Streaming has become the norm for consuming entertainment. While you can watch all kinds of shows and movies on your phone and tablet, sitting in front of a TV is still the best way to view what you want. Being able to kick back and relax to enjoy the latest episode of your favorite show is one of the pleasures everyone looks forward to. However, there are features of your TV that can make your viewing experience a lot better. I’m a bit of a cinephile and love to watch movies in dark settings to make it feel like a…
Smart TVs are meant for personal entertainment. You buy it for its crisp 4K resolution, the deep blacks, vibrant HDR, and cinematic sound quality. In short, when you purchase a smart TV, you bring a theater experience home—not as a digital billboard for big companies and businesses to show their product ads right in your living room. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what the default Android TV or Google TV home screens have become. You get autoplaying trailers and a dedicated sponsored section where TV shows and movies (I am not interested in) are slapped on the home screen, eventually taking up…
That really important thing that needs doing? Yeah, that’s not going to happen, because we’ve rounded up the best free browser games in existence – and they’re all free. You don’t need one of the best laptops to run them. But you do need a good browser. Chrome’s the best bet. Otherwise, delve in and enjoy games that are so good you’ll set fire to your Xbox and live life entirely inside a web browser. Oh, all right, they’re not quite that good, but if you can’t waste an insane number of hours playing these fab games, it must be…
The first episode of HBO’s new Game of Thrones prequel show A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has aired on HBO, and the consensus is that it’s warm, funny, and fun. I got to see all six episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms ahead of time, and I agree that it’s a solid show. One thing it has going for it is that it sticks very close to the source material: the Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas by George R. R. Martin. Game of Thrones had a famously controversial ending, and a lot of fans chalk that…
Spotify Lossless finally arrived in September 2025. Though Spotify kept us waiting for lossless audio for eight years, the promise of much higher quality audio on our favorite streaming platform kept us going through the bad times, pressure to switch streaming services, and all of Spotify’s weird decisions. However, even though Spotify Lossless is now available worldwide, it’s unlikely you’re actually hearing anything different. Not because lossless is a gimmick, but because most listening setups physically can’t take advantage of it. If you’re using Bluetooth headphones, wireless speakers, or even certain “premium” wireless headsets, your audio is being compressed again…
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…
