Smart TVs already make it ridiculously easy to consume series, movies, and videos. You’ve got YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, and Hotstar, among others, everything in one place, just a tap away. And honestly, that already feels like more than enough. But I never thought I’d be installing a browser on my smart TV, let alone using it almost every day. Now that I have, there’s genuinely no going back. This isn’t a regular browser we’re used to using on our phones and laptops. It’s built differently, and it actually pulls everything into one place: websites, games, live streams, videos, and…
Tinkering with older electronics brings an extra layer of joy to my life. While it doesn’t even feel like it’s been that long, the iPod Classic was originally released in 2001 and has already been discontinued for over a decade. Rather than let my iPod sit in a drawer destined to a life of obscurity, I decided that I should attempt to breathe new life into one of my favorite media players. After sweat, tears, and a bit of blood (more on that later), I reinvigorated my 6th-generation iPod Classic with a slew of new parts, and it’s now become…
Stuff VerdictThe EV5 carries a similar level of appeal and delivers the same practicality as Kia’s super successful Sportage but with the added boost of an electric powertrainProsBlocky design works a treatAmple room for all on the insideFast enough and efficient tooConsQuite a lot of shiny black plastic Average maximum charging speed Introduction Mid-size electric SUVs are decidedly plentiful right now, with the likes of the Tesla Model Y, Skoda Enyaq or the Renault Scenic E-Tech being just a few highlights that spring to mind.

AI browsers. Supposedly, they’re the future of the web. The pitch goes like this: websites will stop being designed for humans and start being designed for AI agents instead, with clean structures, predictable buttons, and machine-readable intent. You won’t browse anymore. You’ll instruct. The agent will scan, click, compare, and decide on your behalf. That future may arrive eventually. Right now, we are nowhere near it. Two of the most prominent attempts at this agentic browser idea are Perplexity’s Comet and OpenAI’s Atlas. Both promise to act on your behalf inside the browser. So we tested them side by side,…
It’s naive to think that any piece of technology you buy doesn’t have some kind of expiry date. There’s a good reason even the most hipster of hipsters aren’t doing all of their computing on a ZX Spectrum, listening to all their favourite albums on tape, or giving themselves a hernia whenever they fancy moving their television. But it’s something else entirely when a new gadget, in an era of supposed eco-friendly awareness, is intentionally designed with a strictly limited lifespan. Yet that’s the case with the Pebble Index 01. The concept itself probably belongs in the ‘nice but unnecessary’ category. It’s the sort…
I’ve been an avid gamer my whole life, but after getting married, I learned that Feng Shui is more important than displaying your favorite console in the living room. Now that my wife and I have our own home, it was time to get creative. She wanted our living room to feel cozier, but we both still wanted to play our favorite games together. With all of my consoles in my office, it was time to get a little creative. That’s when the idea struck me—what if I were to run a long HDMI cord from my office through the…
I have a bit of a confession to make: I am a human packrat. My phone storage is stuffed with video files, and it’s become a chaotic jumble of random MKVs, old ripped DVDs, and home movies with incredibly unhelpful filenames. For the longest time, I just defaulted to one of the best video players for Android: VLC. We all do, right? It is the utilitarian workhorse of the media world. It plays everything, handles every codec under the internet, and never disappoints. However, using it always felt a bit sterile to me. It gets the job done, but looking…

Choosing the best iPhone used to be easy. With the original, you picked a storage size. A year later, there were colour options too. (Well, black or white.) Then – boom – you owned one of the best smartphones on the planet. Now? You’re faced with an increasingly complex selection of shiny new iPhones and last-generation stragglers. Our guide is here to cut through the noise. We’ll spell out who each currently shipping iPhone is best for, dig into the highs and lows, point you towards the ideal older iPhone for kids, and tackle common questions that might otherwise derail…
