If you’re looking for a new phone for the holidays or for 2026, this year’s options have taken a tight turn.

You can blame AI for lots of things, from the environmental impact of enormous AI data centers consuming massive amounts of land, water and power to AI slop that is somehow making advertising and social media even worse. And now, as you watch your electricity bill rise while sitting through terrible McDonald’s and Coca-Cola holiday commercials, you can blame AI for the rising cost of computers.  The AI boom has led to a shortage of PC memory, as AI...

When zigzagging around people in New York, I can’t be staring down at my phone to text. Speech-to-text tools have become crucial for quick communication while double-fisting a smartphone and a Jamaican beef patty.  The problem is that sometimes the system interprets words incorrectly, misses punctuation or stops recording altogether. This makes me stop in the middle of pedestrian traffic, where I need to go back and begin editing, eliminating whatever conveniences speech-to-text afforded me. Frankly, this should be...

It’s not easy to give technology as a gift when you don’t know someone very well. But tech accessories?

So for this week’s episode of “One More Thing,” which you can watch embedded above, I hope to give you one less thing to worry about this gift-wrangling season. Here I highlight some of...

December is a busy month for the night skies, what with the winter solstice and the occasional aurora borealis. It also hosts one of the best meteor showers of the year: the Geminids. This often underrated meteor shower does not get the attention the Perseids meteor shower gets, but it often rains down just as many meteors if you are willing to brave the cold to go out and see them. Geminids, known for its bright and colorful shooting stars, began the show...

I’ve gotten surprisingly good at capturing almost pro-level shots with just my iPhone, Apple Watch, and a tripod. Here’s how.

If green energy enthusiasts think battery storage will mean a significantly bigger future for wind and solar, they ought to look at the province’s energy plan more carefully. It doesn’t rely on renewable energy. Instead, it foresees a big nuclear power expansion, with that source supplying 75 per cent of Ontario’s power by 2050, up from 50 per cent now. Renewables will increase over the next few years, then stay stable and start to decline in the 2040s as...

Perhaps. The handful of ByWard shop-owners and retailers I recently spoke with were open to the measure. Pat Nicastro at La Bottega, for example, while conceding that much more needs to be done in the long term, described the announcement as a positive solution. “This is going to help businesses,” he said. “The three things we need are safety, cleanliness and convenience. As businesses, we’re ecstatic about this.”

I strongly suspect that old-style, hierarchical public sector management also played a role, given its emphasis on maintaining a line of vision and personal control.
