You can also get it at B&N and probably any local bookstore. https://t.co/Wk5LaACrCC

@caraellison Woah. Ok, I'm definitely going to check that out.

[Geoffrey Morrison @TechWriterGeoff]

@caraellison You are so right about Vangelis.

[Geoffrey Morrison @TechWriterGeoff]

Some news! My new book, Budget Travel for Dummies, will be available in January!

Guess I need to hurry up and finish writing it...

[Geoffrey Morrison @TechWriterGeoff]

@JVandls Maybe? Optical might be a safer bet. You wouldn't get Atmos but through a soundbar Atmos isn't a huge deal.

[Geoffrey Morrison @TechWriterGeoff]

@harrytlambert Sure

Hi all. I don't tweet much anymore because the fun got sucked out of it by you know who. I've got some cool news to share soon, but for now, be kind.

Oh, and this blue check was fun for a while but I'll be glad it's gone. There's no scenario where I'd pay to create content.

@BriannaWu AI is also making up links that look real. So even if it cites sources those sources might be totally fabricated.

@El_pana86 FWIW new models will be announced next week at CES.

[Geoffrey Morrison @TechWriterGeoff]

@El_pana86 OLED (LG, some Sony) or if you can afford it, QD-OLED (Samsung, some Sony)

@Lars_G @jayforeman It changes a lot each year, and new TVs will be announced next week at CES. MiniLED is a good step between regular LED LCD and OLED, and the prices of those are dropping all the time.

[Geoffrey Morrison @TechWriterGeoff]

@Lars_G @jayforeman That said, even budget TVs look great these days, so I wouldn't stress about it.

[Geoffrey Morrison @TechWriterGeoff]

@kn0tsin @jayforeman Ah, hadn't tested those. Well that makes sense since it's Amazon.

Selling your data is the main reason TVs are as cheap as they are now, so this is going to be an uphill battle.

[Geoffrey Morrison @TechWriterGeoff]

@kn0tsin @jayforeman You don't have to connect a TV to the internet, but it will limit or prevent you from getting firmware updates.

There is no such thing as a "dumb" TV anymore.
