Over the years, HBO has produced an embarrassment of classic TV series, including The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Game of Thrones, Succession, and more. Although it’s hard to tell which shows will go down in history while you’re watching them, it’s likely that several of the network’s current series will join those ranks sooner or later, with shows like The Pitt, The White Lotus, and The Last of Us well on their way to achieving modern classic status. But HBO also runs a lot of shows that don’t get nearly as much buzz despite being more than worthy of…
Cord-cutters, rejoice! There’s never been a better time to cancel your cable TV contract and replace it with one of the best streaming services, thereby getting your entertainment fix supplied as and when you want it. TV shows, documentaries and movies, on-demand and available on almost any device you could imagine. Dancing to the capricious tune of the major networks’ scheduling fiddle is no longer necessary. Now you’re in charge. That being said, the range of streaming choices on offer can be quite daunting. If you sign up for them all, you’ll likely end up spending more than you did…
For several years now, there has been an open question surrounding Apple – will this be the year Tim Cook retires? How will that impact on the future of the company? Cook turned 65 last year and it turns out we didn’t have to wait too long to find out what happens next. As has been rumored for months, John Ternus will succeed him as CEO, 15 years after Cook himself succeeded the late Steve Jobs just weeks before his death in 2011. Ternus takes up the post on 1 September, meaning we’ll probably see him first at Apple’s September…
Given the success of its hairdryers – most recently the Supersonic r and the do-it-all Airwrap Co-anda2x , it was only a matter of time until Dyson announced a travel hairdryer. The day is here – the Dyson Supersonic Travel is now available. Costing $250/£250, I was lucky enough to get up close with the new dryer last month; here is my honest review. On first glance, you could be forgiven for mistaking the new Dyson Supersonic Travel hair dryer for the original Dyson Supersonic. Hold the two together though and it’s apparent that the Supersonic Travel is much smaller – 32% smaller…
A new pair of Soundcore headphones are a very fine thing: you know what you’re going to get, but even then, it brings a sort of warmish, nostalgic familiarity when everything works as it should. The Soundcore Space 2 is the latest and greatest from one of the biggest names in budget headphones, following up on the monumentally successful Soundcore Space One launched in 2023 with improvements in several key areas: improved ANC, longer battery life, wonderfully comfortable ear cushions, and extensive audio customization through the Soundcore App. Accordingly, the price of the Soundcore Space 2 has risen — it’s…
Some people connect headphones to a single device, like your smartphone while you commute or your laptop for video calls from the home office. But sometimes, you want to go back and forth between the two devices, which might require unpairing from one and pairing to the other. But what happens if you’re watching a video on your laptop, listening through your headphones, but a call comes through on your phone? You want to be able to answer it seamlessly using the same headphones. Isn’t it annoying if you can’t? Bluetooth multi-point connectivity is the simple headphone feature that solves…
Netflix famously makes a lot of movies and TV shows, more than any one person could ever hope to watch. That means that sometimes a show that you’ve never heard of could bubble to the top of the worldwide ratings, as happened recently with the detective series Detective Hole. It’s happening again with Bloodhounds, a South Korean crime drama that dropped its second season on April 3. The show has been riding high on the charts for weeks, and if you haven’t seen it yet, you could be on the precipice of your next big binge. What is Bloodhounds about?…
If you asked me to choose between Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, I wouldn’t have an instant answer. CarPlay pulls me in with its clean, intuitive interface. It feels familiar and effortless the second it connects, and it also has a few tricks that make it worth using. But the moment I start thinking beyond just how it looks, Android Auto begins to make a stronger case for itself. It brings a level of functionality that goes deeper, the kind you actually notice when you’re driving regularly and relying on it. That’s really where the dilemma kicks in. I enjoy…
I can’t believe how much game streaming has improved over the past few years. Once, I was a colossal skeptic when it came to cloud gaming. I’d been burnt by Google Stadia, then got duped into buying a PlayStation Portal to stream PS5 games on Sony’s handheld, only to be met with hideous video artifacting and lag. If only I’d discovered this Nvidia app that has completely transformed my Steam Deck and $3,000 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 a little sooner. The client/platform I’m talking about is the RTX 5080 tier of Nvidia GeForce Now Ultimate. The top subscription model on…
