LLMs can do a lot more than just generate code; they can also help you debug it. When the bug isn’t obvious, and the console output is actively throwing you off, handing over a snippet to your AI coding assistant and letting it comb through to find issues is a great way to save a ruined Tuesday. We have a number of options available for this—free, paid, and you can even run the biggest open models locally. So I put together a small test, a JavaScript file with three distinct bugs in it, and handed it off to Gemini, ChatGPT,…

Yellowstone is a five-season modern western from Taylor Sheridan, the TV mogul behind hits like Landman and Tulsa King. It stars Kevin Costner as John Dutton, the patriarch of a Montana ranching family willing to defend his way of life at any cost, and the cost gets very high indeed. Yellowstone was a massive hit that is still spawning prequels and spin-off shows. But it’s hardly the first TV series to wring drama out of our long obsession with gunslingers, lawlessness, and dysfunctional families. It’s also not the best. In fact, there are quite a few shows that beat Yellowstone…

I’ve spent the last few weeks writing about the Royal Pop – seeking out every leak, watching the hype build on Instagram, tracking the rumours, and somewhere along the way, I got properly swept up in it. I love an unusual watch, and there’s something about a collaboration this unlikely, Swatch and Audemars Piguet making a multi-coloured pocket watch, that got under my skin. So I did something I’ve never done before – I camped out in front of a store. Here’s exactly how it went… Friday – 5pm: Covent Garden is already a write-off I walked down to the…

There’s a reason why self-hosted media servers like Jellyfin and Plex are popular. There’s a reason why some people would rather buy Blu-rays and rip them rather than stream. And there was a reason why I attempted to build my own streaming box with Android TV on a Raspberry Pi: The smart TV market is one of the most aggressively monetized product categories in consumer tech. But the prospect isn’t as hopeless as it seems. There’s an OS built specifically to serve TVs, and almost no one knows about it. Related I plugged a Raspberry Pi into my smart TV…

I sometimes think Apple should ditch its fancy aluminium iPhone enclosures and instead make them out of bees. Not only would this make for a more vibrant iPhone Pro than even the orange model, but also it’d mean I’d be far less likely to pick up my iPhone and waste time with it. On account, you know, of the enclosure being made of bees. You might ask, “What about Screen Time?” Nope. No good. It’s far, far too easy to get past that system, ignore it entirely, and spend 17 consecutive hours doomscrolling. Bees it is, then. However, you might add, “What…

It’s been over three years since the previous Apple TV arrived – and it seems certain that we’ll get a new version of the streaming box soon. Yet nothing appeared (rather disappointingly) at Apple’s 4 March event or in the product reveals around it. And that has to be connected to the fact we haven’t yet got the revamped version of Siri we’re expecting to debut later in 2026. The 3rd-gen Apple TV 4K is a very capable streamer, so we’re not expecting hugely groundbreaking new features to debut in terms of the hardware itself. We have long lamented that…

Introduction I love the way that Mazda does its own thing and continues to have a very mixed portfolio of models to choose from. There are new all-electric offerings coming soon too, but in the meantime there’s this, the third-generation Mazda CX-5 fitted with a 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G powertrain. This car has delivered big time for Mazda over the years, and the latest incarnation delivers plenty of changes that, on paper at least, make it better. However, colleagues who were driving it at the same time as me, didn’t seem entirely convinced it was a better car than the older…

Streaming devices aren’t meant to last forever, and your Fire TV Stick is no different. But that doesn’t mean you have to replace it the moment things start feeling slow. In most cases, it’s the cache buildup, unused apps, and outdated software that’s responsible for the slowdown rather than the hardware. Thankfully, a bit of optimization is all it takes to make your old Fire TV Stick run like new again. And the good news is doing this doesn’t take much time or effort. Related These 5 Fire TV features made my streaming setup much more useful A few Fire…

Summary ChatGPT Pro subscribers can now link to their bank via Plaid to view balances, transactions, and more in chat. Granting ChatGPT access risks exposing detailed finances; anyone with chat access could see sensitive data. OpenAI offers controls and deletions but retains data for up to 30 days. It was only a matter of time, but now OpenAI is asking you to trust ChatGPT with access to your financial records. While the newly revealed feature utilizes a secure platform called Plaid to make the handshake between your bank and the AI, there are a lot of privacy concerns lying in…

In the biggest “spoiler” since the Titanic hit a big block of ice, HDR gaming on Windows devices remains a colossal clustermuck. Microsoft integrated support for the display format into its OS later than modern consoles did. As such, this tardy shift in embracing HDR is still being felt. Although I think these 5 Windows 11 settings matter more than HDR, there’s no question that even the best Steam games can struggle to convert High Dynamic Range signals properly. There are reasons why Microsoft systems can’t cope with HDR. Having to juggle between the HDR10 format, Windows’ built-in Auto HDR…
