Technology should be simple. It is rarely easy and that isn’t a surprise. But when you hand the controls over to the technology, you’d assume it would make the smartest decisions, right? I could be talking about using a chatbot or LLM to answer questions. Sometimes they get it right and sometimes they get it wrong. I could also be talking about needing to connect multiple hubs just to connect one smart home device to another. There are easier ways around this, but certain devices make it more difficult than others. But what I’m really referring to is ensuring your…
Summary Claude’s US market share more than doubled in March and has tripled since January. ChatGPT still dominates (~68% US share, according to Statcounter) but lost about 7% in March as rivals gained ground. Many users switched to Claude after controversy around OpenAI’s government deal. Early in March 2026, we saw something remarkable happen in the AI landscape. Following the announcement of OpenAI’s deal with the US government, Anthropic’s Claude chatbot saw a huge surge in both press and app downloads. Users called for abandoning ChatGPT in favor of Claude. Now, with March market share numbers available (via Statcounter), it’s…
I use Spotify almost every day, whether I’m commuting somewhere, working on an article, or just jamming out to my favorite new songs. One of my favorite things to do on Spotify is find new songs to share with friends. That used to be a lot more difficult, before the company added Prompted Playlists, a new tool that helps you find music based on what you tell AI you’re in the mood for. And now, it looks like Spotify is upgrading this great feature with even more capabilities by letting you search for new podcasts, too. Related You’re using Spotify…
Netflix doesn’t lack for great detective series, from modern classics like Mindhunter to terrific licensed shows like Dark Winds. The genre has always been popular among users, and a new detective series debuted in late March only to become the most-watched Netflix show worldwide, for a time: Detective Hole, a Norwegian show based on the series of crime novels by Jo Nesbø. In fact, the full title of the show is Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole; the author himself wrote all of the episodes, so you can be sure that it sticks close to the hugely successful novels, which have sold…
For years, I treated goals like promissory notes to my future self. I wrote them down, got excited, and then quietly let them slip away a week later. My future self doesn’t lack ambition. It’s my present self that lacks the execution. Goals depend on motivation, and you can’t hack it always. As productivity gurus advise, systems work better than vague goals. So, I am experimenting with a few. Specifically, simple lifestyle systems built around ChatGPT that nudge me into action, remove decision-making friction, and find my blind spots. Hopefully, it will help you design your own structure that works…
The latest TVs have features beyond the usual high-res 4K picture quality, AI picture enhancement, smart TV platforms, and improved built-in speakers. They boast upgrades to afford seamless navigation, help extend the life of the TV, and make them look (and sound) better. If you’re buying a new TV in 2026 from one of the best TV brands, there are some features that are nice-to-haves, like 144Hz variable refresh rate for gamers, smart home integration for those who need it, and AI features for both improving the picture and sound and affording a convenient chatbot right from your TV. Then…
I’ve always leaned towards Android Auto over CarPlay because it tends to offer many features that Apple still hasn’t quite caught up with. Over time, that’s made me more curious about what else is hiding beneath the surface. So, I started exploring. Digging through settings, trying out different apps, tweaking things just to see what sticks. It’s become a habit at this point, and more often than not, it actually pays off. This time was no different, either. While going down one of those rabbit holes, I stumbled upon a feature that changed the way my infotainment screen looks. I’m…
When it comes to making movies, source material can come from anywhere. Books are a perennial favorite; Project Hail Mary, one of the most successful movies of 2026 so far, is based on a novel by Andy Weir. Increasingly, Hollywood is turning to video games for inspiration, with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie being the other most successful movie of 2026 so far. And in May, a new movie called Backrooms looks like it’s going to be the sleeper hit of the spring, and it’s based on digital folklore that originated in 2019. From copypasta to potential blockbuster The origin…
If you subscribe to Netflix and are looking for a great historical fiction show to watch, you have lots of options. For instance, The Last Kingdom dramatizes the Danish invasions of England during the 9th and 10th centuries, and Bridgerton gives us romance and intrigue in a reimagined version of Britain’s Regency era. But one show has both of those series beat: Black Sails, which originally aired on Starz before coming to Netflix. Set far from England, Black Sails takes place mainly in the pirate port of Nassau on the island of New Providence in the Bahamas. We’re in the…
Netflix is one of the well-known and used streaming services in the entertainment industry. It has released some of the biggest TV series and movies that have captured the zeitgeist over the past 10–15 years. Shows like Stranger Things, Bridgerton, and Squid Game have swept up the world in hysteria. It has become a widely recognized distributor of films as well, boasting award-winning pictures for years. Anyone who has had a Netflix subscription has dealt with changes to the interface, a wider availability for the platform, and pricing hikes. This comes with the territory, as shows and movies are expensive…
