Instagram is finally adding another much-needed layer of protection from harassment to your inbox: from now on, it’ll “automatically filter DM requests containing offensive words, phrases, and emojis, so you never have to see them.” The idea is that this should prevent strangers sending you hateful messages; pings from people you don’t know are already filtered into a separate inbox, so this takes things one step further. Instagram will now... Read more ›

Last night’s Apple event rocked my teensy-tiny reptile brain. But amongst all the badass updates and new hardware, one thing stood above the rest: the new Apple TV remote. Also known as the Siri remote, the old version of this device is one of the most harrowing things I’ve contended with. I’ve gone into detail about this before, but it’s scarred me so much I think it’s worth repeating. First... Read more ›

It’s virtually impossible to get a true understanding of a new car’s dimensions and stance until we see it alongside models we already know. A few weeks ago, Hyundai’s electric spinoff brand Ioniq unveiled its first model, simply called the 5. Everyone seemed to agree that it is a good looking car, but something didn’t add up. Ioniq insists the 5 is a crossover, but in the pictures it looked... Read more ›

Apple introduced updated iPad Pros last night at its ‘Spring Loaded’ event. These devices are now powered by the company’s own ARM-based M1 chip, millimeter-wave 5G support, and a Thunderbolt 3/USB 4 port. However, my favorite feature is called Center Stage — powered by the new ultra wide-angle front camera. Here’s what it does: when you’re video calling someone and move slightly to the side, the camera will pan towards... Read more ›

Yesterday at 9pm Australian Eastern standard time, the Ingenuity helicopter — which landed on Mars with the Perseverance rover in February — took off from the Martian surface. More importantly, it hovered for about 30 seconds, three metres above the surface and came right back down again. It may not sound like a huge feat, but it is. Ingenuity’s flight is the first powered flight of an aircraft on another... Read more ›

VanMoof makes some of the most stylish stealth ebikes around — we loved the S3 model in our review. But one of the most common complaints levied at the ebikes is that their battery is not user-removable. This makes for two big particularly big annoyances. For one, you can’t leave the bike in a garage or storage room and charge the battery at home. For another, you can’t quickly swap... Read more ›

It was only a brief trip, but Ingenuity had to overcome some major challenges on the way. The Martian... Read more ›
