Summary Plex has announced new social features: lists, discussions, match scores, reactions, and more. These features are releasing in a staggered rollout — lists are available now in limited form, discussions will come in June, and the remaining features will roll out throughout the year. The features don’t seem like enough to turn sentiment around amid the backlash over upcoming price hikes. On June 3, Plex announced several new social features designed to help aid discovery on its streaming platform. Unfortunately, in light of the massive price hike announced last month, these features are falling a little flat. New social…
I’ve been really getting into running local LLMs lately, and Ollama has been a lifesaver. It’s a great tool, but I always felt like the interface left something to be desired. So I started looking for a proper UI that hooks into it, and turns out there are actually a few decent options, and I think I’ve found the perfect one for me. Related I hooked Obsidian to a local LLM and it beats NotebookLM at its own game My notes now talk back and it’s terrifyingly useful. Ollama is great… for developers I want something prettier Yadullah Abidi /…
It may not be possible to have watched enough nature documentaries to know you find them boring without having seen at least a few produced, narrated, or hosted by David Attenborough. That’s because the English media personality has been making these kinds of documentaries for so long — starting with Zoo Quest in 1954 — that he’s practically become synonymous with the genre. His iconic voice is so warm and soothing, and his name so trusted, that crypto scammers have tried to use his likeness to trick people online, knowing that marks are more likely to buy whatever they’re selling…
Finding your way around Apple News is ridiculously simple to navigate around. Along the bottom in the iOS app you’ll see five menu items: Today, News+, Audio, Following and a Search icon. Of these, Search will be your initial best friends, essentially continuing the work you started during set-up. Explore serves up suggested channels and topics based on the preferences you’ve already expressed. Search strips things back and lets you, um, search for specifics. There’s nothing cryptic going on here. Subscribe to channels and topics Like the look of any channels and topics you come across on your travels and…
The Mandalorian and Grogu is the first Star Wars movie to come out since The Rise of Skywalker hit theaters in 2019. In the meantime, the Star Wars franchise has been at a bit of a loss as to what to do with itself, churning out beloved TV series like Andor as well as limited series like The Book of Boba Fett, which most fans will agree is better left forgotten. The Mandalorian and Grogu has to feel big enough to satisfy longtime fans of the movies, targeted enough not to alienate those who are expecting a continuing of the…
One lazy Sunday, I was parked in front of my TV trying to watch a show, but the buffering wheel kept interrupting every few minutes. Somewhere between the third loading screen and my growing irritation, I noticed how filthy the TV had become. Dust was packed into the rear vents, the HDMI ports looked abandoned, and the screen had this dull layer over it that I’d somehow stopped noticing over time. Out of pure boredom, I unplugged everything and started cleaning it with a microfiber cloth, a soft brush around the vents, and a few minutes spent wiping years of…
Smart TVs are not just display panels with input selectors. Manufacturers have turned them into tracking networks built to log what you’re looking at. These TVs use Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) software to take constant visual or acoustic screenshots of your screen. Running this in the background makes the processor work harder than it needs to, and you get delayed remote commands and slow menus as a result. You need to turn it off as soon as you can.

If I had to choose between my OLED TV and oxygen, I’d have to give the matter serious thought … before reluctantly opting for O₂. Even though I adore “Light-Emitting Diode” displays, I have to admit this television tech has its flaws. As much as I worry about dreaded screen burn, there’s an equally annoying defect that can befall all manner of TVs, OLED or not. Said defect is the possibility of stuck pixels popping up. The threat of temporarily frozen pixels has loomed over many displays I’ve owned in the past, from smart TVs to the various iPads I’ve…

Introduction Incredibly, the BYD Ti7 already sells at a rate of 15,000 units a month in China. Over there, it lives under the slightly-less-snappy-than-BYD banner of FangChengBao; the UK is set to get essentially the same car I’ve just driven, but with BYD badging later in 2026. It’ll come with a four-wheel drive, plug-in powertrain complete with impressive EV only range of up to 79 miles, a premium seven seat interior and, naturally, a small mountain of top tech. I think it could do really well for buyers looking for value but with a big, bold persona that looks like…
