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…

Plex surprises me with its suite of features, from its ability to work with useful add-ons to its ability to access personal images, like my own cloud storage. Not to mention the companion apps, like Plexamp, which is my personal favorite media player for playing back my CD collection. Fortunately, Plex isn’t done surprising me, because I dug deeper into the settings and found several useful tools that completely changed how I use it. As it turned out, I could use it for more than streaming my personal collection of movies and series—I can stream so much more, and then…

It’s fair to say I’m predisposed to Evercade. I grew up in gaming’s golden age. Everyone says that, of course. But I’m right because my era was packed full of pioneering arcade games and 8- and 16-bit classics, before Sony came along and ruined everything with the PlayStation. Back then, you even owned your games. Imagine! Lately, Sony (among others) has ruined that too, arguing that only massive idiots don’t realise their digital purchases aren’t theirs to own forever. Blaze has long been fighting the good fight against such hideousness by way of its Evercade line. This ecosystem is so…

The compact electric cars keep on coming and, as a fan, that is fine by me. Latest arrival is this, the Hyundai Ioniq 3, which is not only practical, comfy and great fun to drive, but comes very competitively priced too. The base-level Advance model can be had from just £22,245 (or just £18,495 if you factor in the UK government’s Electric Car Grant – and no, it won’t be launching in the USA), which makes it more than able to take on close rivals and personal favourites like the Renault 5, Cupra Raval or Cupra Born as well as…

It wasn’t that long ago that faking a convincing photo required Photoshop skills and a free weekend. Now, any half-decent phone can scrub a stranger from your holiday snap in a couple of taps, and AI image generators will happily knock up a ‘photo’ of a shark swimming down Oxford Street faster than it takes to make a cuppa. Great if a photobomber ruined your otherwise perfect Empire State Building selfie, but not so great if you’re trying to work out whether a picture you’ve seen online is legit. Apple’s answer is Reference Image, a new camera mode that arrives…

As someone who takes a lot of photographs and loves to be reminded of the good times, I love digital photo frames and have been putting them to the test for years. For me, being able to constantly update and show off new shots that would otherwise be gathering digital dust on my smartphone, without having a ton of dust-gathering traditional frames everywhere is priceless. In this test I looked at two affordable digital photo frames, the Pexar VivKeep Pro 12.5in, $250/ £230, and the Nixplay Classic 10.1in HD, $140, £150, to see which is best. Design Although lightweight and…

Okay, so the Apple iPad Mini 8 technically doesn’t officially exist. But we all know it’s coming. After all, Apple isn’t the type to rest on its laurels when it comes to refreshes, and tablets are no exception. Nothing has been officially announced, of course, but there are enough whispers, rumours, and analyst insights to paint a reasonably clear picture of what to expect. Here’s everything we know so far about the iPad Mini 8. Oh, and all the images in this article are of the current-generation iPad Mini 7. We haven’t got a super-secret Apple prototype or anything. Honest.…

Some races on the F1 calendar are just races. Singapore is an event. Since 2008, Marina Bay’s floodlit street circuit has turned the city’s financial district into motorsport’s most dazzling backdrop, not to mention one of its most punishing. Five kilometres of bumpy tarmac plus heat and humidity that can see drivers lose up to 3kg during a Grand Prix make this a real test – for driver and machine alike. This year there’s more than usual to look forward to. The 2026 Singapore Grand Prix runs from 9-11 October and is the circuit’s first-ever Sprint weekend. It’s also the…
