  • I tested the Antigravity A1 360-degree drone - a pricey DJI rival with built-in 360 cam
    December 7, 2025, 12:26 PM EST. TechRadar review: The Antigravity A1 is a 360-degree camera drone under 250 g that combines a built-in 8K 360 camera with FPV goggles and a motion controller. It isn't a conventional FPV drone; you fly via head-tracked goggles and motion gestures, while the camera captures immersive footage from every angle. The product, from Insta360, aims to blend portability with high-end optics, but it comes at a premium. Three bundles are offered: Standard Bundle, Explorer Bundle and Infinity Bundle, priced at $1,599, $1,899 and $1,999 respectively (UK/AUS equivalents vary). It launched on December 4, 2025. Pros: unique perspective, built-in camera, immersive control. Cons: high price, limited traditional controls, potential obsolescence risk.
  • iPhone 17 Pro vs Oppo Find X9 Pro: Camera Showdown in Edinburgh
    December 7, 2025, 12:10 PM EST. An in-depth camera shootout between the iPhone 17 Pro and the Oppo Find X9 Pro reveals a nuanced balance of color, detail, and processing. The iPhone delivers natural rendering and a consistent performance, while the Oppo packs a triple rear camera system that can produce vibrant images with sharper wide shots and a highly capable 200-megapixel zoom. In a series of missions around Edinburgh, the Find X9 Pro showed warmer, more vivid colors and aggressive sharpening, at times oversaturating the sky. The iPhone's ultrawide can look cooler or magenta-leaning by comparison, and Oppo's images also rely on more aggressive noise reduction. Ultimately, Oppo's performance earns it praise (and a CNET Editors' Choice nod) for overall versatility, though color and texture decisions still come down to taste.
  • US VPN Guidance Sparks Debate: Safety, Surveillance, and Online Privacy
    December 7, 2025, 12:08 PM EST. Recent guidance from the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) telling professionals not to rely on a personal VPN has reignited questions about whether online safety or surveillance is the real priority. The author notes that VPNs can shift risk from ISPs to providers and that many free or low-cost options have questionable privacy policies, while reputable services often undergo third-party audits. The piece argues that the guidance targets private use and could be used to justify greater monitoring, even as it acknowledges the risk of public Wi-Fi networks. The author supports protecting kids online but worries about the implication that the government's motive isn't safety alone. In short, the debate pits privacy against surveillance in a landscape where policy changes may shape how we defend data on the road, at work, and online.
  • Rhythm Doctor Review: An Innovative Rhythm Game That Blends Storytelling and Challenge
    December 7, 2025, 12:06 PM EST. Rhythm Doctor is a rare rhythm game that uses its mechanics to tell a story. You're an intern at Middlesea Hospital, watching from a screen and pressing a single button on every seventh beat to defibrillate patients in time with their heartbeats. The gimmick is simple, but the execution-polyrhythms, irregular time signatures, and silent beats-keeps it relentlessly challenging. The game blends storytelling with tactile play, turning you into a player-as-character who matters even when you can't speak. Gorgeous pixel art and a standout soundtrack support a surprisingly emotional eight-hour journey. It's brutal, obsessive, and utterly gripping. Rhythm Doctor is a brilliant and bold take on the rhythm genre.
