If you’re thinking of picking up one of these several excellent PlayStation 5 deals or already own a PlayStation 5, then grabbing yourself a monitor to game on, rather than just going for a typical TV, can give you a great experience, especially if you’re in a bedroom. Luckily, there are quite a few options to pick from, whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly monitor or a high-end curved monitor with all the bells and whistles.

Over the past three months, on banners and T-shirts and balloons and social media posts, one piece of imagery has emerged around the world in protests against the Israel-Hamas war: the watermelon. The colours of sliced watermelon — with red pulp, green-white rind and black seeds — are the same as those on the Palestinian flag. From New York and Tel Aviv to Belgrade, the fruit has become a symbol of solidarity, drawing together activists who don’t speak the same language or belong to the same culture but share a common cause. The internet is now teeming with pictorial signs…

The Xbox Series X is a delightful console, but can ironically be a headache to get a suitable monitor for. Why? It can’t necessarily take advantage of all of the stats the best gaming monitors are going to be able to give it. It’s rated to run 4K at 120Hz max. This means the usual high definition, high refresh rate lists of monitors — what gamers typically go for — is thrown out the window. However, with lower requirements, there are actually also lower quantities of monitor for you to choose from without, essentially, paying for extra. No matter what…

I think the first time that I ever saw Rory McIlroy was in 2006, the year that Tiger Woods beat Ernie Els in a suspense-filled playoff to win the Dubai Desert Classic. I don’t really recall much of him in that event because of the overwhelming presence of Tiger, at that time the No. 1 golfer in the world. He had everybody’s attention. Even mine. But fast-forward three years and it was a teenage Rory’s time to shine at the Emirates Golf Club when, just like Tiger in 2006, he held his nerve to hold off Justin Rose to seal…

A team of researchers in Japan is working on a system that uses laser beams fired from the ground to knock out pieces of space junk. The growing amount of space junk orbiting Earth poses a serious threat to satellites, as well as to crewed facilities such as the International Space Station and China’s Tiangong. Made up of spent rockets parts and decommissioned satellites, the debris becomes an even bigger danger when it collides at great speed, creating smaller parts that still have the potential to cause enormous damage to humans and functioning machinery in orbit. Various startups have been…
