Scosche BoomBOTTLE: why? It’s the obvious question: why would you build and sell a portable speaker that looks like a drinks bottle? The literal answer has some merit: Scosche correctly identifies that cycling with music is fun, but cycling with headphones is dangerous. Thus by placing the Scosche BoomBOTTLE in your bike’s drinks holder you can enjoy banging tunes without cutting yourself off from the dangers of the road. It sort of makes sense although when we tried it on our own suburban street we found that in order to have the music loud enough to hear it we had to treat our neighbours to a selection of our favourite songs....

Many action cameras do this, but the SJ7 Star really is a 4K action cam, despite its low price. SJCAM SJ7 Star: Price Even so, that’s still a great price for an action cam that rivals GoPro’s Hero 4 Black which cost £409 when it originally launched. SJCAM SJ7 Star: Features & Design It would be unfair to lump the SJ7 Star in with all the GoPro clones because it’s several rungs of the ladder above the cheap action cams you often find....

But as with every Apple release, eyes are peeled for any sort of fault, and it seems that early adopters of the new MacBook have found one. Reports are emerging of the new 16in Pro making popping sounds from its speakers. As you can see in the below video, posted by ZenTek TV, the sound can be heard when pausing audio: The news was first picked up by AppleInsider, who in its article explained, “What happens is that when you’re playing any audio or video, when you stop it, skip to another part, or close the window, you get this sound....

It’s a shame that Sony hasn’t unveiled the Xperia Z4 smartphone considering we’ve now seen the HTC One M9 and Samsung Galaxy S6. However, Sony hasn’t left us short changed with the iPad Air 2 rivalling Xperia Z4 Tablet and a mid-range smartphone called the Xperia M4 Aqua. (Also see: Best new phones coming soon.) Just like there was no Xperia Z3 Tablet, there was no Xperia M3 so we’ve confusingly jumped from the Xperia M2 and Aqua version to the Xperia M4 Aqua....

Note that this comparison is based largely on specifications. You can learn more in-depth information about each phone in our Xperia Z5 review and Galaxy S6 review. Sony Xperia Z5 vs Samsung Galaxy S6: Price & UK availability It’s worth pointing out that you might find better value with the slightly slimmed down but also cheaper Sony Xperia Z5 Compact. To see how it differs from the standard Sony Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 premium read our comparison of the Xperia Z5 series....

Final pricing has not yet been announced, but it’s likely that you’ll pay around £450, £550 and £650 for Sony’s small, medium and large Z5s respectively....

Banks invest millions of pounds in making their online services secure, yet as customers we need to stay alert. This year has seen an explosion in online banking fraud, with damage to the tune of £29.3 million; a 71% rise on last year. If we don’t want to become victims we need to take care of our own security and avoid the snares laid down by cybercriminals and fraudsters. Some of that comes down to good security practices and common sense, but Internet security software can also play a vital role....

Our advice is to avoid the latter – it’s almost the same shade as a yellow highlighter, and we received some less-than-impressed glances from fellow commuters during testing. Thick bezels around the screen make the HD 7 bigger than other 7in tablets, but it doesn’t weigh a whole lot more than the HD 6 at 337g (versus 290g)....

The head of the NCSC, Ciaran Martin, has singled out Russia as the major threat to cybersecurity as it targeted UK media, energy sectors and telecommunications. State-sponsored attacks are a daily occurrence, and while the NSCS is doing its best, individual businesses and users need to do their part to keep themselves safe online. Take a look at our guide on how to help keep yourself secure when using the internet....

Did Samsung invent LPDDR5? No. The memory specifications are traditionally agreed by JEDEC (the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) which is an organisation with over 300 members. These include Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, Broadcom, IBM, Tesla, and Intel. The idea is to create open standards that can then be used between devices without the need for specialist ports, parts, or other proprietary methods that would prove obstructive to manufacturers or customers. The LPDDR4 standard was put in place back in 2014, but the specifications for LPDDR5 are still being discussed....

It’s worth noting before we start that Mini-LED isn’t a brand-new piece of innovation for this year. It’s been in a few models for a while with the TCL 8-series being the world’s first, announced back in 2019. Regardless, it’s predicted to be a big deal over the next few years with UBI research predicting it will overtake OLED in 2024. What is Mini-LED? Normally, an LCD LED TV consists of an LCD (liquid-crystal display) panel which has LEDs backlighting to light up the pixels....

However, when you look into it, the many standards and variations in performance are pretty confusing and things have only become worse over the last few years, with more and more icons and labels plastered on the cards. Now, the SD association has announced another standard: SD Express and we’re going to explain what you need to know about it. What is SD Express? Put simply, an SD Express card is just like an SSD....

Here, we explain what Viveport is, how it differs to SteamVR and go into detail about HTC’s subscription service, Viveport Subscription, which looks to be the Netflix of VR games. What is Viveport? Before we go any further, let’s first establish what Viveport is, and the differences between Viveport and the hugely popular SteamVR. In its simplest form, Viveport is the official app store for the HTC Vive, offering gamers a range of free- and paid-for VR experiences tailored to HTC’s VR headset....

One of the first decisions to make is which software to go with. While macOS and ChromeOS have grown in popularity in recent years, Windows is still overwhelmingly the most popular operating system on the planet. Given that it’s five years old at the time of writing, Windows 10 is probably the one you’ll go for. However, you might have noticed there are now three different versions. Windows 10 Home, Pro and S each have their merits, and are targeted at very different users....

According to Windows Insider lead Amanda Langowski, the Dev Channel will now be considered “a place to incubate new ideas, work on long lead items, and control the states of individual features”. The key difference now is that some of these features will never make their way into the final version of Windows 11. That’s intentional, as it allows Microsoft to take more risks. The Dev Channel has always been at the cutting edge of Windows development – you become a member in the knowledge that bugs and missing functionality is likely....

The user interface has been overhauled, with an all-new taskbar and many redesigned stock apps. There’s also new multitasking features and a dedicated widgets app, alongside plenty more changes Microsoft didn’t mention. Understandably, many people are keen to update their devices as soon as possible. That’s what seen thousands already download the Windows 11 beta, although as an early build we still don’t recommend it for your main PC. However, one of the key things Microsoft hasn’t spoken about in detail is app compatibility....
