Riverdale is returning for season 5 this week. Here’s what to expect and how you can watch the new episodes in Australia.
All those ‘90s babies grew up with the best childhood cartoons — shows so beloved they continue to remake them to this day. Recently we’ve seen reboots of Duck Tales, Animaniacs, and Ren and Stimpy, not to mention the many iterations of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But nothing really beats…
Gone are the days of seeing a movie just to feel the leather seats, smell the popcorn, and be with others in the movie theatre. Indoor movie theatres are high-risk locations during the ongoing pandemic, so while we wait for vaccinations, making your own home theatre can be a clever…

Technology has officially advanced far enough that there’s no excuse for any of us to be sitting directly next to a power point with a short charging cable if we want to use our phones while they charge. If you haven’t yet invested in a charging cable that you can…
Back in the days of TV on DVD, no series was treated better than The Muppet Show — until it wasn’t. Disney produced lavish full-season sets for the series, including nifty bonus features, and even packaged them in flocked “fuzzy” boxes meant to replicate the supple feel of a Muppet’s……
Got a handful of Funko Pop Vinyls hanging around the house? You may not realise it, but those cute little babies may be worth a pile of cash.

Hackers are exploiting a strange bug that lets a simple text string ‘corrupt’ your Windows 10 or Windows XP computer’s hard drive if you extract a ZIP file, open a specific folder, or even click on a Windows shortcut. The hacker adds the text string to a folder’s location, and the…
Netflix’s marketing department is excited to let you know that the streaming service will be debuting at least one new movie every week in 2021. This is, perhaps, an attempt to distract from the fact that while Warner Bros., Disney, and NBC Universal, etc. all have their own streaming services,…
This week we’re learning about the tools and tech we need to upgrade our lives in 2021, and helping us are Mark Frauenfelder and Kevin Kelly — hosts of the Cool Tools podcast and the Cool Tools blog. Listen to hear Mark and Kevin’s recommendations for what to get for…

I’m a big fan of adult card games, especially after a few wines. Serve me up anything from classic UNO right through to Cards Against Humanity and my competitive side comes out. Not only are card games a great way to spice up any occasion, but they’re especially good for…

In the Australian region, the Bureau of Meteorology gives tropical cyclones their name. You can write to the Bureau of Meteorology to suggest a cyclone name, but it is likely to be more than a 50-year wait. Tropical cyclones are named so we can easily highlight them to the community,…

Owning a car or other vehicle can be a mixed bag. On the one hand, you have the freedom to go wherever you want, without having to rely on public transit, or your own two feet — something that has made them especially coveted during the pandemic. But on the…
Anime is the catch-all term for Japanese animation, but the medium is a global phenomenon with a passionate fan base outside of Asia. If you’ve never explored it before, the vast array of content and styles of storytelling it encompasses can be intimidating. Consider a scene from Akira, one of the…
It’s time to roll up the shirt-sleeves and dive back into my favourite topic: wireless networking. I realise we beat this drum a lot at Lifehacker, but that’s because Wi-Fi woes are a pretty regular source of frustration for readers who don’t hesitate to give my inbox an earful.
Now that mobile manufacturers are increasingly abandoning chargers in the spirit of managing “e-waste,” I think it’s finally time to give this blanket advice to everyone, no matter what phone platform or manufacturer you prefer: Organise. Your. Chargers.
You can now enable a new “Guest Mode” on Google’s smart speakers and displays, like the Nest Audio, and make sharing your devices less of a privacy risk. The feature blocks Google Assistant from saving any commands and questions you feed it — normally useful for getting your digital helper…
After spending the majority of 2020 at home, you’ve probably noticed just how little storage space you actually have. Your kitchen could do with some organising, your laundries a mess and the home office leaves a lot to be desired. But thank goodness for all the cleave storage organisers you can…

It appears there’s some confusion about what to do when you’re wearing a mask and you need to sneeze. As Matt Karolian noted on Twitter, a man at the recent impeachment vote pulled down his mask to sneeze into his hand, which is exactly the opposite of what you are…
