After struggling with basic results, I’ve unlocked ChatGPT’s hidden brainstorming potential with simple tweaks. Breaking down my sessions into smaller chunks and using specific brainstorming techniques are just two of those ways. 1 Explicitly State the End Goal Being as specific as possible is one of the simplest AI prompting tricks that I’ve applied to my brainstorming sessions. I explicitly tell ChatGPT why I’m brainstorming so that the chatbot has more context. I also tell ChatGPT where I plan to use the information I get from brainstorming (e.g. in an article or for a research project). Doing both of these…
Quick Links How to Turn Off Autoplay on Netflix Why Netflix Autoplay Is Annoying We’ve all promised ourselves to watch just one Netflix episode before bed. Suddenly, the birds are chirping, the sun is rising, and you’ve binge-watched an entire season—all thanks to Netflix’s autoplay features. Luckily, you can disable autoplay on Netflix. How to Turn Off Autoplay on Netflix Netflix has two autoplay settings. The first, Autoplay Next Episode, is to blame for all your unplanned binge-watching sessions. It automatically plays the next episode as soon as the one you’re watching ends. A Next Episode button appears in the…
35 years ago, the arrival of Adobe Photoshop sent shockwaves through multiple industries. Overnight, artists, designers and photographers recognised that traditional retouching methods were destined for the trash. In their place emerged this go-to app, unlocking a world of creative possibilities arty types had previously only dreamt of. I love photoshopping! Just today, I used my phone to photoshop my face onto a baboon! Firstly, probably avoid admitting that kind of thing in public. It’s a bit weird. Secondly, avoid using ‘photoshop’ as a generic verb, unless you want Adobe’s crack team of assassin lawyers to pay you a visit.…
After ten series and several spin-offs, the Apple Watch is now the smartwatch equivalent of a TV box set. But when it comes to choosing the best Apple Watch for you, it’s not as simple as starting with the latest episode. From connected apps to fitness tracking to contactless payments, every recent Apple Watch has the smarts to embarrass traditional timepieces. But there are also important differences between each edition. They don’t all share the same screen size, dimensions or sensor setup, for starters. There are GPS sports watch-type features, too. And the price varies considerably depending on which ticker…

We’ve collected the best wired and wireless options across multiple price points.

Variable refresh rate may not be atop your priority list while shopping for a new smart TV—you may have never even heard of this tech. Still, this less-known feature will elevate your viewing experience regardless of what you love watching. What Is Variable Refresh Rate (VRR)? VRR allows your TV to adjust its refresh rate dynamically to match the frame rate of the displayed content, ensuring the two are always in sync. It plays a key role in reducing or eliminating screen tearing and stuttering, which happens when the content has a higher frame rate than the display’s refresh rate…
I recently revamped my living room’s audio experience without spending a fortune. It’s much easier than you think, and you can massively boost your listening experience while still affording your monthly rent! What Was Wrong With My Existing Audio Setup? My audio setup was essentially just my TV’s built-in speakers. That’s it. They had one job: make sound. And while they technically did that, the audio was flat, lifeless, and lacking the depth I craved. Music didn’t feel immersive. Watching movies at home was more like reading subtitles than feeling the action. To be fair, I could make out what…

Introduction Having only just recently driven the Ford Explorer, I was keen to try the Blue Oval’s other resurrected marque – despite the controversy of using the revered Capri moniker for something so, er, nothing of the sort. Name aside, this is a very decent electric saloon-cum-SUV, with plenty of appeal for those wanting lots of interior space. The levels of personality emanating from this car are rather less plentiful. It’s a little bland, both inside and out. Some have suggested it looks like a Polestar from certain angles, while others have labelled it (rather harshly, in my view) gopping.…
