Picking up one of the best Xbox headsets can truly enhance your gaming. A good gaming headset is unrivalled even compared to a great speaker system. It’s all so much more personal. Being able to hear an enemy coming around a corner in Call of Duty: Warzone could give you an advantage in a split-second battle. Similarly, listening out for something creepy coming your way in Resident Evil 4 or Dead Space is the ideal way to unnerve you substantially but also make you feel more part of the experience. When it comes to wireless headsets, Xbox compatibility with headsets…

Are you thinking of turning the thermostat up? The cooler months are most definitely here and maybe, if you haven’t already, it’s time to finally upgrade to a smart thermostat. But in a crowded field, which is the best smart thermostat out there right now? There are lots of reasons to upgrade your heating tech.

Thanks to tech like geofencing and smart radiator valves, they can help your…

If you’re looking for a new movie or series to binge-watch this weekend, you’re in luck! Prime Video has all the hidden gems to keep you watching all weekend long. This semi-historical horror anthology series is a must-watch, especially with its first season leaving Prime Video in 11 days. The show (first season) is based on a 2007 novel of the same name by Dan Simmons and is set in the mid to late 1840s. The story is centered around the British Royal Navy’s Arctic expedition to find the Northwest Passage. While the sea route is already known to be…

My watchlist goes up and down, depending on the week and month. This week, I have some absolute corkers to get stuck into on Disney+—none of which you’ll want to miss. Amanda Knox’s part in the murder of Meredith Kercher enraptured global news outlets in 2007; it didn’t end when she was (wrongfully) convicted alongside her then boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, in 2009. And even after Knox and Sollecito were acquitted once, retried, convicted again, and then pardoned, the story still didn’t end. That’s what this eight-part true-crime miniseries explores: a dramatized set of events surrounding Knox, Sollecito, her trial, and…

I use AI chatbots a lot. They’re incredible tools once you learn their limits and handle them with a bit of care. But the more I see how people interact with them, the more I realize some folks treat them wrong. And honestly, it’s exhausting. 6 Using AI to Confirm Their Own Biases Many people love using AI as a tool to reinforce their existing opinions. They’ll ask blatantly loaded questions, like, “Explain why [this great idea of mine] is really great” or “Prove that [my way of ideology of mine] is the best for everyone,” and then nod approvingly…

Another weekend, another binge session with Netflix, and this time I’ll be catching up with a lot of animation, some drama, and comedy. If you’re settling down to a weekend of watching too, here is what I recommend. I’ll admit my initial reaction to Wednesday being centered around her in school gave me Monster High vibes. Not to mention being partial to Christina Ricci’s performance as Wednesday in The Addams Family movie. However, this cast list is awesome: Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Steve Buscemi, Gwendoline Christie, and even Christina Ricci plays a role as one of the teachers. Luis Guzmán,…

The covers have officially been pulled off the new Pixel 10 series, and this year Google has plenty to shout about – like being the first big-name Android brand to finally, finally embrace Qi2 magnetic charging. There’s plenty more to get excited about, too. Rear cameras that aim to cement the Pixel among the best smartphones for photography; the brightest screens ever seen on a Pixel phone; and the latest, more expressive version of Material design sitting atop Android 16. With three Pixel 10 handsets to pick from, the big question is which is the one that’s most worth your…

The newly-announced Pixel 10 looks set to be the new sweet spot smartphone for Google fans, striking the best balance of price and features of the line-up. But if you’re not already a convert, the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Apple iPhone 16 are the obvious alternatives. All three phones are compact yet powerful, with capable cameras and streamlined software. They all cost pretty much the same, too. Which makes picking one that little bit harder. While I’ve yet to get my hands on a Pixel, I’ve spent plenty of time with the other two – so by focusing on the…

The default Google TV home screen is packed with endless recommendations, trending shows, and personalized picks. While it may seem great at first, too many choices can slow you down. Fortunately, the built-in Apps Only Mode can fix that instantly. Apps Only Mode on Google TV: What It Is and How It Helps When you turn on your Google TV, you’re greeted with a home screen that feels more like a streaming buffet than a simple dashboard. You see rows of recommendations, trending shows, suggested movies, and personalized picks—all front and center. For some, this variety can be exciting. But…
