I wish I owned the car this espresso machine was based on

When it comes to the latest coffee making tech, most hardware is focused on espresso. You’ve got plenty of options that’ll make you a tasty brew. But what about one that looks good while doing it? This limited edition espresso machine from Porsche and La Marzocco makes me wish I owned the car its design was based on. And the coffee? It’s bound to be top-notch. This bit of kit is a limited-edition version of the Linea Micra espresso machine. The brands are only making 911 (of course) of these espresso machines – so they’re extremely limited. Naturally, they’re not just…

What is a Microsoft Copilot+ PC and how do they differ from older PC laptops?

When Microsoft started putting its AI chatbot onto Windows 11 laptops at the beginning of 2024, there was one detail that suggested a big change was coming. Copilot had a dedicated button on the keyboard of new PCs designed to work with it. This was the first time a new key had been added since Windows 95 introduced the Windows key that pops up the Start menu. Now, Microsoft has announced the next step on the journey that began with that single key, the Copilot+ PC. The software now defines the hardware, instead of the other way around. So what…

I’m converted: cheap and cheerful plug-and-play is a great way to revisit classic retro games

The first video game I remember playing was a gigantic coin-op. It was a monolith of a thing, with its glowing screen and terrifying invader painted on the side. Or at least, that’s how it appeared to me, knee-high to a grasshopper at the time. Regardless, it cultivated a love of gaming, which I took home from the holiday. Alas, the arcade cabinet stayed put. Fortunately, my parents soon bought an Atari 400. A crude console, not only by today’s standards but even compared to those machines that swiftly followed. But those old Ataris had an immediacy about them. Plug and play.…

NewsWritten by Falyn WoodEditor, Time Out MiamiFriday October 18 2024ShareCopy LinkFacebookTwitterPinterestEmailWhatsAppWe didn’t need a whole study to tell us this, but people really seem to like living in Florida. As someone born and raised here (and who moved and came back twice), I can comfortably say it’s a pretty great place to call home.

The personal finance company compiles a list of the best states to live in each year, taking into consideration factors such as…

Remedy headlined an Xbox games showcase that wasn’t afraid to get spooky and weird

Earlier this week saw the release of three new Xbox Series X/S console options as Microsoft sets out its stall for the holiday season. Not quite as new and shiny as a PlayStation 5 Pro though. You might think the same of yesterday’s Xbox Partner Preview, a showcase focused on third-party releases rather than anything from its first-party studios. Nevertheless, there was already a good reason to tune in based on a few previously announced titles confirmed to make an appearance, which turned out to also include new game reveals as well as several shadow drops, with Remedy bookending proceedings.…

My top Fire TV Stick pick is being replaced by something better

Ever the popular smart device, Amazon’s Fire TV Stick gives you instant access to an arsenal of shows and films. The Fire TV Stick Lite was my top pick, giving you the most value for your money. But there’s something even better that’s just been released – the Fire TV Stick HD. This device replaces the regular Fire TV Stick and Lite version, while bridging the gap between features. Better still, it’s still pretty affordable at $35/£40. Design-wise, it’s the same sleek black stick you’ll jam into the HDMI port on your telly. Amazon’s still sticking with a micro USB…
