Outside, spring is busting out all over. The birds are singing and the grass growing, so now is the perfect time to lock yourself inside and take in a chilly Nordic murder mystery about a serial killer who leaves creepy calling cards at the sight of their crimes. The first season of The Chestnut Man, which dropped on Netflix back in 2021, deserves to be watched no matter the weather, both because it’s just that good, and because there’s a new season about to drop. The Chestnut Man is a well-made serial killer thriller You’ve never look at a chestnut…
I’ve got a 3D printer, a Switch OLED, and a lot of filament. My son has the Switch 2, as well. I’m always on the lookout for great free 3D prints, typically on Makerworld (I’m a Bambulab P1S and A1 mini user), that can make my life easier and more fun. I’m also a big fan of printing functional things that keep me from having to buy them in stores. I found a veritable treasure trove of cool, functional 3D prints on Makerworld, each designed to improve my own Switch setup (and that of my son’s). Here are six of…
Tech friction is never much fun, but it’s especially irksome when it gets between you and your runner’s high. Exercise experts Wahoo and Coros have decided to do something about it: the pair have teamed up to make workout tracking between its GPS sports watches and treadmills seamless. From today, anyone with a Coros watch will be able to connect directly to a Kickr Run treadmill (which Wahoo would rather you call an “outdoor run simulator”), with live data shared between the two over a bespoke Bluetooth protocol. That means accurate heart rate data courtesy of the watch, plus realtime…
It’s wild to think that 2015 was already over a decade ago, but it is. While time marches on, one of the greatest pieces of remote technology was released for roughly $49.99 in 2015 and is now half the price on marketplaces. The original Steam Link, meant to work as a way to play your favorite PC games over remote streaming, is still an utterly fantastic piece of tech, especially for the price you can find it for now. But you may not have known that, outside of just playing your favorite games at 1080P/60Hz, it also makes an absolutely…
We’ve all made phone-based errors, some worse than others. That could range from dropping it down the toilet, to opening a conversation with a significant other at 2.30am on a Saturday morning. When it comes to WhatsApp, you can definitely make a few social errors, but you can also make some tech-based ones. We’re here to help with the latter. Whether you leave people on ‘read’ or forget an old phone number is still linked to your WhatsApp account, here are six mistakes everybody makes with WhatsApp. Turn off read If you haven’t already turned off your read receipts on…
I have been getting pretty deep into local LLMs lately, and it has been a great experience overall. I even went so far as trying to run models directly on my phone for a while, which works, but it is not exactly ideal. The better setup, and the one I keep coming back to, is having a dedicated machine purely for inference. One box that stays on, handles all the heavy lifting, and every other device in the house just connects to it. It is the best thing I have built for my home setup yet. Related I’ll never pay…
For months, Claude and ChatGPT have been locked in a stalemate — which LLM was the quickest, the most powerful, the best? Up until now, many users felt that Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.7 had a slight edge in its larger context window, flexible writing styles, and superior data visualization, as well as some other key benefits. Well, that may be about to change. This week, OpenAI officially released GPT-5.5, internally code-named “Spud”. But this new model isn’t as potato-like as its nickname would imply. According to OpenAI’s official launch data, this model is a fundamental redesign aimed at “agentic” performance…
Looking for the best Kindle? We don’t blame you. Amazon’s Kindle devices are the most popular e-readers around for a reason with a great selection of titles to boot. Over the years, they’ve become incredibly good at replicating the experience of reading a book on their digital screens without the eye strain caused by more conventional tablets. And with the benefit of the electronic format being that you can access an entire library on a single, highly portable gadget. They also make reading cheaper and ebooks are more environmentally friendly than that pile of paperbacks you’ve been nursing, so e-readers…
Recently, I came to a realisation – the iPhone Air just isn’t enough for me and my sample is back in its box. That’s not to say it’s bad, because as I said in my review last year, there is much to love. It’s got a great design, it’s super light. It’s strong. It has Pro-level hardware. The display is bigger than all current iPhones aside from the Pro Max line. But there are some critical downsides aside from the not insignificant $999/$999 price point that puts it at a massive premium over the standard iPhone 17, which offers a…
The first thing you’ll notice when turning on a smart TV is flashy banners, rows of content and those annoying auto-playing previews. It’s chaotic and often more about pushing ads on your TV than helping you actually watch something. And the reason this feels normal is that almost every smart TV on the market is like that. Projectivy Launcher is an app that changes that. It strips away all the noise and gives you a clean and customizable home screen that is a joy to interact with. It’s the kind of experience that should be default, but somehow isn’t. Related…
