Knowing how to use Google TV isn’t too complicated, but getting the most out of it takes a little exploration. Once you do, your viewing experience can become faster, smarter, and more personalized. 6 Install apps directly from your phone or PC Much like an Android phone, Google TV has its own Play Store where you can browse and install new apps. However, using the TV remote to navigate through menus and type out searches is far less seamless than on a phone. Also, if you’ve enabled apps-only mode on your Google TV to hide recommendations and simplify the home…
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is the phone world’s new favourite buzzword. Almost every upcoming phone has plans to incorporate machine learning and large language models in some form or another, and the first to do so are already on sale. But what are the best AI phones – and the features they bring actually worth having? I’ve used a bunch of phones with AI on board, and a handful more that offload their AI processing to the cloud. The best AI smartphones have a mix of both. You’ll even find AI cameras and AI image editing on certain flagships. Some…
Sometimes the best trailers don’t come from Hollywood studios. Fans with editing skills and a wild sense of imagination have been cutting their own trailers for years. The best fan-made trailers aren’t just patchworks but love letters to movies, like some of the ones here. 12 Green Lantern (2009) Two years before Ryan Reynolds officially suited up as the Green Lantern, this fan trailer made the internet believe that a big-screen version could actually happen. The editing was slick for its time, combining footage from Halo 3, Serenity, and Star Trek with clever effects that sold the illusion. Who knew…

There, he meets an eccentric private investigator (played by Cahmoun), who successfully ropes him…
Animated films are a fan-favorite at my house—it doesn’t matter if it’s 2D or 3D. We just really love the medium and the unique art styles, but these movies in particular are among our favorites. They’ll win over mom, dad, and the kids! 5 K-Pop Demon Hunters Watch K-Pop Demon Hunters on Netflix To the public, Huntrix are just an incredibly popular—some would say the most popular—K-pop band around, but secretly they slay demons and keep the Honmoon protected with their singing. However, a group of demons disguised as a K-pop boy band (and have catchy music of their own)…
Popular anime is notorious for having multiple seasons with dozens or even hundreds of episodes to get through. But what if you want something short, sweet, and complete to watch over the weekend? Well, you’re in luck. 9 Death Parade (12 Episodes) Watch Death Parade on Crunchyroll In Death Parade, two souls will arrive in a mysterious bar called Quindecim after they die simultaneously in the real world.

I really wanted to lean into a mix of genres on Netflix this weekend—a dose of anime, a bit of drama, and the macabre. This weekend, I’ll be diving headfirst into shows with an emphasis on conflict. Also Stream on Crunchyroll and Disney+ Equivalent exchange is the law of the land; something cannot be created from nothing. After a failed attempt at human transmutation, the Elric brothers train to become State Alchemists—dogs of the military—in order to learn everything they can about the fabled Philosopher’s Stone. It is rumored that the stone can ignore the law of equivalent exchange and…
Are you familiar with cutting-edge mini-LED technology? Between OLED, QLED, LED and all the rest, it’s sometimes difficult to know what tech your TV runs on…and if you should even care. That doesn’t stop the hype train though, and mini-LED is one of the hottest new technologies in the home entertainment space. Better still, as this innovative technology becomes more affordable, it’s taking the place of typical TV sets. There are many advantages to using mini-LED, but some may be a little overkill for your needs. Here’s what you should know about before taking the mini-plunge on mini-LED. What is…
We’ve never been more connected to the web at any other point in time. At home? Your devices are likely on the Wi-Fi (maybe a mesh network) such as your smart speaker. Out and about? You’ll either be gobbling up data or asking for Wi-Fi password hand outs. There’s not a single model on our best laptops list that doesn’t have multiple bands of wireless goodness inside it. And there’s plenty of extra usage, too. Light bulbs now talk to the internet – not to mention fridges, ovens, and even tumble dryers (we think). To keep up with all this…
Most of the AI tools we use run in the cloud and require internet access. And although you can use local AI tools installed on your machine, you need powerful hardware to do so. At least, that’s what I thought, until I tried to run some local AI tools using my near-decade-old hardware—and found that it actually works. Why use a local AI chatbot anyway? I’ve used countless online AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and so on. They work great. But how about those times when you don’t have an internet connection and still want to use an…
