It’s 5am. You kill the iPhone alarm. It’s time to gag down some slimy, raw eggs, scream into the void, and drag yourself outside for a run. Please. I’m begging you. Stop. Because despite what certain fitness influencers might suggest, exercise doesn’t have to painfully take over your entire life. Honest. Fitness gadgets can’t do the hard work for you either, but the right equipment can make that work easier to fit around everything else. And that’s where this feature comes in. None of the products below will magically transform your body without any effort on your part (believe me,…
Some people think the point of a sci-fi novel is to be adapted into a TV show or movie, and there are many such novels that have made the jump from page to screen, like the excellent 3 Body Problem on Netflix. But sometimes, the best thing for a great sci-fi book is to leave it on the page. Such is the case with this modern classic. Get into the Teixcalaan series Hard to pronounce, wonderful to read Credit: Tor Books The Teixcalaan series is made up of two books: A Memory Called Empire, published in 2019; and A Desolation Called…
If there’s one thing I love, it’s travel. Whether I’m off on a weekend trip, a full-blown summer holiday, or attending a launch event, going to new places is amazing. But (and I’m sure I’m not alone here), the travel side of things is far from ideal. Whoever said it’s all about the journey, not the destination, clearly never visited Miami International during Spring Break. So, I tried turning to the top travel tech to solve my woes. I’ve already got noise-cancelling headphones, tablets, travel backpacks, and other gadgets to keep me entertained. What I was looking for was stuff…
Picture the future of air travel: you’re on a plane that hums rather than roars, takes off without the faintest whiff of jet fuel, and lands, leaving nothing behind but a trail of water vapour. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? Almost too lovely for an industry we more often associate with lost baggage and endless security queues. But will hydrogen and electric planes really play a leading role in the future of air travel, or are they just another pipe dream set to gather dust alongside the jetpack and the flying car? Here’s what we know so far. The hydrogen dream…

You’ve spent a small fortune on a phone smart enough to recognise your face in the dark, a watch that tracks everything from Pilates to padel, and a smart speaker that controls your lights and plays whatever music you fancy, even if that sometimes means Whitney Houston when you say ‘white noise’. And yet there you are, lying awake at 1am, tossing and turning, telling yourself you really need to get to sleep (which, naturally, makes it even harder). Don’t worry, though — there’s good news. Your existing tech is already packed with sleep-fixing hacks you might never have thought…
I can’t recall how many times I’ve opened YouTube to research or study and ended up falling into the algorithm trap that sucks up at least half an hour of my work time. I really need to break this habit — a couple of videos are fine, but YouTube completely immerses you in its never-ending feed. Now, uninstalling YouTube or completely removing it from my life isn’t the solution. Instead, I made a few changes to take back control of my feed, so it reflects my interests rather than becoming a randomized content sinkhole. Related YouTube is blocking non-paying users…
Smart TV OSs are a window into streaming services and other apps. If you rely on the smart TV OS built into your display instead of a streaming box or player, you want it to be intuitive, afford access to all the apps and streamers you want, and run efficiently. The major smart TV OSs include Tizen (Samsung), webOS (LG), Google TV (various brands), Roku (Roku and various brands), and Fire TV (Amazon and various brands). Other less popular ones include Vizio’s SmartCast and Hisense’s VIDAA. Which one is the best smart TV operating system? Roku OS is often cited…
Game of Thrones, a phenomenally successful fantasy show and the biggest hit in the history of HBO, ended in 2019, and Hollywood has been trying to replace it ever since. HBO itself has had the most success in this regard; the Game of Thrones prequel shows House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms have both been big hits. However, House of the Dragon was looking precarious there for a minute, but HBO bought itself time to right the ship with the recently concluded third season. The scandals of House of the Dragon Author vs showrunner, book-readers…
