For months, Claude and ChatGPT have been locked in a stalemate — which LLM was the quickest, the most powerful, the best? Up until now, many users felt that Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.7 had a slight edge in its larger context window, flexible writing styles, and superior data visualization, as well as some other key benefits. Well, that may be about to change. This week, OpenAI officially released GPT-5.5, internally code-named “Spud”. But this new model isn’t as potato-like as its nickname would imply. According to OpenAI’s official launch data, this model is a fundamental redesign aimed at “agentic” performance…

Looking for the best Kindle? We don’t blame you. Amazon’s Kindle devices are the most popular e-readers around for a reason with a great selection of titles to boot. Over the years, they’ve become incredibly good at replicating the experience of reading a book on their digital screens without the eye strain caused by more conventional tablets. And with the benefit of the electronic format being that you can access an entire library on a single, highly portable gadget. They also make reading cheaper and ebooks are more environmentally friendly than that pile of paperbacks you’ve been nursing, so e-readers…

Recently, I came to a realisation – the iPhone Air just isn’t enough for me and my sample is back in its box. That’s not to say it’s bad, because as I said in my review last year, there is much to love. It’s got a great design, it’s super light. It’s strong. It has Pro-level hardware. The display is bigger than all current iPhones aside from the Pro Max line. But there are some critical downsides aside from the not insignificant $999/$999 price point that puts it at a massive premium over the standard iPhone 17, which offers a…

The first thing you’ll notice when turning on a smart TV is flashy banners, rows of content and those annoying auto-playing previews. It’s chaotic and often more about pushing ads on your TV than helping you actually watch something. And the reason this feels normal is that almost every smart TV on the market is like that. Projectivy Launcher is an app that changes that. It strips away all the noise and gives you a clean and customizable home screen that is a joy to interact with. It’s the kind of experience that should be default, but somehow isn’t. Related…

Many of us love nothing better than to find a new show that we can sink tons of time into, growing with the characters over multiple seasons. But sometimes, you don’t have time for that, and need a show you can watch for an hour, leave for weeks on end, and come back without fear that you’ve lost the plot. In the distant past, shows like The Twilight Zone would scratch this itch, since each spooky sci-fi story stood on its own. You could jump in anywhere and know everything you needed to know. There are lots of modern shows…

There are a ton of ways to spend our time these days, and they’re all competing for attention. Gaming has been a huge draw for a long time, but as great as the latest games are, I’ve found that you don’t need to build a gaming PC and the latest blockbuster title to have some fun. Sometimes all you have to do is look back. Even at the age of 40-something-too-close-to-50, I’m a gamer. I’ve always been a gamer, going way back to the Atari 2600 my parents gave me in the 1980s. Gaming has come a long way since…

Once you’ve decided between iOS and Android, you’ve got dozens of brands to pick from (if you go down the Android route). Even going down the simpler iPhone route, there are still plenty of models to pick between. How much do you want to spend? And do you really need the latest model? With that in mind, we’ve made a simpler guide for picking out a new phone. Here are 6 common mistakes smartphone buyers…

There is no shortage of great detective series out there to watch, but one of the best on TV today has flown mostly under the radar. Dark Winds, an adaptation of Tony Hillerman’s Leaphorn & Chee books, wrapped up its fourth season not long ago, and most people who watch it end up raving about it. The problem is that not enough people watch it. But with 100% fresh ratings on Rotten Tomatoes across all four of its seasons, it’s finding more and more fans as it goes along. Dark Winds is a tightly written mystery show The cast is…

AirPods are comfortably the best-selling true wireless earbuds in the world and the excellent AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4 hammer home that advantage. But, given the various price points, deciding are the best AirPods for you is a difficult task – especially when there are so many rivals we consider among the best wireless earbuds on sale. In addition to the super-expensive AirPods Max 2, Apple sells three pairs of wireless buds – the AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4 (with and without ANC) and that’s before you get to its Beats range as well (but we’re going to…

Let me get this out of the way as early as possible: I’m a sucker for Ultra settings in PC games. Then again, I do have the luxury of leaning on a PC that costs more than my car. That doesn’t mean I wholeheartedly recommend using max settings in your favorite Steam titles. Far from it. As the proud owner of a Steam Deck OLED, I also know the benefits of compromising when it comes to graphical presets. The hard and fast truth is this: unless you own the most bleeding-edge PC hardware, ultra settings are rarely worth the fidelity…
