Apple TV makes excellent shows that somehow never break into the mainstream conversation the way Severance or Ted Lasso did. These three picks all share that frustrating pattern, stacked with critical praise, loved by the people who found them, and still criminally underwatched. Between them, you get a mystery comedy, a sweeping historical drama, and a sharp workplace sitcom, which is proof that Apple’s range goes way beyond its biggest hits. If you’re looking for something genuinely great that flew under your radar, start here. We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on…

Apple’s next iPhone may not get a dramatic RAM upgrade, but it could receive just enough extra memory to keep its growing AI ambitions running smoothly. According to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e are expected to move from 8GB to 9GB of RAM, primarily to support deeper Apple Intelligence integration in iOS 27. Just enough RAM to keep Apple Intelligence happy In a post on X, Kuo says Apple’s latest supply chain checks indicate that the A20-powered iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e will feature 9GB of RAM, up from the 8GB found…
DuckDuckGo has built its reputation on privacy-first search, but this week, its AI assistant landed in hot water for an entirely different reason. Apparently, Duck.ai confidently claimed that U.S. President Donald Trump had died of rabies earlier this month, complete with fabricated details about Vice President JD Vance, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and fake supporting news reports. None of it was true. A fake Reddit campaign managed to fool Duck’s AI According to Futurism, the bizarre response wasn’t the result of a single hallucination. Instead, it appears to have been triggered by a coordinated misinformation campaign originating from Reddit’s r/poisonai…
Legendary boxer Marvin Hagler once said, “It’s difficult to get up and do roadwork at five in the morning when you’re sleeping in silk sheets.” While this refers to getting rich through combat sports and therefore losing the work ethic you once had, the notion could also be applied to EA Sports and its lack of competition. The Madden franchise, with its NFL exclusivity, has long drawn the ire of fans for a perceived lack of innovation due to its monopolization of the NFL video game space, and after spending many hours with EA Sports UFC 6, I’m starting to…
Netflix’s password-sharing crackdown isn’t over just yet. The streaming giant is now rolling out another change that could make shared household accounts a little more cumbersome, this time by asking every profile on an account to have its own email address. While the move isn’t designed to stop families from sharing a subscription, it does add another layer of identity verification that many users probably weren’t asking for. Netflix wants every profile to have its own identity As spotted first by CordCuttersNews, Netflix has begun introducing profile-specific email addresses, allowing each user on a shared household account to link their…
The latest joint by Doinksoft, makers of fun, quirky titles like the Metroid 2-inspired Gato Robato and action platformer Gunbrella, is back at it with this unexpectedly engrossing auto-scrolling action game. As one of three starting characters, you’ll blast through barrages of incoming enemies either as a wizard lobbing magic orbs, an axe-tossing barbarian, or a dagger-throwing rogue. Being forced to constantly move forward due to the auto-scrolling and tricky enemy patterns makes survival challenging, especially since the run-based structure means starting from scratch with each failure.However, unlocking various upgrades, such as imbuing weapons with elemental damage, faster attacks, or…
Most screen-comfort tools work by changing color temperature. Apple’s Night Shift makes the screen warmer, often giving everything an orange tint. Paperman is an interesting alternative because it adds a subtle paper-like texture over the display instead. The app is available for Mac and Windows, and it is designed to make a screen look closer to paper, matte glass, or an e-ink display. It softens the harsh contrast and reduces the glossy look of modern screens during long reading or writing sessions. A texture layer for your screen Paperman runs as a lightweight overlay across the desktop. It does not…
Nintendo can be a bizarre company, but the saga of Star Fox 2, its development, and eventual release, is arguably the strangest way Nintendo has ever released a video game. Following the success of the 1993 Star Fox, development on a sequel began fairly quickly. The game was reportedly 95 percent complete and nearly ready for release, but Nintendo decided to shelve the game and focus on the upcoming Star Fox 64. And it lived on that shelf for about 20 years until it was included in the SNES Classic Edition, the miniature Super Nintendo console that included a collection…
Artificial intelligence has already helped write code, discover drugs, and generate videos. Now, it’s trying to make a better burger. Researchers at Stanford University have unveiled BurgerAI, a new AI system that designs burger recipes by balancing taste, nutrition, sustainability, and cost. The surprising part? In blind taste tests, diners liked some of the AI-created burgers just as much as, and in some cases more than, a popular fast-food burger. BurgerAI is designed to invent recipes, not copy them According to Stanford, BurgerAI was trained using more than 2,200 burger recipes to understand how different ingredients interact. Rather than predicting…
