Amazon Prime Music has the chance to be the best music streaming service of all—but it’s held back by a confusing mixture of limitations, design flaws, and other general irritations. But if it could fix these problems, there would be no stopping it from overtaking Spotify, Apple Music, and any other competitors. 5 Skip Limits Should Be Axed Entirely Amazon Music Prime has a frustrating playback limitation, where you are only allowed a limited number of skips per song—even with an Amazon Prime subscription. This doesn’t apply to music you own—and I have something to say on that, too—or All-Access…
I just received an email confirming I’ve successfully verified I’m an adult. Exciting! Except no, because age verification is now going to be a regular thing for me. Why? Because the UK Online Safety Act went into effect on 25 July. And this isn’t just something affecting the land of tea, crumpets and queues. Governments worldwide are implementing similar measures to prevent minors from accessing high-risk and age-inappropriate content. Mostly, that means porn. But various jurisdictions are merrily lobbing social media and even search engines into the mix. My first verification came from Bluesky, the Twitter cosplay act I mostly lurk on…
The Skoda Elroq is a mid-size electric SUV that has sensible purchase written all over it, especially for anyone not needing the slightly bulkier Enyaq. I’ve recently been driving the Elroq Edition Lodge 85, which features a sizable 82 kWh battery pack that delivers 286 horsepower via a single speed automatic transmission. Compared to the lower trim options, this model is the cream of the crop.There’s a downside though, as this takes the price up to £45,260. Rather a lot more than the entry-level edition, which starts at around £31,000. However, based on what I’ve experienced from the Skoda Enyaq,…
How to install iOS 26/iPadOS 26 on your iPhone or iPad 1. Make sure your device is compatible. iOS 26 doesn’t run on all of the same devices that could run iOS 18 and this version officially ditches support for the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max – all of which are from 2018. Check out the iOS 26 system requirements. 2. Back up the device you intend to install the beta on to, in case of disaster. Betas can be buggy and as we mentioned above, don’t do this on a device you rely on. 3. Go to Settings > General >…
The point of getting a 4K TV was to enjoy the sharpness and depth of a higher resolution, but Blu-ray and UHD come at a premium. I’ve come up with a solution that involves Fandango at Home, a service closer to you than you think. Say Hello to Fandango at Home (Formerly Vudu) As someone who regularly buys DVDs and Blu-rays, I’ve come to know Vudu—a sort of online combination of Redbox and Netflix. You can rent digital movies and also stream free content, including TV series. The service itself remains available, but it has been rebranded as Fandango at…
Break out the birthday cake and your MIDI cables, because the Atari ST turned 40 this summer. Launched in 1985 as Atari’s answer to what was next in home computing, the 16-bit micro was part games machine, part serious workhorse, and part accidental rave enabler. Wait, the Atari ST? Isn’t that what people had when they couldn’t afford an Amiga? Oh, that’s what Amiga owners wanted you to think. But while Commodore’s machine beat Atari’s on specs, the ST was no slouch. The GEM interface set it up for work as well as play, there were loads of top games…
