Times change, but Sony has been keeping happy those of us who prefer a smartphone to be small and usable with one hand; compact. The Sony Xperia X Compact is the latest of the company’s sub-5in handsets, but its sits in a confusing line up of devices. Alongside it are the Xperia XZ, Xperia X and Xperia XA. Those phones are, respectively, high-end, upper mid-range and lower mid-range. So where does the Xperia X Compact fit in?...
Also see: Best new phones. It seems Sony is back to s six-month cycle for some devices, with the Xperia XZ only on the market for a few short months since IFA 2016. Nevertheless, we have four new handsets from Sony mobile – some of which will have to compete with the LG G6 and Samsung Galaxy S8 for the best phone of 2017 title.

Since ditching its conventional naming system, the last being the Xperia Z5, Sony’s range needs a bit of explaining. The XZ is now the top tier but this new model is no replacement for the XZ Premium. Instead, the XZ1 is the 12-month refresh for the XZ so is slightly lower down in the pecking order. There’s also a new Xperia XZ1 Compact for those who want a smaller phone but with high-end specs....

Right now though, smartglasses are hard to come by. Google has stopped selling its £1,000 Explorer Edition for now, Toshiba’s smartglasses are very much a prototype and Sony’s are only designed for developers who are looking to create apps for future smartglasses. But there are some cheaper smartglasses available to buy, including the Spardar Smart Glasses, which are currently available for just £40 from GearBest (also see: Grey market tech buying advice)....
Where some other services only offer a super-low monthly price on their longest plans, which tie you in for as much as five years, this deal is for Sufshark’s 2-year plan. It gives you three free months, which effectively brings the price down to just £1.41 per month, and you’ll pay just £38.16 for the 27 months, down from the original £227.76 that you’d normally pay for 24 months. It is slightly cheeky of Surfshark to quote the £1....
Wonder Woman 1984 DC movies have struggled a bit of late, especially when compared to the all-conquering output from Marvel Studios, but the one shining light was the excellent Wonder Woman movie released in 2017. Now, Gal Gadot returns to the titular role, as the story leaves behind WW1 and goes into the neon drenched lands of 1984. Chris Pine is literally resurrected to play Steve Trevor (although from the trailer we’re not exactly sure how) and together they face mysterious high-power businessman Maxwell Lord....
Fue el año pasado cuando el Reino Unido anunciaba que se proponía reducir las emisiones de carbono un 78 % para 2035, en comparación con los niveles de 1990. Este compromiso demostraba la importancia de cambiar formas de producción para lograr ese futuro más verde que tanto necesitamos. Y, aunque el cambio más grande debe de venir por parte del sistema, del poder y, sobre todo, de las formas de producción, puede que también se pueda plantar algún que otro granito de arena desde abajo....

It all you want to do is unblock a website, a free VPN is great. But you’ll quickly find that if you’re not paying, you don’t necessarily get to choose which server to use. And that means you can’t always pretend to be in the specific country or region where that blocked content is available. Speed may be limited as well, but the biggest restriction tends to be the amount of data a free VPN service will let you pass through its servers....

The attack was discovered by HP’s Threat Research Blog, which highlights one particularly potent example. As the image above shows, the fake site windows-upgraded.com does a very convincing job of imitating the Microsoft website. To most people, this is indistinguishable from the real thing. But installing it will allow the malware ‘RedLine Stealer’ to wreak havoc on your device, stealing crucial personal information that can then be used against you....
That’s because an early build of Windows 11 leaked ahead of the official announcement, confirming its name and several key design features. If you needed any more evidence, the shadow cast by the Windows logo official teaser image above looks a lot like the number 11. The event also takes place at 11am ET, while a recent startup sound remix video lasts exactly 11 minutes. In a recent tweet, Windows Central’s Zac Bowden revealed that Microsoft is already internally testing a Windows 11 RTM – this is a version that’s sent out to companies to include on their devices....
