I love the drive appeal of the Abarth 600e but it has one huge drawback

Introduction What to do if you like the look of the Abarth 500e but need more space? Well, having just spent time behind the wheel of the larger Abarth 600e Scorpionissima, I’d say it’ll more than do the trick. This is a larger car, but no less fun than the super compact Abarth 500e, packs a 54kWh battery and delivers 280 horsepower, while also boasting all of the cosmetic appeal that comes with anything from the Abarth portfolio. However, despite the fizzy drive appeal, it lets itself down rather badly by possessing a battery that whilst more than adequate for shorter…

This historical drama bothered to get the details right — and it shows in every scene

Drama TV series set within the realm of historical accuracy will always be a bit more enthralling than a completely made-up world. That’s because the anxiety, tension, and fear that are portrayed in the series feel rooted in real life. Audiences can see that this is something that can happen, making it a bit chillier to wrap their heads around. Historical epics have become a popular tool for limited series over the past 10–15 years. Options like The Terror, The Crown, and Boardwalk Empire have taken real events and put an entertaining lens on them while mainly sticking to the…

I replaced Google TV’s home screen with a launcher app, and I can’t imagine going back

I’ve been happily using my Onn Streaming Box for a few months now, and it’s still just as incredibly snappy as it was when I first unboxed it. But in the pursuit of pushing things to their limits, as per normal, I wanted to see if GoogleTV was just as customizable as the Android counterpart. I’ve learned that Google TV is pretty locked down when it comes to that, and if you want to change your launcher or make any major changes, you’ll need to side-load some different apps and programs to get things running. But at that same time,…

ChatGPT didn’t get worse — we just outgrew it

OpenAI first took the world by storm back in 2022 with the debut of ChatGPT, and it has been my go-to AI chatbot for nearly four years now, helping me grind through college, brainstorming ideas, and planning everyday tasks to become more productive. However, recently I’ve been inclined to move to other options, as ChatGPT started feeling redundant to me. More often than not, I found myself disappointed with the answers it gave me. What I eventually realized was that ChatGPT didn’t get worse; I just outgrew it. Related This chatbot makes me wonder why I ever used ChatGPT ChatGPT…

5 Nvidia settings mistakes that might be making your games worse

Whether you’re using the old-school Nvidia Control Panel or Team Green’s more recent app, it’s easy to make settings mistakes, even on a high-end graphics card like the RTX 5070. In an age where games will destroy your 8GB GPU, it’s important to know the correct settings for your level of hardware. With that said, even if you own a decent Team Green GPU, there are always graphical presets you can cut back on without feeling any significant visual downgrades for potentially big performance benefits. As someone who has been gaming on Nvidia GPUs for over 15 years, here are…

5 spectacularly expensive TV shows not worth the money spent on them

It started with Game of Thrones, as many things do. HBO’s epic fantasy show was the most popular TV series of the 2010s, in part because it was created on a scale that few people had seen before. The biggest episodes of Game of Thrones rivaled the biggest Hollywood movies for shock and awe, and that required a record-breaking budget. Or at least it was record-breaking at the time. Since Game of Thrones paved the way, a lot of networks have thrown tons of money at TV shows, with new records being broken all the time. But unlike Game of…

With fuel prices sky-rocketing, I’d like more control over my smart heating

An accusation made about the British is that they never shut up about the weather. And people from elsewhere find that odd, because British weather is mostly very dull – in every sense. Lots of grey skies. A general lack of terrifying tornadoes or the kind of heat that singes your eyebrows. All true. But we do have seasons that splutter into existence, with temperatures and conditions bouncing around before they settle. Which, I’ve discovered, is a problem for smart heating systems – or at least the one I have, which doesn’t offer quite enough control. Most of the UK…
