Thanks to webOS, LG’s smart TVs come loaded with a ton of preinstalled apps. Streaming staples like YouTube, Disney+, Apple TV, and Prime Video automatically populate the home screen right out of the box. And while it’s nice to have them there, LG does let you uninstall the ones you don’t use, which makes it easy to declutter your TV. However, back in December, LG suddenly added the Microsoft Copilot app to its smart TVs — and unlike the other apps, you couldn’t uninstall it. That didn’t sit well with many users, myself included. LG faced significant backlash for adding…

Residents of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic endured a formidable winter in 2025-2026, marked by several high-impact storms and prolonged stretches of cold temperatures that left parts of the Chesapeake Bay frozen over.

The mosaic combines two Landsat scenes acquired on February 7 with a third captured on February 8. The landscape is shown in false color (MSS bands 6-5-4), in which ice appears in…
