We live in a digital world, and while that makes our lives much easier, it also brings with it the cons, such as scammers, frauds and other criminals looking to steal from us all, or gain valuable access to our private information. While there have been many ways in the past to try and combat these crooks, a new technology has just been developed that not only helps fight and block frauds from happening, but also helps you gain a positive reputation online so that you also don’t get blocked from things you want to do. Dennis Weiss is the founder and mastermind behind new technology platform IPQS and he spoke to FHM exclusively one-on-one about everything we need to know about fighting back against scammers, bots and frauds in…

History has a habit of repeating itself, and trends long thought dead always make their way back into popular culture. So it’s actually no surprise that vinyls are back in force, more popular than ever. For true audiophiles out there, vinyls offer a warmer sound to their favorite music, dropping the soulless sound of digital streaming for the more engaging sound of their favorite licorice pizza. But a great vinyl record is nothing without a great record player and fortunately, there are loads to choose from in 2022. Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB This record player is perfect for anyone looking to get into the vinyl records realm. From its near perfect plug and play setup to its detailed sound, the AT-LP120XBT-USB is the perfect choice. But just because it’s a record player…

An affair should be, I assume, a combination of lurid lust, scintillating sex, frenzied fantasy, and riotous risk. The pulsing of the typically in and out experience, with secrecy secured by perhaps a preference for a backdoor entry, requires an energy that needs a ready supply of ─ literally and metaphorically ─ fucking fuel. So, what are the best sources of immediate power for the prolonged periods of physical passion? What ingredients will complement the comings and goings whilst simultaneously supporting the stiffness of the endeavor? What is the calorific value of a climax? There was only one place to start my investigation – with the psychology and physics of fucking. Trawl the internet and you will find list upon list detailing why people engage in affairs. As an academic…

The Mokka returns Not that you’d easily recognize the new from the old, such is the metamorphosis that Opel has undergone in a bid to lose some of the former’s chubbiness and replace it with toned athletic muscle. It looks like it might be championing some form of next-generation EV architecture. Simply put, the Mokka immediately makes a bold statement in a mosh pit of new contenders, all separated by very fine details. Does it still have its German roots? Far from it. In fact if you dare trace the Mokka’s ancestry you need to look far and wide through the Stellantis Group. To create the Mokka, mechanical recipes and digital know-how from all corners have been combined and while that has inevitably led to some core dilution of the…

Such an absolute honor to have you on FHM! What are you currently working on?  Currently, I am working on my goals and my dreams. Because it is only you who can make them come true. What is your idea of a really good time?  I think the best time is when you feel comfortable. It doesn’t matter place or income. You can be happy in the park reading a book if that’s what makes you happy. Or you can read the same book in the Maldives if a park doesn’t meet your expectations. I would say my good time would be reading in a park, good company, and tasty food. Top 3 best moments of your career? First, I was very happy with my bachelor’s degree interior design, second that…

In the days of hundreds of tv streaming services, gaming consoles and podcasts, it’s easy to forget that one of the oldest mediums of entertainment is still going strong. Reading has been a favored pastime for hundreds and hundreds of years now and it’s not going anywhere if these following amazing books of 2022 are anything to go by. Life Between the Tides-Adam Nicolson Historian Adam Nicolson dissects all aspects of marine life to make stirring observations about crustaceans, humans, and the world in which we all live in this deftly reported book. In Life Between the Tides, Adam Nicolson investigates one of the most revelatory habitats on earth. Under his microscope, we see a prawn’s head become a medieval helmet and a group of “winkles” transforms into a Dickensian…

Having often reflected upon my own sense of Britishness I must confess that I am still wholly confused as to why, on the one hand, we appear to have had such an influence on the rest of the world yet, on the other, have ─ in my humble opinion ─ excruciatingly maintained a set of values that hark back to the Victorian era; let me qualify this observation. The English language is the global dialect of business with 1.75 billion people able to speak it to a useful level, according to the Harvard Business Review. That’s nearly a quarter of the world’s population. In our infamous history, we have occupied umpteen countries, and at its height the British Empire was the biggest territory ever, stretching across a tad under twenty-five…

Honda has slipped off its meds again. A run of fairly numb, economical SUVs that place driver enjoyment right at the very rung of the engineering ladder seemed it would continue indefinitely. Then Honda does an unexpected U-turn and shows the world why it’s still a force to be reckoned with when it comes to building a hot hatch. Honestly we weren’t sure there would be a new Civic Type R. Firstly it’s extremely niche and sells a fraction of what VW manages to do with the GTi – blame the manual shifter and toothy styling. And secondly, recent Hondas are perusing an EV direction, far removed from the turbo charged unit hiding under the bonnet of the new Type R. So we breathe a sigh of relief that the…

Before the crazy times of lockdowns and worldwide pandemics, there used to be a massive multi-day gaming show called E3. It was the premier event for all things gaming, often seeing massive announcements from the big three platforms, shock console announcements, and Keanu Reeves. Sadly that all changed when the entire world changed. Although the conference might not be back in physical form, there was an unofficial slew of publisher live streams announcing their biggest games at what became known as Not-E3. Sure it might have lacked the pageantry and drama of the actual E3 event, but it did not hold back on some massive new game announcements. Here are some of our favorite games announced for the near future. Stray Let’s be honest, the majority of us wish we…

When it comes to fast, extreme pickups its usually skunkworks companies like Hennessey at the forefront but rarely does a manufacturer ramp up the insanity like Ford has just done with the F-150 Raptor R. That’s right, a 700hp terrain blaster straight off the factory floor and ready to cause havoc on the school run and every back road. In markets where the F-150 isn’t sold, the new Raptor is what many would consider potent enough. It packs a 3.0-litre V6 twin turbo petrol with similar blueprints to the one installed in the rear end of a Ford GT, but detuned to 290kW. Still, it claims to hit 60mph/h in under six seconds. It is all the bakkie you’ll ever need but that hasn’t stopped Ford from unleashing the F-150…
