Sometimes feel-good movies get a bad rap for being too campy or cringey. I say that’s part of their charm. There’s something about the genre that nurtures the soul and keeps it from hardening you into a cynical mess. 10 Kiki’s Delivery Service Watch Kiki’s Delivery Service on HBO Max Kiki’s Delivery Service doesn’t really have conflict in the traditional sense—there are no bad guys, nor is someone trying to take over the world. Instead, it focuses on a young girl whose job involves delivering packages on her flying broom. Meanwhile, it faces the challenges of loneliness and self-doubt. The…

One of this year’s hottest upcoming phone series is set to debut next month. Yes, it’s time for the iPhone 17, which is set to appear alongside the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.

Everything mentioned below is based on my experience of Apple’s previous iPhone launches, though I…
While shows like Ted Lasso and Severance get most of the buzz, that’s just scratching the surface. Don’t get me wrong, they’re amazing shows, but Apple TV+ has a catalog full of hidden gems waiting to be discovered. 6 The Afterparty (2022-23) Watch The Afterparty on Apple TV+ Solving a murder is the central theme of each of the two seasons of the comedy, The Afterparty. In the first, a pop star is murdered after his high school reunion. In the second, it’s a groom who faces an untimely demise immediately following his wedding. Both seasons star Tiffany Haddish as…
Watching Netflix on your smartphone is convenient since you can even do it offline while on the go. Still, I avoid it for a few good reasons, and once you see them, you might too. 5 It Destroys Your Battery Streaming Netflix on your phone may seem harmless, but it’s one of the fastest ways to drain your battery. It may not be as bad as gaming, but over time, this wear adds up. Video playback is one of the most power-hungry tasks your phone can handle. It’s no surprise that the battery life for streaming video is always shorter…
Companies love throwing around “benchmarks” and “token counts” to claim superiority, but none of that matters to the end user. So, I have my own way of testing them: a single prompt. The Simple Riddle That Once Broke Every Model There’s no shortage of LLMs in the market right now. Everyone’s promising the smartest, fastest, most “human” model, but for everyday use, none of that matters if the answers don’t hold up. I don’t care if a model is trained on a gazillion zettabytes or has a context window the size of an ocean—I care if it can handle a…
Although I love adding more of my physical media to my Plex server, sometimes I just want to kick back and watch television. With over a thousand live TV channels on Plex, only a handful come out on top. 10 At the Movies While I hesitate to call myself a film buff, I do watch a ton of movies, paying close attention to older ones released between the 70s and 90s. I consider those decades to be some of the best years for film. As luck would have it, Plex has At the Movies, a TV channel that broadcasts movies…

Google’s AI Mode finally reached the UK this week, and I hate it. Open Google in a browser and the ‘AI Mode’ button shimmers, begging to be clicked. And every results page has AI Mode lurking, menacingly, as the first tab. Before Videos. Before Images. Even before ‘All’, which is exactly how Google wants it. One day, Google will flick a switch. Every query will default to AI Mode. Other tabs will be secondary, then vanish entirely. “But hang on,” you might say. “So what? Isn’t it easier to get instant answers than scroll through pages of links? Isn’t that… progress?” Not…
