So much choice, so little time. So to help you out here’s our list of the top Now TV shows and series to watch today It might lack the overall cachet of Netflix and Amazon Prime, but Now is a streaming service worth shouting about. Not only does Now feature a best-in-class Movies package, it also offers a separate, nicely affordable “Entertainment Pass”. This pass grants you access to hundreds of TV shows and documentaries. Some are available in BBC iPlayer-style catch-up form (based on Sky’s broadcast channels) and box-sets featuring individual seasons or entire runs of a single show. There’s a lot…
CarPlay links your iPhone – even mid-range phone models– to your car’s infotainment display. It puts access to familiar apps and features right on your dashboard, partly replacing your car’s built-in system – which, let’s face it, probably isn’t as slick. But at Apple’s WWDC 2022 software showcase, the brand unexpectedly stole the show with a major CarPlay refresh. The next generation of CarPlay is headed to all your in-car screens, not just the main infotainment panel. That means Apple-styled speedometers, dials, and widgets. The tech giant first pegged 2024 for compatible cars to be on the road. Now in…
Like punching in a secret cheat code in a video game, some smart TVs have a hidden code that opens a unique service menu. There, you’ll find special developer tools, the number of hours used, and even special diagnostic and calibration tools you don’t normally have access to. If the ability to access diagnostic tools didn’t tip you off, the service menu houses information and options that are, more or less, for technicians only. It’ll let you calibrate the screen, run tests to find problems with hardware, tweak audio and picture sections (though slightly different from the run-of-the-mill menu), and…
OpenAI just launched GPT-4.1, a powerful new AI model for ChatGPT that handles longer conversations and improves coding tasks. This update makes the AI smarter and faster, but the news is slightly different for those on the paid tier and free users. What’s New in GPT-4.1 First, the good news of the upgrade is that it’s a significant leap from the older ChatGPT models. GPT-4.1 can process up to 1 million tokens in one conversation. That’s a big step up from the previous limit of 128,000 tokens. This lets it understand and remember much longer chats or documents without losing…

AirPods are comfortably the best-selling true wireless earbuds in the world and the excellent AirPods Pro 2 and newer AirPods 4 hammer home that advantage. But, given the various price points, deciding are the best AirPods for you is a difficult task – especially when there are so many rivals we consider among the best wireless earbuds on sale. In addition to the super-expensive AirPods Max, Apple actually has four pairs of wireless buds – the AirPods Pro (2nd gen), AirPods (3rd gen), AirPods 4 (with and without ANC) and AirPods (2nd gen) and that’s before you get to its…

Shoving AI into everything (wanted or not) is one of the biggest tech trends this year. All the latest smartphones have some form of AI features… just like most other devices. I’m not the biggest fan of this – especially when there’s not an obvious use case. While showing off Android 16, Google announced a bunch of new Gemini AI features. The best of these is the fact that Google Gemini is coming to devices with Google TV later this year. Not only am I excited for this feature, but I actually think it’ll finally make remotes with microphones useful.…

The standout new feature is a hydro-powered blanket that can heat and cool your entire body, not just the underside. It links up with the cover at the foot of the bed using a web of thin water tubes,…
