AI is everywhere. And everyone has their line in the sand. They’ll say it’s OK to do ‘this’ thing, yet not ‘that’ thing, with AI. Naturally, what most people consider acceptable tends to be whatever helps them work more efficiently, but not anything that threatens their own livelihood. All of which feels a tad hypocritical – and none of this is leading anywhere good. When I was a youngling, science fiction was full of people loafing about while robots handled the drudge work. But we now live in an age where tech bros, having contributed precious little of cultural value…

Finding the right sound signature for a pair of earbuds isn’t perfect science. Depending on your ear shape, hearing capabilities, and personal preferences, you might prefer the sound of one pair of earbuds over another. If you buy a pair of earbuds off the shelf and neglect to make any customizations to their sound, you’re settling for the sound profile the manufacturer chose — not the one your ears like the best. Luckily, there’s plenty you can do to tweak the sound of your new earbuds to get the results you want. I’ve tested tens of earbuds across all price…

Lego’s minicars are set to break new ground for the drivers’ parade ahead of the British Grand Prix this Sunday – each driver will have their own go-kart- based car to drive about. It’s quite different than the previous iteration of larger Lego cars that debuted in Miami last year where there was a car per team and there were two drivers in each car. Last time out, the drivers quickly seized upon the fact they could drive them like slow bumper cars. And since they were representative of the design of an F1 car there was a lot of…

Apple replaced the traditional ring/silent switch with the Action Button on the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max flagship phones and has featured it on each model since, rolling it out across all new iPhones starting with the iPhone 16 range which also featured the Camera Control button for the first time. But what does the Action Button do – and how can you customize what it does? Instead of flicking a switch to set your phone to silent, you now press and hold the button for a haptic feedback response. This is all done via a bespoke interface that’s part of…

HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon is back for its third season, and by and large, it’s off to a good start. The third season made up for the sluggish pace of Season 2, which opted to end on a series of cliffhangers rather than resolve much of anything, by kicking off with a pair of action-heavy episodes that upended the status quo. It’s good watching, and there’s even better stuff to come. But the show has proven itself unwilling to break with patterns that keep it from being as good as it could be. Meanwhile,…

The new Apple TV 4K 2026 – widely expected to launch as the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K – has been a long time coming. The current Apple TV 4K has, after all, diligently punched in and out since its 2022 release, earning the top spot on our best streaming devices list. Now, the Apple rumour mill is in full spin, which means something shiny and new could be imminent – which is precisely why we’ve rounded up some of the most reliable and likely new Apple TV 4K 2026 fourth-gen rumours below. Busy? The biggest changes are tipped to come…

Getting dressed is a series of small decisions, and which watch you put on your wrist is just as likely to be noticed as the colour of your T-shirt. Get it wrong and it’ll stick out like a sore thumb. Get it right and you’ll feel like a million bucks. But, before we get started, it’s important to remember these ‘rules’ aren’t really rules. They’re more what you’d call ‘guidelines’ (Pirates of the Caribbean anyone?) Here’s what I actually think about before I choose my watch for the day. 1. Match the formality, not just the colour A chronograph with…

There are only so many hours in the day, so why would you want to spend any of them bored? Sure, there is a time and a place for some peace and quiet when you can pick up a good book and relax. But some people would much rather watch the movie or TV series that the book is based on than do that. Whichever way you land on the never-ending “is the book or the movie better” debate, you have plenty of ways that you can find the movie. In this day and age of streaming, some movies and…

All the highlights coming to a small screen near you this year Anya Taylor-Joy in Lucky on Apple TV Cord cutting – swapping a costly satellite or cable subscription and getting all your visual entertainment from cheaper, more convenient streaming services – was once sold to us as a utopian dream. And, for a while, it was just that. But the days of a monthly Netflix subscription costing less than a pint of beer are long gone, and the fragmentation of streaming services over the past decade or so means most of us are now subscribing to at least half…
