I thought something was wrong with my Roku Express when I tried booting up YouTube TV and couldn’t find it. Thankfully, there wasn’t a problem with my hardware—YouTube TV disappearing from Roku devices is an ongoing problem. But now there is an actual solution. YouTube TV Disappeared From Your Roku? You’re Not Alone On Reddit, the Roku Forums, and Google, the same story has cropped up: YouTube TV has disappeared from Roku devices entirely (or won’t launch if it’s still there). Roku Community posts have also noted that you can’t reinstall the YouTube TV app, or even find it in…

Want the warmth of analogue audio with modern cordless convenience? The best record players offer exactly that There are plenty of reasons to listen to music using vinyl. Big sleeve artwork is one. Warm analogue sound is another. But while the former just requires your eyes to appreciate, only the best turntables will help you extract that audio loveliness from your record collection. And that’s whether you’re listening through an amplifier and a pair of passive speakers or through a wireless speaker. These record players can fire tracks from your favourite records through Bluetooth speakers – without a wire in…

One streaming service isn’t quite enough for me—I have to have Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. The two streaming services complement one another well—the only problem is figuring out where 4 When I Want to Watch Content With My Kids Cartoons and kids’ shows are a staple in my home, and that goes for my wife and me, too. We love revisiting some of the cartoons and shows we watched growing up, sharing them with our kids, and being surprised that they still hold up today. We bounce back and forth between Netflix and Amazon Prime Video because both have…

OpenAI’s latest voice mode, Monday, is grumpy and sarcastic. Maybe it’s somewhat like we feel with the Monday blues. But is it a clever new feature to make mornings more fun or just a novelty that will wear off? What Is ChatGPT’s Monday Voice Mode? April Fool’s Day (April 1st, 2025) introduced us to a new voice on ChatGPT called Monday. At first, I thought it would have the personality of a motivational guru egging me on to face the day. But Monday is irreverently snarky, sarcastic, and often bored. I asked it for a morning pep talk, and the…

ChatGPT’s memory feature is getting a big upgrade, as long as you’re a subscriber. The popular AI chatbot will now reference past chats to provide more personalized responses. A Smarter Memory With No Reminding Required OpenAI says that the feature can also draw on both preferences and interests to make the AI more useful for a number of tasks. Along with the chatbot, the feature will add context to the voice and image generation features. The new feature is rolling out to both ChatGPT Pro and Plus subscribers. Free ChatGPT users will likely need to keep waiting for the feature…

Quick Links Setting Up Profiles and Libraries (Including Parental Controls and PINs) Set It and Forget It (Mostly) Summary Setting up profiles and libraries is crucial for smooth Plex operation. Organizing media folders helps in categorizing content for easy management. Simplifying setup reduces support requests and ensures a smoother user experience. Plex is a great way to let a household share media across a multitude of devices. However, for the resident tech expert (me), this can quickly turn into a barrage of support requests, which I set up Plex to run smoothly without constant intervention. Setting Up Profiles and Libraries…

Black Mirror is a show about current and future technology, and the potential dark sides of that technology. One episode in its latest season (Season 7) has inspired Netflix to create a mobile game directly referenced in an episode called Plaything. And I can heartily recommend watching the episode AND playing the game. Thronglets Is Not Only Real, But Unsettling If you have already seen the Black Mirror episode titled Plaything, then you’ll know the backstory of Thronglets. Which is that it’s a game that was abandoned halfway through development by Tuckersoft, the same fictional games studio previously seen in…

The biggest shows coming to HBO, Disney+, Netflix and more There’s no shortage of TV networks and streaming services competing for your hard-earned cash. And as a result there are plenty of upcoming TV shows to gorge on over the coming months. Last year us square-eyed TV viewers were treated to some truly great series, from the epic historical drama of Shogun to the retro-futuristic, ultra-violence hijinks of Fallout. Not to mention the soaring heroism of Masters of the Air and Larry David’s last grouchy outing as himself in the final season of long-running comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm. But we’re…

I’ll admit, I’ve been pretty sceptical of the whole slim phone hype we’re going through. Are they impressive? Sure. But I didn’t get the main pull. Who’s out here struggling with the iPhone 16’s 7.8mm frame – or any other top smartphone for that matter? But then Infinix sent me the Hot 50 Pro+. And I think I finally get the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge hype after living with this slim phone. At 6.8mm, it’s not as slim as the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge or Tecno Spark Slim. Both are rumoured to come in at around 5.8mm, which is frankly…

Netflix may be packed with content today, but it’s lost some magic along the way. These five features once made streaming on Netflix savvier, more social, and plain better—and I seriously want them back. 5 Interactive Shows One of Netflix’s most innovative features for watching was interactive shows. Unfortunately, Netflix has delisted all but four interactive shows on the platform, according to Kotaku, and who knows how long the remaining titles will stay up. Unlike typical movies and TV shows with a fixed storyline, interactive shows allow you, the viewer, to make choices that affect the storyline, making it engaging.…
