I’m not someone who’s obsessed with AI tools. Now, that doesn’t mean I never use AI in my everyday life. I often use ChatGPT for several tasks, like brainstorming ideas, drafting emails, solving calculations, analyzing documents, creating images, and more. So yes, ChatGPT became an indispensable part of my daily workflow. But after months of using ChatGPT, I started noticing that it isn’t the best AI tool for every task. ChatGPT can give you great answers, but it doesn’t perform the best for everything. For specific tasks such as factual lookup, creative image generation, interactive presentations, and more, you can…

Wi-Fi networks in many homes are strained by bandwidth, interference, and range limits. Theoretically, modern wireless networking standards like Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 can match wired Ethernet speeds, but those theoretical ratings are almost impossible to replicate in the real world. That’s why, with tens of Wi-Fi devices connected to my home network at any given time, I’ve gone all-in on wired networking wherever possible. The biggest bandwidth hog might be your smart TV, and I took mine out of the mix by adding an Ethernet connection. You could use the Ethernet port on your smart TV, but I’ve…

I’ve been using my Android smart TV for over four years now, and it’s still on almost every day, whether for streaming, some music, or that occasional late-binge sessions. Like most tech, though, age starts to show. Performance dips, menus take longer to respond, and apps aren’t as snappy as they used to be. That’s simply the natural lifecycle of any gadget. That said, a device slowing down doesn’t automatically mean it’s time to replace it. Sure, the idea of upgrading crossed my mind, that tempting thought of bringing home a shiny new TV, but jumping straight to a purchase,…

AI already moves fast, but the last few days have been a whirlwind even by its standards. Anthropic refused to give the Pentagon unrestricted access to Claude, after which the Trump administration labeled the company a “supply chain risk” and ordered federal agencies to stop using its technology. Hours later, OpenAI went on to sign the very deal Anthropic had turned down — enabling the Department of War to deploy its AI models across classified military networks. The funny thing, though, is that Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, had publicly voiced support for Anthropic’s stance just hours before striking…

The second half of Bridgerton season 4 is now out on Netflix, and easily topping the charts. Since 2020, this Regency-era romance series has thrilled viewers. It may not be the most action-packed historical fiction show on Netflix, but it’s zesty, sexy, and full of opulent period detail. If you’re the kind of person who loves shows about well-dressed English people trying to restrain their torrid emotions, and there are a lot of you out there, Bridgerton is a must-watch. But it’s not the only such show available. Bridgerton builds on a long history of juicy English parlor dramas, including…

I’m always excited to get my hands on new Soundcore cans, and I’ve just had a hands-on test of the new Space 2 headphones at MWC 2026. Building on the fantastic Space One headphones, the Space 2 brings upgrades in key areas: better ANC, longer battery life, and audio tweaks that improve their overall soundstage. Better still, they’re an absolute steal for the quality and will easily become the best ANC headphones bargain of 2026.

The AI chatbot Claude has leapfrogged OpenAI’s ChatGPT to become the most downloaded free app on Apple’s U.S. App Store. The climb comes amid growing public scrutiny of ChatGPT following OpenAI’s announcement that it would collaborate with the U.S. Department of Defense to deploy AI technology on classified networks. Earlier this week, President Trump directed all federal agencies to immediately stop using any AI technology from Anthropic, the company behind Claude. The order followed a week-long standoff in which the administration sought to have Anthropic allow its technology to support mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous military weapons — two…

If you spend a lot of time using Plex on your iPhone, you might think the official app is the best option. You set up your server, add your movies and TV shows, and then use the Plex apps to access everything. But after a while, you might start to notice some problems, like when videos stutter or take a long time to load, or when the interface doesn’t always work the way you want it to. And sometimes, you might even find that certain files just won’t play properly. That’s when you might start looking for a better way…

Isn’t it annoying when you want to watch TV and someone in the house yells at you to turn it down? Maybe you want to game while a baby is napping in the room, or have hearing difficulties and need the volume to be at a level you can comfortably hear, but your partner complains it’s too loud. I watch TV late at night, so I turn down the volume and even use closed captions so as not to disturb others. This means I miss out on details, whether it’s a booming action scene in a show like Paradise that…
