](https://nordpass.com/download/){: rel=nofollow} for Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, or Linux. There are also browser extensions for [Firefox, Chrome, and Edge](https://nordpass.com/download/){: rel=nofollow}.*
+
+###Honorary Mentions
+
+[#image: /photos/5ce87750b2569847a06b2c11]||||||
+
+Password managers are not a one-size-fits-all solution. While we think our top picks cover most use cases and are the best choice for most people, your needs may be different. Fortunately there are plenty of very good password managers out there. Here are some more we've tested and liked.
+
+- **[LastPass (Free, $36 per year for premium)](https://www.lastpass.com/pricing){: rel=nofollow}:** LastPass is one of the most popular and well-known password managers out there. It works on nearly every platform and device available, though it did recently drop its macOS standalone app, citing changes in Apple's developer tools. LastPass has had a number of [high-profile, critical bugs](https://www.wired.com/2015/06/hack-brief-password-manager-lastpass-got-breached-hard/) and some data breaches. Overall though, LastPass remains a good choice for those on a tight budget.
+
+- **[Myki](https://myki.com/){: rel=nofollow}:** Myki uses a device to sync your data instead of a cloud-based server. Everything starts on your phone or tablet and you can then sync your passwords to your desktop using Myki's browser extensions. The sync happens through Myki's relay servers, but no data is actually stored, it just passes through en route from your phone to the browser extension. Myki is [free to use (with paid family/team plans)](https://myki.com/pricing){: rel=nofollow}.
+
+- **[RememBear ($36 per year)](https://www.remembear.com/){: rel=nofollow}:** RememBear does everything you'd expect of a password manager—and it has bears! Password managers are possibly the most boring software on your device, plus just the idea of them is stressful to some people. RememBear counters this by entertaining with bear puns and smoothing out anxiety with its friendly, lovable bear mascot. For beginners, RememBear has everything you need and a clever, approachable user interface. It's missing some features advanced users might want, like two-factor authentication (RememBear support 2FA for logging into sites, but not the app itself), and a password strength checker. There's a free trial that will let you test the app, but the free plan doesn't sync. A premium account will set you back $36/year, and includes syncing with end-to-end encryption, secure backups, and priority customer service. Sadly, you don't get an actual bear.
+
+- **[Enpass (Free, $12 per year, or one-time $60, for premium)](https://www.enpass.io/){: rel=nofollow}:** Like KeePassXC, Enpass does not store any data on its servers. Syncing is handled through third-party services like Dropbox or NextCloud. Enpass doesn't do the syncing, but it does offer apps on every platform that means once you have syncing set up, it works just like any other service. And you don't have to worry about Enpass being hacked, because your data isn't on its servers. If you're comfortable setting up the secure syncing yourself, Enpass makes a great password manager.
+
+- **[Keeper Password Manager (Free, $36 per year for premium)](https://www.keepersecurity.com/){: rel=nofollow}:** Keeper offers a variety of security related tools, including a password manager. Keeper works much like 1Password and others, storing your encrypted data only, and offers two-factor authentication for logging into your account. Like Dashlane, Keeper has a lot of extras, including "Dark Web" monitoring, meaning Keeper will check publicly posted data to make sure yours isn't available.
+
+###Password Manager Basics
+
+A good password manager stores, generates, and updates passwords for you with the press of a button. If you're willing to spend a few dollars a month, a password manager can sync your passwords across all your devices. Here's how they work.
+
+__Only One Password to Remember:__ To access all your passwords, you only have to remember one password. When you type that into the password manager, it unlocks the vault containing all of your actual passwords. Only needing to remember one password is great, but it means there's a lot riding on that one password. Make sure it's a good one.
+
+If you're having trouble coming up with that one password to rule them all, check out our guide to [better password security](https://www.wired.com/2016/05/password-tips-experts/). You might also consider using the [Diceware](http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html) method for generating a strong master password.
+
+__Apps and Extensions:__ Most password managers are full systems rather than a single piece of software. They consist of apps or browser extensions for each of your devices (Windows, Mac, Android phones, iPhone, and tablets), which have tools to help you create secure passwords, safely store them, and evaluate the security of your existing passwords. All that information is then sent to a central server where your passwords are encrypted, stored, and shared between devices.
+
+__Fixing Compromised Passwords:__ While password managers can help you create more secure passwords and keep them safe from prying eyes, they can't protect your password if [the website itself is breached](https://www.wired.com/story/collection-one-breach-email-accounts-passwords/). That doesn't mean they don't help in this scenario though. All three of the cloud-based password managers we discuss offer tools to alert you to potentially compromised passwords. Password managers also make it easier to quickly change a compromised password and search through your passwords to ensure you didn't reuse any compromised codes.
+
+__You Should Disable Auto Form Filling:__ Some password managers will automatically fill in and even submit web forms for you. This is super convenient, but for additional security we suggest you disable this feature. Automatically filling forms in the browser has made password managers [vulnerable to attack](https://www.wired.com/story/password-manager-autofill-ad-tech-privacy/) in the past. For this reason our favorite password manager, [1Password](https://1password.com/sign-up/){: rel=nofollow}, requires you to opt into this feature. We suggest you do not.
+
+__Don't Panic About Hacks:__ Software has bugs, even your password manager. The question is not what do you do *if* it becomes known that your password manager has a flaw, but what do you do *when* it becomes known that your password manager has a flaw. The answer is, first, don't panic. Normally bugs are [found](https://www.wired.com/story/a-password-exposing-bug-was-purged-from-lastpass/), reported, and fixed before they're exploited in the wild. Even if someone does manage to gain access to your password manager's servers, you should still be fine. All of the services we list only store encrypted data and none of them store your encryption key, meaning all an attacker gets from compromising their servers is encrypted data.

+These portable printers connect to your phone over Bluetooth and make wallet-size prints you can share or hang on the fridge.
+
+HP Sprocket
+
+The HP Sprocket Photo Printer offers the best results you'll get from a Zink printer. Zink is short for "zero ink." Instead of printing with ink from a cartridge, Zink prints hold layers of ink in the paper itself. The Sprocket is about the size of a phone (a little thicker), and will connect and print from your mobile device via Bluetooth. The accompanying mobile app lets you edit your photos before printing, including tiling your images onto multiple sheets of Zink for a larger, pieced-together image.
+
+The printed results are the best of all the devices we tested and have deeper blacks than other Zero Ink printers and cameras.
+
+Polaroid Mint Wireless
+
+This well-designed little package is about the size of a deck of cards and comes in a variety of colors. The Mint produces great results, though it sometimes struggled to achieve deep, rich blacks. Still it delivers 95 percent of what the Sprocket offers for considerably less money. Polaroid's phone app is also a little easier to use than HP's app, but it lacks the tiling feature found in the HP app.
+
+Fujifilm Instax Mini Link
+
+Fujifilm's latest Instax offering, the Mini Link spits out Polaroid-style prints using Bluetooth. Your phone images will print slightly larger than what Zink printers offer, delivering a 2.4 x 1.8-inch print -- perfect for fridge collages. The Instax Mini Link app is easy to use and in addition to photos, it can even print a frame from your favorite home movies. Using "Fun Mode" You can connect up to five devices to the Mini Link to combine, mix, and match images. I found the embedded QR codes for audio gimmicky, but many users enjoy it.

+Here's another assignment: round up three of our favorite photo printers and tell us about the standout features on each. I like it when this page highlights what's unique about each, and in this case that should be easy since there are different printing technologies at work. Also, it's fine to point out faults, critique the quality, and to include first-person observations.

+In 2008 Polaroid [shut down](https://www.wired.com/2008/02/polaroid-ends-i/) its instant film production and factories, ending an era of photography fun. 
+
+But that era didn't want to end, and the appropriately named Impossible Project [revived first Polaroid film](https://www.wired.com/2011/05/impossible-launches-vivid-color-shade-film-for-polaroid/), and then Polaroid cameras. Whether it's nostalgia or genuine love, people want not just instant cameras, but specifically Polaroid instant cameras. The Impossible Project tapped into that love and achieved what Polaroid could not: success. In 2017 Impossible acquired the rights to the Polaroid brand and intellectual property and was reborn at Polaroid Originals. Now Polaroid Originals is dropping the Originals to once again be just Polaroid. 
+
+Fortunately for us, the new Polaroid is more Impossible Project and less old-Polaroid. That's good news because old-Polaroid became a sad endeavour toward the end, turning out plastic junk no one wanted.
+
+To kickstart life under its new name, the new Polaroid has launched the Now, a Polaroid Camera that takes everything that was great about the 1980s Polaroid cameras, updates the technology, and manages to make Polaroids fun again. If only the film were more consistent.
+
+###Mining The Past
+
+The Polaroid Now isn't a huge design departure from the OneStep 2 ([6/10 WIRED Review](https://www.wired.com/2017/09/review-polaroid-originals-onestep-2/)), which wasn't a huge design departure from the 1980s OneStep 600. If it's not broken, don't fix it, round it. And round it Polaroid has, taking the classic lines of the Polaroid OneStep and adding a tasteful bit of curve. The result is a camera that looks good and is reasonably comfortable to hold and use.
+
+The Now is available in the full rainbow of colors: white, black, blue, green, yellow, red, and orange. 
+
+While the design may be classic, the function and smarts behind the Now are a vast improvement over the OneStep 2. 
+
+The Now sports the usual Polaroid front face layout with the viewfinder (the right eye of the face) which extends out the back of the camera. This is matched on the opposite side of the front by a new, smarter flash (more on that in a minute). The "nose" of the face design is a 35-44mm autofocus lens. This is the biggest concession to the modern world, replacing the typical single focal distance lens with an autofocus lens. The result is a more usable camera that's going to work better for most people, in most situations, though I did hit a couple snags.
+
+Polaroid claims the lens automatically switches between distance and portrait formats, which it did seem to do, but it does the switching without any way to control it and it was not perfect. Twice in the two rolls of film I shot I missed the shot in ways that still confuse me, but I assume this was the culprit. Both were closeups of flowers, both were off center despite careful framing on my part. I went back and retried, listening for the clicking sound of the lens flipping between modes to tell when things were the way I wanted.
+
+A big red shutter button and a self timer button round out the front of the camera. There's no selfie mirror.
+
+On the back there's a yellow power button, flash control button, and tiny digital read out that lets you know how many images you have left. 
+
+Polaroid claims the flash is more accurate, which really means the strength of the flash is better matched to the scene. The result is that you get fewer of those characteristic washed out, over-exposed images of yesteryear. Indeed, I didn't notice this until I asked Polaroid what they meant by "more accurate flash", but then I went back and realized I didn't have a single washed out image. Score one for the modern world.
+
+###Future Results
+
+The Polaroid Now is a frustratingly good camera. Frustrating because good as it is, I am still plagued by bad film. When I brought this up during the process of writing this review, several other WIRED writers chimed in to say they've never experienced any of the issues with film that I've had. I am perfectly willing to say it is just me, but it is there.
+
+If I leave out what I call the misprints—the start bursts and spiderweb emulsion artifacts—I find that the Polaroid Now has produced some of the best images of any instant camera I've used, especially the black and white film. The camera is fun to use, and reasonably comfortable to carry around. 
+
+It's a strong contender to unseat the Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 as my favorite instant camera.
+
+Which one should you get? To my mind the real debate comes down to do you want to invest in the Polaroid ecosystem or the Fujifilm Instax ecosystem. 
+
+Polaroid wins on size, no question. Polaroid images are gloriously big next to the Instax images. But the Polaroids are also considerably more expensive: $2 per image versus $.80 per image with the Instax Mini film (color in both cases). That's a significant price difference over time, assuming you're going to shoot dozens, maybe even hundreds of images a year. Still, if you want the classic look, the classic size and a classic camera, the Polaroid Now delivers on all counts.

+The Palmpress
+
+The Palmpress is a press-to-brew solution that packs up small and is pretty lightweight as well. One of the nice things about it is there's nothing extra needed, no filters, no cleaning brushes. It's simple to brew and once I got the ground dialed-in (I found a finer ground worked best, but it's worth experimenting) the results were a clean, bright flavor with almost no bitterness. This was especially true with medium roasts, which I found to be the best choice for the Palmpress.
+
+Dripkit
+
+Dripkit's disposable pour-over coffee packets are the simplest, best-tasting pour-over coffee you're  going to get on the road. The company's own coffee wasn't strong enough for my tastes, but Dripkit partners with Portland's Stumptown Coffee Roaster to make a pour over kit that brewed some of the best drip coffee I've ever made. They are disposable which isn't terribly sustainable, and they're not the cheapest option, but when you want to travel light without sacrificing taste, this the way to go.
+
+Pipamoka
+
+This newcomer from Wacaco has the most unusual brewing method I've tested. It's a vaccuum pressure, brewer that works by twisting. You fill a brewing chamber with coffee, the insulated container with water, and then you drop the coffee chamber into the water and let it settle to the bottom. Once the air bubbles are out, you begin twisting the brewing mechanism up and out of the mug portion (which doubles as a mug, keeping the coffee hot for hours). I highly recommend [watching the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9QUksFhh8I) to get a better sense of how it works. While it may be odd, the results are great. I found it works especially well with milder roasts.
+
+The results are a good cup of coffee.

+Insta360's new One R ([8/10 WIRED Recommends](https://www.wired.com/review/insta360-one-r)) brings interchangable lenses to the action camera. There are three lenses, or "mods", currently: a 4K mod that mirrors what you'll get from the other cameras on the this page, a dual lens 360-degree camera, and, thanks to a partnership with Leica, a wide angle lens paired with a one inch sensor that's capable of capturing 5K video.

+Samsung's Galaxy Chromebook is everything you'd expect from the maker of some of the nicest Android phones on the market: premium hardware, custom adapted to the needs of this device. The fanless design is one-of-kind with this chipset, and the close integration with ChromeOS features makes for a smoother user experience than most Chromebooks.
+
+This is everything Google's Chromebook Pixel once was, and more. With Google apparently happy to let the Pixel fade away, Samsung has stepped up to provide a first-class Chromebook experience. Unfortunately, this great piece of hardware suffers from most of the same limitations all Chromebook's suffer from: ChromeOS.
+
+###
+
+The attention to detail in Samsung's Galaxy Chromebook is apparent from the minute you pull it out of the box. It feels like a premium machine, and it is, especially in the Chromebook world. The sleek aluminum body, high-resolution 4K AMOLED screen, and tenth-generation i5 processor have far more in common in high-end Windows machines than other Chromebooks. It come in either a sedate gray or an aptly name "fiesta red."
+
+A built-in pen, fingerprint reader, support for WiFi 6, up to 16 GB of RAM, and up to one-terabyte of storage space (plus an SD card slot) round out the high-end specs. There's also a digital dual array microphone that makes working with Google Assistant voice commands easier than many other devices I've tried. You can control your Galaxy by yelling at it from across the room just was well as you can control Google's various home smart devices.
+
+This is the thinnest Chromebook you'll find, at only 9.9mm tall. And it definitely has the sharpest, brightest screen I've ever used with ChromeOS (it's the first Chromebook with an AMOLED screen). That AMOLED sharpness comes at cost in battery life though, the Galaxy Chromebook managed tk hours in our standard battery drain test (playing a looped 1080p video at 75 percent brightness). 
+
+If you turn down the brightness even more -- and you can afford to here since the screen is so sharp -- you can coax a full day of use out of the battery. Normally this is the part where I would say something like, assuming ordinary tasks like browsing the web, checking email, messaging on Slack, but this is a Chromebook so of course that's all you're going to be doing.
+
+This is unquestionably a nice laptop. You are paying for what you get though. At $999 the Galaxy Chromebook is an expensive piece of kit, and one that's never going to run, for instance, Photoshop, Overwatch, or any other popular desktop applications or games. 
+
+So long as that's not a requirement for you, there's much here to love. An example of the refinement and integration in this laptop, when you press in on the spring-release pen to pull it out, the Galaxy will automatically open Google Keep, and be ready for your handwritten notes or sketches. It's a small thing, but here are a lot of these small things that add up to the smoothest, nicest ChromeOS experience I've had.
+
+###ChromeOS
+
+My major problem with the Galaxy Chromebook is not the hardware, it's the software. There are parts of ChromeOS that are fantastic. The instant-on experience of opening the lid of your laptop and having it ready to type is addictive. Everything else seems terribly slow to me now. Likewise the simple, fluid means of installing software (which are really just browser-based apps) is really wonderful compared even to the software stores on Windows and macOS.
+
+Google likes to tout support for Android apps as well when talking about ChromeOS, but there I've had less luck. If by apps you mean the top 50 apps in the Play Store then yes, support is pretty good. Alas, once you stray outside the big name apps, your odds of finding something that works drop considerably.
+
+While Google doesn't tout it's Linux support much, I found that to be nearly flawless. If you're a developer building apps for Google Platforms, The Galaxy Chromebook is one of the few that's up to the task. The Linux-based software tools you want are easy to install, and the i5 chip has the power to actually compile software. It's nowhere near desktop power, but if you want a development machine for Google-centric software projects, the Galaxy Chromebook is up to the task.
+
+This laptop makes sense for hardcore Google product users. If you live in Chrome, sync everything through Google Drive, post your photos to Google Photos, and email from Gmail, then the Samsung will serve you well.
+
+Samsung's latest high end Chromebook is a brilliant piece of hardware hamstrung by an OS that still feels half-baked, and worse, [mandates an expiration date](https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9367166?hl=en). The GEAR team already has a 2015 Chromebook Pixel that can't get updates (and therefore can't load Netflix among other things), do we need another?
+
+To be fair, this Samsung will receive updates until 2028, which right now feels like centuries away. And maybe that's good enough for you. In which case there is much here to love. From a hardware standpoint I have never used a nicer Chromebook. I just wish it ran Windows.

+Watching the heavens is possibly the oldest human hobby. Whether tracking the movement of planets for guidance, or simply because you looked up from the campfire to contemplate the smoky blue extent of the milky way, staring at the stars has long been a core of part of the human experience.
+
+With a pandemic raging about us, and the night sky virtually lost to light pollution the stars might seem a long way away. Few of us can see the milky way from our homes anymore, fewer still spend our nights around campfires, staring up at the sky. And that's too bad because there's a brand new comet, Comet Atlas, gracing our night sky right now. My kids an I watched it last night through a lens of a telescope. There was something calming knowing it's out there.
+
+I also have good news for anyone who'd also like to peer up at the stars: it's never been easier, never been better, even if, like me, terms like declination, inclination, and azimuth mean next to nothing to you. This is where Celestron's new StarSense Explorer auto-locating telescope and companion app came in. The StarSense Explorer eliminates the technical hurdles to using a telescope and lets anyone with a smartphone locate stars and nebulas.
+
+###Under The Milky Way
+
+Software on our phone and desktops have long simplified the night skies by mapping out planets, providing guides, even precise locations of objects. My personal favorite is [Stellarium](https://stellarium.org/), which can be used to control a telescope on a motorized mount. Unfortunately, motorized tripods are not cheap, and getting it all set up requires a good bit of effort.
+
+Celestron saw an opportunity to simplify things considerably. The company has taken the power of a star map and combined it with an affordable set of telescopes and mounts. The secret high tech ingredient is in fact, wonderfully low tech and completely fitting: a mirror.
+
+Yes, the magic here is a mount that sticks off the side of Celestron's telescope and holds your phone in place. The app uses your phone's camera, pointed down into the mirror, to figure out where your telescope is pointed, and the direct you which way to move it to find whatever you want to look at.
+
+The model I tested is the [Explorer DX 102AZ refractor telescope ($400)](){: rel=nofollow}. There's also the[ Explorer DX 130AZ ($400)](https://www.adorama.com/cnssedx130.html){: rel=nofollow}, a 130mm Newtonian reflector telescope. The [StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ ($180)](https://www.adorama.com/cnsselt114.html){: rel=nofollow}, a 114mm Newtonian reflector telescope, and the [StarSense Explorer LT 80AZ ($180)](https://www.adorama.com/cnsselt80.html){: rel=nofollow}, an 80mm refractor telescope round out the smartphone-enabled options.
+
+The package arrived in a single large box and I was a little worried about how hard it would be to setup, but fortunately the directions were simple and I had it up and running in just a few minutes. You need to calibrate it using a fixed object at about a quarter miles out (I used a stop sign). Then you download the app and drop your phone in the holder. Officially StarSense supports the iPhone 6 and up and "most newer Android phones". I used a Nokia 7.2, which is not officially supported, but worked fine for me.
+
+I was trying to test this in Athens GA in January and February which turned out to be some of the rainiest months on record. The first few nights I had it were mixed clouds but a full moon, so I started simple: I opened the app, tapped the moon and the arrows guided me around until I had the moon in my sights.
+
+The process of finding an object with the app is simple, you can search or you can pan around the interface and tap something you want to see. Then the app provides arrows directing you which direction to move the telescope. The fastest thing to do is move it by hand until you're close and then you use the provided slow-motion adjusters until the app says you're in the right place.
+
+That first night we managed to see the moon, Venus, Rigel, and Betelgeuse before the clouds took over. A couple weeks later we bright the telescope down to Edisto Island where the skies are significantly darker and it was even more fun. This time I was able to mix naked eye observations, followed by telescope observations in a way that seemed to really help my kids connect the thing in the lens, with the thing in the sky.
+
+I also attempted the opposite, setting up the Explorer right in front of some bright street lights with the sun just barely below the horizon and it had no trouble locating stars I could not see with my naked eye do to light pollution. That said, there are probably light pollution limits worth bearing in mind if you live, for example, in midtown Manhattan.
+
+The app is very well done, and offers plenty of objects to keep you busy for months worth of clear nights. I found that the objects recommended in the "Tonight's Best" menu were indeed some of the best things to observe. The trickiest part for me was my kids pointing up at the sky, saying, let's find that one, and then trying to find it in the app. I won't lie, I faked it once or twice, point the telescope roughly along the line of their fingers, and then picking a star at random in the app to zero in on.
+
+None of that detracted at all from the sense of wonder you get from this setup though. Celestron has done an amazing job of taking something that's very complex and distilling it into an experience that's approachable for anyone. If you've ever wanted to get into amateur astronomy but have been put off by cost or complexity, this is the setup you want. My only caution is that this may well serve as a gateway drug. Lately, I've found myself browsing through listings for far larger, more powerful telescopes.
+
+Right now all Celestron Explorer telescopes are [on sale at Adorama](https://www.adorama.com/l/?searchinfo=celestron+explorer){: rel=nofollow}, or directly through [Celestron](https://www.celestron.com/collections/limited-time-free-shipping){: rel=nofollow}, which is offering free shipping as well.

+The Venu is Garmin's attempt at a premium wearable, clearly aimed at those who find the Apple Watch appealing. The result is a dilettante watch that's good at nearly everything, but great at hardly anything. The software is nearly identical to other Garmin Vivoactive devices, and doesn't take advantage of the Venu's AMOLED display. You get the exercise animations for yoga, pilates, cardio, and strength routines, which is great for beginners, and look nice on the display, but it lacks the focus of Garmin's other watches aimed at specific types of athletes. Still if you want an all-around Garmin watch, the Venu is a good, if not great, watch.

+A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is like a tunnel you can use to pass through a public network, [protecting your data](https://www.wired.com/2017/03/want-use-vpn-protect-privacy-start/) from outside eyes. Whether you're worried about [ISP's selling your data](https://www.wired.com/2017/03/senate-prepares-send-internet-privacy-black-hole/), or want to stay safe on public WiFi, a VPN can help protect you.
+
+However, while a VPN will keep you safe at your local coffee shop, it does come with a cost. Using a VPN means your VPN provider will know everything about your browsing habits. This also make VPN providers a tempting target for hackers.
+
+This means picking the right VPN service is [serious business](https://drewdevault.com/2019/04/19/Your-VPN-is-a-serious-choice.html). Most VPN providers claim they keep no logs, but this is rarely verified. You're stuck taking companies at their word. For this reason we've limited our testing to VPN providers that have been independently audited and published the results.
+
+To help you sort out when and why you might want a VPN, as well as why you may not, be sure to read through our complete guide below. If you're already sure you want to use a VPN here are out top picks among commercial VPN providers.
+
+### Best for Most People
+
+[#image: /photos/5e59755dc880ec0008a5239b]||||||
+
+**[ExpressVPN](https://www.expressvpn.com/order){: rel=nofollow}**
+
+ExpressVPN is based out of the British Virgin Islands and is currently the only VPN that's been verified to not keep customer logs. ExpressVPN has been [independently audited](https://www.expressvpn.com/blog/pwc-audits-expressvpn-servers-to-confirm-essential-privacy-protections/), failed to produce logs in court, and even had the Turkish government [seize its servers](https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/social-media-posts-e-mails-of-turkish-policeman-who-killed-russian-ambassador-deleted-via-virtual-computer-124304) and find... nothing. When it comes to no logs, this is your best VPN bet.
+
+Even better for those of us not particularly worried about logs, ExpressVPN offers a great set of tools to simplify connecting to the company's VPN servers. There are apps for nearly every device, including home routers which, once set up, mean you don't have to worry about setting up apps on every device. On-the-go there are apps for Android, iOS, even the Nook special instruction.
+
+In my testing, ExpressVPN consistently offered the fastest connections and had the most reliable Netflix experience. Not only was I able to circumvent Netflix's country restrictions, ExpressVPN's network was plenty fast enough for HD streaming.
+
+**[ExpressVPN costs $6.67 per month if you buy one year up front](https://www.expressvpn.com/order){: rel=nofollow}**
+
+### Best For VPN Newcomers
+
+**[TunnelBear](https://www.tunnelbear.com/pricing){: rel=nofollow}**
+
+Choosing a VPN can be overwhelming. If you're tired of lock icons and security mumbo-jumbo TunnelBear might be just the VPN you're looking for. It's cute bear animations help de-mystify what VPNs do, how they work, and what they can do for you. Sometimes the easiest way to make technology more approachable is by putting a friendly face on it. 
+
+We're fans of TunnelBear's [password manager sibling, RememBear](https://www.wired.com/story/best-password-managers/) for the same reason. It's amazing how bears can put you at ease. 
+
+Don't worry though, TunnelBear isn't all cute bear animations. It has all the same security features of other VPN providers, has a [no-logging policy](https://www.tunnelbear.com/privacy-policy), good [privacy policy](https://www.tunnelbear.com/privacy-policy), and its been [independently audited](https://www.tunnelbear.com/blog/tunnelbear_public_security_audit/).
+
+In my testing speeds with TunnelBear were competitive with ExpressVPN. One of my favorite parts of TunnelBear is the free trial option, which makes it easy to test drive and see what your speeds are like without committing. TunnelBear has fewer geographic locations than our other options, but unless you're traveling abroad, or need to get around a specific geo-restriction, it shouldn't matter for most users. 
+
+**[TunnelBear costs $4.99 per month if you buy one year up front](https://www.tunnelbear.com/pricing){: rel=nofollow}.**
+### Best for Advanced Users
+
+**[Mullvad VPN](https://mullvad.net/){: rel=nofollow}**
+
+Mullvad is based in Sweden and first came to my attention because of its early support for [WireGuard](https://www.wireguard.com/), a [faster protocol for tunneling VPN traffic](https://www.wired.com/story/wireguard-gives-linux-faster-secure-vpn/). 
+
+Another option I like is Mullvad's cash payments. Yes, for total anonymity you can generate a random account number, write that number down, mail it, along with cash, to Sweden and in theory no one will be able to connect you to that account (the truly paranoid will don a tinfoil hat, wear gloves, print from a public printer, and mail from a remote mailbox).
+
+These edge case features aside, Mullvad offers a down-to-earth VPN service that doesn't overhype with its marketing, and helps users take additional steps to protect their privacy. For example the company has an entire page showing you how to [disable WebRTC in your web browser](https://mullvad.net/en/help/webrtc/). As long as WebRTC is enable (and it is by default in most browsers) websites can view your actual IP address even when you use a VPN.
+
+Mullvad offers apps for every major platform, as well as routers (note that the Android app is in beta). The applications are all open source and you can check them out on GitHub. They've been [independently audited](https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2018/9/24/read-results-security-audit-mullvad-app/) as well. Advanced users can download configuration files and use them directly with OpenVPN.
+
+In my testing speeds were good, though sometimes less consistently so than ExpressVPN. I never encountered a situation where I couldn't get a fast connection, but sometimes I did have to try a different servers to get speeds I was happy with.
+
+**[Mullvad VPN costs €5 per month](https://mullvad.net/en/account/create/){: rel=nofollow}**
+
+### How We Picked
+
+VPN providers like to claim they keep no logs, which means they know nothing about what you do using their services. There are a variety of reasons to be skeptical about this claim, namely that they have to have a user ID of some kind tied to a payment method, which means the potential to link you to your data exists. 
+
+For that reason I mainly limited my testing to providers that have either been subpoenaed for data in the U.S. or Europe and failed to produce logs, or have undergone a third-party security audit. While this is still no guarantee these providers aren't saving log data now, it provides a baseline to start filtering through the hundreds of VPN providers out there. 
+
+Using this criteria I narrowed the field to the most popular, reputable VPN providers, and began testing them over a variety of networks (4G, cable, FiOS, and plenty of painfully slow coffee shop networks) over the last nine months. I tested network speed, ease of use (how you connect), and also considered available payment methods, how often connections dropped, and any slowdowns encountered.
+
+### Why You Might Not Need a VPN
+
+It's important to understand not just what a VPN can do, but also what it *can't* do. As detailed above, VPNs are a like a tunnel. VPNs protect you from people trying to snoop on your traffic in transit. 
+
+Public networks make it easy for attackers to get a copy of your network data. If your data is being sent unencrypted—the website you're connecting to doesn't use HTTPS—the results can be disastrous. Web browsers make it easy to tell when your connection is secure, look for a green lock icon at the top of your screen. These days most websites connect over HTTPS, so you're probably fine. But if that green lock icon isn't there anyone can view whatever data you're sending. Unless you're using a VPN.  
+
+Adding a VPN protects even your unencrypted data from prying eyes. Be sure to check out [our guide to using a VPN](https://www.wired.com/2017/03/want-use-vpn-protect-privacy-start/) to make sure you have everything set up correctly.
+
+A VPN also changes your IP address, which protects your privacy to a degree. Unfortunately, this is not airtight. A web-based API known as WebRTC can leak your IP address even from behind a VPN. If this is a concern in your situation, make sure you disable WebRTC in your browser. Mullvad has instructions on how to [disable WebRTC in most browsers](https://mullvad.net/en/help/webrtc/).
+
+It's debatable how much masking your IP address really helps protect your privacy in the first place. You IP address is only one of many, many bits of data websites collect about you. If privacy is your concern, you're better off using web browsers (and extensions) that offer tools to protect your privacy, like [Mozilla Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/), or, if you want to get serious about privacy, the [Tor browser](https://www.torproject.org/download/). 
+
+To add to the confusion around VPNs, providers—even two of the ones I've recommended here unfortunately—often engage in misleading marketing. Nearly every VPN service website I visited had some kind of red banner claiming I was "not protected", even if I was using a VPN at the time. the problem is that I wasn't using *their* VPN. More honest VPN providers, like Mullvad, tell you what's actually happening: "you're not protect *by Mullvad*. Kudos to Mullvad for not using fear to sell. 
+
+Either way, the important thing to remember is that using a VPN does not make you anonymous. While VPNs may not be able to do much to protect your privacy, they are an essential tool to protect your unencrypted data over insecure networks. 
+
+If you want to circumvent some kind of geographic restriction on content, browse securely over open networks, or get around an ISP-level content filter, then a VPN is a useful tool.

There's even a [Developer Edition](https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8984107/type/dlg/sid/dellxps13review2020/https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-laptops-and-notebooks/new-xps-13-9300-developer-edition/spd/xps-13-9300-laptop/ctox13w10p1c2700u){: rel=nofollow} with Linux pre-installed if that's your jam.

+###Meet The New Boss
+
+I own a 2018 Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition, and setting this latest model -- which Dell has numbered the XPS 13 9300 -- next to it with the lids closed, it's nearly impossible to tell them apart. The outer form factor has remained the same for several years. 
+
+Once you open them up though, next to nothing looks the same. The most obvious improvement in the XPS 13 2020 edition is the new, larger screen. Dell's InfinityEdge display has always had some of the thinnest bezels on the market, on three sides anyway. But the bottom of previous models retained a larger bezel. No more. The newest XPS 13 features a tiny bezel all the way around. This changes the screen aspect ration to 16:10 and adds a very noticeable bit of extra screen real estate.
+
+I know what you're thinking, does half an inch really make that much difference? I want to say no because I don't feel like it should, but it totally does. It's really nice and I miss it every time I go back to the older model. That little bit of extra headroom makes web pages more readable, reading Slack less of a chore, and means I can see my images a little better when I edit them in [Darktable](https://darktable.org/).
+
+I am less thrilled about the new hinge, which Dell says is more "refined" and doesn't draw as much attention. It also doesn't work as well at keeping the lid closed, which is more what I want in a hinge. 
+
+The new hinge has a tendency to flop open when the XPS is held sideways. Dell tells WIRED that the new version is a variable torque hinge and it's set to be easy enough to open with one finger in the beginning, but then "tighten up as it gets up where you'd have it for using every day." In theory the problem of the laptop springing open when you don't want it to should go away. This was not a deal breaker defect to me anyway, but I do plan to hang onto this test model for a bit and see how it plays out given more use.
+
+My only other gripe is that one of the USB-C ports is gone. We're now at a paltry two, but fortunately they're on opposite sides of the machine, unlike the MacBook Air.
+
+The keyboard has seen a considerable revamp in the 2020 model. The old layout used split keys for the arrow keys, with (half) buttons for page up and page down on top of the left and right arrow keys. In this latest version the dedicated page buttons are gone. Instead the left and right arrow keys have become full size buttons, and to hit page up and page down you need to hold down the Fn key and hit the up/down arrow keys.
+
+As someone who never uses page keys, I much prefer the new layout. But if you *do* frequently use page up or page down the need to hold down the Fn key could be a considerable annoyance. 
+
+I still find the backlight contrast ratio with the white keyboard too low in all but the darkest of rooms. Otherwise though the slightly larger keys are welcome, especially Shift, Enter, and Caps Lock (which I map to Control so it's not a waste of space).
+
+The touchpad is slightly larger and does not seem to suffer from the stray right-click problem that I had with the previous model.
+
+The review model XPS 13 I tested was white with a tenth generation Intel Core i7 CPU, 16 GB of RAM, 512-gigabytes SSD, and the 3840x2400 4K display ([$1900 at Dell](https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8984107/type/dlg/sid/dellxps13review2020/https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/new-xps-13-laptop/spd/xps-13-9300-laptop/xn9300cto220s?configurationid=3627caef-4952-464a-bd5e-68b6d2fd5f8d){: rel=nofollow}), which is the best configuration available. It was more than enough power to handle my average day's work running a web browser, terminal, Zoom, Slack, and streaming music to a Bluetooth speaker. I put it though a benchmarking suite as well and found good performance for most use cases. I also pushed it by doing some video encoding and found that while it does heat up, it never got too hot to sit on the couch with the XPS in my lap.
+
+As with any machine, battery life on the XPS depends greatly on what you’re doing with it. On our standard video playback test at 75 percent brightness I got nearly 12 hours. That blows away the recent MacBook Air update, and is on par with the best in this class. At the same time, re-encoding some Battlestar Galactic DVDs with Handbrake reduced the battery life to barely over four hours. Somewhere in the middle is the everyday reality, which is that I was able to routinely work eight hours on this laptop without needing to worry about charging it. If you option for the model with the 1080 screen, expect your battery life to be even better.
+
+Dell has several models of XPS 13 9300 available. At the budget end there's a model with an Intel Core i3 with 4-gigabytes of RAM ($999, though not currently available). This model isn't going to have near the performance of the i7 chip tested here. It will be fine for web browsing, watching movies, and light office tasks, but if you plan to do more I suggest upgrading to the i5 or i7 models. The middle option of a Core i5, 8-gigabytes of RAM, a 512 SSD, and 1080 screen makes a [good deal at $1350](https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8984107/type/dlg/sid/dellxps13review2020/https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/new-xps-13-laptop/spd/xps-13-9300-laptop/xn9300cto220s?configurationid=5d90cb1e-1872-49d4-8951-3262e27296dc){: rel=nofollow}.
