At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The D-Link DIR-880L is an easy-to-configure wireless router with enough advanced features to also keep some power users happy. Its nearby wireless performance with 11ac was the best on test, and it also worked well at range, approaching one-third of 11ac’s rated three-stream speed in the 10 m test. The DIR-880L’s official price is £173 but at the £130 some shops are selling it, it earns a recommendation....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you don’t mind the basic design, the EE Rook isn’t a bad little phone at all. We can hardly argue with the price of £39 for existing customers and the performance is better than we expected for a sub-£50 phone. It’s mainly the miserable viewing angles of the screen which put us off so you are better off spending a little more if you can afford it....

Look, I know what you’re thinking. While we are all firmly seated for the Lindsey Lohan-aissance, Freaky Friday didn’t really need a sequel. And sure, that’s partly true, but above all, Freakier Friday is fun. As the title implies, it takes everything good about Freaky Friday and doesn’t just double it — but quadruples it. Some might call it derivative as a result, but in my opinion, Freakier Friday and perhaps the Freaky Friday-iverse as a whole can teach us a thing or two....

I don’t think so. Let Viola Davis front every action film. Prime Video is not short on action-thrillers. From My Fault: London to the Citadel series, an extensive slate of originals has landed, though they’ve received mixed reviews....
It’s been a year since Game of Thrones stumbled its way off our screens, and we’ve likely got at least another year to wait before HBO gets around to airing prequel series House of the Dragon (not to mention how long it’ll take George RR Martin to get round to that next book…) That’s why it might be a relief to hear that more Game of Thrones is here right now in Beyond the Wall, a free-to-play turn-based tactics game that has its own story to tell, with a little fan service along the way....
Just a few days before the anticipated reveal of the Apple Watch Ultra 3, Garmin has taken the limelight for itself by doing a surprise unveiling of the super-powerful Garmin Fenix 8 Pro. This is the first Garmin smartwatch to feature a MicroLED display, boasting a far brighter panel than what could previously be achieved with standard AMOLED technology.
