How much are you spending on subscriptions every month? The answer is unlikely to be pleasant, even if you reckon you’ve got a fairly good idea. The streaming services are easy enough to remember, but what about everything else? When did you last look at your broadband bill? It’s gone up again, hasn’t it? Well, surprise! It all adds up, basically, and there’s even a term for it, because of course there is. It’s called “subscription creep”. You’ve probably heard of it. In fact, a OnePoll comissioned by Community Fibre survey found that respondents had seven contracts or subscriptions on…

Emulation on Android has been somewhat of a fascinating ride, and as the tech keeps on improving, so does the scope of these projects. We’ve already seen GTA 5 (PC) and certain PS3 games run surprisingly well on mobile hardware, and it was about time that Sony’s eighth-generation console made its way as well. Not many folks might be aware, but a PlayStation 4 emulator for Android exists, and it’s made rapid progress in the past few months alone, making it worth a try.

If you thought this NBA offseason has been entertaning, wait until the real thing starts. LeBron James, now entering a staggering 24th season as a pro, has swapped the Lakers for the Philadelphia 76ers. Giannis Antetokounmpo, meanwhile, is now a Miami Heat player. And the New York Knicks – yes, those perennially underachieving Knicks – are the defending champions after claiming their first title since 1973. It all tips off on Tuesday 20 October with a triple-header. The Boston Celtics visit the Detroit Pistons at 3pm ET. Then LeBron’s 76ers head to Madison Square Garden at 7pm ET to take…

One of my favorite things about owning a Google TV is that you can change almost anything you dislike about it. You just need the right app to do it. I’d already swapped out the default launcher a while back, and this time I had to do something about those streaming shortcuts on my remote because some of them were completely useless to me. Remapping wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought, and it gave my remote new superpowers I didn’t know it had.

Summary PS5 gains a dedicated anime hub next spring for shows, anime-inspired games, and Crunchyroll access. Hub aims to make anime easier to discover on PS5 without searching through existing media apps. It links shows, anime games and originals like Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. Coming next spring, Sony is planning to add a dedicated anime hub to the PS5 home screen. Per Sony’s official announcement, you can use it to watch many popular anime series, play anime-inspired games, and access Crunchyroll directly. The main premise behind this is to make anime easier to discover without needing to search through the…

I’ll admit a slight bias up front – I’m a big Suri fan. Its flagship brush currently sits at the top of our electric toothbrush buying guide. So when the Core 1.0 landed on my desk, I was hoping it would be just as good. Happily, it mostly is. In a market where premium brushes are racing to add cameras, AI coaching and app subscriptions, Suri has gone the other way. The Core 1.0 is a sonic toothbrush built around the essentials, and that’s it, really. Not just a Suri 1.0 in a plastic case The cheap route would have…

Looking for beard growing tips? Excellent. You’ve come to the right place. Because even patchy beards deserve a chance. So stop doomscrolling on your iPhone for five minutes, and let’s see what we can do. First things first, a little more length can help cover thin areas, while a different shape might suit the way your facial hair grows. It’s certainly worth giving yourself a chance to find out before deciding you can’t grow one. And after all that, you might end up preferring short stubble anyway. The aim is to find a beard you like wearing, without an itchy…

Struggle to keep on top of drinking enough water every day – espcially when it’s hot? Most hydration tracking methods fall somewhere between “guessing” and “expensive.” I tried Withing’s U-Scan pee monitor, which offered even more health insights than just hydration. But this health tracker didn’t come cheap at $380, with a subscription for new filters required as well. That’s why Vivoo’s new Smart Toilet sensor caught my eye. It promises to give you actual hydration data from your wee, all for a much lower one-time cost. This clip-on gadget sits quietly on the back of your toilet, waiting for…

If you’ve ever tried to record your kid’s soccer match or your local five-a-side game on a phone, you already know the problem. The action moves faster than you can follow, the ball ends up out of frame half the time, and by the third quarter your arm is aching from holding the camera steady. Team sports are genuinely hard to capture well, and that difficulty is a big part of why so few grassroots games ever make it to video at all. It’s not a niche issue either. Recent estimates suggest that around 78 percent of youth and amateur…

Govee is really getting its glow on for this year’s IFA show. The smart lighting expert has no fewer than three new launches – each apparently stuffed with as many AI smarts as they are colour-changing LEDs. Because not even light bulbs can escape artificial intelligence, apparently. The headline act is the Sky Ceiling Light, which is finally ready for public consumption after making its debut back in January at CES. If you need a refresher, it’s the next best thing to cutting a hole in your ceiling for a better view of the outside world, with custom LEDs that…
