While books have always been a popular source of source material for movies, in recent years, books are increasingly getting adapted as TV shows. Between Game of Thrones, Slow Horses, 3 Body Problem, Silo, and much more, it’s a literary feast out there. For all the TV lovers out there looking for something new to read, here are some great books that are getting TV adaptations, either in the immediate future or some ways down the line. Neuromancer Took them long enough Credit: Ace Neuromancer is a pioneering sci-fi novel by William Gibson. Published in 1984, it follows a hacker named…

If you’ve ever tumbled down a YouTube/Instagram/TikTok rabbit hole, you’ll definitely have spotted at least one DJI Osmo Pocket: the compact gimbal-stabilised camera is a content creator’s best friend. Well what if one of those had a baby with an Honor Magic8 Pro? You’d get something like the Honor Robot Phone – possibly the most exciting new handset I’ve tried so far in 2026. While unassuming from the front, this oddball handset is hiding a gimbal of its own, letting its high pixel count sensor capture the sort of steady footage no other phone can hope to match. It also…

We’ve compiled a list of some of the best options available. While many VPN providers charge for their services, there are also several excellent free choices out there. In this guide, we’ll focus on those free options and highlight what they have to offer.

Whether you’re streaming on Netflix and other services, watching live sports, or just surfing the web, a VPN can help protect your privacy and keep your online activity safe. In the UK, the Online Safety Act could…

Picking your favourite child is far easier than your favourite watch – especially when, like me, you only have the one – and with a release slate that puts Marvel’s cinematic universe to shame, thinking back to last month, let alone the beginning of the year, is no mean feat. There have been ultra-accessible, value-driven microbrand propositions, high-end, haute horology flexes and everything in-between. The world of watchmaking just does not stop. So, when I say that these are my favourite watches, understand that it’s a malleable list. Ask me at the pub next week and I’ll probably have a…

I have an eight-year-old and a six-year-old, so you might think I’d have a couple more years’ grace before anyone asks me for a phone (no such luck). I didn’t have one until I was 13, after all, and all it could do was send SMS messages, make calls, and let me play Snake – the internet and social media were not things my mother had to lose sleep over. Before that, the height of childhood connectivity tech was a pager, and the only notifications interrupting playtime at the park were a string of numbers or a ‘call home’ message…

This December, Dune: Part Three will drop into theaters opposite Avengers: Doomsday, a match-up that should be great fun to watch. It’s the final film in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune movie trilogy, and is poised to be an ever bigger deal than the first two. It also stands a good chance of ending the trilogy on a bum note. Denis Villeneuve’s movies finally do Dune right It was a long time coming Although it wasn’t an instant hit upon release in 1965, it only took a few years for Frank Herbert’s Dune to become a bestselling book. Dune tells the story…

The internet has settled on a grim nickname for what has become, in essence, my favourite pair of walking headphones: “pervert glasses”. That’s awkward, because headphones really are what my Ray-Ban Metas mostly are to me. Most of the time, I use them as open-ear headphones while walking around town or through the woods near my home. I average around 20,000 steps a day, and I can still hear cars, cyclists, and other people around me. They sound much better than the bone-conduction headphones I’ve tried, too. Occasionally, I’ll listen to an audiobook or YouTube video instead, and they help…

For anyone strolling around with an iPhone, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is a great rugged smartwatch. It offers a solid design and a fantastic user experience. Its battery life won’t challenge most Garmin watches to a duel, but it’s the best you’ll get in an Apple Watch.  Compared with the Apple Watch Series 11, the Watch Ultra 3 has an Action Button for quick access to a feature of your choice (within reason), a brighter, flatter display, and a larger case size, resulting in a larger screen. It also offers Emergency SOS via Satellite. It is not perfect, though.…
