Imagine you have recently purchased the latest and best soundbar. You have put in a lot of research and time behind it, waited three days for its delivery, and spent almost an hour unboxing and setting it up. You plug it in with a cable to your TV, fire up a Marvel movie, and only hear audio, which is just fine. But you don’t invest so much money and time in a soundbar that just has fine audio. Most of the time, the culprit isn’t the soundbar or your TV. It is likely the cable that you used to connect…

Even at the world’s biggest sporting event, surprises happen, and there have been a fair few of them at Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics this year. The most recent surprise, and the cutest one, has four legs. During the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint, an unexpected athlete burst onto the course. Nazgûl, a wolfdog (presumably named after the dark riders from The Lord of the Rings), sprinted alongside competitors before charging straight over the finish line. And just like every human competitor, his finish was officially recorded. Omega’s Scan’O’Vision Ultimate photofinish camera – the same system used to separate Olympic…

Curved TVs never quite caught on, and for good reason. Their narrower viewing angles, awkward wall-mounting experience, and pricing that rarely justified the real-world benefits made them difficult to recommend. Over time, the novelty wore off, and the category quietly faded into the background. Even today, it’s hardly something people actively seek out. Flat TVs simply make more practical sense in a living room or bedroom setup. Mounted on a wall, they are easy to watch from anywhere, whether you’re stretched out on the couch or passing through the room, without needing to reposition yourself. Curved panels, on the other…

Operating systems don’t stand still. Last year, I rounded up the best iOS 26 tips, best iPadOS 26 tips and best macOS 26 Tahoe tips. Those remain solid starting points. But Apple’s kept tinkering, refining and occasionally surprising us since then. So here are ten of the best new features to land in iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS 26 over the past couple of months – and how to use them. Set a Reminders alarm Standard notifications are fine for ‘buy milk’. Less so for an urgent deadline about to fly past your ears. So open Reminders, tap or click a reminder’s info button, then…

I’ve really gotten into running LLMs locally lately, and after seeing all the cool things you can with MCP tools, I figured it was time to upgrade my own setup a bit. I initially jumped on the hype train when DeepSeek R1 launched, but since then, a ton of new models have come out. With how quickly everything is changing, I thought it only made sense to refine my workflow as well. LM Studio is the best local LLM app I’ve used (yet) Ollama is good, but I like this better I first started experimenting with local LLMs last year…

One of my favorite things to do at the end of the day is curl up on the couch or plop into my office chair with a movie or game in mind to help me wind down. But there was one thing I always wanted to do when I got my own place — set up those neat lights I always saw on YouTube from popular TechTubers. I’ve had a set of Govee light bars for a few years at this point, but even my upgraded LG TV in the living room didn’t have a proper USB port to plug…

Using Photoshop inside ChatGPT sounds like a heavyweight crashing a welterweight’s bout. Image generation is baked into ChatGPT after all, with DALL-E 3. But after running a sample batch of ten photos through it, I get the logic behind using an outsider like Photoshop as a connected app in ChatGPT. Even if you don’t get the full power of desktop Photoshop. That’s by design. Instead, the integration democratizes image editing into a natural-language conversation for everyone. Image editing is kept simple: describe the edit, wait a few seconds, and iterate. If you already lean on AI for generating images, this…

The weekend approaches, which means a chance to sit back and enjoy the latest TV shows coming to Netflix, which is forever replenishing its bottomless well of content. There’s a lot of stuff worth paying attention to this week, starting with these three headliners. The Night Agent (Thursday, February 18) The smash hit spy series returns By far the biggest release of the week is the third season of The Night Agent, which is one of the most popular shows on Netflix. It’s not quite a detective series, but there is a lot of high-stakes mystery involved. In the first…

2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, and watch brands have delivered a proper stampede of equine-themed releases. So, across multiple price points and watch styles, these are the ten watches that I think are genuinely worth your wrist space. These aren’t just lunar-calendar afterthoughts. Watchmakers have leaned into the theme with horse motifs that aren’t just slapped on, but integrated into dials, movements and finishes that feel really thoughtful. You’ve got elegant, high-horology pieces rooted in tradition. You’ve got bold, sporty watches packed with street style. And you’ve got, well, plenty of hooves. We’ve rounded up the most…

I love sinking my teeth into a meaty drama, but sometimes you want something a bit less demanding. There are lots of comedy shows out there that just want to make you laugh, and if you end up doing a little thinking in between, all the better. Such is the case with The ‘Burbs, a new Peacock original series based on the Tom Hanks movie of the same name from 1989. In that film, Hanks is a suburban native who teams up with his wacky neighbors to investigate his creepy neighbors. Is there really something wrong afoot, or is suburban…
