This week on the Best Movies You’ve Never Seen podcast we’re watching the Aussie film Malcolm starring Colin Friels and directed by Nadia Tass.

Apple has brought active noise cancellation and Apple Intelligence to more customers with the launch of the AirPods 5. Apple is standardising ANC across the entire AirPods family while redesigning the open-ear experience around computational audio, adaptive controls and AI-powered features. The result will appeal to a wider range of consumers who want to enjoy the features of the AirPods Pro but don’t want the sealed in-ear design – or the higher price.

There’s an arm’s race going on in the world of robot vacuums – extendable arms.

Tech Guide checked out the Dreame stand at IFA in Berlin and saw the X60 Ultra Extreme which has not one but two extendable arms – a brush arm that can extend 12cm and a mop that reaches 18cm.

A product comparison video maker is useful when it helps a shopper choose between two models you already sell. The job is not to make one model look cinematic. The job is to map a real use case to one model, using the same units, the same conditions, and source-backed specifications. TapVid turns existing product materials into a video that can explain that choice clearly, as long as the source pack already contains the facts the video is allowed to show.

Many investors would like to buy cryptocurrency regularly, but are not ready to monitor the market every day and try to guess the best moment to enter.
