If you’ve been checking out Apple gear recently, you might have seen the term ProMotion floating about with regard to displays. ProMotion is one feature that makes them even better than they once were. The feature makes animations and everyday movements on one of the best phones on sale right now much smoother. But what exactly is it? Here’s our guide to explaining exactly what Apple’s ProMotion is, and what it does for your devices. What exactly is Apple’s ProMotion? ProMotion is Apple’s dolled-up marketing term for a 120Hz refresh rate on the display. For years, 60Hz was the go-to…
So much choice, so little time. So to help you out here’s our list of the top Now TV shows and series to watch today It might lack the overall cachet of Netflix and Amazon Prime, but Now is a streaming service worth shouting about. Not only does Now feature a best-in-class Movies package, it also offers a separate, nicely affordable “Entertainment Pass”. This pass grants you access to hundreds of TV shows and documentaries. Some are available in BBC iPlayer-style catch-up form (based on Sky’s broadcast channels) and box-sets featuring individual seasons or entire runs of a single show. There’s a lot…
I’m a child of the ’80s, an era of home micros, dodgy cassette tapes and cracking toys. For years, my bedroom floor was a minefield of Star Wars figures and ships – and then He-Man characters that looked like they’d got way too friendly with anabolic steroids. Then one day in a local toy shop, I stumbled across something new: Transformers. Robots that turned into cars and jets? Pure catnip to pre-teen me. Alas, my pocket money didn’t transform into a bigger pile of coins, and so I started with Mini-Autobot Gears, whose entire transformation amounted to flipping a truck upright and unfolding limbs. Still, it felt like magic. And…
K-dramas? I wrote them off as nothing but melodramatic fluff—too cheesy, too dramatic, way too much slow-motion romance. Then these shows proved me completely wrong. 7 Squid Game (2021–2025) Stream Squid Game on Netflix You’d have to be living under a rock to miss this one. When it dropped, it became one of Netflix’s most-watched series ever, with over a billion hours of viewing time in just its first month. And it wasn’t just hype. Squid Game is nothing like the cheesy romance I used to associate with K-dramas. The plot is simple: hundreds of people drowning in debt are…
I know I’m biased, but I grew up with some of the best cartoons of all time. Not all of them hold up to today’s standards—but I can definitely think of a few that still have the magic sauce and are absolutely worth watching. 5 Avatar: The Last Airbender Watch Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix and Paramount+ Avatar: The Last Airbender takes place in a world where people are born capable of controlling the elements, such as fire, earth, water, and air. However, the Avatar can control all four, while others can only control one, and they must use…
There’s never a bad time to start streaming a slow-burning thriller; there are many to choose from, including new series and older ones. Here are some great ones. 7 Untamed (2025-present) Stream Untamed on Netflix In many respects, Netflix’s Untamed is a typical murder mystery, characterized by a clear beginning and ending. And yet, with the majestic Yosemite National Park as its backdrop, it’s more than that, since the park’s iconic granite monolith, El Capitan, plays a central role throughout. The series, which stars Eric Bana as a special agent for the National Parks Service, is highly character-driven with an…
Sometimes the stress levels of just existing can be enough to send me into a complete burnout spiral. Luckily, I have a nice rotation of shows to keep coming back to, like a warm blanket on a chilly fall day. 6 Lost Stream Lost on Netflix or Hulu You might not immediately think of Lost as a show that can bring any sort of comfort, what with its complex mysteries and heavy human drama. But for me, Lost is a series that I have binge-watched more than perhaps any other drama out there. I love the messy characters trying their…
Adam Sandler is not one of my favorite actors, and the original Happy Gilmore has never been one of my favorite films. And yet, the newly released Netflix sequel, Happy Gilmore 2, worked for me. There are spoilers regarding the Happy Gilmore 2 plot below. Another Sequel? Arriving 29 years after the original film, Happy Gilmore 2 once again features Sandler as a hockey player who became a successful golfer. However, this is not the same Happy Gilmore that we last saw at the end of the original. This one is an out-of-shape alcoholic and decidedly ex-golfer who continues to…

The best cordless lawnmowers have become a go-to choice for anyone who wants the freedom of a petrol mower without the fumes, noise, or constant pull-cord drama. All of the cordless mowers in this guide run on rechargeable batteries, so you can wheel them out, hit the button, and get straight to work without worrying about extension leads trailing across the garden. And while the best robot lawn mower will happily trim your lawn without you lifting a finger, not everyone’s ready to hand over full control to…
Wireless charging has been a regular sight on smartphone spec sheets for years. Most gadgets offering wireless charging use the Qi standard, which was updated back in 2023 to include support for magnetic chargers. Now known as Qi2, it effectively brings Apple’s MagSafe charging to the wider world – or least it will once other companies start supporting it. It took several years from the standard being signed off to the tech appearing in Android phones you could actually buy. But now they’re finally here, here’s everything you need to know about how it works, and why you’re definitely going…
