Quick Links Setting Up Profiles and Libraries (Including Parental Controls and PINs) Set It and Forget It (Mostly) Summary Setting up profiles and libraries is crucial for smooth Plex operation. Organizing media folders helps in categorizing content for easy management. Simplifying setup reduces support requests and ensures a smoother user experience. Plex is a great way to let a household share media across a multitude of devices. However, for the resident tech expert (me), this can quickly turn into a barrage of support requests, which I set up Plex to run smoothly without constant intervention.

Black Mirror is a show about current and future technology, and the potential dark sides of that technology. One episode in its latest season (Season 7) has inspired Netflix to create a mobile game directly referenced in an episode called Plaything. And I can heartily recommend watching the episode AND playing the game. Thronglets Is Not Only Real, But Unsettling If you have already seen the Black Mirror episode titled Plaything, then you’ll know the backstory of Thronglets. Which is that it’s a game that was abandoned halfway through development by Tuckersoft, the same fictional games studio previously seen in…
The biggest shows coming to HBO, Disney+, Netflix and more There’s no shortage of TV networks and streaming services competing for your hard-earned cash. And as a result there are plenty of upcoming TV shows to gorge on over the coming months. Last year us square-eyed TV viewers were treated to some truly great series, from the epic historical drama of Shogun to the retro-futuristic, ultra-violence hijinks of Fallout. Not to mention the soaring heroism of Masters of the Air and Larry David’s last grouchy outing as himself in the final season of long-running comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm. But we’re…
I’ll admit, I’ve been pretty sceptical of the whole slim phone hype we’re going through. Are they impressive? Sure. But I didn’t get the main pull. Who’s out here struggling with the iPhone 16’s 7.8mm frame – or any other top smartphone for that matter? But then Infinix sent me the Hot 50 Pro+. And I think I finally get the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge hype after living with this slim phone. At 6.8mm, it’s not as slim as the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge or Tecno Spark Slim. Both are rumoured to come in at around 5.8mm, which is frankly…
Netflix may be packed with content today, but it’s lost some magic along the way. These five features once made streaming on Netflix savvier, more social, and plain better—and I seriously want them back. 5 Interactive Shows One of Netflix’s most innovative features for watching was interactive shows. Unfortunately, Netflix has delisted all but four interactive shows on the platform, according to Kotaku, and who knows how long the remaining titles will stay up. Unlike typical movies and TV shows with a fixed storyline, interactive shows allow you, the viewer, to make choices that affect the storyline, making it engaging.…
For a while, everyone was turning their selfies into soft-lit, big-eyed anime protagonists—until the novelty wore off and the internet collectively moved on. Don’t get me wrong, the Ghibli look is beautiful, but it’s also everywhere now. If you’ve had your fill, give these prompts a try. 7 South Park You know it, you love it (or maybe you don’t): South Park’s signature look is crude by design. Characters are 2D paper dolls with jittery animation and zero respect for anatomical accuracy. The show’s visual simplicity is the whole point: it’s satire in construction paper. ChatGPT has been stricter with…
It is easy to assume that your smart TV warranty is a safety net, ready to catch you if something goes wrong. But that’s often not the case. However, you might end up voiding your smart TV warranty without even realizing it—even if you’re doing something that feels totally routine. Moving Your TV the Wrong Way Butus / Shutterstock Smart TVs are generally delicate, and the screen can easily crack while moving. Standard warranties only cover manufacturing defects, such as if a part fails due to poor craftsmanship. However, they exclude damage from accidents or misuse, including scratches, dings, chips,…
Since speculation over what form Spotify’s forthcoming Hi-Fi tier would take began, a rumor has circulated that ads would be added to the standard Premium tier. With ad-free listening then becoming a perk of the Hi-Fi tier. But Spotify has now addressed that rumor… Is Spotify Adding Ads to Its Premium Tier? If you have heard the rumor that Spotify is planning to add adverts to its Premium tier, don’t worry, as it’s not true. That is according to Spotify, which has denied the rumor in a carefully-worded post on X. The post explicitly says that “Premium music listening is…
