A password can do a mostly fine job of keeping your PSN account secure, but it comes with the annoyance of typing it in relatively frequently, and it suffers from needing to setup sometimes cumbersome 2-factor authentication to further reduce the chances of someone else logging in with your information. Sony has finally introduced a passkey system that not only makes logging in much breezier but offers significantly better security, as a passkey is generated only once and can’t be reused. If you’d like to take the leap into a safer login method for your PSN account, here’s how to…
Israel launched deadly air strikes on Rafah on Thursday, after threatening to send troops in to hunt for Hamas militants in the southern Gaza city where around 1.4 million Palestinians have sought refuge. Another 97 people were killed over the past 24 hours in Gaza, the health ministry said, as a US envoy was in Israel for fresh efforts to secure a truce. International concern has spiralled over the territory’s escalating civilian death toll and the desperate humanitarian crisis sparked by the war. Brett McGurk, White House coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, held talks with Israeli Defence…
From time to time this column has delved into the foreign origins of English words, but this week I’d like to discuss foreign words that are commonly used in English, but remain in their original languages and have not undergone transmutations of spelling or usage. Yet you need to know them because they are, in fact, commonly used in English, while remaining recognisably foreign. One arena where a number of such phrases is used is the judiciary; judges are inordinately fond of them, often using phrases taken straight from Latin or French for ideas that could be easily expressed in…
Iga Swiatek, one of the most awe-inspiring and technically dominant women in the sport today, stormed into the semifinals at the WTA’s Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. Swiatek, the number one player in the world for the past 91 weeks, effortlessly extended her winning streak over China’s Qinwen Zheng, the No 6 seed, with an easy 6-3, 6-2 win. In the semis, Swiatek will face unseeded Russian Anna Kalinskaya who stunned US Open champion Coco Gauff 2-6 6-4 6-2 in the last quarterfinal on Thursday. “We always have tight matches, it’s always intense and hard,” Swiatek said on centre court.…
It’s hard to beat the convenience of a set of wireless earbuds. Still, these devices all suffer from two major drawbacks: They sit inside your ear, where they can cause discomfort, and they generally block a lot of external sounds, which can be downright hazardous in certain situations. Open-ear earbuds, and other types of open-ear “headphones,” deal with both of these challenges. Because they don’t sit inside your ear, they’re incredibly comfortable — you can often forget you’re even wearing them. And because they don’t seal off your ear canal (not even a little), you’ll hear the whole world just…

Speakers are the last checkpoint on your audio’s journey from its source to the final destination that is your perky little ears. And whether that source is your smartphone’s Spotify app, a sweet-sounding stereo receiver or integrated amplifier, a turntable, or an elaborate AV receiver that’s delivering Dolby Atmos surround sound throughout your home theater, the speakers you choose are going to make a big difference in how good everything sounds. But it’s an audio jungle out there, and choosing speakers can be a challenge. What do you need? Big tower speakers or a set of surrounds and a subwoofer…
