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…

YouTube added “thumbs up” and “thumbs down” buttons on videos starting in 2010. Over the next decade, these “like” and “dislike” buttons became staples of the platform, but YouTube started to mess with them in 2021, when they removed the ability to see how many dislikes a given video had gotten. At the time, YouTube explained that it was doing this to protect creators from “dislike attacks,” where people would actively work to drive up the number of dislikes on a video for reasons that had little to do with its quality. Those kinds of attacks do happen, but many…

Still buying and binning plastic bottles every day? It adds up fast, and it’s not doing the planet any favours. If you’re ready to cut back on single-use plastic, switching to one of the best reusable water bottles is a genuinely easy place to start. Of course, true zero-waste living means hiking into the hills and drinking straight from a spring. Fresh, free and about as sustainable as it gets – though not exactly practical before a 9am meeting. For the rest of us, the simplest fix is swapping disposable bottles for a decent reusable bottle you can refill at…

If you’re an Apple fan after one of the best smart home cameras or video doorbells, I have some (potentially) good news for you. Numerous reports and online whispers have suggested that Apple is developing its own smart home camera as part of a much broader push into connected home devices – like the long-rumoured HomePod Mini 2 and even more mysterious Home Hub. Of course, Apple hasn’t confirmed that any such products exist, and many details remain uncertain –the main image above is the rear camera setup of an iPhone 16e, for example. But that’s all part of the…

In modern households, TVs are shared, and no living room setup is the same. Spaces, TV locations, viewing angles, preferences, and schedules vary, so there’s really no one-size-fits-all approach.

I used to think I’d never join “nothing gets between me and my morning coffee” brigade, but getting older and becoming a dad quickly changed my mind. Now even roasting summer heatwave temperatures haven’t been enough to stop me reaching for a morning cup – or rather they haven’t with the KitchenAid KF4 on brewing duties. KitchenAid’s newest fully automatic bean-to-cup coffee machine isn’t just a brilliantly simple way to make hot coffee. It also offers iced options for staying cool when the mercury rises. After living with one for a few weeks, I’ve fallen for its one-and-done approach, even…
