Modern tech gifts might not be ready to work straight away - are you ready for Christmas morning?
Congratulations: you've outdone the chip shortage and conquered the crowds, or maybe Santa's due to be very good to you. Either way, you've got some new technology under the Christmas tree.
That said, lots of things now have built-in rechargeable batteries, and that brings its own checklist. Not being able to use a new phone at the breakfast table because it's tied to a wall socket in another room is not ideal, and neither is running out of power on a game controller because it only had 10% charge coming out the box.
Phones packed in factories several months ago won't have the latest security patches, and even smart home tech like streaming boxes and smart plugs can need to update their internal software.
