Claude consistently impresses me with thoughtful responses and nuanced conversations that feel genuinely helpful. It often provides exactly the depth I need. Yet some limitations make me constantly switch back to ChatGPT for specific features that Claude lacks. 5 No Image Generation Breaks My Creative Workflow Gavin Phillips / GPT-4o / MakeUseOf Claude leaves me hanging when I need to visualize ideas or create quick diagrams. There’s no built-in image generation, and that is something I often need for work. ChatGPT introduced image generation natively in its interface in March 2025, powered by the GPT-4o model. You can describe a…

I used to watch YouTube everywhere—on my phone, TV, laptop, and desktop. It all feels the same, right? Wrong. It’s time to ditch your smartphone and TV and watch YouTube on the platform it was designed for: your desktop. 4 TVs Don’t Multitask, and Phones Don’t Do It Well If you’d like to watch YouTube while doing something else on the same device—as I often do—you can’t do it on your TV. And while multitasking is possible on mobile devices, it’s not always convenient. Yes, I can use split-screen or picture-in-picture mode, but the video ends up squashed into a…

Snapping up one of the best phones for photography is something more of us are doing, now that cameras have become the biggest differentiators between handsets. New hardware and software improvements are also coming thick and fast with each new launch. But which is the best? The reality, of course, is that not all smartphones are made equal, especially when it comes to camera performance. We’ve rounded up some of the best top-tier smartphone cameras for photography currently available, based on years of expertise. If you’re after the best cameraphone, look no further than this lot: Why you can trust…

Nintendo is home to some of the most iconic and beloved characters to have graced a games console, but its first ever mascot, Donkey Kong, is long overdue some proper respect. That may seem a tricky proposition when the gorilla was originally designed as oafish and dumb, but he’s come a long way since debuting more than 40 years ago. He’s gone from titular antagonist to beat at the arcade, to a playable platforming hero in his own right from the SNES onwards. And while he’s had fewer headline outings than Mario, every time he’s come back it’s always with…

Smartphones that transform into sizeable tablets used to be pure sci-fi… but now bendable screens are our tech reality. Besides the obvious wow factor, these book-style foldables offer innovative flexibility that could change the way you use your mobile – while also packing in hardware to rival the best phones with more traditional form factors. Think folding phones are just a hinged gimmick? Think again. The best foldable phones are about as versatile as handsets get, even if they almost exclusively come at prices that make regular flagships look cheap. We’ve tested them all to work out which is best,…

It’s been well over 40 years since Mario – first called “Jumpman” in those simpler days – first leapt into our hearts in the original Donkey Kong, and we’ve savoured nearly every moment since with the loveable action-plumber. He’s appeared in hundreds of games now, spanning all manner of genres, platforms, and styles, but Nintendo’s impressively mustachioed mascot has an incredible legacy for quality: his core games, in particular, have consistently defined and redefined genres, not to mention single-handedly made pricey gaming hardware into essential purchases. To keep things focused, we’re only including Mario platformers here, with all 2D and…

I’ve subscribed to Spotify for years—my oldest playlist was made 14 years ago. And I’ve been a premium user all of that time, so I think it’s fair to ask: why is Spotify still missing these features after all this time? 9 Absolute Feature Parity Between Mobile and Desktop As I’m often chained to my desk, writing or editing, I primarily use Spotify’s desktop version. And the number of times changes are made to Spotify’s desktop version to unify features or the design experience with mobile is frustrating, as it often makes the desktop experience worse. Case in point: when…

While you watch your favorite movies and shows, your smart TV might just be watching you back. And if you’re like me, that privacy invasion is a huge problem, which is why it’s time to take action and secure your smart TV from spying. 6 Modified Privacy Settings Digvijay Kumar / MakeUseOf A solid indication that your smart TV’s security is compromised is if you notice that the default privacy setting has changed. For instance, if data-sharing options were previously disabled but are now turned back on, or if your login credentials for different apps appear to have changed, it…

I’ve tested far too many robot vacuums. And as much as I love the machines, mopping often leaves something to be desired. When I’ve been testing robot vacs, they’ve often struggled to mop up stains on hard floors. But Dreame’s latest release might finally fix this. The Aqua 10 Ultra Roller Complete is the brand’s newest entry in the Aqua Series. It’s possibly the most aggressively over-engineered mop-on-wheels I’ve ever laid eyes on – in the best way. Dreame decided that the soggy cloth or mop pad approach of every other robot vac on the market was no longer cutting it.…
