But, did you know that the electricity you use in the day doesn’t cost the same? In fact, if you’re always doing laundry, you could save money by simply running your washing machine at a certain time. This is because most energy companies’ offer time-of-use utility plans that charge more for electricity during peak hours, while off-peak times are much cheaper. If you’re on a standard electricity plan however, rates will remain steady throughout....

The move has understandably made a lot of potential buyers unhappy — which is why they might be pleased to know that Microsoft and Nintendo have no intention of following suit. The Xbox and the Switch will retain their current prices for now, although both companies hedged their bets about what might happen in the future. When Sony announced the PS5 price increase, other gaming publications got in touch with Microsoft and Nintendo to see if those companies planned to do the same thing....

Our best mattress guide includes many hybrid models, and all of them feel cooler, bouncier and slightly firmer than the memory foam beds in the guide. You can thank all those coils for that. Most hybrid mattresses come in a medium-firm feel (the sweet spot for balancing comfort versus support), but a few are designed to be firmer. This is often to accommodate heavier bodies, plus stomach and back sleepers who need to sleep on top of their mattress, rather than sinking in, to prevent their spines from dipping....

The news comes to us courtesy of a blog post (opens in new tab) attributed to Microsoft exec Panos Panay, and it’s potentially a big deal. Widgets were a promising Windows 11 feature that proved deeply underwhelming at launch. In our Windows 11 review, I criticized Microsoft for not doing more with the operating system’s new Widgets menu, a customizable pane of auto-updating Widgets which pops out from the left side of the screen whenever you mouse over the Widgets icon on the taskbar (or press Windows key + W)....

The best healthy routine is one you enjoy, so crash dieting, skipping meals, or cutting major food groups entirely aren’t likely to last longer than a few weeks at best. If you’re looking to lose weight, and more importantly, keep it off, it’s a good idea to make small changes, rather than drastic ones. It’s also a good idea to consult your doctor or dietician for more advice or sign up to a support group to help you stay motivated....

So before you throw out any more spoiled food, follow these 5 tips to organize your fridge and make food last longer....

Up front, there’s Sonic the Hedgehog’s return to the cinema, which is debuting on demand and on Paramount Plus simultaneously. It’s a fun ride, but it’s hardly a one-size-fits-all kind of film. Which is why we’re very excited that the worldwide box office-crusher RRR — the most interesting film on this list — is finally on Netflix. Beloved around the world for wild action scenes, including one where a man catches a motorcycle, RRR skipped over the normal Digital Release that we’d expect (and how multiple items on this list are distributed)....

However, and as we’ll learn here when looking at the benefits of sleep, skimping on shut-eye is one of the worst things you can do for your energy levels, focus, mood and productivity. Just like having a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, having enough sleep is an essential part of looking after yourself. So what happens when you don’t? Well, when we recently spoke to renowned sleep expert Dr Sophie Bostock about the symptoms of sleep deprivation, we learned that a regular lack of sleep has many adverse effects, from moodiness to weight gain to chronic disease, while good sleep has big advantages....

Our Apple AirPods Max review highlights the device’s luxurious design, sophisticated soundstage and clever computational features. Spatial Audio is perhaps at its best on the AirPods Max, enabling 3D soundscapes while listening to music or streaming shows. These are also some of the best noise-cancelling headphones. The biggest drawback of AirPods Max is, regrettably, the price. We consider value in all our product recommendations, and the truth is that there are better headphone values than AirPods Max....

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 could be with us as early as this fall, and a new set of concept images has given us the clearest idea yet of what they could look like. The current Apple AirPods Pro have been among the best noise-cancelling earbuds since they launched in 2019, but as Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman points out in his latest Power On newsletter (opens in new tab), they’re long overdue an update....

Researchers at Royal Holloway University in London and the University of Catania in Sicily found that it was possible to get an Alexa speaker to perform any number of functions by playing commands through the speaker itself. Dubbed “Alexa vs Alexa,” the hack could be performed with only a few seconds of proximity to a vulnerable Echo device. Researchers were able to use voice commands to pair an Echo with a Bluetooth device, and provided the Bluetooth device stayed within range, attackers could use that device to issue the Echo commands....
