Fed up with getting wet? You need one of the best waterproof jackets. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is in the UK – there’s always a chance of rain – winter is wet, spring weather is anyone’s guess, autumn is nothing but soggy leaves, and don’t even get us started on summer… Unpredictable weather can make layering up tricky business, though. Wrap up for inclement conditions, and you can bet the sun will shine all day. But leave home without a jacket and you’re guaranteed to be caught in a squall as soon as you step off the bus.…
Though there are hundreds of thousands of AI tools available now, most people’s default answer when you ask them what AI tool they use most is still ChatGPT. It’s become the go-to, almost reflexively. And while ChatGPT is admittedly powerful, many don’t realize that it’s not the only option and many alternatives exist. ChatGPT also locks a lot of its best features behind paywalls (or sets frustrating limits you hit within minutes). The only way to avoid these restrictions and continue using ChatGPT is to subscribe to one of its premium tiers. To enjoy everything the AI chatbot has to…
Air stylers are having a moment and I’m all for it. What’s not to like – with multiple attachments these 5-in-1 / 6-in-1 stylers allow you to create multiple styles at home. This can make them a cost effective way of achieving several different looks, as opposed to buying lots of different single purpose hair tools. Versatility aside, because high-quality air stylers like the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x and Shark Glam models on test here operate within the temperature range for a normal hairdryer and are able to regulate and control the heat you’re using, they keep it even, so you…
The original Tron is one of those formative viewing experiences for me, and it helped solidify my love for the science fiction genre. While the graphics haven’t aged as well as other films from the time period, it’s still a gorgeous, colorful film with its own distinct style. In 2010, this aesthetic was transported well into the sequel Tron: Legacy, a film that I believe is supremely underrated and works as a complementary piece to the first film. I also think you could argue it’s a film that only gets better the second time you watch it. I was hoping…
OpenAI just took the stage to unveil ChatGPT Atlas, and you could almost feel the collective sigh as users worldwide rolled their eyes. As the foremost LLM chatbot company continues struggling to monetize and legitimize its often uninspiring, yet admittedly impressive software, it’s fair to wonder how the latest novel product could possibly take off. Amid existing browsers trying (and failing) to successfully integrate AI in ways the public actually appreciates, Atlas certainly seems like more of the same — and it doesn’t look like it will suddenly kick off an agentic AI revolution. AI browsers surfing the AI-packed web…
If you currently subscribe to HBO Max, be on the lookout for some bad news in your inbox. Warner Bros. Discovery, the streaming giant’s owner, just shared that all three subscription tiers will increase in price. According to Variety, the change is effective immediately for new plans, and existing users will see the price hike reflected on their next renewal following November 20, at the latest. An unfortunate (if predictable) change What goes up doesn’t always come down Credit: Brady Meyers / MakeUseOf The price hike follows over a year after a similar report from Variety in June 2024, but this…
Gone are the days of tapping in passcodes or resting your finger for print recognition. With just a quick look at your mug, the latest Apple devices phones can tell if they’re being held by their rightful owner. But just what is Face ID – and how does it work? More than just a fancy way to unlock your mobile, Face ID is also used to verify account credentials, authenticate payments and generally secure your daily digital activities. But this raises a key question: just how secure is the tech – and can it be fooled by someone holding up…
Introduction If, like me, you feel the motoring world has overdosed on SUVs lately, the Volvo ES90 will bring some welcome respite. The lavish fastback is both refreshingly different and a return to form for the Swedish marque, being its first true electric car – something it used to sell rather a lot of before pivoting to the high-riding alternative. The ES90 arrives early next year to rival the BMW i5, Audi A6 e-tron and Mercedes-Benz EQE, giving the executive class a level of choice that’s been missing since Volvo discontinued the combustion-powered S60 and S90. Deliveries also start ‘the…
It might be shifting record numbers on consoles, but the PC is the Battlefield series’ home turf – a fact the development team hasn’t forgotten. Battlefield 6 has skipped some 2025 tech trends in the name of performance, but still looks drop dead gorgeous with all the visual treats turned on. EA’s large-scale shooter isn’t as demanding on your hardware as its epic explosions might imply, no matter what resolution you care to play at. That makes it a great test of the current graphics card sweet spot, Nvidia’s RTX 5070, showing whether 12GB of video memory enough to get…
For all the talk about how connected the internet makes us, most of what we watch stays trapped inside our own bubble. The same shows, the same news cycle, the same algorithm deciding what we “might like.” But every once in a while, you find a corner of the web that cuts through all that noise. That’s exactly how I felt when I stumbled upon TV Garden, a browser-based site that casually lets you stream live channels from around the world without spending a dime. It gives off a bit of the same vibe as Live TV Wall, which also…
