Time to cancel Netflix?

Compound these pratfalls and shortcomings with another poorly timed price hike — it’s now over fifteen quid for the top tier membership — instated just as we’re starting to feel the fiscal bite of the cost of living crisis, and suddenly, murmurs of Netflix cancellation are getting louder.

Do you use Apple TV+?

Tom Hanks’ “Greyhound” and Billie Eilish’s documentary were well received, and when Apple debuted the first season of “Ted Lasso,” things started changing for the service.

Tobias Zachary Ziegler

Sometimes it is hard to boil down the essence of what makes a character indelible. At other times though the depth of a character is clear. From his very first scene in the pilot all the way through to his last scene in the penultimate episode (“Institutional Memory”), Tobias Zachary Ziegler is irascible, uncompromising, and […]

The Objet TV

What makes Objet different is the fact that it is covered with fabric.

Apple TV 4K vs Fire TV Stick 4K Ultra HD

My Apple TV is old and a pain to use these days; the software is noticeably slow compared to any other device I use, starting a streaming seems to take forever and the remote is completely unintuitive (and gets lost far too easily). I cannot blame the product itself due to the age, but when […]

Samsung — The Frame: it’s in the detail

Because it looks like a real frame, The Frame enhances its surroundings, wherever it is. Its big screen offers a grand display for art, making it a striking sight—on or off. The Frame has always intrigued me, but it wasn’t until I saw the video above that I realise just how much thought had gone […]
