All the TV shows and movies people keep telling you to stream aren’t beyond your reach if you’re stuck with a dumb TV. There are several easy ways to access streaming services without ever considering a smart TV. 5 Purchase a Streaming Device Brady Meyers / MakeUseOf Platforms like Roku and Amazon Prime have their own streaming devices you can purchase, plug into any old dumb TV you have and voilà—you have access to dozens of streaming services. Here are a couple to consider: Any of those streaming devices will essentially turn your dumb TV into a smart TV. And…
I use both ChatGPT and Claude AI assistants regularly, but Claude is my primary choice for most tasks. While both platforms have their strengths, I’ve found Claude offers several advantages that make it my preferred AI assistant for daily work. 6 Larger Context Window Claude’s impressive context window gives it a major advantage over ChatGPT when handling large documents. While ChatGPT Plus offers a 128K token context window with GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet 3.7 boasts a 200K token window. Anthropic claims this is roughly equivalent to a 500-page document in a single conversation. This difference is impressive for my workflow. When…
Every debut of a new Nintendo console is undoubtedly a big deal, but some Nintendo systems have been much more successful, impactful, and absolutely memorable than others. Nintendo’s earliest cartridge-based platforms all helped define console gaming and launched some of the most beloved franchises of all time, while the company’s more recent efforts have been a bit more hit or miss as Nintendo has explored experimental ideas. Now that the Switch OLED has become our go-to handheld/home console hybrid, and with Switch 2 on the horizon, it’s time to measure how the latest generation Nintendo hardware stacks up against its…
The best tablets might let you tote around a collection of tomes, but backlit pixels aren’t the best for bookworms. If you want a portable library without any eye strain, then the best e-readers go easy on your eyes by impersonating paper. With E Ink displays that imitate printed words, e-readers offer a more natural reading experience and many are lighter than a paperback, too. Some e-readers are even waterproof for summer beach reads, and some even feature built-in backlights for gentle illumination – so you won’t need a torch if book club runs past bedtime. Tempted to digitise your…
Introduction It’s hard to keep up with the sheer number of Chinese EV brands hoping to crack Europe right now. Changan is the latest, but has actually been around for forty years on home soil. The Deepal S07 is leading the enterprising carmaker’s global push, sitting in the same bracket as the undeniably successful Tesla Model Y. This mid-size SUV isn’t enormous and unwieldy like some rivals, boasts a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating and – naturally – comes loaded with lots of tech. A rear-mounted motor and 80kWh battery also deliver a respectable 215bhp of performance and nearly 300…
An old laptop needn’t lie in a drawer gathering dust. It can still serve a useful purpose as a Plex Media Server. But does Plex work better on Windows or Linux, and what should you use for your Plex server? One word of advice before you proceed. If, like me, your media files are scattered all over the place, then it’s a good idea to perform a little housework and prepare them beforehand. This can be done anytime, but it is simpler to do so before beginning the installation wizard. I’ve covered some basics, but a comprehensive guide can be…
Sora is impressive—until it completely forgets what it was doing. I’ve played with it enough to know where the seams are, and they’re not small. 1 No Long-Form Videos My biggest gripe with Sora is that you can only make 5-20 seconds long videos. At best, this could be a short-form video or B-roll. It’s hard to be creative within such a short period, and at best, I can see the tool being used for experimentation only. Since I have ChatGPT Plus, I’m limited to 10-second videos at most. I don’t think that the $200 per month fee for ChatGPT…
