The weekend is the perfect time to relax and enjoy something new on Netflix. But what if you don’t have enough time to start watching a massive series with a million seasons, but too much time to fill with just one movie? In that case, you want a miniseries, the perfect compromise. Happily, Netflix is overflowing with great miniseries that will keep you entertained for exactly as long as you need them to. His & Hers It’s not nearly as cute as it sounds His & Hers stars Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson as Jack Harper and Anna Andrews, an…

ChatGPT is one of the apps I open daily. I already use ChatGPT as a deep research tool when I need to dig into a topic. If I opened a download page that made it hard to find what I was looking for, I had to ask ChatGPT where to click, then click everything myself. That started to change when OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work on July 9. OpenAI says Work is available on every plan in the desktop app, though it’s still rolling out to eligible accounts. It can take over a task for me, so I don’t waste time…

I assumed an AI website builder would make a basic page demo like we used to back in the HTML days: a single page, some placeholder Lorem Ipsum, maybe a button that doesn’t actually do anything. That’s been my experience with most “build a site with AI” tools since they showed up, including the Photoshop connector we tested inside ChatGPT a few months back, which was genuinely useful but clearly bolted-on. So when OpenAI folded a full site builder called ChatGPT Sites into its new Work mode, I wanted to know if it was something that could actually hold up…

If you own an Apple Watch you might have put it on recently and noticed something missing. Didn’t there used to be a Shazam app on it? I have an original Apple Watch SE and when I strapped it on earlier this week the Shazam shortcut (or ‘complication’ to use the haughty horological term) I had installed in the corner of my favoured aviation-inspired watch face was gone. Upon further investigation I discovered it had also been removed from the list of customisation options, and when I fired up the Watch app on my iPhone Shazam was nowhere to be…

The smartwatch market has spent years adding bigger displays, more apps and ever more features. But the latest wearable trend appears to be heading in the opposite direction. Whoop, Google’s Fitbit Air and Garmin’s newly announced Cirqa all ditch the screen in favour of a lightweight health tracker designed to be worn around the clock . And while Apple hasn’t been credibly linked with a rival device, that hasn’t stopped rumours of a so-called Apple Watch Neo fitness tracker from making the rounds Price and release date Okay, so at the time of writing, there are no credible reports that…

It’s amazing how our perception of quality changes as we enjoy higher-resolution formats. Back in the day, I thought movies on DVD played great on my old-school TV. That was until I saw what Blu-ray looked like on modern flatscreens, and I had a similar epiphany when trying 4K UHD Blu-ray discs for the first time. Quality is relative, and in the era of high-resolution physical media and 4K streaming, we’re spoiled. That doesn’t mean we have to let the availability of higher-quality formats ruin our enjoyment of lower-quality formats. I spent a small fortune building a home theater centered…

Action movies come in waves. In the 1980s, brawny action heroes like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone held down the genre with their considerable charisma. In the late ’90s, The Matrix helped usher in an era of high-flying wirework. And in the 2010s, the John Wick franchise brought things back down to earth with its kinetic, close-quarters fight sequences. Keanu Reeves headlines both The Matrix and the John Wick movies, so he may have more influence on modern action films than any other person alive. But John Wick didn’t come out of nowhere. A few years before the first John…

The foldable phone faucet has just been well and truly opened. Samsung just unleashed three new models at its London Unpacked event: two familiar faces and one all-new arrival. The Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8 and Z Flip8 are three distinct takes on the foldable formula. Now that I’ve fondled all three, there’s a clear front runner that I’m genuinely excited to live with. While it’s great to see Samsung finally letting the Z Flip8 run apps on its outer screen and the Z Fold8 Ultra’s bigger battery is a bonus, it was the pocket-friendly Galaxy Z Fold8 that I…

Samsung has a been a giant of the modern flip phone resurgence pretty much from day one, but has stayed there by playing it safe. The Galaxy Z Flip8 might be the firm’s most restrained (some might say boring) effort yet, but this year’s effort does refine the formula in a few key places. I got an early look at the Flip8 ahead of Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked reveal event. While it doesn’t have the freshness factor of the short’n’wide Galaxy Z Fold8 or the high-end hardware of the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, I still walked away impressed by how Samsung…

Garmin’s take on the no-screen fitness tracker is finally official. The Cirqa puts automatic activity detection and 24/7 health monitoring in a distraction-free device which – unlike class king Whoop – doesn’t require an ongoing subscription. I got the chance to try the compact and lightweight tracker at a London gym space ahead of the July 24 public release. It’s still early days – especially as a sluggish Play Store update meant I wasn’t able to pair to my Android phone – but it already looks like the Cirqa gets a lot right. How does the Cirqa stand out from…
