Rivian has once again defended its controversial decision to skip Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but this time the company says the future of in-car technology is moving beyond smartphone mirroring altogether. According to Rivian’s software leadership, rapid advances in artificial intelligence could soon make the entire CarPlay debate irrelevant. The comments come as Rivian continues expanding its own AI-powered vehicle software ecosystem instead of adopting Apple’s popular in-car platform. For years, the company has faced criticism from buyers who wanted CarPlay support, but Rivian now believes AI assistants will eventually replace many of the functions drivers currently rely on…
Beats has new over-ear headphones coming, but the company itself didn’t announce it, neither did Apple. The reveal comes from an 18-year-old Barcelona forward arriving at Spain’s World Cup training camp. Lamine Yamal posted photos and a video on Instagram (which garnered over 1.8 million likes) showing him walking into camp with a pair of unreleased Beats headphones in pink. Where did these headphones come from? The headphones aren’t a complete surprise for us. A week before Yamal’s Instagram post, a new pair of over-ear headphones appeared in a US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database. For those catching up, it’s…
Running a galactic empire in Stellaris is an arduous task. One bad war, an economic spiral, or one neighbor with a suspiciously large fleet can turn a promising save into a slow-motion disaster. You may want to fix a mistake, or maybe even want to test a build. And sometimes, you just want to see what happens when your empire suddenly has more alloys than sense. This is where Stellaris console commands come in. These cheats let you add resources, finish research, control empires, spawn ships, trigger events, or bend the galaxy in ways the normal game usually won’t allow.…
Motorola has done something unusual. Before officially unveiling the Edge 70 Pro+ on June 4, 2026, in India, the brand had published all the specifications, pictures, and other marketing material related to the phone on its website. It’s all there, before the launch, leaving nothing for the rumor mill to speculate about. And it isn’t accidental, because the landing page hasn’t been taken down. It just says that the product is currently out of stock while revealing everything else. What does the Edge 70 Pro+ offer? The handset features a 6.8-inch AMOLED panel capable of achieving a peak brightness of…
Samsung’s smartwatch health tracking has never really suffered from a lack of data. If anything, the problem has been the opposite. Galaxy Watches already collect data on heart rate, sleep patterns, body composition, and activity metrics, but much of that information ends up buried in graphs that most people glance at once and never revisit. That may finally be changing. According to a post shared by tipster TonySamsunglove on X, Samsung is preparing to launch the first beta version of One UI 9 Watch. From tracking your health to interpreting it For years, smartwatch makers have competed on how much…
Rust is the kind of survival game where choosing the right server matters almost as much as choosing the right weapon. This also reflects on the platform of your choice. If you’re you’re friends are spread across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, you’ll want to know exactly who can play together before anyone starts building a base. The answer to the question is simple in one way and annoying in another. Rust supports crossplay between PlayStation and Xbox players, but PC players cannot play with console players. So yes, there is cross-platform support, but only inside the console version of the…
Apple Music has spent years proudly standing apart from Spotify and other streaming rivals by refusing to offer a free listening tier. That stance may not change just yet, but a newly discovered clue suggests Apple could be experimenting with different subscription tiers for its music service. The discovery comes from developer Aaron Perris, who spotted new strings inside the beta version of Apple Music for Android. Among them are references to “premium access” and an error message that appears after a user reaches a track-skipping limit. On their own, the strings don’t tell us much. However, they paint an…
The Mac mini has had a comfortable run as the go-to compact desktop for professionals who want serious performance in a small form factor and an affordable price. Acer is making a direct play in that space with the Veriton RA110 AI Mini Workstation, a compact desktop that runs on AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, aimed at the same desk-bound professional who wants power without the tower. What makes the Veriton RA110 worth paying attention to? The key spec here is the processor: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. It brings a 50-plus TOPS neural processing engine alongside Radeon graphics…
Overcooked 2 is a great game to play with friends, provided everyone is ready for the shouting that comes with it. One person is trying to chop vegetables, another is panicking over burning rice, and someone else has probably fallen off the edge of the map with the only clean plate. Naturally, it works best when the whole group can jump in together. But that gets a little confusing if your friends are spread across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Overcooked 2 has been released on several platforms, but cross-platform support depends heavily on which version of the game…
In 2026, the smart glasses conversation is mostly dominated by a handful of names: Meta, Samsung, and Google. There are other companies that already have products in the market, but they might not have thought about competition from this PC and laptop brand that has suddenly entered the market.I’m talking about Acer. The company has quietly dropped two pairs of glasses ahead of Computex 2026, and neither of them looks like an experiment. What can Acer’s wired AR headset do? Out of the two smart glasses, the AR Vision GR0 is the more immersive one. It connects to your phone,…
