People have relied on passwords to safeguard their digital data for many years. Unfortunately, hackers have discovered ways to bypass them, either through brute force, employing deceitful schemes, or due to individuals opting for easily guessable passwords on their premium or mid-range phone or elsewhere. VPNs can offer an extra layer of security between you and the perils of the internet, but it’s always good to have a few additional back ups. Thankfully, an improved and dependable method of logging into apps and websites has emerged. Best of all, this one is more secure and convenient than passwords. Most web…

Ten years ago, Apple Watch blinked into existence. Initially envisioned in part as a luxury bauble for the rich, it quickly focused on being a passive-aggressive fitness aid. Turns out, not everyone wanted to spend ten grand on a smart watch that couldn’t get through a day without being charged. Since then, things have improved. Battery life is better. Apple Watch is more powerful. Which probably explains why Apple’s reportedly shipped over a quarter billion of the things. If you’d given 2015 sceptical me those numbers, I’d have been shocked. Here are 10 other ways in which Apple’s wearable has surprised me over the years.…
You could hardly open an app or website during December without it eagerly foisting upon you a ‘year in review’. First, Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music Replay teamed up to suggest I’d turned into my dad by not listening to enough new music. Then Duolingo tried to convince me I’m a polyglot, because it cares more about buttering people up than teaching them how to speak another language. Next, social network Mastodon asked to build my ‘Wrapstodon 2025’, proclaiming me an Oracle. (Which I took to mean “mouthy person who talks a lot but doesn’t post enough replies”, only it…
Looking for the best camera drone? You’re in the right place. Drones have utterly transformed how we capture the world around us. What once required a helicopter hire or an impossibly long selfie stick is now achievable with a gadget that fits in your rucksack – or even your pocket. These flying cameras have democratised aerial photography, enabling everyone from weekend adventurers to serious content creators to shoot cinematic footage from perspectives that were impossible just a decade ago. Today’s drones are hugely capable machines. The best models shoot 4K or better video at super smooth frame rates, capture hyper-detailed…
Three years on from our last visit to Hawkins, Indiana, it’s time to return for a final time. Stranger Things Season 5 is being streamed on Netflix over the holidays – but as always it’s not quite that simple. There are eight episodes in total but they’re being shown in three blocks – one already available (which went live over Thanksgiving), another on Boxing Day and the finale for New Year 2026. The first four episodes of the new season are now available. Expect a lot of answers, big reveals and some finality. Netflix’s synopsis of the season is as…
I’m always trying to save time and use my phone more efficiently. Did you know that over the years, Apple has quietly added features to the iPhone to allow you to launch apps and features from a screen-off state without even turning on the phone? For example, if you set it up properly, you can assign a double-press to the Camera Control button to instantly launch the camera from any screen; you can even use this from your pocket just by feeling for it. This is really important because often you need to open the camera rapidly, not to miss…
My current TV is a TCL C728, which has a 55-inch QLED panel. I bought it back in 2020 or thereabouts (can’t remember the exact year), and I’ve been using it to watch content and play video games. When I got this TV, it was perfect because, as you can imagine, upgrading to a 4K 55-inch TV from a 32-inch model made an instant difference to my watching experience. My old TV was a Samsung with 1080p resolution (aka FHD), and while I could watch content online, the picture quality wasn’t the best. The TCL runs on Google TV, too,…
We are living (or maybe just lived) through the age of the great fantasy book TV adaptation. It all started with Game of Thrones, based on George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire books. That franchise is still going pretty strong, with another new show on the way. But there was also The Witcher, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and The Wheel of Time (a show I’m still upset got canceled). It’s been high time for fantasy fans over the past decade. But somehow, one of the most popular modern fantasy authors has yet…
If you’re a fan of anime, you already know about Ghost in the Shell, the classic 1995 movie about an elite group of police officers and military veterans who investigate terrorism and cybercrime in the near future, when technology has advanced to the point where the lines between man and machine have started to blur. In this world, in the far-off year of 2029, a lot of people have augmented their bodies with cybernetic enhancements or even opted for fully synthetic bodies. In that context, a “cybercrime” can involve hacking someone’s central nervous system from afar, or hacking their cybernetic…
