That there’s an abundance of high-quality is both a reward and a punishment, as it’s tough to find the right program to watch amid a sea of content. And that’s just British television! From the BBC to Channel 4 to ITV, British television is in its second Golden Age, and BritBox has most of the good stuff. The streamer has hundreds of comedies, dramas, period pieces, soap operas, morning chat programs, and reality series at its disposal, and the following 10 shows are the best it has to offer in 2025. The Inheritance – 2023 Why is a reading of…

The star, however, was the Deebot X8 Pro Omni — a powerful robot vacuum that makes big changes to its mopping abilities thanks to a new collaboration with Tineco. Though it didn’t pick up a robotic arm like the Roborock Saros Z70, the Deebot X8 Pro Omni did learn some cool new mopping techniques. There are two big upgrades here, the first being additional pressure while mopping. The X8 Pro Omni can create up to 4,000Pa pressure and spin at up to 200 rpm, which should result in better cleaning than anything else we’ve seen from Ecovacs so far. The…
American Primeval is a sprawling, epic TV series, one that feels both deeply indebted to the Westerns of old and a purposeful rebuke of them. Present still are the genre’s John Ford-esque cloudless skies, which stretch endlessly just like the series’ plains and mountain ranges, but gone are their technicolor vibrance. The latter trait has been replaced by American Primeval director Peter Berg with a greatly desaturated color palette that frequently drains the Western of practically any identifiable colors outside of black and gray, and which is designed to reflect the brutality and darkness of The Revenant writer Mark L.…
Ubisoft just delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows for a second time. While it was supposed to come out on February 14, the Japan-set action-adventure game will now be released on March 20. Fully unveiled last May, the last six months of Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ development have been rocky. After Star Wars Outlaws had a buggy launch and flopped, Ubisoft delayed Shadows from November 2024 to February 2025. At the time, Ubisoft explained that this delay would allow the developers to “polish and refine the experience.” Statements from a strategic update and X post released by Ubisoft today share similar sentiments. As part…

When it comes to smart home technology, smart locks are some of the most convenient gadgets you can buy. They’ll automatically unlock your door as you approach, making it a lot easier to get inside when your arms are full of groceries (only one trip, right?). On the other hand, they can sometimes unlock when you don’t want them to — like when you’re looking out the window beside the door. The Schlage Sense Pro made its debut at CES 2025, and it practically reads your mind. OK, it can’t actually read your mind, but it’s a bit mind-blowing what…
That question loomed as I saw this PS Plus news in the wake of deep discounts for Suicide Squad during the Steam Winter Sale, just as Rocksteady confirmed that its updates would end in January. At this point, Rocksteady’s latest is infamous for being a live service flop: a game that Warner Bros. hoped would be a moneymaker for years to come but instead was dead on arrival. Getting back into Suicide Squad a year later is a conflicting experience. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is in the hands of more people than ever this week because it’s one…
AMD’s upcoming RX 9070 XT is still largely a mystery, but it won’t be long before it’s out there, competing against some of the best graphics cards. Many are wondering about how much it’ll cost, and a reliable leaker just shared the rumored pricing of the RX 9070 XT. Reportedly, it’s going to be cheaper than Nvidia’s RTX 5070. The information comes from Zhangzhonghao on the Chiphell forums. This leaker has previously shared claims that turned out to be true, but still, it’s important to take this with a healthy dose of skepticism, as it’s not being presented as a…
