Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ikea's foray into the world of home entertainment is not just an attempt to change the market, but it could also spell an end for that most modern of problems – dastardly cable tangle.
With its Uppleva system – which was announced in April but is out in parts of Europe this month – the master of flat pack is turning its attention to the flat screen, and all that goes with it. Ikea aims to provide all the features of a home entertainment system, but without the fuss – and endless wires – they often require.
A covered passage for the cables comes as a selling point for the new range, which sees the TV and the CD/DVD/Blu-Ray player built into the furniture. Ikea also promises that it can all be controlled with just one remote. And, as anyone who has battled with the three required for many systems will know, this can only be a good thing.
