Apple TV has quietly stumbled onto a pretty good streaming strategy: make great original shows and movies, then occasionally throw some genuinely great older movies into the mix. As part of its latest content drop, Apple TV has added a collection of classic and popular movies that subscribers can watch without paying an additional rental fee. The selection varies by region, but titles spotted so far include Arrival, The Martian, E.T., Gone Girl, Zodiac, Titanic, The Sixth Sense, The Bourne Identity, and Catch Me If You Can. This isn’t exactly filler content What makes this move interesting is the quality…

Think about the last time you actually had your cholesterol checked. If you are like most people, it has probably been years since it usually means scheduling a lab visit and getting your blood drawn. Caltech researchers just built something that could change that entirely — a small stick-on patch that reads your cholesterol and triglyceride levels continuously, using sweat instead of blood. How the sweat patch actually reads your cholesterol Sweat and blood do not share a simple, predictable relationship, so you cannot just measure cholesterol in sweat and expect it to match what shows up in a blood…

Fans waiting for Darksiders 4 and the next Kingdom Come game have finally been given something resembling a release window. Unfortunately, it is a rather large one. As part of its Q1 FY 2026/27 report, Embracer has placed both games in its 2027/28 fiscal-year pipeline, meaning they are currently expected to launch sometime between April 2027 and March 2028. Darksiders 4 is still a ways away Darksiders 4 was announced in 2025, but Embracer has remained fairly quiet about the project since then. The company’s latest plans confirm that it is part of the major releases expected during FY 2027/28,…

Google has launched Gemini 3.7 Flash, and one of its biggest upgrades is going straight to Gemini Spark. The company says Spark is moving to the new model starting today, giving its cloud-based agent better tool use and stronger performance on multi-step tasks. Google specifically points to work such as consolidating files, drafting emails, and updating status documents across Google Workspace. Spark could get a lot better at doing things for you Gemini Spark can already continue working after a laptop is closed or a phone is locked, and it can operate across services such as Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar,…

AI cheating has already gone from asking a chatbot to write an essay to using tools that can make that AI-written work look human. We’ve previously talked about AI tools designed to help students cheat and the growing problem of AI detectors struggling to keep up, as well as how commonly students are already using AI for homework. Now the technology isn’t merely helping students do the work. In some cases, it can effectively be the student. Just tell the AI to take the class According to a New York Times report by Dana Goldstein and Alan Blinder, students can…

The iPhone X and 15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro have officially joined Apple’s obsolete products list, marking the end of official hardware service for two devices that once represented the company’s future. Apple updated its support listings to move both products from its vintage category to the obsolete category. That distinction matters because once a device becomes obsolete, Apple discontinues hardware service for it, while authorized service providers can no longer order parts through Apple. For the iPhone X, the timing feels particularly significant. Launched in 2017, it introduced the design language that would define Apple’s iPhone lineup for years, including…

Netflix has spent the last five years attempting to expand its chokehold on the film and television industry into the video game space, but it’s had limited success. Today, Game File reports that the streaming giant is receding from the gaming world a little more by closing two studios: Moonloot, which had yet to release a game, and Night School, known for its work on Oxenfree and Afterparty. Netflix is also cutting staff from its internal team, though it “declined to say how many jobs were being lost” when speaking to Game File.Moonloot is a Helsinki-based team, founded in September…

Google already made some pretty phones, and the new Pixel 11 Pro series just got even better-looking. Recent Pixel Pro models have been among the most premium Android phones I’ve spent time with, and a few minutes with the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL told me Google is refining the formula even further. The Pixel 11 was a surprisingly compelling base flagship, and the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL continue the strong first impressions. The phones are lighter, the camera visor is slimmer, the screens are brighter, and the smaller Pro finally gets faster…

Even though both Google and Samsung agree that a book-style foldable can replace your tablet while still retaining the best characteristics of a conventional flagship smartphone, they’ve built two very different machines to prove it.  The Pixel 11 Pro Fold leans on Google’s software intelligence and a genuinely rare durability rating, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra leans on raw silicon, a 200MP camera, and Samsung’s most mature multitasking software yet. So, which one is better for you? Let’s figure it out in this detailed comparison between the two.  Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold vs. Galaxy Z Fold 8…

Looking at any premium smartphone lineup, it’s immediately clear that the love, care, and attention went towards the Pro or Ultra models. Base flagship models always have to hit a balance between being approachable and feeling premium. Apple’s iPhone 17 was a great example of this, while the Galaxy S26 was another solid option (despite its various flaws). Google, on the other hand, felt a little behind the competition with the Pixel 10. So during the short time with the Pixel 11, I expected that same reputation–and thankfully, the latest standard Pixel device is more competitive than ever before. It…
