Netflix announced select smart TVs will no longer be compatible with the company's app starting December 2019. This includes models from big-name device manufacturers, which are now losing an essential feature they've had since day one. It's not uncommon for tech to grow outdated, but that's what updates are for, right? Will everyone with an affected TV be forced to buy new streaming devices?

Sick of false alarms

Q: I used to have a home security system, but I got sick of all the annoying notifications when nothing had even happened. Are todayâs systems better at weeding out real emergencies?

A: I get it. Those false notifications are a pain. All that stress for nothing. Thatâs part of why I love SimpliSafe. This home security system is actually smart. SimpliSafe uses Video Verification Technology to confirm break-ins, allowing police to get to the scene 3.5 times faster than all the other home security companies.

Which printer should I go with?

Q: I print a ton of recipes, articles and info I donât want to lose track of in my email or on my computer. Iâm due for a new printer, though. Iâve heard you recommend the Epson EcoTank. Whatâs so great about it?

A: First of all, Epson EcoTank printers come with a ridiculous amount of ink â enough to print 6,000 colored pages â so forget about spending money on those expensive ink cartridges. It's perfect for you, since you love to print a lot. I also love how sleek the EcoTank line is. I bought one for my son Ianâs college dorm room, and the white version looks so cool!Check out the full lineup at Epson.com/ecotankkim.
