Review: X-Sense Smart Smoke Alarm Kit keeps your home safe
The X-Sense Smart Smoke Alarm Kit FS31 comes with one base station that needs to be plugged in and three battery-powered alarms that can be placed anywhere in the house.
All are then connected via 2.4GHz wi-fi to your phone and the X-Sense app, which is well though out and very easy to use. This also means you can monitor your home from wherever you have an internet connection.
If any of the alarms get triggered you will receive an instant notification, and a powerful alarm sound from all four devices, so no matter where you are in the house you will here them.
You can test your alarms straight form the app, so no more climbing up ladders! You'll also get notifications of low battery warnings or any faults detected.
The family share feature is also one of the best things about the system, which allows 12 family members to control the device.
And you can add to it anytime as well, as the base station ca support up to 50 devices, be that smoke detectors or other alarms that monitor carbon monixide or heat.
I found the FS31 really easy to set up and simple to keep tabs on. The battery warrnings, easy test routine, and shareability of the devices impresssed and meant I could sleep safer at night.
What users say
"The manual does not tell you how to link two phones to system. You cannot both use the same account and password as it will automatically log out one phone. After a bit of searching found a post on the internet and set up two accounts that are linked so now both my and wife's phone get the alerts."
"Compact, light-weight - quick to setup! Tested well, links to the smart app without difficulty. Thankfully haven't had a need to test them in a real-world scenario yet, but I've got every faith they'll do the job."

Elon Musk says he plans to sue Apple for not featuring X or Grok among top apps
Billionaire SpaceX, Tesla and X owner Elon Musk says he plans to sue Apple for not featuring X and its Grok artificial intelligence chatbot app in the top recommended apps in its App Store. Mr Musk posted the comments on X late on Monday, saying: 'Hey @Apple App Store, why do you refuse to put either X or Grok in your 'Must Have' section when X is the #1 news app in the world and Grok is #5 among all apps? Are you playing politics? What gives? Inquiring minds want to know.' Advertisement Grok is owned by Mr Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI. Hey @Apple App Store, why do you refuse to put either 𝕏 or Grok in your 'Must Have' section when 𝕏 is the #1 news app in the world and Grok is #5 among all apps? Are you playing politics? What gives? Inquiring minds want to know. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 11, 2025 Mr Musk went on to say that 'Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation. xAI will take immediate legal action'. He gave no further details. There was no immediate comment from Apple, which has faced various allegations of antitrust violations in recent years. Advertisement A judge recently found that Apple violated a court injunction in an antitrust case filed by Fortnite maker Epic Games. The opening page of X is displayed on a computer and phone (Rick Rycroft/AP) Regulators of the European Union fined Apple 500 million euros (£431.8 million) in April for breaking competition rules by preventing app makers from pointing users to cheaper options outside its App Store. Last year, the EU fined the US tech giant nearly two billion dollars (£1.4 billion) for unfairly favouring its own music streaming service by forbidding rivals like Spotify from telling users how they could pay for cheaper subscriptions outside of iPhone apps. As of early Tuesday, the top app in Apple's App Store was TikTok, followed by Tinder, Duolingo, YouTube and Bumble. Advertisement Open AI's ChatGPT was ranked 7th.

Can an AI chatbot of Dr Karl change climate sceptics' minds? He's willing to give it a try
There's arguably no face, voice or collection of exuberant, patterned shirts more recognisable than those belonging to Dr Karl Kruszelnicki. The bespectacled boffin has been answering curly listener questions about science, with characteristic excitement and passion, for more than 40 years. Despite a seemingly tireless work ethic, Kruszelnicki, now 77 years old, can't be everywhere all at once. Those questions now come in waves, across social media platforms at all hours of the day. 'Sometimes I get 300 requests a day on Twitter to answer an involved question about climate change,' Kruszelnicki says. Particularly on X (formerly Twitter), he says he would often engage with users who don't believe climate change is real or urgent. He hoped there might be a way to change the minds of this group of people, who he says have been bombarded by misinformation in places such as the Murdoch press for the past 30 years. After speaking with longtime friend and technology journalist Leigh Stark, the pair settled on an idea: an AI-powered Digital Dr Karl. Using a large language model (LLM), they're creating a chatbot designed to sound like Kruszelnicki that provides users with evidence, backed by trustworthy sources, that the climate crisis is caused by humans and is an urgent problem to solve. 'I cannot answer all the questions by myself and people want questions answered. The only way I can do it is develop this digital AI,' he says. Kruszelnicki's achievements as a science communicator are unparalleled: in Australia he's considered a National Living Treasure, he won the Unesco Kalinga prize, he wrote dozens of books and is the one and only Julius Sumner Miller Fellow at the University of Sydney, a position he has held since 1993. He believes AI can help convince those who don't believe in the severity and causes of the climate crisis – even if there are outstanding questions around the ethical use of AI, its training data, accuracy and its own environmental impacts. 'I think with climate change, we are at a stage where the perfect is the enemy of the good,' he says. 'We're certainly not going to become unethical or become like the forces of evil.' Digital Dr Karl runs on an open-source LLM developed by Mistral, a French company considered one of Europe's challengers to OpenAI and Google. To create Digital Dr Karl, Stark has taken Mistral's base model, then trained it on a corpus of Kruszelnicki's climate science resources acquired through his own research for his own books and writing on climate. It includes academic papers, consensus statements and original articles from publications including the New York Times, the Guardian and RenewEconomy to build out its knowledge, just like the real Kruszelnicki has. 'This is an AI that's been trained on the 40,000 PDFs I've gathered over the last 40 years,' he says. Stark says questions over copyright are valid, and he would like to ultimately have the chatbot trained exclusively on data, but says 'we're not at that point yet', emphasising 'this is beta, this is really early stuff' and the intent is to build something 'based solely on data'. Taking the Guardian through a demonstration of Digital Dr Karl, Stark reveals the AI interface is similar to ChatGPT, and users can type in a single query about climate change to kickstart a conversation. Stark types in 'climate change is a hoax' and the Digital Dr Karl replies a few seconds later in a stilted and tonally inconsistent recreation of Kruszelnicki's voice. It wants to know if we are suggesting climate change 'is a fabricated idea'. We are only able to answer yes or no. We respond yes, at which point the AI quotes Barack Obama on the effects of climate change. As the conversation continues, Digital Dr Karl displays data, such as graphs showing atmospheric carbon dioxide over the last 170 years. But it also seems to mix metaphors and 'hallucinate' (the terminology used in AI research for 'make up') some of the numbers for atmospheric carbon dioxide rise. Stark describes the AI as both an 'alpha' and 'beta' version, and he is working to improve the AI voice, but expects Digital Dr Karl will release this in October. Kruszelnicki says he has already spent $20,000 of his own money since February to develop the AI: 'This is purely philanthropic – I do this because I see this as my duty, in return for 16 years of free university education that I received.'

He will also deliver 100 TikToks, one a day, alongside the project and each one will push people to his Digital Dr Karl, Stark says. After 100 days, the pair will switch off their AI and 'work out what the fuck just happened'. At that juncture they will do a survey with the hope that the result is that 'more people are open-minded and believe in climate change', says Stark. Kruszelnicki says they're just 'trying to do the Mark 1' and will see what they find before deciding whether they go on to a Mark 2. There are some hints about what could happen. Mounting evidence – academic and anecdotal – suggests LLMs can influence emotion, opinion and belief. In September 2024, a study in the journal Science showed conversations with a chatbot could reduce participants' belief in their chosen conspiracy theory, including everything from the Kennedy assassination to the illuminati, by around 20% on average. The effect persisted for two months after the conversations took place. Thomas Costello, assistant professor of psychology at American University and lead author of the Science study, says the AI is persuasive because it can rapidly access and strategically deploy information in conversation. 'The back and forth is useful because [reasoned] dialogue and debate is excellent at surfacing the crux of disagreements and kicking the tyres of each side,' he says. Costello has also co-authored another study, yet to be peer-reviewed but available online, suggesting a similar effect is seen when AI models, tailored to respond to specific concerns from a user, address climate scepticism and inaction. One of the key elements though, is that these AI agents are not based on any real person, and to shape belief, users must be willing to engage in conversation. But even if Digital Dr Karl can change minds, it contains the same outstanding issues as other LLMs. Kruszelnicki and Stark hope to alleviate the concerns around AI's environmental impacts. 'We'll run the website entirely off solar panels and you don't need a lot of energy,' says Kruszelnicki. Stark says Digital Dr Karl is running off a very small amount of computer memory on a $12,000 Mac and it theoretically can run on renewables. 'If we can get several of these computers running off of a solar battery or basically solar panel and a large battery, then we can effectively run this on renewables.' However, with more users, Stark says scaling it could be a challenge – he expects up to 2,500 people will be accessing Digital Dr Karl at any time. 'We're going to be keeping an eye on it, on every response that it makes,' Kruszelnicki says. 'And if it goes bad, we'll pull the plug.'

I tried Fujifilm's X-Half– the film-inspired camera that's transformed my Instagram feed
We review Fujifilm's new X-Half camera, designed to give you film-filtered images at the touch of a button I'm someone who edits every photo I take. I can't help it, whether it's a shot of a beauty product I'm trialling for work or a snap of my gorgeous baby nieces, I'm straight into my Tezza app, tweaking contrast and slapping on a filter until it looks magical. But recently, I've been feeling a bit burnt out on phone photos, and I've wanted to go back to taking a camera out with me to capture moments (more for curated Instagram snaps, rather than full Facebook albums this time, though!). My aim was to find something that takes high-quality photos but isn't intimidating with 45 different dials. The Fujifilm X-Half promised all of that, and, spoiler alert, it delivered. Designed to mimic the feel of classic half-frame film cameras, the X-Half shoots pictures and videos vertically in a 3:4 format, perfect for Instagram, Reels and anything TikTok-friendly. It's tiny, super lightweight (240g) and the retro styling makes it feel more like a fashion accessory than a camera, in the best possible way. It only launched in June, but I'm already predicting it's about to be the 'it' camera for influencers and content creators. But don't let the aesthetic fool you because this little thing has some hi-tech features. It has a 32mm F2.8 (35mm equivalent) prime lens that's wide enough for everyday shooting and Fujifilm's signature Film Simulation modes that give you dreamy, vintage-style edits without needing an app. My favourite modes were Classic Chrome for a slightly faded, moody look and Velvia when I wanted my greens and blues to punch. There's also a film roll mode that lets you shoot a certain number of photos and only see them after they're 'developed' in the app. I'll be honest, I haven't used that setting much, but it's a really fun option. You also get Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for easy image transfers to your phone, a touchscreen LCD and a little manual-style lever on the top that you wind for 2-in-1 photos. It's not necessary, no, but it's definitely a fun feature. My verdict on the X Half Pros Vintage, tactile design Film Simulations look effective straight out of the camera Perfect vertical format for socials Good quality images for social In-camera 'film roll' mode adds nostalgic charm Compact and lightweight Easy film shooting Easy to get to grips with the shooting modes after a bit of practice You can send images to instax™ Link series smartphone printers Cons Fixed lens – no zoom No RAW shooting On the pricier side at £699 It doesn't come with a charger, which is disappointing for the price Battery life isn't amazing if you shoot a lot Shop for £699 on Argos I've been using the camera for a couple of weeks now, and I'm amazed to say I haven't used an editing app since I got it. I love how my images look, and it's really made me fall back in love with photography again. Is the camera perfect? No. The lack of zoom was a big downer for me, but I got over it fairly quickly. I also do think it should have come with a charging cable and plug for the price, but I did have a compatible wire already, so it wasn't a deal-breaker for me. Would I recommend it? If you're a professional photographer or love shooting RAW and getting technical, this probably isn't for you. If that's the case, I'd recommend you go for something like Canon's EOS R50, £619– great for beginners to intermediate users who want a stylish step up from smartphone photos with solid video specs. But if you're like me, someone who loves capturing everyday moments, wants better quality than your phone, and loves a bit of retro charm, the X-Half is a joy. Pop it on your Christmas or birthday wish-lists, you won't be disappointed!
