Newport Town will be hoping the magic of the cup plays its part as the League Two side look to pull off a major shock against Premier League heavyweights Manchester United.

Having beaten National League side Eastleigh in a replay to line up this clash, Newport will be hoping the compact surroundings of Rodney Parade will prove a hostile environment for their esteemed opponents.

Man United have had a challenging season so far, and will be keen to successfully negotiate this potential banana skin, with Erik ten Hag set to name a strong side having had a fortnight’s break.

Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live, wherever you are in the world.

Newport County vs. Manchester United: When and where?

Newport County host Manchester United in this FA Cup fourth-round tie at Rodney Parade on Sunday, Jan. 28. Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. GMT local time in the UK (11:30 a.m. ET, 8:30 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 2:30 a.m. AEDT on Monday, Jan. 29 in Australia).

How to watch the Newport County vs. Man United game online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the FA Cup using a VPN

• With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming FA Cup matches may vary.
• If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
• If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
• And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.

Microsoft Office is probably one of the most popular software suites in the world. But, unfortunately, it is very expensive, with a Microsoft Office Pro 2021 license running you a massive $440 if you buy it from Microsoft directly. Luckily, StackSocial is running a great offer on a lifetime license that knocks h off both the Mac and Windows versions, which brings the price down to just $70. Of course, if that’s still a bit too pricey for you, then you could go for Office Pro Plus 2019, which is significantly cheaper.

Just note that Mac users will get only the basic Home and Business suite, while Windows users will get the Professional suite, which includes Office Publisher and Office Access as well.

StackSocial’s deal is a great bargain when compared with the online Microsoft 365 subscription suite, which starts at $7 a month or $70 a year for individuals. There’s a free online version of Microsoft Office that you can use as well, but it isn’t nearly as feature complete. (Separately — and notably — Apple users should be aware that Outlook is now a free app for the Mac.)

Now, a deal this good comes with some caveats. First, the code provided can be used one time for a single computer, so you won’t be able to install it on multiple machines in your home, and if your current computer happens to die, you could run into a snag when trying to transfer it. Likewise, you’re passing up on other benefits you’d get as a 365 subscriber. You won’t get any OneDrive Cloud Storage, nor will you get the fancy new cloud-based AI features like Microsoft Copilot. And while the apps should continue to work as long as your computer does, Microsoft’s support for this version of Office ends on Oct. 13, 2026.

To that last point: Though this is listed as a “lifetime license” — that is, the lifetime of the computer you installed it on — it’s worth noting there’s always a risk that Microsoft could terminate the license. But versions of StackSocial’s deal have been running for more than a year — the one we bought in early 2022, for instance, still works fine.

After winning a frigid game against the Dolphins at home to open the playoffs, the Kansas City Chiefs went up Buffalo this past weekend and took down the Bills yet again in the playoffs to advance to the AFC’s Conference Championship game. Awaiting Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and co. are the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens who, after an even first half, beat down the Houston Texans 34-10 at home behind four total touchdowns by star quarterback and MVP-favorite Lamar Jackson.

As the AFC’s number one seed, the Ravens continue their home-field advantage for this AFC championship game. The victor heads to Las Vegas to take on the winner of Sunday’s NFC championship contest between the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11.

Kick-off for today’s game is called for 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT) on CBS and Paramount Plus. Here is how you can watch, stream and follow along.

Chiefs vs. Ravensgame today: When and where?

This Conference Championship matchup sees the Ravens host the Chiefs at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT) on Sunday. The game will take place at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, home of the Ravens.

How to watch Chiefs vs. Ravens in the US

Sunday’s Chiefs-Ravens game is on CBS nationally. The good news for football fans is that CBS is available on most of the major live TV streaming services. The least expensive option is Paramount Plus.

Numerous other live TV streaming services carry local CBS stations as well, namely YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV, DirecTV Stream and Fubo. They all cost far more than Paramount Plus, but they also carry many live channels, including football broadcasting channels like Fox and ESPN. Check out our live TV streaming services guide for details.

All the live TV streaming services above offer free trials, allow you to cancel anytime and require a solid internet connection. Looking for more information? Check out our live TV streaming services guide.

An over-the-air antenna connected to your TV provides another option for CBS. The best part about antennas is that there are no streaming or monthly fees required, although you will need to make sure you have good reception.

Championship side Norwich will be hoping to capitalise on the uncertainty on Merseyside as they travel to Anfield on Sunday to take on Liverpool in this FA Cup fourth-round clash.

Reds fans are still reeling from Friday’s shock news that manager Jürgen Klopp is set to leave the club at the end of the season. The departing boss will be determined for his side to continue their run of nine games unbeaten as he looks to make it to a second Wembley final in his last term in charge, having already steered his side to the Carabao Cup final in midweek.

It’s been more than three decades since the Canaries last beat Liverpool and David Wagner’s men come into this clash off the back of a damaging league defeat against Leeds United.

Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live, wherever you are in the world.

Three-time finalist Daniil Medvedev will be hoping 2024 will finally be his year at Melbourne Park, as he takes on Jannik Sinner in the Men’s Australian Open final on Sunday.

The Russian world No. 3 had to battle back from a set down to see off bitter rival Alexander Zverev in a grueling four-hour marathon at the Rod Laver Arena on Friday.

He now faces Italian star Sinner, who pulled off arguably the result of the tournament in his semifinal, beating 10-time Aussie Open winner Novak Djokovic in four sets to reach his first grand slam final.

Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch this match live wherever you are in the world.

Jannik Sinner vs. Daniil Medvedev: When and where?

The 2024 Australian Open men’s final match between Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev takes place on Sunday, Jan. 27 at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne Park no earlier than 7:30 p.m. AEDT local time. That makes it a 3:30 a.m. ET, 12:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and an 8:30 a.m. start in the UK.

How to watch the Australian Open 2024 online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the tournament locally, you may need a different way to watch games — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. If your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming.

3D printers can be a lot of fun, whether you’re using them to make figurines or to whip up cosplay outfits with custom parts. Of course, if you’re familiar with 3D printing in general, you know that good printers can get expensive. Luckily, one of our favorite 3D printers, the Bambu Lab A1 Mini is on sale at a 10% discount when you use the code A1M-NY-10 at checkout. In fact, the deal applies to the combo that includes the filament holder, which we very much encourage you to grab as a bundle.

The code knocks the original $459 price tag down to $413, which is a nice little discount to get you started. Just be aware that the offer ends Feb. 19, so be sure to grab it before then.

For the most part, the A1 Mini is made for folks who are just getting into the 3D-printing world and don’t want to sit around and deal with finicky printers. So it’s designed to be easy to assemble and get going, and it even has auto-calibration so you don’t have to mess around with leveling the bed. It also prints at an impressive maximum speed of 500mm/s, though more realistically you’re going to be printing at around 180mm/s. That’s still a lot faster than other printers of this size, so it’s still excellent, even at the lower speed.

Where the A1 Mini really stands out is when you combine it with the AMS Lite system, which lets you print with four different filaments at the same time. That’s pretty rare at this price point, so it’s well worth considering. That said, the AMS Lite doesn’t work with other Bambu printers, so it’s not versatile, and the whole thing does take up a lot of space, even though the print bed is only 180mm across, so you have to account for that, too.

Though it does have some negatives, the price, ease of use, and ability to print four filaments at a time easily overcome those issues, so be sure to grab this before Feb. 19 if you like it. Otherwise, be sure to check out some of these other great 3D printer deals.

When Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 Ultra at its Unpacked event earlier this month, you’d be forgiven if you forgot that there were two other phones introduced: the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus. The hype for the Ultra (and the Galaxy Ring) mostly overshadowed the other two. And that’s a shame because after using the S24 and S24 Plus for the past two days, I’m starting to think that the best Samsung phone to get in 2024 might not be the Ultra.

Most of my time has been spent testing the Galaxy S24 Plus which has been an absolute delight. If the S24 Plus were an illustration, it would basically be the Venn diagram overlap between the regular S24 and the S24 Ultra. But this year, the S24 Plus skews a bit more towards the Ultra, and the Ultra skews a bit more expensive, thanks to a $100 price increase. All of this has become a bit of a conundrum for me as I got to know the S24 Plus better. Is the $1,000 ( 999, AU$1,699) Galaxy S24 Plus a poor man’s Ultra?

While its aluminum design, squared off sides and iPhone-like rounded corners are just a bigger version of the regular S24, the Galaxy S24 Plus has a new screen that has the same resolution as the S24 Ultra. In fact, since the S24 Plus has a smaller 6.7-inch display, compared to the 6.8-inch one on the Ultra, the Plus actually has a higher pixel density. It’s only an 8-pixel difference and I know most people can’t see it. I can’t see it myself, but in my heart I know it’s more and that’s something.

The Plus and Ultra have the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, screen brightness and resolution, RAM, Galaxy AI features and storage options (except 1TB is reserved only for the Ultra). The Ultra is made of titanium instead of aluminum, has an ever-so-slightly bigger battery, houses an S Pen and, of course, has better cameras (on paper).

But now that the Ultra is $1,300, it costs $300 more than the S24 Plus. While I need to test the S24 Plus more to see if that $300 gap is worth it or not, the Plus has already made an impression on me after just a couple of days.

During my testing, the S24 Plus lasted two days on a single charge, ending the second day at 11 p.m. with the battery at 11%. The S24 Plus has a larger 4,900-mAh battery than last year’s S23 Plus, which has a 4,700-mAh battery. The first day of use involved a lot of downloading, having the screen on at full brightness for a photoshoot in the morning and then keeping the screen at full brightness for a video shoot in the afternoon. And that was all while trying out new features like Circle to Search throughout the day. The Plus’ battery ended the first day at 38%.

The second day was a bit more normal in terms of my workflow. I tried more new AI features. The phone can expand a photo’s frame to show parts that were cut off, and it can erase an object from an image. I’m obsessed with keeping the horizons on my photos level (sorry, my dad was an architect) so being able to straighten a photo and then use the S24 Plus’ onboard AI, called Generative Edit, to create new edges seemed too good to be true. The results weren’t great, but they weren’t horrible either.

I had a similar experience using the same Generative Edit tool on photos. The untouched photo below is of my CNET colleague Mariel Myers.

Take a look below at another version of the photo. Using the edit tool, I moved the striped pillow, enlarged it and repositioned it above Mariel’s head. I also straightened the photo, then let the AI do its thing. The results? For better or worse, it’s obvious that something has been altered, but it’s still fun. The fill around the photo’s edges and the background fill where the couch pillow was look off. Note that the bottom left corner now has a tiny AI watermark to let you know that the photo was altered. The photo’s EXIF data also includes a “Modified with Generative edit” label.

I did one more version, which you can see below. This time I moved the coffee cup from the table, enlarged it and placed it above Mariel’s head. The S24 Plus did a better job filling things in here. The part of the table the phone’s AI generated to fill in where the coffee cup was looks decent on a first glance. If you look closer though, you can tell something was altered on that corner.

Let’s come back to the Circle To Search feature. It should really be called Circle To Buy — it’s like having Google Lens built right into the screen. If there’s an image being shown on a website, app or social feed you can circle it, or a part of it, to start an instant Google search.

I came across a photo of a dog wearing sunglasses while on Instagram (which I immediately liked of course). I pressed and held the home button for a second, then circled the dog in the image. Search results for bulldogs populated the bottom of the screen. I tried the feature again on the same photo, this time circling the dog’s sunglasses. The search results showed that the glasses were from Prada (this was clearly a fancy dog) and included several different options to buy them. And no, though I was tempted, I did not.

The S24 Plus has the same cameras on the back as the S23 Plus: a trio of wide, ultrawide and telephoto lenses. The main camera has a 50-megapixel sensor. Below are a few photos I took with the main camera and as you can see in good lighting, images look great. No surprise there.

So after two days, I can only come to one conclusion about the Galaxy S24 Plus: I have a lot more testing to do. My full impressions will be coming soon in a future review. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to solve my Ultra vs. Plus conundrum, too.

If you want to shake up your emoji life and you have an iPhone, you’ve now got 118 new ways to do it. Emojis are elaborate and creative these days, with the newest update adding a lime and a phoenix, among other images. The new, colorful little icons are now available on the iPhone, but only as part of the iOS 17.4 beta. Folks not using the beta version will have to wait for the final public release of iOS 17.4, expected in March or April.

Some of the emoji — like the phoenix, brown mushroom, lime and a broken chain — are new. Others are variations of emoji that already exist, with different skin tones or simply turned in a different direction. Those adjusted emoji include people walking, running, kneeling, using wheelchairs and using white canes. There are also four new gender-neutral family group emoji.

You won’t be able to find these new emoji on your keyboard just yet, though. While version 15.1.0 of the Unicode was approved on Sept. 12 (you can read all of it here), there’s always a lag between the approval and its release. Emojipedia had estimated that the new emoji would be available in early 2024.

It’s also likely that each emoji’s appearance will be slightly different depending on whether you use an Apple or Android smartphone.

The emoji update before this one included a long-awaited pink heart, a shaking-head smiley and a donkey, moose and goose.

Honestly, though, according to emoji reference site Emojipedia, it’s the simple emoji that really resonate with users. The top three most-used emoji in 2023 were the crying with laughter face, the rolling on the floor laughing face and the simple red heart, Emojipedia Editor in Chief Keith Broni said, according to the New York Post. Of the new emojis released in 2023, three hearts with different colors — pink, blue and gray — were among the most popular, along with the shaking face.

Here are tips on how to decipher certain emoji, plus five emoji keyboards that make texting more fun. And those emoji won’t be worth much without a phone, so here’s CNET’s guide to the best Apple phone for 2024, plus the best Samsung Galaxy phone, and the best overall Android phone. If option paralysis has set in, here’s how to pick the best smartphone for your needs.

There’s no point spending potentially hundreds of dollars on a fancy phone, such as the latest iPhone and Samsung, and not also buying a good quality case for them. While it’s true that a stylish and rugged case for phones can get a bit pricey, Rokform is having a massive 20% discount on everything sitewide when using the promo code ROK2024 at checkout.

Rokform has rugged cases to fit current flagship lineups, from base models all the way to the larger iPhone 15 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. They usually go for $70 each, but this discount drops the cost to under $56. You can also save on cases that’ll fit older models as well as select iPads, which is nice since there aren’t a ton of options for rugged iPad covers out there.

You’ll find other discounts too, such as the MagSafe sport ring to serve as both a stand and a grip for $32 ($8 in savings), a magnetic windshield suction mount for $48 (a $12 savings). Three are even motorcycle and bike mounts, as well as plenty of other accessories you can grab for some pretty great prices.
