Monday is upon us like an unwelcome hangover, but rather than pull the covers over your head and pretend it’s not happening, why not embrace it and start the day with a large breakfast-sized serving of tech news and features.
If you were offline having fun with friends and family (or just taking care of chores) over the last two days, then you’ve missed a whole bunch of stuff. Luckily for you, we’ve put it all together in one handy list. We know, we’re too kind.
All you need to do is make yourself a coffee and put your phone on silent until you’re ready to face the week proper.
