With plenty of security cameras to pick from, many (myself included) just want to get the most bang for their buck. With subscriptions confusing things, something that’s cheap and quality is usually the top of the list. And that’s exactly what the latest Blink camera offers. Improving upon my favourite security cam (the Blink 3), the new 4th-gen camera offers even smarter features, while still keeping things affordable. I’d go as far as saying the latest Blink makes it harder to justify splashing out on pricier alternatives. The headline here is on-device Person Detection, which fixes one of my biggest problems with…

You’re on the hunt for a video doorbell – an essential piece of smart home tech that goes hand-in-hand with a smart speaker. You’re set on grabbing one of the best Ring doorbells. They work well with the rest of your Amazon Echo kit. You head on over to Google, do a quick search, and realise that there are way more options available than you expected. Some are wired. Others are wireless. Some have Ethernet. Others work with existing chimes, while their siblings need something extra. Or you could save yourself the hassle. Peruse our quick and easy rundown of…

OpenAI just rolled out a brand-new Image Library for ChatGPT users—an overdue but welcome feature that finally gives you a way to view, manage, and revisit the AI-generated images you’ve created. Where to Find the ChatGPT Image Library You’ll find the Image Library tucked into the left-hand toolbar of the ChatGPT interface, just beneath Explore GPTs. Next to the label, you’ll see a number indicating how many images you’ve generated so far (mine currently sits at a proud 87). Clicking into the library displays all your images in reverse chronological order—from newest to oldest. Clicking on an image opens it…

ChatGPT started the AI chatbot revolution and continues to blaze a trail with the technology. But it would take a big step back if its reported latest idea ever comes to fruition. Do We Need A ChatGPT Social Network? First noted by The Verge, ChatGPT parent company OpenAI is working on a social network very much like X: While the project is still in early stages, we’re told there’s an internal prototype focused on ChatGPT’s image generation that has a social feed. CEO Sam Altman has been privately asking outsiders for feedback about the project, our sources say. It’s unclear…

Using a smart TV without the internet might seem counterintuitive at first. However, with the right apps installed, you can keep yourself entertained, informed, and even—dare I say it—productive. Even without Wi-Fi, you can use your smart TV to watch content using a media player. Most smart TVs have a default media player to play videos and music directly from a USB flash drive or external hard drive. If your TV doesn’t have a built-in player, VLC Media Player is a great alternative. It is a free app that supports virtually every audio and video format you can think of,…

Smartphones that transform into sizeable tablets used to be pure sci-fi… but now bendable screens are our tech reality. Besides the obvious wow factor, these book-style foldables offer innovative flexibility that could change the way you use your mobile – while also packing in hardware to rival the best phones with more traditional form factors. Think folding phones are just a hinged gimmick? Think again. The best foldable phones are about as versatile as handsets get, even if they almost exclusively come at prices that make regular flagships look cheap. We’ve tested them all to work out which is best,…

Like many others, I’ve got a pegboard on the wall behind my desk. Not only does it look cool, but it gives me extra storage space for documents and tech. Nanoleaf’s latest product brings a smart lighting upgrade to the humble pegboard – and I need it. This clever little slab of RGB glory is part lamp, part charger, part pegboard, and entirely the sort of overengineered accessory I suddenly can’t live without. You get a dual-faced setup here: one side’s a luminous pegboard to hang your gear like headphones or handheld consoles (because obviously they deserve to be displayed…

Robot vacuums are busy looking after the inside of your house, so it makes sense for robot lawnmowers to look after the outside. I’ve seen plenty of mowers running around gardens, but Eufy’s debut pair might be the smartest I’ve ever seen. Eufy’s freshly announced E15 and E18 robot lawn mowers look like they’re finally bringing some actual intelligence to the turf. While this mower will map out your garden, it uses plenty of cameras and sensors to navigate more intelligently. Eufy’s E15 and E18 are powered by something they’re calling Vision Full-Self Driving, almost like a Tesla. They’re crammed with more…

I used to waste so much time scrolling through Netflix, overwhelmed by decision fatigue and unsure of what to watch. But after bumping into the Trim Chrome extension, it completely transformed my Netflix experience—and now I’m hooked. What Is Trim? Trim is a free Chrome extension designed to enhance Netflix’s interface with handy extra features for a better experience while watching and even searching for something to watch. One of its primary features is that it overlays IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ratings directly onto the Netflix catalog. It makes finding movies and shows worth watching easier than relying solely on…

When it comes to headphones, I’m quite picky. I want top-notch sound quality, comfort, and features like noise cancellation. But finding the perfect pair of headphones can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. So, after way too many deep dives, comparison charts, and probably more spec sheets than anyone should read voluntarily, I’ve landed on a few standout brands that always show up where it counts. 8 Anker Soundcore Hannah Stryker / MakeUseOf Anker’s Soundcore lineup has earned a spot on my shortlist because, quite frankly, they’ve cracked the code on blending affordability with high-end features. You…
