This app will remind you why magazines were so good and better than endless scrolling

In our day and age, it’s so easy to be led into consuming content that agrees with your own opinions. For example, one of my favorite news apps is from the BBC.

It’s even possible to customize the subjects that you see in your news feed, which is ideal for getting content related to your areas of interest. The only problem is that all the news is from one news provider and therefore from a single perspective. Some…

I tried Mini’s next-gen OLED infotainment system – and it proves that digital doesn’t have to mean soulless

I’m pretty sure the BMW Group won’t be too upset if I say that the first-generation Mini Electric was fundamentally flawed.  The 32.6kWh battery pack was tiny, the 144-mile range often unachievable, and the charging times were painfully slow.

Thankfully, Mini has hit back with an all-new electric version that, alongside a far more useable and accurate max range of 250 miles, plus a 95 kW…
