One of this year’s hottest upcoming phone series is set to debut next month. Yes, it’s time for the iPhone 17, which is set to appear alongside the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. It’s also heavily rumored that there will be a super-thin iPhone 17 Air as well. Like the Galaxy S25 Edge, that will likely have a smaller battery but sleek finish. You can read more about the iPhone 17 rumors in our dedicated piece – but when will it actually be out? Everything mentioned below is based on my experience of Apple’s previous iPhone launches, though I…

While shows like Ted Lasso and Severance get most of the buzz, that’s just scratching the surface. Don’t get me wrong, they’re amazing shows, but Apple TV+ has a catalog full of hidden gems waiting to be discovered. 6 The Afterparty (2022-23) Watch The Afterparty on Apple TV+ Solving a murder is the central theme of each of the two seasons of the comedy, The Afterparty. In the first, a pop star is murdered after his high school reunion. In the second, it’s a groom who faces an untimely demise immediately following his wedding. Both seasons star Tiffany Haddish as…

Watching Netflix on your smartphone is convenient since you can even do it offline while on the go. Still, I avoid it for a few good reasons, and once you see them, you might too. 5 It Destroys Your Battery Streaming Netflix on your phone may seem harmless, but it’s one of the fastest ways to drain your battery. It may not be as bad as gaming, but over time, this wear adds up. Video playback is one of the most power-hungry tasks your phone can handle. It’s no surprise that the battery life for streaming video is always shorter…

Companies love throwing around “benchmarks” and “token counts” to claim superiority, but none of that matters to the end user. So, I have my own way of testing them: a single prompt. The Simple Riddle That Once Broke Every Model There’s no shortage of LLMs in the market right now. Everyone’s promising the smartest, fastest, most “human” model, but for everyday use, none of that matters if the answers don’t hold up. I don’t care if a model is trained on a gazillion zettabytes or has a context window the size of an ocean—I care if it can handle a…

Although I love adding more of my physical media to my Plex server, sometimes I just want to kick back and watch television. With over a thousand live TV channels on Plex, only a handful come out on top. 10 At the Movies While I hesitate to call myself a film buff, I do watch a ton of movies, paying close attention to older ones released between the 70s and 90s. I consider those decades to be some of the best years for film. As luck would have it, Plex has At the Movies, a TV channel that broadcasts movies…

Google’s AI Mode finally reached the UK this week, and I hate it. Open Google in a browser and the ‘AI Mode’ button shimmers, begging to be clicked. And every results page has AI Mode lurking, menacingly, as the first tab. Before Videos. Before Images. Even before ‘All’, which is exactly how Google wants it. One day, Google will flick a switch. Every query will default to AI Mode. Other tabs will be secondary, then vanish entirely. “But hang on,” you might say. “So what? Isn’t it easier to get instant answers than scroll through pages of links? Isn’t that… progress?” Not…

Cutting cable was, without a doubt, the best decision I ever made, but I do miss it at times. Luckily, Plex has live TV channels for free. If you’re trying to mix up your library’s content, check out these unique channels. 10 FilmRise: Unsolved Mysteries Unsolved Mysteries was particularly good when Robert Stack was the host (though I am partial to Dennis Farina, too), but I’ll get to Robert shortly. The show’s premise of real-life cases being open-ended gave us viewers an opportunity to be detectives. Can you solve the mystery of the missing husband or child? Do you see…

Some very good TV shows run for only a season, either by design or because they were canceled due to low viewership. However, some of these might have been even better with a second. Of the one-season wonders that have aired in recent years, these are my absolute favorites. 7 The Queen’s Gambit (2020) Watch The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix This award-winning Netflix series starred Anya Taylor-Joy in the title role. It told the story of an orphaned chess prodigy named Beth Harmon in the 1950s and 1960s who went on to dominate a male-dominated chess world. Through seven episodes,…

Netflix is packed with old shows that you’ve glossed over. Sure, they were first aired elsewhere, but that’s besides the point: these are the best old shows you can find on Netflix right now. 6 Gilmore Girls (2000-2007) Watch Gilmore Girls on Netflix Relationships are at the center of this long-running comedy-drama series, which aired for seven seasons, comprising 153 episodes, on The WB, later becoming The CW. It starred Laura Graham and Alexis Bedel as a mother-daughter duo whose relationship was more like a best friendship than a traditional parent-child dynamic. In 2016, the main cast from the series…
