There’s been a wave of new “AI-powered” browsers lately, and I’ve tried pretty much all of them. Most of them promise a smarter, faster, more automated browsing experience, and end up feeling like the same browser with a chatbot glued on top. I genuinely thought OpenAI would be the one doing something different. So when the new ChatGPT Atlas browser launched, I gave it a full week as my daily browser. But just like Dia, Comet, and the rest, it left me disappointed. After seven days of trying to make it work, I ended up uninstalling it. And my search…
We live in the age of remakes, sequels, and franchises. That’s just the way it is, and the way it will be until that no longer bears financial fruit for studios and producers. Yet when it comes to remakes, why do all the good movies get the treatment? Sure, they’re proven commodities and thus less of a risk, but it feels like such a waste. Remakes of already great movies rarely turn out well, and they hardly ever actually end up turning a profit. Which is why I have always believed that Hollywood needs to turn its focus to bad…
I have recently been getting back to basics when it comes to home entertainment, by ditching streaming subscriptions that I rarely watch and switching to live TV and my fairly extensive media library for movies. To this end, Kodi has been my go-to media hub, as it offers a powerful, customizable streaming experience that works seamlessly with Android TVs, Fire TV Sticks, and computers. However, while its default interface does the job, it can best be described as “functional” and lacks a premium aesthetic. This is where Aeon Nox: SiLVO comes into play. This versatile Kodi “skin” is one of…
When I bought a flat-panel TV for my new apartment, I threw in a soundbar and subwoofer as a matter of course. It made sense to have better amplification, a broad soundstage, and a sleek, wireless solution with a tidy footprint for my audio devices. What was not to like? That was until I found myself in my office watching Foundation on Apple TV. In there were my powered monitor speakers, which project sound across a broad frequency spectrum, with every syllable, sound effect, and orchestral swell reproduced with crisp, precise accuracy. It suddenly became clear that the soundbar wasn’t…
Every day in 2025, millions of shoppers scroll past businesses with empty review sections, silently questioning their credibility. Yet the fix lies not in begging, but in understanding the human mind. BrightLocal’s 2025 Local Consumer Review Survey reveals that 68 per cent of customers will leave a Google review when asked personally, while Trustmary’s meta-analysis shows compliance soaring to 72 per cent when the request feels effortless. These figures expose a psychological truth: people crave reciprocity, consistency, and ease. Master these three forces—drawn from decades of research by Robert Cialdini and others—and a 30-second ask becomes a five-star pipeline. The…
When the first season of Altered Carbon dropped on Netflix back in 2018, it quickly became one of my favorite cyberpunk offerings out there, especially for a television series. You just do not get a lot of options for cyberpunk television shows, despite the genre’s popularity in mediums like video games and literature. Still, the first season of Altered Carbon is a great watch, with a fun noir vibe, an intriguing mystery at its center, and all the morally questionable tech you could ask for. The second season isn’t nearly as good, but I still found some joy in it.…
Nowadays, Black Friday and the days that come after it have become the biggest shopping event of the year, with many discounted prices on some of the hottest tech and gadgets.

Welcome to Derry is the latest prequel offering that hopes to expand on a popular intellectual property. Based on the popular IT movies, which are themselves based on the popular book by renowned horror author Stephen King, Welcome to Derry hopes to fill in some gaps in the lore of the fictional town of Derry, as well as the eponymous clown monster from IT. Thus far, Welcome to Derry has been well-received by both critics and fans alike, and I’ll be honest: I do like the show. It’s scary, moody, and filled with top-notch performances. Everything you’d want out of…

Before we dive into our hand-picked list of the best wireless speakers to buy (which is, presumably, why you’re on this page), it’s worth quickly defining what we mean by a wireless speaker. In this feature, we’re specifically focusing on speakers that are capable of streaming music directly over Wi-Fi from popular services, like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, and more. It’s worth noting that some also have built-in Bluetooth for direct music streaming from your phone, but the core streaming service element remains standard across all of our picks. Some speakers will also have extras like smart…
