There are many ways you can officially mark the beginning of the festive season. For some it’s putting up the Christmas tree while for others it’s the first glass of mulled wine. For me, it’s when I’ve watched my first Christmas film. However, with countless streaming services to sift through, it’s never been harder to track down your favourite Christmas film. Yes, you can search for a certain movie, but then you’re more often than not directed to a new streaming platform that requires you to sign up to yet another costly service. To help you prepare and spread a…
Android is full of hidden features and settings that most people never touch, and some of them can change the way you use your phone. One such setting that completely blew me away was forcing my phone into a tablet-style UI. When I first tried it, I thought it’d be gimmicky at best. But that wasn’t the case. This mode made menus wider, apps feel roomier, and multitasking a breeze. I could see more content at once and move around apps more naturally. And with modern Android phone screens now being bigger than ever before, this smaller, denser UI makes…

Google might be about to undo one of its most debated Android interface changes, almost four years after it first showed up. When Google launched Android 12 in 2021, it killed the separate one-tap Wi-Fi and mobile data toggles we all knew. In their place came a single, combined “Internet” tile. The logic was that it would simplify connection management and stop people from accidentally eating through their data caps by forgetting to turn Wi-Fi back on. It sounded fine on paper, but in reality, it turned a quick action into a multi-tap chore, which frustrated a lot of users.…
Just at work, I easily type several thousand words a day. That’s not even considering the countless texts, comments, or searches I make on my phone. The fact of the matter is that my fingers are glued to keyboards just as much as my eyes are to the screens attached to them. If you’re an editor like I am or even just send more than a few emails a day, you need to use keyboard shortcuts. They’re special key combinations that can not only optimize your workflow, but also speed up processes like you’ve never even seen. Apple and Windows…

With 10 days remaining of the year 2025, we have the very familiar sight of Samsung Galaxy A56 topping our trending chart. Behind it, however, is a fresh new face in the newly announced OnePlus 15R. The Galaxy S25 Ultra rose two spots to complete the penultimate podium of the year. That means the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max finds itself in fourth this time around, while the OnePlus 15 retained its fifth position. The Galaxy A17 is also where we left it last week – sixth place, while behind it we see the Poco F8 Ultra, which lost a…
For several weeks, my laptop used to sound like it was getting ready for a takeoff. The fans would make noise even when I was doing simple tasks like drafting an article or browsing the internet. Even worse, my laptop would get uncomfortably warm, so that I didn’t want to hold it or even use it. I tried all the basics, like updating drivers, checking for dust buildup, limiting background processes, and improving physical airflow. Some of them helped a little, but I was still stuck with a noisy, overheating laptop. After checking the usual, a simple Windows power setting…
