I admit my mistakes when I’m wrong: I’ve been missing the point of active-noise cancellation (ANC). After some trial and error and finally picking up some hardware with ANC worth using, I’m a true believer. How I’ve Been Using ANC Completely Wrong What initially gave me a knee-jerk reaction to ANC was this idea of my thoughts being isolated from background noises. My thoughts are always running, so it just didn’t sound pleasant to be in an environment where I had to hear more of my thoughts. However, I was fortunate enough to get a care package of electronics, and…

Introduction Renault is clearly on a roll at the moment, with the Renault 5 and Renault 4 EVs looking like they’re going to be in big demand. Elsewhere, the French car makers has quite a lot of models that seemingly look quite similar, like the Rafale, the very good Scenic, the low-key Symbioz and less popular Arkana. The latter car looks like its days are numbered, whereas the Austral has been given a whole new lease of life.Some three years later after I first drove one, the facelifted Austral has kept the same name but has plenty to differentiate it…

Thankfully, I discovered a simple DNS trick that unlocks more shows and movies on my smart TV without slowing down my internet connection. How Smart DNS Proxy Unlocks More Content It’s wild how much streaming content is locked away just because of where you live. That’s what pushed me to look for a workaround, and that’s when I found out about Smart DNS Proxy.

As much as I really like Plex and depend on its features for my personal library, I don’t want to share more data than is necessary. It’s not a criticism of Plex, but I’ve changed these privacy settings, and you should too. 6 Go Incognito With Your Profile Privacy Settings I don’t care for the idea of people being able to see what I’m watching on Plex, not out of shame but because of the principles of the matter. I also don’t want my friends’ usernames exposed when someone sees my friends list, either. You can tweak these settings to…

Let’s face it: expensive, high-end smart TVs tend to have the best features. But I’m a frugal spender at heart and always on the lookout for a good deal, and have found a few ways to pick up that ultra-lux smart TV screen without breaking my bank balance. 5 Have You Tried Garage Sales? Where I live, there are garage sales every year, and it always seems like I have junk to sell off. So do other people. I highly recommend taking advantage of these, but if there aren’t local garage sales, there are garage sale apps you can try.…

Almost every streaming company has raised its subscription prices. However, while these price increases make streaming more expensive than ever, these services continue to offer the best value for the money and are worth paying for. Netflix remains the biggest streaming service thanks to its vast library of original movies, TV shows, and documentaries. It also remains one of the most compelling streaming services to subscribe to on the market, thanks to global availability. If you’re looking for a service that offers a constantly refreshed library of content, Netflix is among the top choices. Whether you love binge-watching TV shows…

With a little effort and know-how, you can still pick up a screen that skips all the smart TV functionality but still looks amazing. 5 You Can Still Find Non-Smart TVs Before we explore other alternatives to a classic non-smart TV, it’s still worth giving the hunt for one a proper try. You might get lucky and stumble across one—maybe even brand new, though that’s becoming a unicorn these days. More realistically, you’ll…

You can’t do proper work on an iPad! That’s the refrain we’ve all heard from day one, cheerfully obliterated when people started running businesses, writing books and recording entire albums on an Apple tablet. But even as a long-time iPad fan, I’ll admit there’s been a kernel of truth in the naysaying. Because although there are many amazing iPad apps, the broader interface has long felt like My First PC. That goes back to the iPad’s origin story – a huge iPhone without the phone part. Such simplicity was great for focus and immersion within a single app. The wheels came off…

Are you looking to replace your Mac laptop or desktop? There’s never been a better line-up available! But what if when you do, Apple releases another, better Mac, for less money? That’s always the worry. This article can help. I’ve explored the current state of Apple’s Mac line-up, interpreted the rumours of future models, and for each model offered a shiny ‘Stuff says’ buying recommendation.
