It’s an exciting year for Amazon’s Kindle lineup. Not only has the company released faster and brighter versions of its classic monochromatic e-ink readers, but it’s changed the game with a new Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition — the first-ever Kindle with a color screen. While the Kindle Colorsoft is tempting, there aren’t many other reasons to upgrade to one of the 2024 monochrome editions if you already have a recent Kindle model — unless you’re passionate about the new Matcha finish. However, Kindle e-readers have been around for years and tend to have a lot of staying power. That’s long enough…
January 1, 2023. That is when the final episode of Yellowstone season 5, part 1 aired. It’s been a long time since the Dutton Family has been on Paramount Network, but their hiatus will end in November with the premiere of Yellowstone season 5, part 2. With filming underway, the Yellowstone cast and crew released a special featurette, taking fans behind the scenes of the upcoming episodes. Everyone involved in the sneak peek reiterated the same two points: the break between parts 1 and 2 has been too long, and the cast is ready to release new episodes. “It brought me to tears,” Luke…
Apple’s foray into the XR wearable segment may not have stirred the same kind of success that it tasted with the likes of the iPhone or the Apple Watch, but the company is still moving ahead with future iterations. While plans of a cheaper headset may have been pushed, the Vision Pro could get a successor within a year, or so. In the latest edition of his PowerOn newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes that Apple might introduce the second-generation Vision Pro headset somewhere between Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. That window puts the official reveal in roughly the same frame…
Range Rover, the brand made famous for its British-styled, luxury all-terrain SUVs, is keen to show it means business about going electric. And, according to the most recent investor presentation by parent company JLR, that’s all because Range Rover fans are showing the way: Not only was demand for Range Rover’s hybrid vehicles up 29% in the last six months, but customers are buying hybrids “as a stepping stone towards battery electric vehicles”, the company says. As proof, JLR says there are already 48,000 pre-orders for the Range Rover Electric, the brand’s first fully electric vehicle to be launched before…
AMD’s new Ryzen 7 9800X3D is already one of the best processors you can buy. It delivers productivity and gaming gains across the board, though not in equal strides. Despite the improvements AMD made, the last-gen Ryzen 7 7800X3D is still potent competition, particularly when it comes to gaming. These are two of the go-to gaming CPUs right now, and although the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is newer and faster, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is still the right CPU for most people. That becomes clear when you look at the main focus of these CPUs — gaming performance — and how…
On today’s You Asked: Is the Hisense 110 UX really the brightest TV ever made? How do you make sure your TV is doing the upscaling rather than your Blu-ray player? And – the big one this week – do older TVs like CRT and Plasma TVs actually have better color than modern TVs? Is the Hisense 110UX really the brightest TV ever made? Frank Lujan writes: I would like to know what version of Calman software you used for the Hisense 110 UX review, as well as the meter that can reach those nit levels (18,000)?For the test, I…
It’s fair to say that Joker: Folie à Deux did not receive the same kind of warm reception as its predecessor. The movie was a flop both critically and commercially, and now, one of the actors who appeared in the film is publicly trashing it. Comedian Tim Dillon, who has a small role in the film, recently called it “the worst film ever made” during a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. “I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot of talk like, ‘Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of…
Guillermo del Toro is one of the best filmmakers of his generation, and he’ll probably go down as the only Best Director winner at the Oscars to take home that award and Best Picture for a love story between a woman and an amphibious male. That movie was The Shape of Water, in case you were wondering. Del Toro loves making fantasy and horror movies, and he’s made several, including Hellboy, Crimson Peak, and even Blade II. But the one Amazon Prime Video movie that you have to watch in November is del Toro’s most personal work to date, Pan’s…

After a long and tumultuous road, the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch is finally in sight. Yellowstone season 5, part 2 returns with six new episodes starting very soon. Since the last episode aired in January 2023, Yellowstone has been in the news, mostly for reasons behind the camera, with the biggest storyline being the departure of Kevin Costner as John Dutton. Regardless of Costner’s status, Yellowstone remains as popular as ever and will become a ratings monster over the next month. It begs the question if more seasons of Yellowstone will be commissioned.That’s enough about the unknown future. Let’s talk about the present, which begins with the…
