But is this convenience superseding your online privacy? You’re definitely not the only one accessing the network and, chances are, someone isn’t there just for fun. The intruder might interpose himself between you and the hotspot, trying to intercept all unencrypted info you send or receive – your email account password, your banking login information or your instant messages with friends. And it’s really not that hard. Unfortunately, some networks still use flawed and deprecated security protocols such as WEP or WPA that can be easily cracked....

Instead, Discovery+ will be merged with HBO Max… eventually. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels has confirmed in an investor meeting that they will be offered first as a bundle while the company figures out a strategy for merging the two platforms, according to Variety. Wiedenfels expanded on this, giving a rough time frame as to when we can expect to see HBO Max and Discovery+ join forces: “in order to…do it in a way that’s actually a great user experience for our subscribers, that’s going to take some time....

In the meantime, details of the Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom were leaked, leaving very little for the official launch in terms of new information. Mavic 2: Pro or Zoom? So, this is the long-awaited update to the Mavic Pro, but you have a choice of two different models. Check out our in-depth review of the Mavic 2 Zoom. Their main difference is the camera and the features on offer: The Pro model has a 1in sensor (like the Phantom 4 Pro) and had been developed in conjunction with renowned camera maker Hasselblad....

In a year that’s already seen Black Panther, Deadpool 2 and Avengers: Infinity War, with Ant-Man and the Wasp, Aquaman, and Venom all still on the way, the return of Pixar’s favourite family is still one of the year’s blockbuster highlights. Much like the first film, the new sequel tackles a lot of the biggest comic book tropes, but for fans heading to the cinema there’s one they really want to know about: does Incredibles 2 ape Marvel’s finest and throw in a secret scene after the credits?...

The Eve range is HomeKit-enabled and fully compatible with the Home app for iOS 11 and Apple’s HomePod, providing a range of accessories – from window sensors to smart plugs – that can be used via Siri on your smartphone.

Eve Accessory Setup So, how simple are Elgato’s Eve accessories to set up?...

Epson came up with a completely new approach a couple of years ago when it introduced its first EcoTank printers. The initial purchase price of an EcoTank printers is relatively high, but they come up trumps in the long term thanks to their much lower running costs. Instead of using expensive ink cartridges, the EcoTank printers have a large ink tank built into them, which can easily be filled using simple, low-cost bottles of ink....

The answer is a resounding “no”. Firstly, there’s the hardware design. While the HDMI dongle is all-but identical to the Google Chromecast, the supplied USB power cable comes with a separate Wi-Fi receiver attached to it. The makers clearly didn’t have the engineering expertise to squeeze it into the HDMI casing as Google did. It’s not a huge problem, but it’s another ugly cable dangling from your TV. Setup wasn’t quite the plug-and-play experience we enjoyed with the Chromecast – it took the Android app a few attempts to detect the EZCast hardware – and the pidgin English in the supplied manual (“Avoid dropping or conflicting”) meant that wasn’t much help, either....

That’s £379 off the usual price of the bundle: the keyboard isn’t normally included with the tablet so you’re not only saving money off the tablet itself, but you’re effectively getting a Type Cover thrown in for nothing. If you’re not too familiar with the Surface Pro, it’s one of the best Windows 10 tablets out there. With a keyboard, it turns into a proper laptop, and there’s a full-size USB port for connecting thumb drives or a mouse....

Slow cookers have a number of advantages in the kitchen. They’re low effort to cook with and economical to use. Cooking a dish in a slow cooker uses less power than using your oven for the same task.

DeepMind wants to find the holy grail of AI: an artificial general intelligence, a cognitive system as broad as a human brain and capable of completing a vast range of tasks and perhaps overcoming the greatest threats to civilisation. As DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis put it in an interview with the Guardian: “What we’re working on is potentially a meta-solution to any problem.” Hassabis cofounded DeepMind in 2010 alongside Shane Legg, a machine learning researcher from New Zealand, and childhood friend Mustafa Suleyman, who had dropped out of a degree in philosophy and theology at Oxford to set up a counselling service for young Muslims....

The answer apparently is to do the one thing Google said it never needed to do: throw in a second lens. That’s the first of several major hardware changes to the device, which also throws in radar-based motion controls, a whole new face unlock, a 90Hz display, and an upgraded on-device Google Assistant. All of which sounds great, and should be a recipe for a phenomenal flagship. But none of those five big changes is quite as good as it should be – and once you throw in the frankly abysmal battery performance the regular Pixel 4 becomes a very difficult phone to recommend anyone actually buy....

Google could be preparing its own entry into this emerging market however, with the Google Pixel Fold tipped to arrive next year, defying reports that it had been cancelled.

We found they offer a fairly balanced bass and treble range, making them ideal for daily commuters and casual listeners, though perhaps not the audiophiles who want to hear every minute detail (they can see our round up of more premium headphones). Hër headphones aren’t particularly cheap but are they worth the price? Price & Availability Hër headphones are available directly from the Hër website for £99/around US$111/€99,00 and will soon be available at Selfridges in the UK....
