We've still got about a month until Apple's WWDC 2025 event, but that hasn't stopped the rumors from flying about potential iOS 19 announcements. Today brings a new one from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who reports that Apple is working on a new AI-driven battery management feature for its next operating system update. According to his sources, Apple will use AI to analyze iPhone usage trends and make adjustments to the power draw of different apps to better conserve battery on the device. iOS 19 wi...

Difficulty Slider Fixed is a must-install mod for me now.

Ticketmaster wants you to know it's "all in" on up-front pricing. In a blog post published on Monday, the company triumphantly declared that it's "putting fans first" and including fees in the first price you see for a ticket. Not mentioned in Ticketmaster's announcement: An FTC rule requiring that exact change just so happened to take effect today. The FTC's bipartisan junk fees rule was finalized in December. It requires live event ticket vendors, hotels and rentals to "tell consumers the whol...

Nintendo will let Switch 2 owners opt into a setting that stops their system’s battery from charging once it reaches “around 90%” as part of an effort to preserve the system’s battery life. Nintendo revealed the new feature in its Nintendo Today app Monday. “The Nintendo Switch 2 system stops charging when it reaches about...

Nintendo will include an optional battery preservation mode with the Switch 2, which the company revealed via its Nintendo Today! news app. This will cap the console's charge as it approaches 90 percent and then maintain it at that amount. Why do this? It's to keep the battery in tip-top shape. Rechargeable lithium batteries can degrade if kept in a fully-charged state. So the feature will let users sacrifice 10 percent of playtime for ongoing battery maintenance. That seems like a fair tradeoff...

Room for more. Just when you thought that the Nintendo Today! app had showcased just about every facet of the Switch 2 that we could possibly hope to see, the Big N pulls out yet another reveal. Today, it's all about the console's fancy new charge settings and how they're working to keep batteries healthy for longer. As highlighted in the app, Switch 2 will feature a new 'Stop Charging Around 90%' option in the system settings. As the name suggests, this feature will slow the console's charging ...

The battery mode will be able to cut the power draw of...

The Paper, a new spin-off of The Office set at a small Ohio newspaper, will premiere exclusively on Peacock in September, according to a post from the streaming service's X account. Considering NBCUniversal's streaming service has mostly existed as a dedicated The Office and Parks & Recreation rewatch tool, this is a pretty big get. The new series "features the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch," but this time looks at a different industry — in this case, journa...

If you love the spaceship combat of No Man’s Sky and the thrill of the (loot) chase in games like Destiny 2 or Diablo, then Everspace 2 is probably ‘dream game’ material. While it forgoes PvP dogfighting or co-op boss blasting for a super tight single-player experience, it’s got plenty of content to keep you entertained. Now, it’s got even more. Its latest DLC expansion, Wrath of the Ancients, has arrived, expanding Everspace 2’s narrative, galaxy, and lineup of ships.

There's still room in my heart for the assassin sim AC1 was set up as, someone just needs to make it.

The iOS 18.5 update that Apple released today includes a security fix for the iPhone 16e's C1 modem, which is the first Apple-designed modem. According to Apple's security support document for iOS 18.5, there's a fix for a vulnerability with the C1 modem. Apple says that it addressed a baseband security flaw that could allow an attacker "in a privileged network position" to intercept network traffic. Basically, a hacker that had access to cellular network infrastructure could potentially exploit...

The Anker 321 MagGo magnetic battery pack is on sale for just $22 via Amazon. This is a discount of 15 percent. This is a limited-time deal, however, and the sale ends when the stock runs out. Anker makes good stuff, as evidenced by another MagGo-branded item topping our list of the best power banks. While this one didn't make the list, it's still a great entry-level battery pack for the budget-conscious. It magnetically attaches to the back of a smartphone, thus the name, and is available in mu...

A mousehold name. Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 has been accused of not being especially revolutionary, which is mostly fair. It’s more of an evolution of a concept that works rather than a vast departure, but that doesn’t mean it’s devoid of ideas. The big kahuna of new additions in my eyes is the mouse controls, allowing for a veritable feast of mouse-controlled goodness to potentially be developed. But those of a slightly greater vintage may well be aware that this isn’t Nintendo’s first go at...

The NBA is making its debut on Peacock this fall and it should be an "exciting and inclusive streaming experience," according to NBCUniversal. It should also bring a few changes as NBC has announced new features including Instant Game Access and Performance View.  For starters, users can watch games instantly with the Live in Browse feature, meaning the match will start right on Peacock's homepage. There will also be real-time information on display. Peacock will also offer a Catch Up option for...

Researchers at VUSec have revealed what they're calling "Training Solo", a set of security issues across Intel and Arm CPUs that sound pretty annoying and serious.

There are games with steep learning curves, and then there are Paradox Interactive games. Equally part glorified-spreadsheets and part history simulators, Paradox games ask and offer a lot to their players. Known for their depth, replayability, robust modding communities, and ever-expanding downloadable content libraries, these games are now available for huge discounts as part of...

Apple pushed iOS 18.5 on Monday. The most eye-popping new feature is a new wallpaper to honor the LGBTQ+ community ahead of Pride Month. Apart from that, the iPhone update isn't exactly a barnburner, with only minor features and bug fixes. Apple's Pride Harmony wallpaper has bold, colorful stripes that change position as you move, lock or unlock your device. You can find it in Settings > Wallpaper or by long-pressing on your lock screen. If you're an Apple Watch owner, you'll find a correspondin...

Where is A Minecraft Movie streaming online? It may not be an official statistic, but we think A Minecraft Movie has gone down as one of the most chaotic and raucous cinema releases of all time. Popcorn was thrown, “Chicken Jockey!” was screamed aloud, and even real chickens were smuggled into theatres. We can understand why you might want to watch at home. First off, if you’re looking to stream the crafting game adaptation at home, be careful choosing who you watch it with if you want to keep y...

Valve have launched the latest mini festival, this time it's a Creature Collector Fest bringing in lots of games that get you to collect little monsters in some form.

Hands off! A new video posted to the Nintendo Today! app reveals the the upcoming Switch 2 can be completely locked with a PIN. In a similar manner to smart phones and tablets, you can apply a PIN to prevent others from waking the console from sleep mode and playing without your permission. It's not known whether you can adjust the number of digits required, or if it's just a bog-standard 4-digit PIN, but either way, it's a neat little security measure.

The James Webb Space Telescope, NASA’s successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, has captured new images of the auroras at Jupiter’s north pole. These massive auroras, caused by charged particles crashing into Jupiter’s atmosphere, are hundreds of times brighter than our own Aurora Borealis, and, for the first time, we can now see them in greater detail thanks to these new images. Auroras on Earth are caused by solar storms, which occur when charged particles from the Sun collide with our upper a...

The high-octane racing film F1 hits theaters this June and there's a brand-new trailer to prove it. The new footage shows more of the story and gives a deeper dive into Brad Pitt's main character. There's still gobs of actual Formula 1 racing, as the movie has received extensive involvement from the organization. It looks fast, frenetic and fun. There's also plenty of product placement during these scenes, which may be annoying to some but could add to the realism for others. In addition to F1 s...
