I’m a longtime Android Auto user, and one of the things I enjoy most about it is how much control it gives me. Over time, I’ve tweaked the interface, experimented with different apps, and shaped the experience to fit exactly how I use my car. It has really turned my dashboard into something more useful than just a screen for navigation and music. But as good as Android Auto already is, I couldn’t resist digging a little deeper. I went looking for apps that fly under the radar — tools and services that don’t get talked about nearly enough. What…

Every week, Netflix releases new movies and TV shows to keep you entertained, and every week, several slip through your fingers because you didn’t know they were available. We’ll try to draw your attention to the most exciting new releases so you don’t miss a thing. Hamnet Watch this almost-Best Picture winner Okay, this one isn’t a TV show, but it’s so good that not highlighting it would do you a disservice. Hamnet is a 2025 movie written and directed by Chloé Zhao, and it’s fantastic. It’s the behind-the-scenes story of how William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) wrote his iconic play,…

It isn’t long since I was behind the wheel of the DS N°4, which was recently updated to bring it in line with a refreshed range of cars from this most niche of French brands that also includes the wafty DS N°8. Now the DS No7 has returned, having ditched the smoother-edged looks I was rather fond of in favour of a more angular design. It’s an altogether more aerodynamic and very premium SUV, which is likely to appeal to anyone who doesn’t want a run-of-the-mill motor on their drive. It’s commendable that DS is providing a wide range of…

Apple’s AirPods make for some of the best headphones money can buy, especially if you’re all-in on the Apple ecosystem. But would rumours of AirPods with a camera be a step too far? It sounds absurd, but there appears to be some logic behind the speculation. Over the past few years, Apple has patented earbuds with outward-facing image sensors, with numerous analysts reporting that the company is actively exploring the tech, even going as far as making prototype hardware – though a proper launch date remains completely up in the air. And before you grab the Privacy Pitchforks (no judgement…

In the 2010s, superheroes were so popular that more or less every superhero movie — even if they were about little-known characters like Captain Marvel or the Guardians of the Galaxy — was guaranteed to be a hit at the box office. Fast forward to 2026, and even a premiere movie like Supergirl can’t break even. The age of the superhero movie, it seems, has ended. But we’ll always have the memories. While DC and Marvel movies tend to grab all the headlines, there are quite a few superhero films outside that bubble available to watch on Netflix, including the…

Long-time Razer aficionados will say it looks the same as the old one, but underneath a familiar shell the Viper V4 Pro gaming mouse has been completely overhauled. New optical switches for the buttons and scroll wheel; a new ultra-fast sensor with clever polling tech that basically doubles the battery life; and lower-latency cordless connectivity that’s as close as it gets to playing wired. It takes much of what made last year’s Deathadder V4 Pro one of my favourite ever gaming mice, while bringing back the symmetrical shape that has proved such a hit with pro players. You’ll find more…

Summary Fat CECHA PS3s with hardware PS1/PS2 backwards compatibility are now collector gold as PS3 stores close. Some Frankenstein PS3s mix Fat shells with Slim guts; check the serial/model for 40NM to confirm. Back up games, keep discs and consoles cool/dry; digital-only future risks losing purchases and classics. The PlayStation 3 changed the game when it dropped in 2006. It brought us Blu-ray, a beefy Cell processor, and built-in Wi-Fi. For gaming fans and preservationists, it was especially momentous; the earliest PS3 models—especially the iconic “Fat” CECHA launch units—offered true hardware-level backwards compatibility with both PS1 and PS2 games, meaning…

I’ve owned various headphones and earbuds over the years with hi-res LDAC codec support. The only problem is that Windows 11 doesn’t support LDAC, which means I invariably connect to my phone, which does, but then it becomes a problem playing audio from my PC. I know, I know, it’s not the worst problem, but it is frustrating. There is a solution to this problem: The Alternative A2DP Driver. It’s a paid tool, but it brings much needed codec support to Windows 11, adding drivers that Microsoft, for some reason, believe we don’t really need. Related My expensive earbuds sounded…
