I live in a household split between the Apple and Google ecosystems, and that should make casting and screen mirroring difficult. The reality is much different, as AirPlay and Google Cast are robust and widely supported by streaming apps, streaming boxes, and TVs. Chances are, a streamer or TV you already have in your home supports AirPlay, Google Cast, or both. Android users can mirror their screen on a TV or display using only Google Cast. The feature is built right into the Android 16 operating system, and no third-party apps are required. Instead of paying for a USB-C to…
Smart homes are becoming more and more popular, as people outfit their houses with sensors and systems that give them more control over lighting, temperature, security, and more. Most of it is pretty innocent, like putting a sensor in your mailbox that lets you know when a new letter arrives. But what will smart homes look like in 10 years? How much will AI be integrated? Will we have robot assistants? And if they do, will those robot assistants become homicidal and try to take your family hostage? Okay, it’s unlikely many people are thinking about that last one, but…
The MacBook Pro has long been one of the best laptops money can buy, but that hasn’t stopped the tech world from salivating over rumours of an upcoming touchscreen OLED Apple MacBook Ultra. Based on leaks and rumours courtesy of reports from the likes of Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Omdia, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, and a growing number of supply-chain news, here’s everything we know about the Apple MacBook Ultra so far. Oh, and a quick disclaimer: all the images in this feature are of the current MacBook Pro, given that the MacBook Ultra doesn’t technically officially exist yet… MacBook Ultra: price…
I’m a fan of LED masks. I’ve been using them for two years and feel my skin has improved so much – I very rarely get spots and my complexion is better than it was. At 44 years old with no botox, fillers etc., I feel the therapy is doing a good job of combating pesky wrinkles and promoting collagen production (but I do also take supplements for this). I was converted via the excellent Therabody TheraFace Mask, which even faded a scar I had under my eye, in just a few weeks. I’ve mainly used the Shark CryoGlow Mask…
For too long, I treated all music players pretty much the same. Whether I was listening through Spotify, Apple Music, or another desktop app like VLC, the software seemed like a minor detail compared to the headphones, speakers, or music format. I prioritized usability and familiarity, but I didn’t pay enough attention to what was happening behind the scenes. All that changed when I started producing my own music, and it became essential to hear exactly what my music sounded like during the mixing and mastering process. While researching tools that audiophiles use, one name kept appearing in forums, reviews,…
The biggest shows on Netflix are so big that you can probably name at least a few of them even if you’ve never watched them: stuff like Stranger Things, Squid Game, and Bridgerton. But there are other series that fly more under the radar. That includes 3 Body Problem, which just happens to be the smartest sci-fi show on Netflix right now. Netflix ran the first, intriguing season of 3 Body Problem back in 2024, which means fans have been waiting a while to see more. Now the show is barreling towards an ending and it feels like no one…
Poor Siri. While ChatGPT, Gemini, and seemingly every AI startup on the planet have spent the last few years showing off increasingly impressive tricks, Apple’s voice assistant has largely remained the same iPhone and iPad tool many of us have been using for the better part of a decade. Sure, it could set timers, start playlists, send messages, and occasionally answer a question or two, but nobody was seriously putting Siri in the same conversation as modern AI assistants. That became a problem for Apple. And the answer, it turns out, wasn’t a mere feature patch. Instead, Apple has spent…
Artificial intelligence is here to stay. For most of us our smartphones will be the main way we interact with AI every day – but some brands have done a better job of adopting AI than others. If you’re after the best AI phone to buy in 2026, look no further. I’ve tested the leading AI smartphones from Google, Apple, Samsung and more, to find out which offers the most useful AI features. All incorporate machine learning and large language models in some form or another, but there are clear winners when it comes to live translation, voice transcription, AI…
If your average working day involves eight straight hours hunched over a laptop while slowly fusing into your office chair, congratulations: you’re officially living the 21st century dream. Unfortunately, your neck, shoulders, hips and lower back probably disagree. According to the very flexible Camryn Roberts, Pilates instructor at Pure Sports Medicine, sitting itself isn’t necessarily the villain. “Many of us spend eight or more hours a day sitting, but it’s not necessarily the position we’re sitting in that’s the problem — it’s how long we stay there,” she explains. “Regular movement throughout the day can help reduce stiffness, improve circulation…
What is the nature of evil? What is the true function of religion? Can demonic entities floss? These are some of the questions explored over the course of four seasons in Evil, which started out on CBS before jumping over to Paramount+. So far as streaming services go, Paramount+ isn’t talked about as much as heavy-hitters like Netflix and HBO Max, sometimes with good reason. But whatever its drawbacks, it has a lot of good content, and Evil is one of its shiniest hidden gems. Evil is The X-Files of the 2020s And that’s a good thing In the 1990s,…
