Is your living room like a boneyard for old remotes? In the age of smart devices, having a separate plastic brick for each appliance in our home seems pretty dumb.

Maybe Christmas morning doesn’t come often enough. How else do you explain the full-blown obsession of millions of people who turn to YouTube to watch videos of someone opening boxes containing new products?

When you buy or download a digital video, it’s easy to imagine that you can get it to work on any screen you like, whether your Mac or PC, phone, tablet, etc. Unfortunately that’s just not how it works, with conflicting video and audio formats that might work in one context but not another. It’s an issue that this duo of MacX apps — MediaTrans and Video Converter Pro — solves offering conversion and transfer options for any audiovisual file type. And right now, you can get both for $29.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Along with dropping three new beta builds for iOS 10, tvOS and watchOS this morning, Apple has seeded a fourth beta of macOS Sierra for developers to test.

The upcoming update for Macs brings a ton of new features, including Siri for Mac, auto-unlock with Apple Watch, Apple Pay, better iCloud integration and more.
