I’m a longtime lover of pen and paper, so E Ink tablets have been intriguing to me ever since they started becoming more widely available. After having hundreds of half-filled notebooks over the years, I, at some point, turned to digital tools instead because it was just easier to store everything on my phone or laptop so I always had my most important information at my fingertips.E-Ink tablets seem to provide the best of both worlds: the tactile satisfaction of regular notebooks with many of the conveniences found in digital tools, plus easy-on-the-eyes E-Ink screens. These devices have come a…
Gary Neville has said Manchester United re-hiring Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be ‘Groundhog Day’ with the club stuck in a ‘cycle.’ Almost 50 months on since they last sacked him, United are reportedly considering re-hiring Solskjaer on an interim basis until the end of the year ahead of appointing a permanent boss in the summer. Solskjaer is one of two names thought to be in contention, along with Michael Carrick who has also managed the club in the past, but Neville believes either hire would be part of a familiar pattern. “They put Ryan [Giggs] in charge 10 years ago,…
I’m fascinated by AI cooking robots which, as far as I’m concerned, automate the one fun bit of cooking. Sadly, it’s far easier to make something that can stir a pan of ingredients as they cook compared to building something that would successfully peel a carrot. Nosh is the latest unit to use CES to announce itself to the world, gearing up for its launch in the next few months. Like its many rivals, you load ingredients into the unit and then Nosh will assemble them for you. Unlike its many rivals, you can have more than one ingredient tray,…

Pundit Tim Sherwood has explained why he thinks Manchester United summer signing Benjamin Sesko is “not good enough” for the Premier League giants. Sesko was among Man Utd’s marquee signings in this summer’s transfer window, joining the club from RB Leipzig in a deal worth around £74m. Man Utd’s other signings, Senne Lammens, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, have hit the ground running this season, but Sesko has made a slow start at Old Trafford. Sesko has been heavily criticised for his poor performances this season, but he had a good night against Burnley on Wednesday as he scored a…
Volvo has confirmed that the forthcoming EX60 electric SUV will offer 503 miles of range between charges, which will make it the longest-legged EV on sale in the UK. That is thanks in part to a large 106kWh battery, though it is also more efficient than the rival BMW iX3, which gets 500 miles of range from a 108.7kWh (usable capacity) pack. It is enough range to drive from London to Dundee (some 480 miles away) without stopping to charge or, as Volvo notes, from Paris to Amsterdam. The EX60 will also be capable of recharging at up to 400kW, refilling some 211…
Samsung says AI data center-fueled RAM scarcity could raise the company’s prices. Wonjin Lee, Samsung’s global marketing leader, sounded the alarm in an interview with Bloomberg on Tuesday at CES 2026. As recently as early December, Samsung told Reuters that it was monitoring the market but wouldn’t comment on pricing. So, the change of tune can be seen as a deliberate signal to soften the ground ahead of an official announcement.”There’s going to be issues around semiconductor supplies, and it’s going to affect everyone,” Samsung’s Lee said. “Prices are going up even as we speak. Obviously, we don’t want to…

According to reports, a Tottenham Hotspur chief has ‘demanded’ head coach Thomas Frank to be sacked after the 3-2 loss against AFC Bournemouth. Spurs are on a dire run of form under Frank, with the Premier League side only winning three of their previous 13 matches in all competitions. The north London outfit are currently three games without a win in the Premier League and suffered a late 3-2 loss against Bournemouth on Tuesday. The Cherries were on a ten-match winless run heading into the game. This leaves Frank as one of two leading contenders to be the next Premier…
If you want to do the fairest and most scrupulous job as a road tester, to reconfirm an impression or be sure about a relative strength or weakness, the best thing is simply to start over. Rinse and repeat. Come with a fresh set of senses and just give the cars on which you’re about to pronounce one more chance. The more important the pronouncement, of course, the stronger the case to hit the reset button. That’s why, come the darkest winter months, the UK-based jurors for the Car of the Year award gather together the seven new cars that…
