The Boys stuck the landing — the problem was everything leading up to it

On May 20, 2026, Prime Video dropped the series finale of The Boys, its long-running, gleefully violent superhero series. The fifth and final season has been shattering Prime Video viewership records, so plenty of people were tuning in. At the same time, there was a growing online backlash against the season as it went along, with fan review scores on sites like IMDb noticeably lower than in past years. Then the finale, “Blood and Bone,” finally dropped. Would it turn things around and end the show on a high note, or would it vindicate the haters and secure The Boys’…

ChatGPT’s decline is real — I tested it against Claude on 3 routine tasks and lost every time

I’d be lying if I said I was a Claude user from the beginning. For the longest time, ChatGPT was my go-to AI tool for everything, whether it was automating tasks, brainstorming ideas, or simply handling work I didn’t want to spend hours doing myself. So much so that I have also used ChatGPT on CarPlay, and I absolutely love it. But after using the paid versions of both Claude and ChatGPT extensively, I’ve slowly come to one conclusion: ChatGPT’s decline feels very real. And no, I’m not saying that for the sake of it — I tested both tools…

Your smart TV is tracking everything you watch — here’s why and how to stop it

Most of us just want to relax at the end of a long day. Sure, there are plenty of people who like to go out and have an even crazier night after a full day of working. But more often than not, I’d bet that people are looking forward to catching up on some TV and lying in bed or on their couch. Your TV can be a safe space where no one will judge you for what you watch. The trashier the show is, the better it probably feels to get lost in it, especially after an exhausting day.…

The best period drama on Amazon Prime isn’t an Amazon show — ITV made all six seasons of it

When it comes to original programming, Amazon Prime Video has hits and misses, from the tremendously popular series Reacher to the disastrously expensive Citadel. Overall, a lot of the best shows on the service are licensed from elsewhere, including the opulent British period drama Downton Abbey. This ITV show took the world by storm in the 2010s and created a franchise that ended for good only recently. If you have access to Prime Video, you can easily see what the fuss was (and is) about. A genteel British epic My word, really Downton Abbey is set in the Yorkshire county…

I thought the electric Peugeot E-408 was a real step forward from the plug-in. Here’s why

Introduction I last sat behind the wheel of the Peugeot 408 way back at the tail-end of 2022. Back then, the cracking design was jungle fresh and felt really good to drive. Slightly less impressive was the plug-in powertrain, which is where this, the new Peugeot E-408 feels just right thanks to its electric arrangement. However, Peugeot is catering for all types of buyers though, because the 408 is also available as a hybrid and there’s still a plug-in too. What’s more, there’s plenty to differentiate these new variants from the old, with exterior design tweaks to the fastback stance…

Everyone laughed at this failed Google product, but it was right all along

When I think about Google Stadia, my mind instantly wants to scream “New Coke! But in crummy cloud form.” And sure, it’s true that the Big G’s game streaming platform wasn’t a success. In retrospect, though, it’s not quite the complete laughing stock most folks view it as today, years after it was shuttered in early 2023. Particularly in an era where cloud streaming has now transformed the way I use my Steam Deck. While the business model was overly muddled from a commercial standpoint and downright confusing from a consumer one, Google Stadia was a hopeful product that bet…

Kobo just beat Kindle at the one thing that actually matters to book lovers

Summary Kobo is now the first eReader to natively sync with StoryGraph (June 2026). Link accounts to auto-sync progress, percentages, “Currently Reading” status, finishes, and audiobooks. This removes one of the last major reasons to stick with Kindle’s Goodreads tie-in. I’ve had my Kindle Scribe for over a year now, and it’s been great for helping me keep up with my New Year’s resolution to read more. But a world-first feature from Rakuten Kobo and StoryGraph — the independent, community-driven platform for book lovers — has just announced an update that could completely turn my head. Related I stopped using…

Your TV has one HDMI port that’s actually built for your PS5 — here’s how to find it

Unless you own an aging or budget TV, there’s a good chance your set has three or four HDMI ports. Yet not all connections are created equal. While many high-end TV ports function identically, mid-range models may sport HDMI slots that won’t necessarily squeeze the most out of modern consoles, like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. Even though I stopped using my PS5 after discovering these Steam Big Picture features (at least for a while), I do still value my console. As such, it’s important to me that I’m getting the most out of my PS5 Pro. If…

7 signature shows from other networks you can watch on Netflix

Netflix is far and away the biggest paid streaming service on Earth, which means they have enough money to produce tons of great original movies and TV shows, both ones that have become hugely popular and others you’ve never heard of. But that’s not how they got here. Netflix once hosted tons of big-name licensed content from other studios, and shows like The Office and Friends helped make it the juggernaut it is today. After the streaming wars started, the networks behind a lot of those shows made their own streaming services and took back their content; nowadays, The Office…
