PCWorld reviews Bunny Ears TV, a new Apple TV app that transforms your Plex Media Server library into 24/7 streaming channels with cable-like navigation. The app creates up to 26 themed channels from personal video collections, offering ad-free channel surfing with DVR controls and customizable features. Despite some usability issues and bugs, it provides an effective alternative to ad-heavy free streaming services for $3/month or $30 lifetime. While lots of free streaming services offer lineups of live TV channels to flip through, they all have the same problem: You're not in control of the content, and you're constantly interrupted by ads. A new app called Bunny Ears TV aims to solve those problems with help from Plex Media Server. If you have an Apple TV box and your own collection of movie or TV files in Plex, Bunny Ears TV can spin them into dozens of round-the-clock streaming channels with practically no effort. It's a neat app that mimics the channel surfing of cable using your own content, but unlike with cable, there are no commercial breaks.

PCWorld tested numerous USB-C cables using a Treedix tester and found half performed poorly, with many offering only basic USB 2.0 data or limited power delivery despite appearing high-quality. Testing revealed significant performance variations between cables, helping identify which ones support fast charging speeds like 100W-240W and high-speed data transfer capabilities. The audit process helped declutter cable collections, improve charging efficiency, and promote eco-friendly disposal of unusable cables through proper recycling. USB-C has been one of the best innovations for convenience and compatibility, but it also means that my bag of cables and plugs is now a tangled mess of confusion. I don't know which ones are for data, which are for charging, or how fast each one is.

Birds' nests of fiber-optic cables show war's impact on Ukraine Yana Hrynko, senior researcher of The National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War, shows a bird's nest made with fragments of optic fiber, which was found by a Ukrainian service member on the front line and then passed to the museum in Kyiv on June 23. Kyiv - Woven from fiber-optic cable and grass, a small bird's nest found near the front line of the war in Ukraine shows how the more than 4-year-old conflict is reshaping the natural environment, researchers say. Areas along the 1,200-kilometer front line are covered with ultrathin fiber-optic cables, which are used by Ukrainian and Russian troops to guide aerial attack drones to make them impervious to electronic jamming. The cables, which can stretch for 20 km, lie tangled in trees and scattered across fields and on the rooftops of towns in Ukraine's frontline regions, glistening in the sunlight like giant spider webs. Birds have begun repurposing the discarded cables to weave their nests, says Yana Hrynko, a senior researcher at Kyiv's War Museum, cautiously examining two delicate nests the armed forces sent to the museum from the front line. "Objects such as bird nests with fragments of optic fiber demonstrate the change in the nature of war," said Hrynko.
