NASA is opening a two-hour window for its lift off, starting at 6:24 PM Eastern time, at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The agency said the forecast for launch day “shows an 80 percent chance of favorable weather conditions” and that, on March 31, its engineers had finished critical health checks on the Space Launch System rocket that the mission will use.

The Fallout TV show remains one of the biggest video game adaptations so far, and at this point we could argue it's the most critically successful one too. Prime Video's global audiences seem to agree, as we've just learned over 83 million people have (at least) watched parts of Season 2.

The Swiss robotics engineer behind a commercial case that adds USB-C to Lightning iPhones has now built a reverse version: A case that adds a fully functional Lightning port to the iPhone 17 Pro. Ken Pillonel describes the project as a tongue-in-cheek response to reader requests, and says he has no plans to sell it. "It's part hack, part mod, and one of the most cursed things I've ever built," he wrote in the video description, "Be careful what you wish for." The build involved designing custom ...

Apple was founded on April 1, 1976, meaning the company is officially 50 years old as of today. To honor the occasion, we have reflected on some of Apple's biggest moments of each decade, from the 1970s through to the 2020s. Apple has an extensive history, so this list is far from comprehensive, but it captures some of the pivotal events over the company's first 50 years. 1970s While the Apple-1 was released in 1976, it was the Apple II in 1977 that became the company's first successful, mass-ma...

Somebody get this man a Pikmin. Miyamoto has spoken on many occasions about his love of Pikmin and how there is effectively no restriction on where they can appear. We've seen them pop up in Mario Wonder, on the back of football shirts, and even at Nintendo's theme parks, and their global expansion is set to continue. Speaking to IGN recently, Miyamoto has reiterated how it's his "mission" to try and get Pikmin in any kind of Nintendo product he can.

But he'll always give Pikmin the spotlight. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie goes beyond the Mushroom Kingdom and introduces a whole new cast of characters. As we now know, there'll also be characters that aren't even from this particular Nintendo universe. It's led to discussion once again about a possible "Smash Bros.-style Nintendo Cinematic Universe" movie, so what are the chances of it actually happening?

There is always a risk with a live service game, or any game with only competitive elements, that it enters the Cool For Some Zone. This is a space that exists within a given game and also around it, a place where you can pull off Sick Tricks as a result of movement tech not purposefully included in the game, but born as an incidental result of mashing buttons in just the right way. And until today, Marathon found itself in said zone, but Bungie have made the call to patch out the offending issu...

Against all odds, A24’s adaptation of The Backrooms actually looks like a proper elevated horror movie. Hell, it’s even got Oscar winner Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave, Serenity) and Cannes favorite Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value) onboard. Judging from the film’s fist trailer, which combines The Backrooms creepypasta-born dread around liminal spaces, and A24’s slick horror aesthetic, you couldn’t tell that its director can’t even legally drink in the US yet. Yes folks, Kane Parsons is jus...

As pretty (and ugly) as the Resident Evil games have become over the years, there is a quality to the original PS1 entries that lingers on in the hearts of many. That'll likely be partially down to the permanently raised heart rates of kids playing them too young everywhere. But I think the thing that endures in the ever popular PS1 aesthetic in the indie horror scene is that nasty griminess that just feels so at home. And Vultures - Scavengers of Death, a turn-based, extractiony take on Residen...

In a letter shared with Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Tesla admitted that its robotaxis are sometimes driven remotely by human operators, Wired reports. Competing self-driving car companies sometimes rely on human operators to tell robotaxi software how to get itself unstuck, but letting operators actually drive those cars remotely is more unusual. "As a redundancy measure in rare cases … [remote assistance operators] are authorized to temporarily assume direct vehicle control as the final esca...
