Drones have many uses, but most people want one so they can take pictures and record video from the air to get a perspective you simply can’t get any other way. The drones here are easy to fly and are comparable in quality to the camera on your phone. Our advice is to go for one that weighs less than 250 grams. That’s because, in some countries – including the US – it means you can fly it without doing any training or paying any registration fees....
The 2015 iPhone 6 range might now seem like a relic compared against Apple’s newer handsets like the iPhone XS and iPhone 11 range, but that doesn’t mean you need to toss it away – even if the battery isn’t what it used to be. Most phone batteries are measured in milliampere hours (mAh). The higher, the more charge you should get from the extra battery enclosed within the case....
CES is still the biggest consumer tech show in the world. Held in Las Vegas each January, it’s the place to see the latest gadgets and concepts which may – or may not – ever go on sale. This year there were plenty of the expected TVs, but also the unexpected reveal of a new micro-LED transparent TV from Samsung. Health tech is booming, too, with Withings’ new BeamO giving us a glimpse of where things might go in future....

Hulu is one of the top streaming platforms in the US, but due to licensing restrictions it’s not available anywhere else. That’s a major limitation for anyone who lives elsewhere but wants to watch exclusive Hulu shows, and is also an annoyance for Americans who are travelling or living abroad and don’t want to lose access to their Hulu subscription. We have a whole guide on how to watch Hulu from outside the US , but the most important element – especially if you already have a Hulu account – is to use a VPN, which will let you access the Hulu website or app through a server based in the US, which will make Hulu itself think that’s where you are....
What is it all about? In 1998, Sun Microsystems lodged a formal complaint with the European Commission, the European Union’s competition regulator, alleging that Microsoft was using the near monopoly of its Windows operating system on the desktop-PC market to crowd out competitors in the workgroup-server software market. The Commission examined the evidence and launched a formal investigation in 2000. On its own initiative (that is, without a complaint from rivals) it also extended the investigation to cover the effects of the bundling of WMP (Windows Media Player) with Windows....

Apple has revealed its new iPhone 16 series phones, and there’s one new design feature that’s been getting plenty of attention. Expect Android phone makers to follow suit very soon. On the right side of all four models (iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max), just below the power button, you’ll find what’s known as a ‘Camera Control’ button. As you might expect, this can be used as a physical shutter button, but the Action Button on the other side could already be used for that....

Many Tech CEOs see themselves as revolutionaries – skilled at the kind of blue sky thinking necessary to imagine a better world. But many find themselves gracing gossip sites for different, entirely less noble reasons. In contrast to the pioneering but publicly sedate tech CEOs of yore – think Bill Gates – today’s crop of techpreneurs are a different breed. Growing up during the dot-com boom, and fed on a diet of tech evangelism and Soylent, some on this list soared to billionaire status before brushing their thirties....
Poco might not be the best-known phone brand in Europe, but you shouldn’t ignore the company’s two new handsets. In several ways, the Poco F6 and F6 Pro set a new standard for mid-range phones . At these price points, you’ll struggle to find devices that offer better performance, displays or charging speeds. They’re not the only strengths, either, as our full Poco F6 Pro review shows. Both phones use ex-parent company Xiaomi’s HyperOS Android skin, offering a very different Android 14 experience to the one you’ll find on Google or Samsung devices....
At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Sims 4 for PS4 and Xbox One is what it says on the tin – it’s the full The Sims 4 game for PC, on Console. While we had reservations as to whether EA would have to cut corners to make it playable on Consoles, all features from the PC variant are available (apart from most of the DLC). While it’s fun, it’s not without its flaws....
In 10 years’ time you won’t be using a smartphone – at least not in the way you do today. It’s difficult to think about major changes because we tend to believe that the way things are now is the way they will always be. It was once said that there was no way we’d ever have a telephone in every home because there weren’t enough young women in the country to man the switchboards....
Air fryers – useful though they are – take up a lot of kitchen counter space. And the most versatile models take up the most room, with dual-drawer air fryers and air fryer ovens the ultimate counter hog. If you can find a spot for one, an air fryer will be useful for all kinds of cooking jobs, from roasting to baking. But as most models tend to be black or grey, these big, featureless appliances can also make your kitchen look gloomy and cluttered....
