Landing a new job starts with a slam-dunk CV, but Word or Google Docs will only take you so far. In an era of AI-assisted Application Tracking Systems (ATS) where applicants are rejected before a human ever lays eyes on their work experience, the best résumé builders could help you stand out from the crowd. Yes, they'll give your résumé a pretty face with unique templates and attention-grabbing fonts, but résumé builders shouldn't just give you a PDF and send you on your way.

While you don't always have to spend big to get the best tech, when it comes to robot mowers, the pricey Husqvarna Automower 450X EPOS proved to be a cut above the competition (technically, I tested the Husqvarna 410XE Nera (9/10, WIRED Recommends), which is the closest model in the UK and Europe). It employs Husqvarna's EPOS (Exact Positioning Operating System) tech and relies on a satellite connection to navigate your chosen virtual boundaries (no wire required). But you do need to install the receiver in an area with an open line of sight to the sky and, ideally, no tall trees or buildings nearby. Setup involves remote control driving the Husqvarna around your garden to map the virtual boundaries. You can have multiple separate areas and potentially cover an area up to 2.5 acres. I marked out my front and back lawns and simply carried the mower between them.

The best smart locks can help anyone who constantly misplaces keys or who frequently wonders whether they locked the front door. I am in the latter camp. After years in apartments, I recently moved to a large enough house that checking whether the door is locked can feel like a chore, especially once I'm all cozy in bed. Installing a smart lock doesn't mean throwing away your house keys--you probably still want to bring them with you. These locks are all about convenience, offering multiple ways to enter, like a passcode via a keypad, fingerprint scanning, or through an app. You can easily share codes with friends and family, so no need to fuss with crappy key copies, and you can usually set them to auto-lock when the door closes.
