Still buying and binning plastic bottles every day? It adds up fast, and it’s not doing the planet any favours. If you’re ready to cut back on single-use plastic, switching to one of the best reusable water bottles is a genuinely easy place to start. Of course, true zero-waste living means hiking into the hills and drinking straight from a spring. Fresh, free and about as sustainable as it gets – though not exactly practical before a 9am meeting. For the rest of us, the simplest fix is swapping disposable bottles for a decent reusable bottle you can refill at…

If you’re an Apple fan after one of the best smart home cameras or video doorbells, I have some (potentially) good news for you. Numerous reports and online whispers have suggested that Apple is developing its own smart home camera as part of a much broader push into connected home devices – like the long-rumoured HomePod Mini 2 and even more mysterious Home Hub. Of course, Apple hasn’t confirmed that any such products exist, and many details remain uncertain –the main image above is the rear camera setup of an iPhone 16e, for example. But that’s all part of the…

In modern households, TVs are shared, and no living room setup is the same. Spaces, TV locations, viewing angles, preferences, and schedules vary, so there’s really no one-size-fits-all approach. This is why you want a TV that adapts, changing with fluctuating lighting conditions and scenarios — and Hisense has the solution in the U6SF. The Hisense U6SF fits into any home to meet everyone’s needs, whether they’re a dedicated sports fan, a console gamer, into family movie nights, a daytime marathoner, or a fan of smart features.

I used to think I’d never join “nothing gets between me and my morning coffee” brigade, but getting older and becoming a dad quickly changed my mind. Now even roasting summer heatwave temperatures haven’t been enough to stop me reaching for a morning cup – or rather they haven’t with the KitchenAid KF4 on brewing duties. KitchenAid’s newest fully automatic bean-to-cup coffee machine isn’t just a brilliantly simple way to make hot coffee. It also offers iced options for staying cool when the mercury rises. After living with one for a few weeks, I’ve fallen for its one-and-done approach, even…

As we move into July 2026 and another UK heatwave, we’re faced with two clear choices: go out and attempt to enjoy the sunshine, or bunker down, draw the curtains, crank up the AC (if you’re lucky and/or rich enough to have it), turn on the TV and watch something amazing on your favourite streaming service. Look, we don’t make the rules. That’s just how it is. Luckily, for those of us that eschew flip-flops and bucket hats and pick the second option, there are lots of things vying to be the best new TV shows and films coming to…

Mercedes-Benz has spoiled me with some fantastic electric cars lately. First I had the glorious CLA shooting brake on test; then came this, the GLB 250+ Electric AMG Line Premium Plus. For anyone needing a loftier, SUV-flavoured set of wheels, I could instantly see how it would fit the bill – especially with all the AMG accoutrements. Delicious diamond cut alloy wheels, smart LED ambient lighting and a bone-shaking Burmester audio system go a long way. As a full-on seven seater, the GLB is ideally suited to big families. All three rows have oodles of space. Its load-carrying credentials are…

VLC has been around for over two decades, and yet most people still use it the way they did on day one. Its humble interface may not give you many clues, but VLC is quite capable. And no, I’m not talking about features, like screen recording, video streaming, format converter, or skins. You probably know about these already. I’m talking about VLC add-ons. Unlike other hidden VLC features, these can actually change how you consume media for good.

One of the most exciting additions to Apple’s iPhone lineup over the last couple of years has been Camera Control. This feature, in the form of a dedicated camera button on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 series, merges Apple’s hardware design with advanced software capabilities to make getting the perfect shot that little bit easier. Here’s everything you need to know about Camera Control: What is Camera Control? On the surface, Camera Control is a dedicated camera button, but dig a little deeper and you’ll soon realise there’s a lot more going on that makes Camera Control a genuinely…

The Odyssey is the latest film from The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan, and it’s gearing up to be one of the biggest movies of the year. It’s an adaptation of Homer’s epic poem about the Greek king Odysseus (Matt Damon) making his way home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. As you might expect for a story that’s over two thousand years old, The Odyssey has been adapted for the screen many times over the years. But sometimes, the adaptation is so subtle you may not have even realized it was an adaptation. Related 9 reboots of classic movies…
