Question: Is there a way for me to reboot my Wi-Fi network when I'm on vacation so I can reconnect to all of my smart home devices? Answer: The popularity of smart home devices has put a whole new emphasis on having a solid Internet connection at home. Web cams, motion sensing lights and your perimeter monitoring devices can't alert you if they lose their connection to your network. You've probably seen how rebooting your computer can solve lots of simple issues. The same holds true for your router and Internet modem because they're essentially small computer systems.

The video game that helped create the term "loot shooter" is back. On Friday, publisher 2K Games released "Borderlands 3," the long-anticipated sequel from the video game franchise developed 10 years ago by studio Gearbox Software. The game, which serves as the proper follow-up to 2012's "Borderlands 2," features four Vault Hunters seeking unlimited treasures on the planet Pandora and beyond.

Many airports hope to start using biometric scanners in lieu of passports to identify travelers. Buzz60's Tony Spitz has the details. The next time you go to the airport you might notice something different as part of the security process: A machine scanning your face to verify your identity. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has been working with airlines to implement biometric face scanners in domestic airports to better streamline security. But how does the process work?

Former Olympian and personal trainer Julia Russell tries out a pair of new AR swimmers goggles from FORM. One summer weekend, I was granted two-day access to a nearby resort-style fitness facility with a deluxe indoor pool. So I went for a swim – while connected, of course. Before leaving my apartment, I grabbed my iPhone (selfie or it didn't happen), packed a pair of swimming trunks, and headed toward the door before realizing, "I forgot to charge my goggles." FORM, developed by a Vancouver-based startup, is what happens when your typical pair of swim goggles receive a total 2.0 upgrade.

With Prime Day just around the corner, here are 5 products on Amazon that truly deserve their 5-star ratings AND a spot in your shopping cart. Has Amazon Prime Day become the new Black Friday? For the fifth July in a row, the country's biggest e-commerce marketplace – it now accounts for about 50% of all U.S. retail sales, according to eMarketer – offers aggressive discounts on several products, in a variety of categories.

Tin foil is one way to keep modern car key fobs safe from creative thieves. Kim Komando explains the technology -- and how to keep them safe. In March, a Tesla Model 3 was hacked. The duo responsible for uncovering the vulnerability accessed the car's web browser, executed code on its firmware and displayed a message on the infotainment system before making off with the Model 3 and $375,000. The hackers didn't remotely take total control of the car or wreak havoc on its door locks or brakes while an innocent driver sat inside.

Tech columnist Kim Komando shows you the settings you need to change on Amazon settings to safeguard your privacy. Amazon is not only watching over your shopping, TV viewing, music listening and book reading histories, it's also listening to you at home, or in the car. At least that's how it is in my household, where I have two Amazon Echo speakers – one in the kitchen and another in the garage, plus a car accessory to bring the Alexa personal assistant along with me on drives. I don't have a lot of smart home devices, but if I did, Amazon would have access to my doorbell and security – who's coming and going – and more. At the Amazon CES booth in 2019, the e-tailer showed off many products that work with Alexa. Unlike Facebook and Google, which slyly follow you around on your mobile phone and elsewhere to slip in more product sells, even if you're not using their apps, Amazon is rather upfront about the information it collects, even if it's hidden in several pages of a help menu.

Three distinct sounds were detected by NASA's Insight Lander while sitting on Mars' surface. The first "Mars quake" has been detected, NASA announced Tuesday. The finding "officially kicks off a new field: Martian seismology!," said Bruce Banerdt of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. NASA said this is the first trembling that appears to have come from inside the planet, as opposed to being caused by forces above the surface, such as wind. The sound was detected by NASA's Insight Lander, a robot spacecraft that's now sitting on the Martian surface.

Shares of Qualcomm soared 23% Tuesday – and remained up Wednesday – in the wake of a late-afternoon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, wherein the company announced that it reached a "multi-year" "global patent license agreement" and "chipset supply agreement" with Apple that settles the companies' yearslong intellectual property litigation and appears likely to work out to the benefit of both parties. In said filing with the SEC, Qualcomm states that as of April 1, 2019, it has directly licensed its relevant patents to Apple for at least the next six years, with the option to extend the agreement for an additional two years. Moreover, Qualcomm will supply chipsets to Apple for use in the latter's devices for several years at least. In exchange, Apple will make a one-time payment of an unspecified amount to Qualcomm, and pay continuing royalties to boot – also in an amount unspecified. Robotic advances: Mush! Watch a team of Boston Dynamics' SpotMini robot dogs pull a truck down the street Finally, "all worldwide litigation" between the two combatants "will be dismissed and withdrawn," including lawsuits against Apple's contract manufacturers. Qualcomm is expected to report earnings on May 1, at which time the company promises to provide "further updates" on the details of its agreement with Apple.

Jefferson Graham takes a look at two products that bring Alexa and voice-activated controls to the auto, Garmin Speak and Roav Viv. LOS ANGELES -- "Alexa, what music should I listen to?" It's an interesting question that follows up with Amazon's Alexa asking follow-ups, one of the few times the personal assistant gets really conversational and makes suggestions. Alexa, via Amazon Music, gave me options: the late, legendary gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt or singers Adele or James Taylor. I went for Django, and with that, my personal DJ robot had followed through successfully, finding three artists I love. Such it is with music commands for personal assistants.
