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,…
Summary Kaleido 4 makes color e-readers crisp: sharper text, brighter colors, whiter whites. 15% higher white reflectance, 50% contrast boost, and color up to a crisp 300 PPI. Makes color e-readers practical; low-power, greener panels could spread to ads, watches, tablets. Kaleido 4 is a brand-new screen technology revealed by E Ink, and it finally fixes the biggest problem with color e-readers: blurry, washed-out text. E Ink’s new color e-paper tech promises sharp text and bright colors, so you don’t have to pick between easy reading and a splash of color anymore. Related This is the better Kindle alternative that…
DLSS 5 has made quite a stir recently, which is surprising since it hasn’t even been “officially” released yet. Now, I have been doing my fair share of testing with the leaked version of the DLSS 5 code, and so far, I’ve had mixed results. Some titles benefit from the improved lighting engine, while others fall completely flat, looking straight out of an AI filter, to put it lightly. With the recent remaster release of The Witcher 3, I just had to test DLSS 5 on it. While I wasn’t expecting much, DLSS 5 did wonders for this decade-old title,…
I’ve always been a massive nerd when it comes to coding. In fact, nine-year-old me somehow decided that sitting down and learning Python was a better use of my free time than doing literally anything a normal nine-year-old would do. While other kids were busy playing games, I was busy figuring out how to write my own (admittedly terrible) programs. My fascination with coding never really went away. If anything, the rise of AI coding assistants has only made it worse. Sure, these tools do mean I now spend less time actually writing code myself, and memorizing syntax is something…
For a good part of my life, Steam has been the only PC game launcher that I’ve known and used. While I did try out other launchers, including Ubisoft Connect and, yes, the Epic Games Store, none of them kept me coming back like Steam. Well, that was until I found out about Playnite. It’s essentially a free PC game launcher that offers the same level of customization as Steam (if not more) and is significantly lighter than any other PC launcher I’ve ever used, not to mention that it also supports emulators. In fact, after a month of using…
Apps on your telly? What larks! But you’ll still be using this selection when the novelty wears off I vividly recall during the reveal of one Apple TV update, former Apple CEO Tim Cook bullishly claiming that the “future of television is apps”. Which is fine – but that was the present of television at the time, if you owned a smart TV or rival streaming device. Then it kind of fell apart. Today, there aren’t that many amazing Apple TV apps, but there’s still junk to fish through on the Apple TV App Store. Boo. But there are exceptions…
AI tools have become a big part of our everyday lives, and it’s easy to see why. Almost every other day, there’s a new feature that makes something we do a little easier. While ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can do many of the same things, I’ve realized using them isn’t quite the same experience. Each has its own strengths, and some excel at certain tasks more than others. That got me wondering: if I had to pay for just one AI tool, which one would be worth it? So instead of relying on free versions or comparing features, I paid…
Nothing’s worse than buying a brand-new 4K TV and being forced to watch 1080p content on it. While going through my Netflix back catalog, I noticed something peculiar: despite my Premium subscription, Netflix wasn’t streaming in 4K. And this issue wasn’t isolated to just my TV, but also extended to my phone and PS5. This was quite a surprise, considering I was paying extra exclusively for better visuals on my devices. Furthermore, this issue doesn’t seem to happen with other streaming services that I use, such as Prime Video and Disney+. Digging through the internet, I figured out that the…
There was a real buzz about the 2026 Paris Motor Show but it also felt like an event that came across as a festival of retro design and celebration of heritage from the European car brands. Chinese manufacturers, on the other hand, were all clearly focused on the future, especially Xpeng. The relatively youthful tech company that just happens to build electric cars was keen to show off its new Xpeng L03 coupe SUV, but not content with a static display on their booth, they also had a couple of cars in the parking lot ready to take on the…
