With ChatGPT, we scramble to hoard “perfect prompts”: sophisticated formulas that promise to unlock the AI’s best answers. I’ve tried my share, from presentation simulations to productivity hacks, but I always ended up back where I started, wondering if I was overcomplicating things. Then I stumbled on a fascinating study by researchers at The Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania). The paper tested whether language models like ChatGPT respond to the same persuasion principles that influence people. They found that the difference isn’t just what you ask — it’s how you ask. Not unlike human conversations. The AI “Call me a…
The all new, all-electric Nissan Micra, which is a very cute little thing, brings back memories of the first generation example I got given once. It was a free gift from a mate heading overseas, and was a bit of a wreck. Unlike the one that replaced it, which wasn’t. Both were great, though, for their simplicity and practical appeal. The new Micra is much the same, but there’s a bit of a back story.If you didn’t already know, the latest Micra incarnation is basically a cosmetically different version of the already hugely popular Renault 5. However, I don’t think…
I love a good thriller, especially ones that linger long after the credits roll. These are the films that kept me awake, replaying every twist and turn, making me question reality and trust. The thrillers I’ve chosen maintain their tension, pulling you deeper into each scene. If you enjoy watching movies that last with you, these five emotionally powerful films could be a good fit for you.

I like to rewatch cartoons from the ’90s for nostalgia and to see if I will appreciate them more with my adult mind. Many times I am disappointed with the latter part, but there have been a few times I was surprised. Some shows even had me wondering how they got away with what they packaged as kid-friendly. These cartoons had either subtle humor, deep scenes, or satire that went over my tiny brain. I find myself recommending them to people now, even if they don’t have kids to watch them with. But in the end, these kids’ cartoons left…
Apple’s iOS 26 software for the iPhone has now been released. But hang on a second, weren’t the latest Apple smartphones just on iOS 18? What happened to iOS 19 through to 25? A few months ago, Apple announced that it’s tweaking its iPhone software naming system going forwards.

I’m completely fascinated by nature documentaries, especially the further away the environment is from where I live. I just love learning about nature, flora and fauna (many of which are strange and bizarre), climates, and the mechanisms of evolution. What I would really love is to subscribe to every streaming service with nature documentaries, but I’m not made of money. However, I found a solution to the problem — a platform that’s legal to use and offers a fountain of documentaries in 4K. And it just so happens to be an app that pretty much every person you know uses,…
Your Mac is waggling an upgrade to macOS Tahoe in front of your face. Should you click Upgrade? Maybe. But should you click the magic button before taking a backup of all your precious data? Absolutely not. Upgrades can go horribly wrong, turning your Mac into the digital equivalent of a shiny brick. Or maybe your Mac will restart but stare blankly back when you enquire as to the whereabouts of your data. So don’t let that happen. Do one or more of these things instead. 1. Just say no No one is forcing you to upgrade your Mac. Tim Cook probably won’t rock up…
