These days, smart home goodies are rapidly filling up people’s houses, but apartments have been somewhat left behind. That all changed with the Ring Intercom that lets you speak to visitors and buzz them in, which I scored a full five stars in my review. I said “Impressively reliable, Ring’s latest goodie brings the smart home experience to apartments solving a major bug bear.” Now, the second-gen adds a huge new feature fans were begging for. The new Ring Intercom Video lets you see and chat with whoever’s ringing your flat from your phone before letting them in. It pairs…
Apple released the spanking new iPhone 17 series over a month ago now. Where does the time go? Typically, when new smartphones come out, reviewers will test one, maybe two of the models. But I’ve been doing something a little different. Since the devices came out, I’ve been using all of them: the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air. Now, I’ve made sure I’ve spent at least a week using each one as my main device. But I’ve also taken two phones out with me to see which lasts longer, used one for photos while the…

What I really love about science fiction is how it can play with the idea of perception. If perception is reality, what happens when you can’t trust your own perception? This very question has been explored by more genres than just sci-fi, but I find that it works best for me in a universe where technology is as unknowable as the mind. There are quite a few sci-fi shows that deal with this concept, and a lot of them have handled it brilliantly. Look at how popular a series like Severance has become, which is arguably one of the most…

Last year, Hollywood finally got around to adapting Wicked, which has been delighting fans of musical theater on stage for over two decades. Director Jon Chu took the surprising step of splitting the show in two; the first Wicked movie covered the first act, and Wicked: For Good will bring the story home when it drops in theaters later this month. That’s a risky move, because the second act doesn’t stand up to the first. It’s not that bad—it’s not like one of these beloved TV shows that ends in a way everyone hates—but fans widely agree the second half…
We now know that large language models can act as personalized tutors, delivering natural, context-rich conversations and instant feedback. One way I am trying this out is by learning a language like Spanish. Textbooks can be dull, and I am not a huge fan of Duolingo. My Kindle became a platform for language learning. Now, I am trying a more structured approach, side by side, using ChatGPT prompts. You too can start talking to ChatGPT in the right way. Start by setting your level (for example, [Beginner]) and providing context. Then, transform vague chats into focused study sessions. Learn common…
