I might overpack clothes when I travel (yes, I definitely needed that extra pair of shoes), but I’m much pickier about the apps on my phone. Don’t get me wrong, I still have plenty, but I’ve organised them into neat little folders, and I’ve especially curated the travel folder. Many travel apps have come and gone over the years (RIP, the currency converter that thought a Euro was worth two quid), but the survivors have all earned their place by getting me out of a pickle more than once. This isn’t a definitive list of every travel app out there,…

Summary A developer got Game Boy games running at around 30FPS on a tiny ESP32-powered e-paper display.

GTA V may be over a decade old, but it still requires a decent machine and a game purchase before you can start playing. But for a brief moment, a site appeared to run the massive open-world game locally inside Chrome. And no, it wasn’t a streaming hack. This game ran within the browser. The project disappeared quickly, but it has since forced a question. Now that browsers have the processing power, memory, graphics access, and tooling to run games like GTA V, what comes next? Related I tried the browser made for gamers, and it has a feature every…

Gemini is pretty much everywhere these days. Whether you’re using a smartphone, laptop, or even a smart TV, you can’t escape Google’s AI assistant. Honestly, I’ve never been a huge fan of using Gemini, so when Google started bringing it to smart TVs, I didn’t think much of it. I figured I’d probably ignore it there, too. But something interesting happened recently. After updating my Android TV, I noticed the Gemini icon popping up, so out of curiosity, I decided to try it. To my surprise, I actually enjoyed using it, and now, I think it might be one of…
We’ve tested every phone on this list ourselves, so you can trust our picks. We treat each handset like a daily driver – not a staged demo – and that makes a big difference to the recommendations we give. Typically, we spend a week or more with each phone, using it for calls, streaming, navigation, photos, messaging and gaming. That hands-on time lets us spot real-world strengths and quirks that a quick bench test would miss. We stress-test performance by multitasking and running demanding games like Genshin Impact or Call of Duty: Mobile, check battery life across different usage patterns,…
