What’s great about Netflix is that it can figure out exactly what you want to watch. Based on your viewing patterns, it automatically recommends other shows you might like. But this isn’t always perfect. If the suggestions feel unsuitable, I take these three steps to reset my Netflix recommendations. Delete My Netflix Viewing History Among other factors, Netflix depends on your viewing history when recommending new titles. So, if you watch one action movie, you might see a bunch of similar movies or TV shows on your home page the next day. As such, sharing your Netflix profile with a…
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 reading list?…

Meta has finally pulled back the curtain on its latest mixed-reality headset. The Quest 3S is essentially a cut-down version of the current Meta Quest 3, aimed at those with a little less cash to splash on a standalone VR headset. The two have lots of similarities – but also some notable differences that are worth checking out before deciding which is right for you. While I’ve yet to try the Quest 3S, I’ve pored over each headset’s spec sheet and highlighted the biggest ways they sit apart from each other below. Price & availability The Meta Quest 3S goes…
Quick LinksTidal’s Interface Issues Hold It Back Since its creation, Tidal has been known for one thing (other than Jay-Z, that is)—its high fidelity audio streaming. However, if Tidal wants to continue to thrive while other streaming services introduce HiFi music streaming at a competitive price, its interface needs to become more user-friendly quickly. What I Love About Tidal Tidal’s sound quality is truly unbeatable, especially Tidal’s premium Max tier, which streams up to 24-bit audio. For years my portable listening method was an iPod filled with WAV files (a much larger but higher-quality audio file) from imported CDs. What…
After the rise of subscription services, people have been password-sharing to help save money for their friends and family. While some companies have seemingly been okay with the practice, others have been cracking down on sharing.

Welcome to our guide to the best music streaming services. 20 years ago, when CDs were medium number one and musicians could still make a living from selling their records, the idea of having almost every song ever recorded at your fingertips on your phone or through your high-end headphones seemed the stuff of science fiction. Even when Spotify launched out of the blue in 2008, few predicted the seismic shift in music consumption that would follow. Yet today’s best music streaming services make the idea of building an MP3 collection look positively Stone Age. Each platform hands users the…
Following Sony’s reveal of the PS5 Pro but with a lack of new releases to show it off, the latest edition of State of Play (24th September, 11pm BST) comes at a good time, while also occurring ahead of Tokyo Game Show later this week.
