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…

It’s a brave company that tries to muscle in on today’s computer market. But with the Terminal Pro, Lumon believes there’s a space for people who find themselves split in terms of where to go. For this is a desktop PC that almost feels like it has multiple personalities.  There’s a warmth from the CRT display – but the cold, calculating heart of a corporate workhorse. The design feels like a deliberate throwback, and yet there are hints of modernity in the touchscreen. It’s simultaneously fascinating and unnerving. But is it any good? Let’s find out in the Stuff Lumon Terminal…

ChatGPT-4.5 was marketed as a groundbreaking revelation, but I wasn’t impressed. OpenAI’s latest AI model has several areas where it needs improvement, and it failed to deliver on what we were promised. 7 More Emotional Intelligence, but Not Much One main point of GPT-4.5 was that it would have better emotional intelligence. And while it’s slightly better than the previous version, I don’t think it’s significant enough. When I have conversations in GPT-4.5, I still don’t feel like it’s entirely natural. While it’s possible to use ChatGPT to develop emotional intelligence, I’m still on the fence about whether AI can…

OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT update is one of its best, bringing a massive upgrade to GPT-4o image generation. Now, instead of switching to DALL-E 3, you can generate extremely high-quality images with GPT-4o without starting a new chat. However, there’s a catch for ChatGPT’s free users—at least, there is for now. ChatGPT’s Image Generation Receives an Enormous Upgrade OpenAI’s GPT-4o model is the go-to for most default conversations on ChatGPT. It works for a huge range of questions, with OpenAI labelling the model “Great for most questions.” And it is; it hits a wide range of information with speed and accuracy—but…

OpenAI just dropped a monster upgrade to ChatGPT’s image generation, and it’s one of those moments where you blink, look again, and start questioning reality. I won’t waste your time with numbers, model sizes, or how many bazillion GPU hours the new model chews through. I’m just gonna show you what this thing can do—and how it stacks up against the older DALL-E model. 7 Hands and Fingers A close-up of someone playing an E minor chord on a guitar, fingers pressing down on the strings with shallow depth of field. AI image generation blew our minds when it first…

You finally bought a smart TV, or maybe you’ve owned one for a while now, and it looks great in your living room. But somehow, something feels missing, and you can’t quite put your finger on it. Well, these smart TV accessories will take your viewing experience from “Yeah, this is nice” to “Why didn’t I do this sooner?!” 9 ​Dedicated Sound System Proxima Studio/Shutterstock I bet your smart TV’s built-in speakers probably sound like they were an afterthought. I say this because these days, manufacturers focus on making TVs thinner and bezels smaller, which is great for aesthetics but…

While robot lawn mowers aren’t particularly exciting, this one is. Since I first saw the Yarbo at CES, I couldn’t help but be impressed. This robot lets you swap out modules, so you can look after your garden in any season. And thanks to this new trimmer module, the system is better than ever. Yarbo’s $499 trimmer module will solve my biggest gripe with the lawn robot – missed edges. Since you have to map out your garden manually, it’s hard to get right up to the perimeter, especially where there are wood boundaries. Rather than relying on complicated sensors…

The Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE must be the keyboard equivalent of having an Formula One car on your driveway. It’s the most magnificently over-engineered piece of typing hardware to ever grace my desk – and completely customising it from top to bottom made me feel like part of the pit crew. You’ll almost need to be on an F1 driver’s salary to afford all the parts. But with boutique ‘boards more popular than they’ve ever been, Glorious’ “have it the way you want” approach could make the investment well worth it for serious keyboard geeks. The stock experience You’re…

My living room hosts a not-so-expensive but good-enough sound system. Yet, every day, I usually reach for a small charging case containing my earbuds in my pocket instead. Sure, there are some trade-offs, but I have some good reasons for doing so. 5 My Neighbors Already Hate Me (and I Don’t Need to Make It Worse) Jack Mitchell/MakeUseOf My work schedule is wired such that my prime listening hours usually start when others are winding down. My upstairs neighbor works early shifts, while the couple next door has a newborn. My perfect moment for cranking up the volume of my…

Accessing geo-restricted content can be frustrating, especially when traveling or trying to watch region-locked media. While VPNs are the most popular solution, I prefer using Smart DNS Proxy as a simpler and more efficient way of accessing locally unavailable content. Why I Prefer Using Smart DNS Proxy Over a VPN Ground Picture/Shutterstock Smart DNS Proxy is a simpler and more efficient solution because it only redirects DNS queries instead of routing all traffic through an encrypted tunnel. This allows me to watch high-quality videos online without buffering, as my traffic doesn’t have to go through the extra steps of encryption.…
