After spending countless hours using my laptop and desktop speakers set up in college, I discovered that a few smart upgrades can transform your cramped dorm space into the ultimate streaming hub—without breaking the bank. 5 A 32-34 Inch Monitor The heart of a good dorm streaming setup starts with the right monitor size. I’ve found that a 32 to 34-inch display hits that sweet spot between being large enough for group viewing and compact enough for dorm life. Unlike smaller screens that leave you squinting during late-night Netflix marathons, these larger monitors provide enough real estate for comfortable viewing,…
You can bet your last dollar that subscription fees on popular streaming platforms will keep rising. That’s why YouTube is a great place for free and legal movies, with many channels offering classics. This list of a few choice free films, in no particular order, is a breadcrumb to real gems. Some of these films are age-restricted and will require you to sign into your YouTube account for age verification. Let’s start with some scares. Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 masterpiece remains one of cinema’s greatest creations. This psychological thriller follows Marion Crane’s fateful stop at the Bates Motel, where she meets…
With the rollout of iOS 26, Apple Music received one of my most anticipated new features: AutoMix. While not as advanced as Spotify’s AI DJ, it’s a great addition to Apple Music—and I actually like it much more than Spotify’s version. Apple Is Finally Rolling Out AutoMix Starting with iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and other Apple devices, Apple Music will offer a new feature called AutoMix. As its name suggests, it combines two songs into one, much like a DJ does. The transitions between songs, which are performed through artificial intelligence (AI), utilize time stretching and beat matching for seamless…
Software updates can make the best smartphones even better with new features and improvements. But these features never seem to be about what your smartphone was invented for – making calls. Except for this one feature in iOS 26, Apple’s latest free software update for the iPhone. In iOS 26, if you miss a phone call, you can swipe on it from the Phone app to quickly and easily set a reminder to call the person back. This has to be one of my favourite features, as I get a lot of (mostly spam) phone calls, and it’s not always…

When the sun’s out and the garden turns into a battleground, nothing beats the thrill of unleashing the best water gun on your unsuspecting opponents. Whether you’re arming yourself for a chaotic family showdown, keeping the kids entertained, or planning a sneaky ambush on your mates, the right blaster can make all the difference. But “best” means different things to different people – you might want raw power, pinpoint accuracy, a huge water tank, or something light enough for younger hands. These days, water guns come in all shapes and sizes, from classic pump-action shooters to battery-powered beasts that can…

AI isn’t just for techies anymore—it’s now as essential to studying as a notebook or highlighter. OpenAI and Google know this, and both promise smarter learning. But not every “study mode” is created equal, as I found out firsthand. The Study Mode Rush If you haven’t realized it yet, AI is now a staple part of studying—sometimes for good, sometimes for shortcuts, but either way, it’s here to stay. Everyone uses AI for studying, and yes, plenty use it for cheating through their assignments, too. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t done both. But the point is, the…
