I've watched all of Little House on the Prairie and finally understand why Netflix rebooted the classic Western drama — but it's a shame that new episodes look exactly like every other show on the streamer

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support "I just can't watch it... I don't want them to ruin what's already been" is a direct quote from my 60-year-old mother when I told her that Netflix was set to re-adapt the Western family drama classic, Little House on the Prairie . The tales of Laura Ingalls Wilder's real-life childhood have always held a distinct sense of importance in my household. As a child, my mum raced through the original book series — and encouraged me to do the same when I was old enough — and voraciously watched all nine seasons of the 1974 TV show when she was 12. As with any classic story that's being readapted for the umpteenth time without much in the way of explanation as to why, there was always going to be a valid sense of trepidation around bringing the Ingalls family back to life. But as an initial skeptic, my mind has been changed after watchin...

How to watch World Cup 2026 ad-free

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Stream World Cup 2026 games ad-free on BBC iPlayer (UK) Unlock your stream with Norton VPN (try for 60 days) Watch World Cup without hydration break ads on ITVX (UK) From Folarin Balogun's suspended ban and Cristiano Ronaldo's shortened suspension to the treatment of Iran and referee Omar Artan, so many aspects of World Cup 2026 have defied belief. But the brazen introduction of full-screen hydration break ads arguably tops the lot. From the moment the USA was confirmed as a co-host, there were light-hearted rumours that this beautiful game of two halves could be disfigured by the introduction of additional breaks for commercials, a la the NFL and NBA . Nobody's laughing now, except for the corporations. The potential for extreme weather in some of the host cities gave FIFA all the excuse it needed to effectively divide games into quarters un...

I was skeptical about the necessity for home security cameras — a late-night scare has now changed my mind

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Smart home security cameras are nothing new. They’ve been protecting Australian homes for well over a decade now, but for a long time I never felt the need for them. This was predominantly because for the majority of my adult life living away from home, I’ve been in rented accommodation, and so I’ve either been unable to install anything of my own, or I’ve been on an upper floor of an apartment building. I’m now living in a ground floor apartment with my partner, and we’re the owners. That means we’re free to install cameras as we see fit, and so we decided to place an old Ring Outdoor Stick-Up Cam above our front door, mainly as a ‘just in case’ safeguard. I’m now glad we did, and I’ve just invested in some newer Blink Outdoor 2K+ cameras with clearer vision following an attempted break in. The good news is they weren’t expensive, with a 2-pack currently cos...

I know it’s winter, but these all-time low Ninja Creami and Slushi Prime Day deals have me tempted

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support I know a frozen-treat machine isn't the most obvious thing to buy in the middle of winter, but Amazon's Prime Day sale has dropped both the Ninja Creami Deluxe and Ninja Slushi to all-time low prices. That makes these two deals a lot more tempting than they have any right to be in July, especially if you want to get ahead before summer or you just like ice cream, frozen drinks and weekend entertaining year-round. The Slushi is the one I can speak to personally. I bought mine on June 3 last year for AU$424.15, which was the lowest price I'd seen at the time, and I've since made hundreds of frozen drinks with it across summer and winter. The Creami Deluxe is the one I’d consider first if you’re more interested in ice cream than drinks. With the Deluxe version now at an all-time low, splurging feels a lot easier to justify, and I’m tempted to gra...
