There’s no such thing as perfect headphones. As a budding audiophile, I firmly believe every audio fanatic should own multiple pairs of headphones and earbuds that excel in unique situations. I have wireless earbuds for daily use, workout earbuds, wired IEMs, wireless over-ears with ANC, and wired over-ear studio monitors, just to name a few of the audio categories I’ve sunk my money into. Out of all the headphones I’ve tried over the years, one model stands out — the Sennheiser HD 600. The superb aspect of investing in wired audio gear is that it can essentially last forever. An…
We aren’t very deep into 2026, but we’re already getting excited about all the new TV coming down the pike. Around here, our tastes usually run towards fantasy and sci-fi, but we can expand our horizons. There’s also a lot of great drama and comedy shows on the way. In particular, a new dark comedy coming to Netflix has caught my eye, and it should have yours too. Get ready to make some Big Mistakes The creator of Schitt’s Creek gets together another dysfunctional family As outlined by Netflix itself, Big Mistakes is about a pair of “deeply incapable siblings”…
We tend to treat AI tools as competitors. It doesn’t have to be an either-or question like: should I use NotebookLM or ChatGPT? Instead of choosing, we can start pairing them and extract the best of both their worlds. After a few weeks of hands-on use, I realized these two tools can be two connected laboratories for my knowledge management system. NotebookLM helps you think with your sources. ChatGPT helps you think beyond them. Used together, they form a surprisingly potent workflow for reading, research, and writing. Instead of one teammate, you can have two with strengths cancelling out their…
It took me a while to try Jellyfin, but I absolutely love it. However, hunting down subtitles is tedious and easily breaks immersion. Unfortunately, I find myself going down this path more often than I’d like to admit, fixing broken download links and subtitles that have drifted out of sync. In fact, for some less popular releases, entire languages may be missing. Jellyfin’s built-in subtitle support alone is inadequate to fix this, especially for non-streaming content. My ultimate solution is a combination of Bazarr and Jellyfin Bazarr plugin. The plugin makes the process feel native, while Bazarr actually handles searching,…
Looking for the best mesh Wi-Fi system? Want to speed up your internet? Tired of your smart speaker not working? You’re in the right place. Mesh networks are smart home devices designed to eliminate Wi-Fi black spots by placing a network of range-extending nodes around the home, giving your signal a more even spread and greater stability. If your router is already reaching parts other broadband routers can’t, you’re fine as you are, no real need to read on, see ya. Some providers like BT and Virgin offer their own mesh network add-ons with select packages that work specifically with…

If you spotted a Lego Smart Brick on a table, you wouldn’t think anything of it. Well, apart from, “Who left a Lego brick on this table?” And perhaps, “At least it wasn’t on the floor, because treading on Lego hurts more than falling into a ball pit where the balls have inexplicably been replaced by furious chainsaw-wielding hedgehogs”. That’s because it looks like a standard black 2×4 Lego brick with a transparent 2×4 plate on top. However, shock twist – unless you’ve already read about it – the brick is actually a tiny computer. And a synth. Both of these things are important, and the…
Most people never think of a Fire TV device as anything more than a simple streaming tool. But that’s not the full story. Fire TV is far more flexible, and with the right apps and settings, it can become a smart display, a wireless screen mirror, a gaming console, and even a mini computer for light browsing. The best part is, all of these features are built in, so you don’t need any complex workarounds or extra devices. Once you find them, you’ll start seeing your Fire TV in a completely different way. Install apps that aren’t on Amazon Appstore…
It’s easy to assume that all HDMI cables are the same. You plug them into your TV and connected device, and the picture you expect pops up. But while all HDMI cables provide basic functionality, old cables don’t bring the modern features that let modern devices look their best. Updated HDMI cables don’t cost much more than old ones, so if you’ve been using old ones for a while, it’s a worthwhile upgrade to swap them out. Understanding the latest HDMI generations New cables mean better features While HDMI still uses the same physical connection type from its launch decades…
Running outside is fraught with potential pitfalls and inconveniences: it rains, it gets dark early, and traffic rarely keeps an eye out for ambling joggers. It’s much easier to slide from sofa to treadmill, and that’s why we’re pontificating over the best treadmills available. Picking the right one for you will be based on a few key criteria – the first and arguably the most important is budget, as it’s possible to spend the best part of a new home deposit on the fanciest treadmills out there. At the other end of the spectrum, the cheapest offerings typically aren’t worth…
