Best budget tablets in 2026 for outstanding value

Tablets have become go-to gadgets for a lot of people, sitting neatly between a phone and a laptop. The good news? You don’t need to splash out on a flagship model to get something worthwhile. Today’s budget tablets pack in sharp screens, solid performance, and plenty of features for far less money. Whether you’re after a device for streaming, gaming on the go, reading, or light work, there’s a wallet-friendly option out there. It wasn’t always like this. Early budget tablets often felt like a compromise – slow processors, flimsy builds, and a bare-bones app selection. But things have moved…

Every new Tudor watch in 2026 ranked and reviewed – the winners, losers, and big surprises

Tudor launched six new watches at Watches and Wonders 2026, and having spent time with all, here’s my verdict of them all. It’s a safe, sensible and commercial collection from Tudor – and that’s no bad bad thing. Tudor has made meaningful upgrades fans have been asking for, and there isn’t a weak watch in the lineup. The biggest surprise was the absence of the long-rumoured Big Block Chrono, though word on the ground suggests it could arrive at a separate event later in the year. Here’s every new Tudor, reviewed and ranked. Black Bay 58 This is my favourite Tudor launch of 2026.…

There are 3 great superhero shows on TV right now, but one takes the top spot

Ever since Iron Man stormed into cinemas in 2008, superheroes have had a non-stop presence on the big and small screens. But rarely have we been in a situation like this, where there are three terrific superhero shows all running at the same time that all offer something different. Those shows are Daredevil: Born Again, currently running its second season on Disney+; Invincible, currently running its fourth season on Prime Video; and The Boys, currently running its fifth and final season, also on Prime Video. Which of these series you like best comes down to taste, but having all three…

The best comedy on Netflix isn’t a Netflix original — and it’s leaving soon

Netflix remains the best streaming service out there because of the sheer amount of content on offer, from dramas to comedies to great shows you’ve never heard of until they suddenly blow up out of nowhere. But not all of that content stays on the service forever. A lot of the best stuff on Netflix isn’t actually made in house, which means it’s subject to licensing agreements, which means it may come and go from the service over time. One of the funniest series on Netflix is about to leave, and it deserves the spotlight before it goes. Documentary Now!…

Your Linux PC can handle HDMI 2.1 — the law is what’s holding it back

Nothing is broken. And somehow, that makes it worse. Your system boots like a champ, apps open instantly, and your GPU hums along like a caffeinated penguin with a purpose. Then you plug into a modern TV or high-end monitor, and it stops short. Not dramatically, or in a way you can screenshot and complain about. Just enough to make you feel like your setup is being held back. That invisible ceiling isn’t a bug. It’s not even Linux being Linux. It’s a locked door with a legal sign on it. Related I finally learned why my TV needs HDMI…

I tried an abliterated local LLM and it feels nothing like the others

Local LLMs are great for privacy; they run locally and require no subscription. That is, until you realize they suffer the same problems their cloud counterparts do: extremely restricted safety guardrails. Safety measures online are one thing, but if you’re running your AI model locally, bypassing them should be easy, right? Turns out, it actually is. If you’ve ever gone down the local LLM rabbit hole, you must have come across abliterated models. Local LLMs have already made cloud versions obsolete for certain tasks, and once you run them without restrictions, you’ll never look at regular models the same way.…
