This can lead to a serious snooze button habit, which isn’t great for your sleep (even if it does feel wonderful to sink back under those warm covers for an extra 10 minutes). Starting the day feeling tired and groggy can also lead to a lack of focus and reduced motivation, so the siren call of caffeine gets all the louder.

The filing doesn’t confirm that this is a new Chromecast directly, instead referring to the device as Google G454V. However, it’s not too difficult to read between the lines and see what else is going on, especially since one of the diagrams shows the device (EUT) connecting to the back of an LCD monitor.

The idea behind Adverswordle is simple: rather than racking your brains trying to come up with the five-letter word in a limited number of turns as you would in Wordle, you set the word for an AI and watch it sweat instead. Simply think of a five-letter word, load up the game and then begin marking the AI’s guesses in the tried and tested fashion. If a letter is correct and in the right place, click it until it turns green....

Brentford have had a disappointing run of things after a fantastic start to their first season in the top flight. And while they’re not in relegation zone, a few wins by lower teams would be cause for major concern. While Thomas Frank doesn’t have superstars at his disposal, the Bees don’t lack for talent. Goals have come from a variety of players. And they did beat Wolves at Molineux back in September....

“RIP iPhone 6s. We had a good run. I’ll miss your home button. I won’t miss the nightly battle of trying to get you to charge. Or your grainy pictures. Or your sudden drops from 100% battery, to 15%, to completely dead all within minutes. It was a wild ride. Rest easy, pal.” Evans totally earned my sympathy with the above tweet (opens in new tab). But the actor posted the same message on Instagram (opens in new tab) along with an image of his archaic iPhone 6s alongside what seems to be an iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro....

People have started getting their hands on the Steam Deck, with reviews everywhere mostly praising the new handheld gaming PC.

Never heard of Windfall? I’m not surprised. The thriller seems to have fallen through the cracks as the big red streaming service has instead opted to focus its marketing efforts on the latest Ryan Reynolds blockbuster. However, Windfall is well worth seeking out, even if the Netflix algorithm doesn’t seem to be giving it much love. Windfall is a single-location thriller that follows a robbery gone wrong. After a thief breaks into the holiday home of a wealthy tech CEO, he’s forced to take the mogul and his wife hostage after they unexpectedly show up at the house....
