The Xpeng L03 is a coupe-style SUV that clearly has the Tesla Model Y in its sights. It’s got the looks, it’s got the power and because Xpeng is first and foremost a tech company, there’s a ton of clever stuff to see inside. It was also designed by Xpeng’s global design team, headed by former Ferrari man JuanMa Lopez. Billed by Xpeng as a ‘next-gen AI SUV coupe’, the L03 is a 4.65m long five seater with an impressive 0.28 drag coefficient. It’ll be offered in five nature-inspired colours: Phantom Purple, Arctic White, Midnight Black, Rock Gray and Silver…

I’m a huge fan of road trips. If someone casually mentions they’re planning one, there’s a good chance I’ll be the first to say, “I’m in.” But before I even think about hitting the road, there’s one thing I always make sure is ready: my Android Auto setup. Road trips are already a lot of fun, but they’re even better when everything just works the moment you start the car. So, before setting off on my upcoming trip, I put together what I think is the perfect Android Auto setup for any road adventure. Related 3 Android Auto apps I…

After what felt like an eternity of delays, Apple‘s rebuilt, conversational Siri is now something you can actually put your hands on, provided you’re brave enough to install the public beta of iOS 27, iPadOS 27 or macOS 27 Golden Gate and join the Siri AI waitlist. Once your device has downloaded the new Apple Foundation Models and Siri AI lights up, you’re left staring at a blank conversation with no idea what it’s actually good for. We’ve been putting it through its paces, and there’s a lot more here than a chattier voice assistant. So instead of vague marketing…

I’ve been using my Google TV for more than four years now, and somewhere along the way, it stopped feeling like a new gadget and became just another screen in my living room. It still worked perfectly well, but it had started to feel a little slow. That’s when my habit of poking around every menu and hidden setting paid off. I stumbled across a handful of completely free tweaks that made my TV feel surprisingly fresh again. It genuinely felt like I was using a new device without spending a single rupee. So, if your Google TV has started…

Everyone needs a great watch, but choosing your very first can feel like a monumental decision. There are so many timepieces out there to choose from at every price point and the mere task of narrowing it down can be daunting. But whether you’re after a diver, a traveller’s watch or a classic everyday wearer, you want something versatile. You want something that you can wear everywhere and in any situation; after all, you don’t yet have a collection to rifle through for that perfect pairing. As you’ve yet to pour your life savings into your watches, you probably also…

The Odyssey is the latest movie from Christopher Nolan, the director behind giant hits like The Dark Knight, Inception, and Oppenheimer. The Odyssey is his most ambitious effort yet, and people are going crazy for it. The Odyssey is based on Homer’s 2,700-year-old epic poem about the Greek king Odysseus (Matt Damon) trying to make his way home to Ithaca after fighting in the Trojan War. Between the ancient Greek setting, the mythological monsters, and the sword fights, the movie has all the markings of a sword-and-sandal epic, a movie genre that has risen and fallen in popularity multiple times…

When I plugged in my Roku Express for the first time, it stuttered, buffered, and lagged—but with a few tweaks to its settings, I had it running perfectly. Thankfully, maximizing the performance of your Roku’s rough edges is easy with these simple settings tweaks. My cheap Roku Express streaming stick isn’t a performance powerhouse. Whenever I’m scrolling through content, videos automatically playing are not only annoying, but they also slow down the UI, not to mention slowing down my network.

Streaming video isn’t supposed to be a frustrating process — until it is. For months, I blamed several culprits, including my ISP, my router placement, my video service, and even the weather outside. Additionally, I restarted the router more times than I can count, moved the useful Fire TV Stick around the cabinet, and canceled and re-subscribed to Prime Video to see if it made a difference. None of it did. My Fire TV Stick 4K would play fine for the first 10 minutes of a show, then the dreaded spinning wheel would appear right when things got good, usually…

The Odyssey is the latest film from acclaimed director Christopher Nolan, who has been pumping cinematic classics since the late 1990s. Interest in The Odyssey is sky-high, so viewers out there may be wondering where they can see the rest of Nolan’s catalog. Some of his movies are available to watch on streaming services you probably already subscribe to, and others may require you to fork over some extra cash. Here’s where you can stream each of the 12 movies Nolan has directed, ranked worst to best just for fun. Related These time-travel movies actually try and get the science…

Lossless audio is more accessible than ever, with streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and Amazon Music Unlimited offering access with low-cost monthly subscription services. Reaping the benefits of high-fidelity recordings is still tricky. Play lossless files through lossy means and introduce compression or resampling, and you’d miss out on their added detail. A cheap USB-C digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is all you need to get the best possible audio quality from your smartphone. To be clear, your phone already has a DAC. Depending on your smartphone model, that DAC might already support high-resolution lossless music playback. The issue lies…
