Portable power stations are great for camping trips and keeping your fridge alive during a power cut, but Bluetti’s latest battery has rather loftier ambitions. The new Pioneer 5000 E-Generator is designed to replace the noisy, fuel-burning generators used on building sites, at events, and in other professional settings. Unveiled at IFA 2026, it delivers 5kW of continuous AC power from a 5.12kWh LFP battery. The really impressive number, though, is its 18kW surge output, which it can sustain for 0.1 seconds. Well, it’s impressive if you’re familiar with the nitty-gritty world of electricity. If not, fear not. Here’s some…
If you are on YouTube’s free tier, you’re probably familiar with ads. They can pop up anywhere and can totally spoil your viewing experience. Now, you do have some clever tricks to block ads on YouTube, but that doesn’t stop those multi-minute-long sponsor slots that eat into your viewing time. Now, these sponsored slots are vital to most creators, but let’s face it: most of the time, they’re a pain to endure, which is exactly why I’ve started using SponsorBlock.

Smart home specialist Reolink has fully cut the cord for its latest home security camera. The new OMVI 2i Ultra is both battery- and solar-powered, making installation a cinch pretty much anywhere – not just places you can run power to. That’ll be great news for anyone that doesn’t own their home, as they won’t need to modify any electricity cables. The OMVI 2i Ultra is packing a detachable 10,000mAh battery that can provide as much as six months’ use from a single charge, which Reolink reckons is double that of a typical bullet-PT camera. The 6W solar panel boosts…
One of the world’s biggest tech shows, IFA 2026 has brought seemingly every kind of gadget imaginable to Berlin for a few very busy days – and this year’s show hasn’t disappointed. We’ve been scouring the show floor and digging through the biggest launches, getting our hands on as much new tech as possible, and separating the properly interesting stuff from the things you’ll have forgotten about by next week. There are new TVs, laptops, smart home gadgets, robot vacuums, speakers, and plenty of things that are rather harder to categorise. So with all that said, these are the gadgets…
I found Devs the way I find most things worth watching now: by accident, scrolling Hulu at 11 at night, looking for something to put on while I did the dishes — looking for another Hulu diamond in the rough. The thumbnail showed a gold Buddha statue standing in a redwood forest next to a glass office building, and that combination alone was strange enough to stop me. Devs came out in 2020, and if you missed it, you had company. It aired on FX and landed on Hulu the same week, which FX was still experimenting with in 2020,…
We’ve already put every single car in Tesla’s line-up under the microscope, from the entry-level Model 3 Standard right up to the range-topping Model X and Cybertruck. But two models keep coming up in conversation more than any other: the Model 3 and the Model Y. Between them, these two account for the vast majority of Tesla’s global sales, and if you’re cross-shopping the brand, chances are you’re choosing between these two rather than looking at the S or X. On paper, they’re closely related. Both sit on the same underlying platform, both use the same infotainment tech, and both…
Another weekend is upon us, which means another chance to curl up on the couch and watch Netflix. As always, the streaming service is obliging with lots of new content, whether it’s a Netflix original or a licensed movie series or TV show. The Sex Lives of College Girls All three seasons of his HBO comedy are now available to stream Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Reneé Rapp, and Alyah Chanelle Scott play four different college freshmen who are thrown together at the fictional Essex College in Vermont. They grapple with their newfound freedom, figure out dating, and deal with academic…
Following on from its long-awaited reveal of the $500/£420 Dyson CameraJet electric toothbrush a couple of days ago, Dyson has now launched a raft of other new products. These include three new robot vacuums to follow up on last year’s Spot+Scrub AI. The key thing is that there are two new wet and dry models as well as a vac-only model and they are available at various price points instead of all being over $1000. Dyson’s new flagship is the R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub UV (the name is a nod to the neural intelligence used). This betters last year’s model by…
There might not be a new console on the horizon soon, and price hikes for those already out, but Gamescom 2026 was still the destination for getting hands on with the latest gear for enhancing your current gaming setup, whether you’re gaming on PC, console, mobile, or into new ways to revisit the past. Here then are my highlights of gaming hardware from Gamescom 2026, some which are already available to buy now or coming very soon, just in time to get the Christmas stocking filled. Evercade Nexus $199/£170, on sale October 30 I might’ve lied about there being no…
Summary Netflix has added six Resident Evil movies, including three CG-animated films that are officially canon to the games. Damnation, Vendetta, and Death Island fill gaps between the main game installments rather than retelling their stories. The three live-action additions — Extinction, Afterlife, and Retribution — belong to a separate continuity and are not game canon. Netflix has added three Resident Evil movies to its U.S. catalog. They do something the franchise’s live-action adaptations don’t, and that’s sticking to the games’ canon story. Resident Evil: Damnation, Resident Evil: Vendetta, and Resident Evil: Death Island are now available to stream. They…
