It’s easy to think AI is just for funny cat pictures or summarising a report you can’t be bothered to read. But there are several ways it’s making a real difference. Take researchers at Queen Mary University of London, for example, who have used AI to assess your pecs and predict how long you have left or whether you’re at risk of heart failure. Turns out skipping chest day might cost you more than your gym selfie. In the study, which was funded by the British Heart Foundation and published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, AI…

This year, iFLYTEK is showcasing the AINOTE 2, billed as the world’s thinnest E-Ink tablet. The device stands out not just for its slim design, measuring only 4.5 mm thick, but also for…
If you’re looking for a hidden gem on Apple TV you might have missed, there’s a really unique one you probably passed by and didn’t think twice about. I watched Calls when it first came out in 2021 and was initially weirded out, then intrigued. Before I knew it, I was completely caught up in the plot. It’s unlike anything you have ever seen precisely because there isn’t much to see. It’s a show you watch, but it requires a lot of imagination and listening. If it sounds bizarre, that’s because it is. All you see on screen in Calls…
The Big Bang Theory had loads of characters that could have carried their own spinoff. Although Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman) probably wouldn’t have been at the top of anyone’s list, he became the unlikely star of the HBO Max series Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. And the show’s popularity has already earned it a season two renewal. Stuart leading his own sitcom might seem like a strange choice. Especially since the character spent most of The Big Bang Theory on the sidelines running the Comic Center of Pasadena and having very little luck with life in general. Unlike Sheldon…
It was once known primarily as a wallet-friendly Xiaomi smartphone sub-brand, but Poco’s 2025 gamble to get in on the flagship game seems to have paid off: after two Ultra-badged heroes in the space of twelve months while it finessed the formula, the firm has found its groove with the F9 Ultra. This year’s effort builds on everything that made the Poco F8 Ultra such a strong alternative to top-tier handsets costing north of four figures, with an even bigger battery, higher pixel count camera, and an even more impactful 2.1 speaker system that has pretty much every other smartphone…
When you’ve been brushing your teeth for the best part of four decades, you aren’t really expecting to learn how to do it again. But with Dyson’s newly announced $500/£420 CameraJet electric toothbrush, that’s exactly what I’ve found myself doing. I’ve been using the camera-toting toothbrush for almost a week now, and the habit changes I’ve noticed in that time are somehow more surprising than its price tag. The idea behind Dyson’s new launch is that it combines toothbrushing and flossing into one device, replacing the need for a separate flosser by firing tiny jets of mouthwash in between your…
“I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.” “Here’s looking at you, kid.” “May the Force be with you.” Movie quotes have a way of slipping into everyday conversation. Sometimes, the movies we quote are actually remakes of older movies. Remakes get a bad rap, but some are so good that people don’t even realize they’re remakes. Related You can argue, but these are the best movie sequels ever made It’s difficult for a sequel to surpass the original, but sometimes, that’s exactly what happens. Scarface “Say hello to my little friend!” Credit: Universal Pictures Scarface (1983) is the story…
If you’re looking for the best dump phone for kids (or, if you prefer, the best phones for kids), then you’re making a sensible decision. Because in a world where the best smartphones reign supreme, there’s something refreshingly straightforward about pared-down devices that offer just the right amount of connectivity, without the distractions and potential pitfalls of their smarter cousins. That’s why we’ve combed through the various available options to bring you a short, simple selection of the best dumb phones for kids. We’ve picked ones that are perfect for keeping your little ones (or not-so-little ones) connected, without breaking…
Streaming devices are one part of the consumer tech market that has been truly ravaged by ongoing component shortages, which have pushed up prices on everything from smartphones to consoles and desktop PCs. Both Roku and Amazon have pumped up the prices of their flagship streaming sticks in the past few months, and now, Google is following suit. Google’s TV Streamer now costs $150, a full 50% price hike from when it debuted in September 2024, replacing the Chromecast. Some third-party retailers like Best Buy have already bumped the price up 50%, though you can still find the 4K model…
It’s taken me a while to get behind the wheel of the Alpine A390 in its GT format (there’s also a GTS version) after being charmed by the Alpine A290 a while back. The wait has been worthwhile, however, because it is every bit as good as I’d hoped for. It’s a fun car that comes with a price tag (especially the £69,000 plus for the GTS) that puts it into the same buyer ballpark as the fabulous Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and Porsche Macan. Those cars are fun too, but the Alpine feels just a little more exclusive. A…
