I’ve been using wireless headphones ever since smartphone manufacturers collectively decided the headphone jack needed to disappear. So yes, it’s been a few years, and during that time I went through plenty of pairs, from budget earbuds to more premium options. I like the convenience of wireless audio, but when my Galaxy Buds2 recently died, I decided to stop the cycle. Instead of buying yet another expensive pair, I picked up a pair of wired earphones for roughly one-tenth of the price. Sure, part of the reason was the recent “wired headphones are cool again” trend, but trust me, that…

It is frustrating to plug your phone into your car and see the navigation map move in slow motion and your music stutter. It feels like your apps are working against you when you just want to drive. This happens because your smartphone is doing all the heavy lifting behind the scenes, running intensive processes to stream a live video feed to your vehicle’s display. You can tweak a few settings to fix your Android Auto lag; it just takes some time. Related I fixed my Android Auto lag and the cause was embarrassingly simple I spent months blaming my…

On May 20, 2026, Prime Video dropped the series finale of The Boys, its long-running, gleefully violent superhero series. The fifth and final season has been shattering Prime Video viewership records, so plenty of people were tuning in. At the same time, there was a growing online backlash against the season as it went along, with fan review scores on sites like IMDb noticeably lower than in past years. Then the finale, “Blood and Bone,” finally dropped. Would it turn things around and end the show on a high note, or would it vindicate the haters and secure The Boys’…

I’d be lying if I said I was a Claude user from the beginning. For the longest time, ChatGPT was my go-to AI tool for everything, whether it was automating tasks, brainstorming ideas, or simply handling work I didn’t want to spend hours doing myself. So much so that I have also used ChatGPT on CarPlay, and I absolutely love it. But after using the paid versions of both Claude and ChatGPT extensively, I’ve slowly come to one conclusion: ChatGPT’s decline feels very real. And no, I’m not saying that for the sake of it — I tested both tools…

Most of us just want to relax at the end of a long day. Sure, there are plenty of people who like to go out and have an even crazier night after a full day of working. But more often than not, I’d bet that people are looking forward to catching up on some TV and lying in bed or on their couch. Your TV can be a safe space where no one will judge you for what you watch. The trashier the show is, the better it probably feels to get lost in it, especially after an exhausting day.…

When it comes to original programming, Amazon Prime Video has hits and misses, from the tremendously popular series Reacher to the disastrously expensive Citadel. Overall, a lot of the best shows on the service are licensed from elsewhere, including the opulent British period drama Downton Abbey. This ITV show took the world by storm in the 2010s and created a franchise that ended for good only recently. If you have access to Prime Video, you can easily see what the fuss was (and is) about. A genteel British epic My word, really Downton Abbey is set in the Yorkshire county…

Once upon a time, tangled cables were the norm. Now, Bluetooth rules the roost. If you’re after a truly wireless setup, this is the list to check out – from wallet-friendly in-ears to high-end models that go toe-to-toe with the best. Whether your phone’s ditched the headphone jack or you’re just done fighting with knots of wire, there’s something here for every ear and every budget. These earbuds don’t just sound good for their size – many of them rival wired headphones for clarity and punch. Most also come with handy extras like app-based controls and active noise cancellation, so…

Introduction I last sat behind the wheel of the Peugeot 408 way back at the tail-end of 2022. Back then, the cracking design was jungle fresh and felt really good to drive. Slightly less impressive was the plug-in powertrain, which is where this, the new Peugeot E-408 feels just right thanks to its electric arrangement. However, Peugeot is catering for all types of buyers though, because the 408 is also available as a hybrid and there’s still a plug-in too. What’s more, there’s plenty to differentiate these new variants from the old, with exterior design tweaks to the fastback stance…

When I think about Google Stadia, my mind instantly wants to scream “New Coke! But in crummy cloud form.” And sure, it’s true that the Big G’s game streaming platform wasn’t a success. In retrospect, though, it’s not quite the complete laughing stock most folks view it as today, years after it was shuttered in early 2023. Particularly in an era where cloud streaming has now transformed the way I use my Steam Deck. While the business model was overly muddled from a commercial standpoint and downright confusing from a consumer one, Google Stadia was a hopeful product that bet…

Summary Kobo is now the first eReader to natively sync with StoryGraph (June 2026). Link accounts to auto-sync progress, percentages, “Currently Reading” status, finishes, and audiobooks. This removes one of the last major reasons to stick with Kindle’s Goodreads tie-in. I’ve had my Kindle Scribe for over a year now, and it’s been great for helping me keep up with my New Year’s resolution to read more. But a world-first feature from Rakuten Kobo and StoryGraph — the independent, community-driven platform for book lovers — has just announced an update that could completely turn my head. Related I stopped using…
