Sonos is reportedly launching its new Roam speaker during a March 9 virtual event. Ahead of the launch, we're learning about some of the portable speaker's advantages over other Sonos products. It will reportedly have a Sound Swap feature that will reportedly let you pass audio playing on the Roam to another nearby Sonos speaker. All you have to do is hold the play/pause button. Theoretically, that means it's much easier to transfer from one room to the other and have your music or other audio content follow you around the house.

Time to say goodbye to the Apple iMac Pro

The premium Apple iMac Pro is going away. Apple is discontinuing the build-to-order desktop computer. While the default model, sans the extra bells and whistles, is still available, the company only plans to sell it until supplies last. 

It has been four years since Apple introduced the iMac Pro. And the company seems to think it's an appropriate time to say goodbye to this device. Some tech sites speculate that this might mean that Apple is introducing a refreshed iMac product line soon. We can't say anything for now, but we're keeping our eyes peeled for that possibility.

Covid and Eyecare in Ontario

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live for the foreseeable future. Not only has how you shop, how you work, and how you play changed, but the way you will be able to access healthcare has also changed. 

Certain health checks, if not most, require the patient and the medical professional to be in one another’s immediate vicinity. Social distancing is not generally possible, and as such, there have been changes to the way healthcare can be accessed. Many people are putting off routine health checks because of social distancing rules and not knowing whether their healthcare providers are COVID safe.
