I’ll be honest. I’ve never really understood sporty SUVs. You either get a large and comfortable but slow SUV like a Range Rover, or a low, sexy, impractical supercar like the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. But one filthy December night, with rain hammering sideways, roads shining black under headlights, hands cold even before I’d opened the door, the Aston Martin DBX S made its case. And annoyingly, it did a very good job. My drive started late after a long day of festive celebrations. I didn’t fancy driving at all, especially a 727PS luxury SUV on sodden British roads. The…
I live in the UK and so January is grim. Christmas is over and all that’s left to look forward to is months of grey until the sun finally pierces the clouds sometime towards the end of March. To make matters worse, tradition dictates I should prime myself for subsequent disappointment by announcing resolutions designed to make me a better person. Because I write about gadgets, phones and tech, mine are about that. Feel free to steal the ideas yourself, but don’t @ me in December when you’ve failed to complete any and end up desperately asking ChatGPT about how to blaze…
I, like most people, could spend less time on my phone. I’m already better than I used to be. The first thing I do when setting up a new handset is turn off every notification. All of them. I think they’re a massive distraction, and I genuinely hate the way they tug at your attention like an impatient child. I’ve also ditched my smartwatch for a screen-free smart ring, which feels like a small but meaningful win. And yet. It still doesn’t feel like enough. That’s why my tech resolution for 2026 is simple: explore more single-function devices. The problem…
AI tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, or Meta AI require perfect prompts to deliver results. Even paid subscriptions struggle to produce desired results if your input is vague. However, crafting the perfect prompt for trends like creating Ghibli artwork on ChatGPT, animated videos on Meta AI, and drone shots from a static image on Google Flow can be challenging. That’s where I found MyPrompts.io. It acts as a repository for all your perfect AI prompts, negating the need to type them every time you open a new chat. But there’s more to MyPrompts. Let us get right into it. Log…
Choosing the right set of headphones depends on several factors. You need to consider which features actually matter to you and base your decision on the features versus the cost. Some headphones put a lot of effort into specific technologies and mark up their prices because of it. Others can offer a middle-of-the-road product, but they come in at a significantly more budget-friendly cost. Bone conduction headphones are no exception. These have a different design than traditional headphones or earbuds, as they offer an open-ear design, as they send sound vibrations into your inner ear. So, rather than you needing…
While the seventh day of Christmas is supposed to bring seven swans a-swimming, we’re guessing that for a few of you it’ll bring a new fitness plan. January 1st marks the start of new fitness-oriented resolutions all round the globe. But getting started isn’t always easy, especially if you plan to make it past January 2nd. Thankfully, there’s a slate of apps and techy gadgets to lend a hand. Cheaper than any gym membership, fitness apps make for one of the easiest ways to get sweaty. Using the tool already in your pocket, you’ve access to thousands upon thousands of…
When it comes to picking the best Xbox controllers, there are plenty to choose from, no matter which Xbox console you have. Because the Xbox Series X and Series S use the same standard as the Xbox One, older controllers still work here – but you can also invest in a newer model made with them in mind. There are a plethora of cheaper wired options mixing it up with highly customisable ‘pro’ controllers for those that want the absolute best (or at least one that they can fiddle with extensively). Whether you simply need an extra pad to play…
I counted the number of screens in my house the other day – totally normal behaviour, honest – and was pretty shocked at the result. Does a couple with a two year old really need sixteen different displays? Smartphones, TVs, laptops, tablets, smart displays, gaming handhelds… and that’s not even counting the gadgets I have in my home office for testing. Tech really can take over your life if you let it, even if you don’t write about it on the daily. It’s something I’m going to tackle in 2026. Not wanting my son to grow up glued to screens…
In August of 2025, Apple TV+ raised its subscription price from $9.99/month to $12.99/month (the yearly price of $99.99, which works out to a little over $8/month, remained the same). With so many streaming services out there, it’s understandable if people looked at that and decided to forego their memberships, or maybe never to start one. But Apple TV+ is quietly becoming one of the best streaming services around, slowly replacing HBO as the home of prestige TV. Its growing library of content more than justifies the price. And I’m not just talking about breakout hits like Ted Lasso, Severance,…
A major player in the drone and action camera market Insta360 has grown in popularity quickly. Max Richter, co-founder and VP of marketing has been with the company since its infancy. In this interview he talks about his role, his goals, how the company is pushing boundaries and his day-to-day life in Shenzhen – think drone coffee delivery and working with Elon Musk… Landing a job at DJI was serendipitous I grew up in Stuttgart, Germany. After I graduated, I went to Hong Kong and had my first job there, but the corporate business environment wasn’t fulfilling. At the end…
