the gas lamps of Green Park and Hyde Park, central London –


Many of London’s royal parks are still lit by gas lamp, giving out a beautiful warm glow at night.

I snapped some of them as I walked through the parks last night.

London can claim to be the first city in the world to be lit by gas, with the first recorded demonstration taking place on Pall Mall in 1807.

Two decades later, public spaces all across the country were lit by gas, before being slowly replaced by electricity.

Incredibly, there are still around 1,300 working gas lamps in London, with around 270 in Westminster, half of which are currently listed.

Phone 17 Air to have titanium frame, WeTransfer clarifies AI stance after user backlash


The rumored iPhone 17 Air will have a titanium frame, according to Apple analyst Jeff Pu. In an investor note with equity research firm GF Securities this week, Pu also said the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max will have aluminum frames, so the iPhone 17 Air will be the only new model to use titanium.

iPhone 17 Air Thumb 2 Blue Electric Boogaloo

It is unclear why the iPhone 17 Air would have a titanium frame, as aluminum is lighter than titanium, which would be fitting for the device’s rumored ultra-thin and lightweight design. Titanium is generally stronger than aluminum, however, so perhaps the material is necessary to ensure that the iPhone 17 Air’s thin chassis is durable. Mac Rumors

For years, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has promised that his EV company would finally manufacture an affordable car in the $25,000 range. For years, he’s missed his own deadlines… until now? Step into a showroom run by EV Auto, an electric car dealership with three locations in the US states of Utah and Colorado, and you can choose from several Model 3s all hovering around the $20,000 mark. The catch? The catch is that these cars have at least several thousand miles on them—because they’re used. Some global EV makers aren’t in a great spot. But for buyers, it’s a great time to pick up a used electric car. Wired

‘A modern homage to an icon’ – behold the PPW R33


Plenty of Italian supercar classics have had their time in their reimagination, recreation or restomod limelight: Lamborghini made another Countach, Ferrari mined its considerable heritage for the Icona series, new Paganis look an awful lot like old Paganis and all manner of companies are endeavouring to make Lancia great again. But Alfa Romeo has been absent from that list. Oh sure, Alfaholics will make you a lovely little GT Junior, if nothing more exotic than that. Step forward, then, PPW, and its R33 – ‘a breathtaking tribute to the legendary 1967 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale.’ 

60 years ago, just 11 roadgoing Tipo 33s were made, which would probably explain why it’s taken a while for a 21st-century celebration to happen – it was always going to take someone really dedicated to get the project off the ground. There will be fewer of those for the Tipo 33, surely, than for something made in greater numbers. But PHer David Hutchinson was that person; he emailed last week to say that his ‘five-year obsession has finally come to fruition’, asked whether we’d be interested in writing about it and also whether it should be at Annual Service next month. You can guess the answers to those questions. 

Originally this was to be a one-off for David, built with PPW, but now the decision has been made to produce 33 of these incredible machines. The spec sounds as good as the car looks, with almost 400hp provided from the dry-sumped, Ferrari-Maserati 4.2-litre F176 V8; it’ll snort through throttle bodies, because that’s what a ’60s 33 had, and drive power to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual. The R33 will weigh 1,000kg dry. 

Partly it’s so light because it’s so small – the joy of paying homage to a classic means this is less than four metres long. But also that’s attributable to the new chassis, which mirrors the dimensions of the original Alfa but with more modern materials. This is no mere rebody of an existing sports car – the R33 by PPW is a whole new thing. And that’s hugely exciting. The body is handcrafted aluminium ‘complemented by state-of-the-art construction techniques.’ Butterfly doors ought to ensure your ingress and egress is almost as graceful. But no guarantees…

Without ABS, traction control or power steering, the R33 is described by its maker as a ‘purist’s dream’; the brakes feature Wilwood calipers, the Gaz dampers are bespoke to this project and there isn’t even any servo for the middle pedal – so best bring your A-game. Which is exactly the point; the R33 celebrates a time when driving was visceral, demanding, and immensely rewarding, an era that many are desperate to create now in an increasingly sanitised and synthetic fast car world. Only this one is road legal with IVA approval, and there’ll be rather more than Alfa ever produced in period. 

Still not very many, though. There will be 33 R33s, and each will cost from £540,000 plus taxes. This colour is Alfa Rosso Corsa, and you’ll be able to see PPW’s glorious work in person at the PH Annual Service. Perfect time to commission your build, in fact…

OnePlus Nord 5 vs. Nord CE5: Specs and Features


Display quality differences between OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord C5 screens
Tech Spurt

The OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord C5 are two standout options in the competitive mid-range smartphone market. Each device is tailored to meet distinct user needs, with the Nord 5 offering a more premium experience and the Nord C5 serving as a cost-effective alternative with practical compromises. This detailed comparison explores their differences in design, display, performance, software, audio, camera, storage, and battery life, helping you make an informed decision based on your preferences and priorities.

nePlus Nord CE5 vs Nord 5 Camera, Gaming, Battery & Beyond!

Design & Build

Both the Nord 5 and Nord C5 feature sleek, modern designs that combine aesthetics with functionality. Their matte finishes resist fingerprints, while the plastic frames enhance durability without adding unnecessary weight. However, the Nord 5 is slightly larger, boasting a 6.83-inch form factor compared to the Nord C5’s 6.77 inches. This size difference is subtle but noticeable, especially for users who prefer larger screens.

The camera module design also sets the two devices apart. The Nord 5 features a prominent camera bump with the flash integrated into the module, giving it a bold and cohesive look. In contrast, the Nord C5 opts for a smaller, offset flash design that prioritizes simplicity.

Color options further distinguish the two models:

  • Nord 5: Available in Phantom Gray, Dry Ice, and Marble Mist, offering a mix of bold and understated tones.
  • Nord C5: Comes in Black Infinity and Marble, catering to users who prefer classic or minimalist aesthetics.

Display

The display is a critical factor for many smartphone users, and the Nord 5 takes the lead in this area. It features a 6.83-inch Swift OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, delivering sharper visuals, smoother scrolling, and a more immersive viewing experience. This makes it an excellent choice for media consumption, gaming, and multitasking.

The Nord C5, while slightly smaller at 6.77 inches, offers a Full HD+ AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. While it provides vibrant colors and smooth performance, it falls short of the Nord 5’s superior clarity and fluidity. Both devices support HDR10 for enhanced contrast and high PWM dimming to reduce eye strain, making sure a comfortable viewing experience even during extended use.

Performance

Performance is a defining characteristic that separates these two devices. The Nord 5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM. This combination ensures exceptional performance, whether you’re multitasking, gaming, or running demanding applications. It delivers a seamless and responsive experience, making it ideal for power users.

In comparison, the Nord C5 is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex chipset and up to 8GB of RAM. While it handles everyday tasks efficiently, it may struggle with resource-intensive games or applications, occasionally experiencing frame drops or slower load times. For users who prioritize performance, the Nord 5 is the clear choice.

Software

Both devices run on Oxygen OS 15, offering a clean, intuitive, and user-friendly interface. They also come with four years of OS updates and six years of security patches, making sure long-term software support and reliability. However, the Nord 5 includes additional software features that enhance its usability:

  • A customizable “Plus Key” that allows quick access to specific functions or apps.
  • A fully functional always-on display with extensive customization options, allowing users to personalize their experience further.

These added features make the Nord 5 more versatile and appealing for users who value customization and convenience.

Audio

Audio quality is another area where the Nord 5 outperforms the Nord C5. The Nord 5 is equipped with stereo speakers that deliver balanced sound with enhanced clarity and depth, making it ideal for gaming, streaming, or listening to music. In contrast, the Nord C5 relies on a mono speaker. While it is louder, it lacks the richness and immersive quality of stereo sound, which may be noticeable during media playback.

Camera

Both smartphones are equipped with a 50MP primary rear camera and an 8MP ultra-wide lens, but the Nord 5’s camera system is more advanced. It uses the Sony LYT700 sensor, which captures sharper, more vibrant images with improved color accuracy. Additional camera features on the Nord 5 include:

  • A 50MP front-facing camera capable of 4K video recording, ideal for high-quality selfies and video calls.
  • RAW photo format support for professional-grade editing.
  • Long exposure modes for creative photography.
  • Enhanced AI photo editing tools for quick and effective adjustments.

The Nord C5, while capable, is limited to a 16MP front camera with Full HD recording. For photography enthusiasts or users who prioritize camera performance, the Nord 5 is the superior option.

Storage

Storage options vary significantly between the two models. The Nord 5 starts at 256GB of internal storage, providing ample space for apps, media, and files. However, it does not support expandable storage, which may be a limitation for some users.

The Nord C5, on the other hand, starts at 128GB but includes microSD expansion, allowing users to increase storage capacity as needed. This flexibility makes the Nord C5 a practical choice for those who frequently store large files or media.

Battery & Charging

Both devices are equipped with 5,200mAh batteries, making sure reliable all-day usage under typical conditions. They also support 80W fast charging, allowing users to quickly recharge their devices and minimize downtime. However, neither model includes wireless charging, a feature typically reserved for higher-end smartphones. Despite this, the fast-charging capabilities and robust battery life make both devices dependable choices for everyday use.

Choosing the Right Device

The decision between the OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord C5 ultimately depends on your individual needs and budget:

  • Choose the Nord 5 if you prioritize premium performance, a sharper display, advanced camera features, and additional functionalities like the customizable Plus Key.
  • Opt for the Nord C5 if you’re seeking a budget-friendly option with expandable storage, decent performance, and a solid feature set.

Both devices offer excellent value within their respective categories, making sure that you can enjoy a quality smartphone experience regardless of your choice.

ESR Is Redefining Everyday Essentials Smarter with Apple’s Find My – Never lose your valuables again..


Everyday Essentials Smarter with Apple’s Find My

ESR Is Redefining Everyday Essentials Smarter with Apple’s Find My   Never lose your valuables again..ESR Is Redefining Everyday Essentials Smarter with Apple’s Find My   Never lose your valuables again..

As the world’s No.1 brand in MagSafe accessories, ESR has been at the forefront of expanding the Apple ecosystem—most notably within the Find My space. Since Apple opened the Find My network to third-party products in 2021, ESR has consistently brought this powerful tracking technology into everyday accessories. Through years of user-driven development, ESR has built a robust lineup of Apple-certified Find My-enabled products, transforming how people keep track of what matters most and setting new standards for innovative, secure, and seamless integration. It’s all part of ESR’s mission of “Tech Made Easier,” helping users enjoy a more connected and worry-free digital life.

Turning Everyday Essentials into Smart Companions

ESR’s innovation journey began with a sharp market insight: shortly after Apple introduced the AirTag, we analyzed early consumer feedback and identified the top three use cases—keychains, wallets, and luggage. Recognizing that modern consumers seek more than just stylish accessories, ESR set out to integrate smart tracking into daily-use items—making lost wallets, and missing styluses a thing of the past. Rather than creating add-ons for Apple’s AirTag, ESR took a bold step: building Apple-certified Find My technology directly into the products.

Re-imagining the Wallet: World’s First Find My-Enabled Wallet .

ESR Is Redefining Everyday Essentials Smarter with Apple’s Find My   Never lose your valuables again..ESR Is Redefining Everyday Essentials Smarter with Apple’s Find My   Never lose your valuables again..

ESR tackled one of the most common frustrations reported by AirTag users: the bulky “bulge” created when inserting a tracker into a wallet. ESR’s strategic leap into innovative accessories began with the launch of the Geo Wallet Stand with Find My on Kickstarter in April 2023. With MagSafe compatibility and seamless Find My integration, it quickly gained traction—rising to the top of Amazon’s cardholder rankings by June. The product’s success highlighted a strong demand for accessories that combine intelligent features with refined design. As the first magnetic wallet stand to integrate Find My technology after the debut of AirTag in 2021, ESR set a new industry benchmark for smart everyday carry. The Geo Wallet Stand has since earned both the 2024 Red Dot and iF Design Awards, reinforcing its status as a design and innovation leader. Sleek and minimalist, the wallet features an adjustable kickstand, a comfortable grip strap, and space for three essential cards—offering a seamless balance of form, function, and real-time tracking through the Find My network.

Slimmer, Smarter, Safer: Redefining Wallets for the Modern Age

Building on this momentum, ESR further developed the Geo Wallet—the world’s first ultra-slim wallet with a fully integrated Apple-certified Find My tracker. The product launched in 2024 with overwhelming support, attracting over 4,600 backers on Kickstarter and reinforcing ESR’s leadership in this fast-growing category. The ESR Geo Wallet further elevates the user experience by redefining convenience and security in one minimalist package. This ultra-slim wallet—just 7.8mm—is significantly thinner than traditional options that require bulky, external AirTags. By integrating Find My directly into the wallet’s design, ESR has created a streamlined solution for effortless tracking.

Additionally, RFID-blocking technology provides enhanced protection against unauthorized card scanning, making it a smart, secure choice for today’s mobile, privacy-conscious consumers. For more card-carrying capacity, there is the ESR Geo Card Holder. Similar to the Geo Wallet, it holds up to 10 cards, 1 ID in a transparent window, and 3 bills. It has won the French Design Award 2025.

ESR has extended its Apple ecosystem collections beyond wallets. Leveraging insights from customer research, ESR identified that 66% of stylus users had lost their stylus at least once. In response, ESR introduced the Geo Digital Pencil (RRP $29.99 – currently $25.99 with 13% off)—the world’s first third-party stylus with built-in Find My support. Compatible with iPad models from 2018 onward, it delivers up to 12 hours of use on a single 30-minute charge. It is equipped with superior stylus performance with palm rejection and tilt sensitivity. It has earned a 4.8-star average rating on Amazon, with users praising its performance and practical tracking functionality.

These product innovations reflect ESR’s mission: Tech Made Easier—delivering smart, user-friendly accessories that simplify daily life without compromising on style or performance. By combining premium craftsmanship with certified Apple integration, ESR continues to deliver solutions that solve real-world problems and elevate the user experience.

ESR is committed to expanding its Find My-compatible product line to more categories—bringing smart, secure convenience to an even wider range of everyday items. From travel gear to personal tech, ESR is redefining what innovative accessories can do. As the brand continues to grow within the Apple ecosystem, one thing remains constant: ESR’s dedication to innovation that matters—solving everyday challenges with premium design, cutting-edge technology, and user-first thinking.

Geo Wallet Stand ($35.99–$39.99): Full Find My support, RFID blocking (coming August 2025), adjustable stand, finger loop, and magnetic strength up to 3,200g.
