Amazon has slashed the price of the small but mighty Mac mini M4 which means you can get Apple’s cheapest computer for even less.

Every now and again, I decide to try out a particular office chair based on looks alone. But after spending the past six months sitting in the Uplift Pursuit, I’m equally impressed by all its ergonomic features and just how adjustable it is.

There’s just something inherently more useful about a smaller tablet. Sure, the best tablets have gotten a lot larger in recent years but what I’ve found is that with a bigger tablet, I’m less likely to bring it with me or reach for it when I want a screen slightly bigger than my smartphone.

Over the past five years, I’ve run thousands of internet speed tests, initially while testing the best VPNs and then the best Wi-Fi routers.

Upgrading your smart thermostat probably wasn’t too high up on your list of priorities until Google revealed that it would end support for its first and second generation Nest Learning Thermostats in October. Once October rolls around, those older Nest thermostats will lose all smart functionality. This means you won’t be able to control them remotely using your smartphone or with your voice through your smart speaker.
