Regardless of device, each product in this year’s lineup emphasizes three key features: AI-enhanced convenience, better connectivity, and stylish modern designs.

This innovative product eliminates the need to transfer clothes between machines. It features a 7-inch AI Home LCD touchscreen, making it easy to control cycles and settings with a drum capacity…

More than 25 years after its original release, Hayao Miyazaki’s action epic Princess Mononoke is back in theaters across North America. The movie is currently playing on more than 330 screens and earned $1.2 million in previews ahead of its official release on March 28. That box office success led Chance Huskey, VP of distribution for GKids, to release a statement celebrating the film’s success. “In a time when technology tries to replicate humanity, we are thrilled that audiences value a theatrical experience that respects and celebrates Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli’s masterpiece in all its cinematic hand-drawn glory,” Huskey said.

Table of Contents Table of Contents Big names on the Mac Waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 Over to you, Apple Assassin’s Creed Shadows has launched on Mac, PC and consoles, and while we gave it something of a mixed grade in our review, I find it a lot more interesting as a Mac gamer than someone else might.

This year, Apple delivered a couple of surprises, in addition to the expected chip upgrade. You now get twice the storage for the same ask,…

Despite numerous efforts to save and/or revive the brand over the years, most people have accepted that Blackberry phones have gone the way of the dodo. However, a Reddit post suggests a UK-based startup is quietly working to resurrect the Blackberry Classic and more where the last attempts from Onward Mobility failed. Reddit user u/coldheartedsigma shared the news to the Blackberry subreddit, but couldn’t provide the brand or show the complete design as they had “signed an NDA.” The post didn’t share much information, but it did mention specs including 5G, an AMOLED display, and 12GB of RAM with either…

I know, I’ve talked a few times about how awesome the RX 9070 XT is, and it’s certainly the best of the bunch, but just look at the state of things. Even that “value” buy in 2025 is out of stock everywhere and the alternatives are even worse. And it shouldn’t be rewarded. I probably shouldn’t be telling you this. DigitalTrends makes…

Dolby’s near ubiquity is a testament to its technological innovation and masterful…
