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...

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Polish billionaire Michał Sołowow's SGE announces £35bn plan to build 14 GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300 reactors across three UK sites The project aims to deliver 4.2GW of power starting in 2034, effectively powering 8m homes for over 60 years The project is looking to secure government backing, with guaranteed prices intended to be locked in for the power producer before it would be offered to investors Small modular nuclear reactors seem to be back in favor globally, and a consortium of investors is now looking to bring the technology back to the UK as part of a push to both meet environmental goals and increase energy security in an increasingly volatile world. Poland-based SGE (Synthos Green Energy) is looking to build up to 14 reactors across three locations in the UK, with six at its primary site and four each at its two secondary sites.

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...

The Ninja Luxe Cafe Premier is an “espresso machine anyone can master” and it’s dropped to an all-time Aussie low for Prime Day

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Amazon Prime Day is now live in Australia, and I’m spending the majority of my time seeking out the very best Prime Day coffee machine deals . Fortunately, I’ve not been disappointed, with huge savings on many of our favourite machines here at TechRadar. The highlight, however, has to be a mega saving on the superb Ninja Luxe Café Premier espresso machine, which drops to a new all-time low in Australia of AU$497.99 for the stainless steel model . That smashes a previous low price of AU$629 that I spotted during Black Friday last year, and means that if you’ve been holding out on getting the viral-hit coffee maker, this Prime-exclusive deal presents the perfect opportunity. As we said in our 4.5-star Ninja Luxe Café review , this bean-to-cup coffee machine is worth the hype. Our tester said it was "an espresso machine anyone can master" that offers p...

Attention, Nvidia GPU users — you need to be wary of riser cable setups, especially when using an RTX 5090

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support A Reddit user's RTX 5090 has partially melted a PCIe riser cable Some of the riser cable's material is stuck on the RTX 5090's backplate It's not as serious a concern as connector melting issues, but it's worth being cautious about riser cable and GPU spacing henceforth Building a new gaming PC in 2026 and beyond is a tough ask for any gamer amid the RAM crisis, and that's why this case of caution around hardware components is vital. As reported by TweakTown , a Reddit user has reported a partially melted Lian Li PCIe riser cable due to heat from direct contact with the Asus TUF GeForce RTX 5090 backplate. The material chipped away from the riser cable is evident on the GPU's backplate, but fortunately it isn't a substantial amount. Riser cables are an ideal solution for any PC builder aiming for a small case that can fit lar...

Crawl, walk, run – that’s how you get humanoid robotics all grown up

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support It’s no longer a question of if – only when. The promise of humanoid robotics is finally crystallizing into a commercial reality. This new era will create a sector with the heft to rival megaliths like automotive and computing. But we’re not there yet, and though large and well-known manufacturers are investing billions in development, with some clear leaders, the robots themselves remain in adolescent stage. My advice? Treat them like any other adolescents and don’t rush them into adulthood before they’re ready. Take a crawl walk run approach to innovation, build capability layer by layer, and let maturity emerge from momentum. This is the fastest way to win the race to commercial deployment and value. Development teams are making progress by the day, stimulated and inspired by the obvious appeal of a robot shaped like a human, operating deftly and effective...
