If you’ve got a robot vacuum looking after the inside of your house, it only makes sense for a robot lawnmower to look after the outside. I’ve got one and I’m a fan. So much so, that I’ve set one up for two lots of family members now. But one of my biggest gripes comes to mapping out your garden. While my Yarbo mower is a tank, I had to manually map it out with a remote control. And while I’d say I did a decent job, it’s far from perfect. Others work in a similar way now, replacing the old wire…
Amid all the buzz of the newly revealed Nintendo Switch 2, the price of software has been a sore point of discussion (and peripherals too, let’s be fair – £75 for a new pro controller? Ouch). It’s looking like physical games are going to cost more than digital, while more souped up Switch 2 editions of older games will also cost to upgrade. And am I really going to pay full whack for Cyberpunk 2077, which will be almost five years old at this point? While everyone’s busy with accusing Nintendo of greed and hubris – perhaps fairly, perhaps not…
I love using AI chatbots for long, complex conversations. But the truth is that some AI chatbots handle lengthy chats much better than others due to what’s known as a context window—and these are my four favorite AI chatbots for the job. 4 Claude When it comes to handling lengthy conversations, Claude is genuinely impressive. Anthropic’s latest model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, boasts a massive 200K context window, allowing it to process lengthy conversations. Its other models have a reasonable 128K context window. This is helpful for those marathon brainstorming sessions where you need the AI to remember what you discussed…
Remember when you last bought a book, took it home, and found it was only a cover, with a slip of paper inside detailing where to download the missing pages? Or when you bought a CD, played it, and merely heard a brief recording explaining how to grab the tracks online? Of course you don’t. Because both those examples are akin to lunacy. Yet this is the kind of rubbish gamers increasingly have to put up with, due to physical media that sort of isn’t. The latest example: Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Cards. As outlined in a helpful Nintendo support article,…
Many modern LG TVs allow you to speak to Alexa or Google Assistant with the voice remote—you might even have a shortcut for these features right on your remote. However, some LG TVs are about to lose their Google influence. LG TVs Are Dropping Google Assistant This week, many owners of LG smart TVs (including on Reddit) started seeing warnings that Google Assistant will no longer work as of May 1. You thus won’t be able to speak to the assistant to interact with your TV via search or other features. The notice makes it clear that general voice functionality…
Watches and Wonders 2025 was full of stories. With over 60 of the world’s best watch brands vying for media attention, this year’s show delivered everything from ultra-complicated haute horlogerie to minimalist marvels. But one watch stole the limelight the moment it was unveiled: the Rolex Land-Dweller. With its integrated bracelet design that nods to the 1970s Oysterquartz, the Land-Dweller boasts 32 patent applications – 18 exclusive to this model, and 16 relating to its new 5Hz movement. Everyone has an opinion on it. And fair enough – it’s Rolex doing quite unusual things for a brand that usually plays…
