Some providers like BT and Virgin offer their own mesh network add-ons with select packages that work specifically with…

The horror genre tends to get oversaturated due to how cheap movies are to produce and how profitable they are. And a lot of terrifying films fall out of popular conversation quickly, but luckily, streaming services like Netflix are a great place for these films to be rediscovered. Based on Stephen King’s novella of the same name, 1922 is exactly the kind of horror you’d expect from the prolific author. A slow-burning tale of murder, guilt, and rat infestations, this film works due to its mood and the central performance by Thomas Jane. Like many Netflix originals, 1922 initially enjoyed…

Apple fans assemble! On 9 September, Apple’s annual iPhone ritual will find the company unleashing new smartphones upon the world. We’ll get the usual vanilla, Pro and Pro Max iPhone varieties. But Apple has lobbed the Plus into the trash, because not enough people bought one. Instead, unless every single Apple rumour site is about to have all the eggs, ever, on their collective faces, the shiny newcomer will be the iPhone 17 Air. All of which makes me wonder what ‘Air’ even means today. Once upon a time, it was Apple code for astonishingly thin and light. Remember when Steve Jobs famously…

Amazon Prime Video has had some amazing blockbuster hits, from The Boys to Reacher, and so on. But tucked away in its vast library are shows that critics adored and fans still rave about, yet never quite reached mainstream recognition—and these are the ones you need to watch now. 6 Undone (2019—2022) When I first watched Undone, I was immediately mesmerized by the animation style. It utilizes what’s known as rotoscope animation, which involves layering live-action performances over hand-drawn visuals. The series creates a dreamlike atmosphere where reality and imagination constantly collide. The story follows Alma (Rosa Salazar), a woman…

Alien: Earth expertly recaptures the horror that the franchise is known for, but it also reminded me that paranoia is so inherent in so much fiction. Luckily, there are so many other wonderful shows and movies that remind you that a little paranoia and distrust are healthy things. 6 The X-Files Watch The X-Files on Hulu The ultimate series about paranoia and a healthy distrust of those in power, The X-Files captured the nation’s imagination and fear during its run. Focused on everything from government conspiracies to controlling the population to secret plans for an alien invasion, this show truly…

But with Dexter being resurrected, maybe the third time’s the charm. The rise and fall of the original Dexter series Watch Dexter on Paramount Plus In 2006, Showtime aired Dexter, where the titular character (played by Michael C. Hall) works for the Miami Metro Police Department as a blood spatter analyst by day. But when nighttime comes around, he is a serial killer the media later dubs “The Bay Harbor…

Your smart TV’s USB port isn’t the universal charger it pretends to be. Misuse it, and you may end up with corrupted drives, fried gadgets, or a TV that refuses to power on altogether. 8 Old gaming consoles without power regulation Older gaming consoles were never designed to pull power from a modern TV’s USB port. Many of them draw current unevenly or more than the port can safely provide. When that happens, the console may fail to start, or worse, the strain can damage the TV’s internal components. Evan-Amos/Wikimedia Unlike a dedicated power adapter, the TV’s USB connection has…

Using Google TV isn’t too difficult, but some of its default settings can be slightly annoying. Autoplaying previews, crowded home screens, and slow startups can disrupt your experience, but the good news is that it only takes a few minutes to fix these issues. 8 Mute system sounds One of the first things you’ll notice about Google TV is that it makes a sound almost every time you press a button on your remote. Scrolling through apps, navigating through menus, or selecting something—all trigger a small chime. For those who love this kind of feedback, this may not be a…
