It might be near impossible to be a kid these days without a smartphone, but AT&T wants to offer parents a decent compromise. The wireless carrier launched its AmiGO Jr. Phone, which combines Samsung hardware and AT&T's app, to offer kids a smartphone that has parental controls baked right in.
The AmiGO Jr. Phone is just a Samsung Galaxy A16, which still remains a solid budget smartphone pick with a 50-megapixel main camera, a 6.7-inch display and reliable battery life. However, AT&T tweaked the Samsung hardware into its kid-friendly smartphone by including features like live location tracking, safe zones and screentime restrictions that can be controlled via the AmiGO app. It's not the first time we've seen a smartphone with parental controls, since competitors like Bark and Pinwheel have been on the market for a couple of years now, but it's the first time a major mobile carrier is offering its own standalone product.
As for the AmiGO Jr. Phone, it's now available on AT&T's website for $3 a month, but you'll have to commit to a 36-month contract that provides bill credits.

First think about physical security
Your laptop should be a prized possession to look after. But what does that mean exactly? It means doing everything you can to prevent damage and/or theft. First off, you're going to need a drop resistant and waterproof laptop sleeve to prevent physical damage. The Voova Laptop Sleeve Case, for example, comes in various sizes and colors, and costs less than $20.
You should also always use a laptop lock if you're using your laptop out and about. It's not guaranteed protection, but it can be a big deterrent for thieves. Well-reviewed locks can also be found for as less than $20.
Eating and drinking near your laptop is risky business, especially drinking. All it takes is one spill to destroy a keyboard
