There is still this weird stigma against animation when it comes to certain viewer demographics that it’s only a medium for children. And while you could make the argument that a lot of animated films released in theaters are definitely targeted toward kids, it’s not an inherent thing. Directors like Guillermo del Toro have pushed back against this narrative—at least when it comes to films—with his dark take on Pinocchio. He’s also helming the non-animated Frankenstein, one of the sci-fi movies in 2025 you can’t afford to miss. Television, on the other hand, has already gotten the memo that animation…

If you’re looking for the best dump phone for kids (or, if you prefer, the best phones for kids), then you’re making a sensible decision. Because in a world where the best smartphones reign supreme, there’s something refreshingly straightforward about pared-down devices that offer just the right amount of connectivity, without the distractions and potential pitfalls of their smarter cousins. That’s why we’ve combed through the various available options to bring you a short, simple selection of the best dumb phones for kids. We’ve picked ones that are perfect for keeping your little ones (or not-so-little ones) connected, without breaking…

My smart TV felt somewhat limited right out of the box, but after installing Kodi, the open-source media center, my TV has become the perfect, personalized, flexible entertainment hub. Kodi lets you stream, organize, and access just about any type of content imaginable via a library of add-ons or dedicated apps that significantly expand your TV’s capabilities.If you own an Android TV, you can download Kodi for free from the Google Play Store. Alternatively, you can do as I did and install it on an external streaming device, such as an Amazon Fire TV Stick. I was amazed at the…

I’m still in the early days of my adventures with Roku, as I’ve only recently started properly utilizing my smart television in the ways it was designed for. I’ve mentioned this, but I’ve been using my Xbox Series X for most of my streaming and all-purpose tech needs, which has meant mostly ignoring Roku. But I recently realized the error of my ways, thanks to discovering just how many apps and features Roku has that a console just can’t match up to. From underrated Roku applications that deserve far more love to features like a consolidated all-in-one watchlist that I…

Forget films: no medium shows how broad the horror genre can be as well as games do. While you’ll naturally think of having to fend yourself against or otherwise bolting it from all kinds of frightening monstrosities, horror can also be atmospheric and psychological. It can take on different formats, where text can be just as chilling as a cinematic. Believe it or not, it can also be a strange source of comfort when the real world itself is full of horrors. So this Halloween, whether you want to turn all the lights off and be immersed in pure fear…

Everything is getting more expensive nowadays, from your supermarket shop to mobile and broadband prices, nothing is safe from inflation. Not even your trusty video doorbell subscription. Let’s be honest, the fact that some smart speakers and smart doorbells require a monthly subscription is a crazy concept in itself – imagine trying to explain that to yourself ten years ago. And, it’s not just Ring, from Google and Arlo, most of the models in our best video doorbells guide require a monthly fee to unlock all of the features. If you’ve had enough of monthly fees and price increases, we’ve…

I didn’t have a lot of friends growing up, but that was mainly due to my own nature as an introverted person. Instead, I found a lot of joy in watching fictional friendships play out on screen, because there was just something soothing about watching two or more actors with a lot of natural chemistry just feed off of each other’s energy on screen. As sad as that might sound, worry not: I have more than enough close friends in my adult life to keep me plenty company. Yet that love for fictional friendships has never gone away, because it’s…

At first, all of this AI stuff felt exciting. I was curious to try everything (I was actually one of the few naive people who thought the Rabbit R1 was a good product before it eventually launched), and for a while, it felt useful. But over time, I realized AI isn’t just affecting smartphones; it’s creeping into all consumer tech, often making products worse instead of better. What started as something promising has become a constant stream of gimmicks and distractions I didn’t ask for. AI features are making products worse, not better Good products replaced with trendy gimmicks Somewhere…

I spent years building my Steam library. I must admit that I’ve slowed down considerably in recent years. My backlog finally made me realize buying more games was pointless, and I invariably end up playing Quake or OpenTTD anyway. That slowdown got me thinking. I’ve been using Steam for the best part of two decades at this point, and while I wasn’t necessarily a prolific purchaser of the newest games (hardware limitations, as you, I’m sure you’ll understand), my account must be worth a fair whack of cash at this point. But here’s the thing: your multiple-decade-old Steam account is…
