"No grand finale. No final catastrophe. No helicopter evac. Make your peace or your final stand."

In 2025, Apple updated the Mac Studio with the M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips. Apple last year refreshed the Mac mini with the M4 and M4 Pro chips, meaning that the ‌Mac Studio‌ faces a formidable competitor that offers "Pro" capabilities at a substantially lower price point. There are now two desktop Macs and four Apple silicon chip options for users who do not need the expandability of the Mac Pro. The ‌Mac Studio‌ starts at $1,999, overshadowing the $599 starting price of the M4 Mac mini and even ...

The Apple Intelligence features that Apple introduced with iOS 18 are not pushing people to upgrade their iPhones, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reiterated today. Apple's recent Siri failures are also going to have an impact on 2025 iPhone shipments, which the market is beginning to realize. As early as last July, Kuo said expectations that ‌Apple Intelligence‌ could drive ‌iPhone‌ upgrades were likely "too optimistic," and in January, he was even more explicit and said that the appeal of ‌Apple In...

Dear Apple, As you know, your Apple Watch SE is not new. The second generation came out in September 2022 alongside the Series 8 and the first iteration of the Ultra. You’ve given the iPhone, all models of the iPad, AirPods, MacBooks and both the flagship and premium smartwatches updates since then — but not the budget smartwatch. Last month, my editors asked me to see how the Watch SE stacks up in 2025 and I was happy to oblige. I love getting my hands on novel tech, analyzing, evaluating and e...

Though FutureLab's denying the rumours. After years of content updates and DLC, developer FuturLab has today revealed PowerWash Simulator 2. If that wasn't news to scrub up for, it seems like it'll be cleaning its way onto Switch 2. As the name suggests, this is a full-blown sequel to the 2022 clean 'em up (is that a thing?), which will see you blasting the dirt off an entirely new range of mucky memorabilia. This one brings in a new campaign, with bonus locales to scrub, fresh, soapy cleaning e...

For some reason, ZA/UM has announced a mobile version of Disco Elysium, but it'll be exclusive to Android devices, so iOS users are, um, out of luck.

Forestalling any rumors that Netflix’s Devil May Cry might have used generative AI to recreate the voice of the late Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series, the Arkham games), series creator Adi Shankar (Castlevania, Captain Laserhawk) confirmed on X that Conroy recorded his lines before his untimely passing. Shankar may have been prompted to clarify...

Poké-washing.

No. Stop. Don't, come back.

Nobody could have foreseen this.

After being one of the first companies to roll out a Deep Research feature at the end of last year, Google is now making that same tool available to everyone. Starting today, Gemini users can try Deep Research for free in more than 45 languages — no Gemini Advanced subscription necessary. For the uninitiated, Deep Research allows you to ask Gemini to create comprehensive but easy-to-read reports on complex topics.  Compared to say Google's new AI Mode, Deep Research works slower than your typica...

Your digital life can get just as cluttered and chaotic as your "IRL" life if you're not too careful. And if you work remote even some of the time, that can add to the massive amount of online information you're juggling on a regular basis. That's why many of us on the Engadget team have done a lot of trial and error with a bunch of digital tools to see if any of them can help us keep things organized personally and professionally. Thankfully, there are tons of good productivity tools out there ...

The post Free Play Days – The Elder Scrolls Online, Unknown 9: Awakening and Session Skate Sim  appeared first on Xbox Wire.

42 tracks, including six bonuses. Knight Shift Games' Elsie is getting a digital soundtrack release and it's available... now! The roguelite action-platformer in the Mega Man X mould released back in 2024 with Playtonic on publishing duties and Eric Benaim's soundtrack was one of the highlights noted in our 8/10 review. Ollie called it "killer", in fact:

The search for the next James Bond has been raging long before the franchise’s recent sale to Amazon — in fact, it was burning even before Bond’s most recent on-screen appearance in 2021’s No Time to Die. One of the names that has popped up most frequently on lists of potential 007s has been Aaron...

Alienware undercuts the 4K 27-inch QD-OLED competition by $200.

Psychological RPG Disco Elysium is set to come to mobile devices courtesy of original studio ZA/UM in a "reimagined" form.

EA and Hazelight have revealed that co-op platformer Split Fiction has hit another big sales milestone just a week after its release.

Disco Elysium has earned itself a wealth of plaudits, and with good reason. The narrative-led adventure RPG remains a profound achievement in the way it crafts an interweaving network of stats, decisions, and dialogue choices that come together to put your own unique spin on its detective tale. As numerous spiritual sequels shape up for release at other studios, many involving developers who worked on the original game, the new-look ZA/UM reveals that it’s bringing Disco Elysium back in a brand-...

Pokémon Go is celebrating the “Festival of Colors” from March 13-17, bringing the release of shiny Bruxish, as well as tons of other colorful perks with it. Notably, you’ll be able to get shiny Smeargle from the usual Smeargle photobombs, plus you can encounter Smeargle up to 10 times per day. After this event, shiny...

FuturLab has announced PowerWash Simulator 2, a sequel to the 2022 work sim, and it's coming to PC and consoles later this year.

Apple announces updates to its smartphone lineup every autumn, but the company often has a hard time keeping the details under wraps. Ahead of the official unveiling of the iPhone 17, we've already heard quite a few hints about what may be in store. Here's what we know and what we're expecting. When will the iPhone 17 series be announced? Most years, the flagship smartphones are introduced in September. It's a little early to have the specific dates; some years, Apple only gives a week or two of...

The post How PowerWash Simulator 2 is Giving You More of What You Already Love appeared first on Xbox Wire.

It's wild out there. After last week's stellar debut, you might have assumed that Monster Hunter Wilds sales would have slowed down a little in Japan. Slow down they have, but Capcom's latest is still a long way from having its throne usurped. According to Famitsu's latest numbers, Wilds shifted an additional 101,058 on PS5 in its second week, keeping it firmly in pole position. That's despite an admirable effort from Suikoden I & II HD Remaster, which managed to sell 38,884 on Switch and 10,482...

After spending 40 minutes on Tarkir: Dragonstorm, the panel of Wizards of the Coast designers at last month’s MagicCon in Chicago still had a few announcements up their sleeves. The preview event had already shown off a handful of new cards and a glimpse of a familiar dragon-centric story, but these panels are never limited...

The company also tries to frame its scraping as covered by the 'fair use doctrine'.

We've all been guilty of 'I could have done that better.' With the benefit of hindsight we could have avoided two World Wars, saved Pompeii from ruin, and probably brokered world peace by now. If you've ever wondered what the Roman Empire would have been like under your command, then Pax Augusta is perfect for you. Tasked with building your own state that's grand enough to rival the seat of power itself, it takes all of the mechanics of city builders like Cities Skylines and the historical authe...

The Samsung Evo Select microSD card is on sale via Amazon. The 512GB model is down to just $33, which is a record-low price and one heck of a deal. This is the newest iteration of this card, with read/write speeds up to 160 MB/s. It’s worth noting that only the 512GB version is on sale right now, and the other sizes range from $15 for 64GB to $80 for 1TB. We love this thing and it easily found a place on our list of the best SD cards. It offers a ten-year warranty, which is nice, and the price r...

Meta will start testing its Community Notes model, with which it's replacing human fact checkers, on Facebook, Instagram and Threads in the US on March 18. Notes won't appear publicly on posts right away. The company wants to make sure the writing and rating system is working as intended before the notes start showing up for everyone. Things will work in a similar way to Community Notes on X, Meta says, with the idea that users bring extra context to posts that could use more explanation, clarit...
