Android 17 is fixing one of the most irritating parts of using your phone, its internet controls. If you’ve ever tried to switch off Wi-Fi quickly and got pulled into an extra menu instead, this update is aimed right at that moment. In Android 17 Beta 3, Google is changing how those toggles work in Quick Settings. Instead of grouping everything under a single tile, the system now separates Wi-Fi and mobile data, so you can manage each one without going through another screen. It’s a small interface tweak, but it clears up a long-standing usability issue that’s been slowing…

Apple has officially discontinued the Mac Pro. It’s been removed from Apple’s website, and Apple has confirmed to 9to5Mac that there are no plans to release a future version. The buy page now redirects to Apple’s Mac homepage, where the Mac Pro no longer exists. Why did Apple kill the Mac Pro? The Mac Pro has had a complicated life. It’s hard to forget the infamous “trashcan” era. In 2013, Apple unveiled a radical cylindrical redesign at WWDC, with Phil Schiller cheekily declaring, “Can’t innovate anymore, my ass.”  It was bold, it was beautiful, but it completely failed to meet…

Apple is reportedly preparing one of the most significant changes to Siri in years, with plans to open its voice assistant to third-party AI services as part of the upcoming iOS 27 update. The move signals a major shift in Apple’s artificial intelligence strategy, transforming Siri from a closed assistant into a broader AI platform that can integrate with competing technologies. A Shift Toward An Open AI Ecosystem According to a Bloomberg report by Gurman, Apple intends to allow Siri to route user queries to external AI assistants beyond its current ChatGPT integration, potentially including services like Google’s Gemini or…

Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish is a first-person action game set in the World of Darkness universe, which also includes franchises like Vampire: The Masquerade. Microsoft opened today’s Xbox Partner Preview with this announcement, revealing Deathwish will hit Xbox Series X/S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud in the Summer of 2027. This first trailer follows a team of hunters out to take down a dangerous vampire masquerading (wink wink) as a police officer while also teasing some of the other locations you’ll explore in the game. If you’ve been gaming for a minute, you might recognize Hunter: The Reckoning, as…

DJI has officially entered the 360° drone arena with the launch of the Avata 360. It’s the company’s first-ever fully immersive FPV drone, and a direct shot at the Antigravity A1, a rival built by an Insta360-incubated brand. Looks like the drone wars just got more interesting.  What makes the Avata 360 worth looking at? Quite a lot. The Avata 360 is equipped with DJI’s 1-inch imaging sensor, capable of recording videos at up to 8K in 60fps, which is already one step ahead of the Antigravity A1, which maxes out at 8K at 30 fps. If that’s not enough,…

Serious Sam is making his return, and this time, he’s not alone. Revealed during today’s Xbox Partner Preview, Serious Sam: Shatterverse is a Spiderverse-inspired take on the first-person shooter, bringing Sams from several dimensions into the same adventure. You can check out the reveal trailer below. Shatterverse features five playable Sams, each with distinct art styles. Since the game is multiplayer, you and up to four friends can play at once, each assuming the role of a different Sam. Classic weapons will return, but they’ll exist alongside new “all-new toys” from the Shatterverse. While previous games in the series were helmed…

This isn’t really news anymore, but it’s a repeating cycle. So, here we are, again. Netflix has just — quietly, mind you — raised the price of its subscription bundles. For starters, the base tier that occasionally throws a few ads in your face now costs $8.99 per month, up from the $7.99 monthly fee. What else is going up? In the natural order of things, “thou shalt pay more to see fewer ads.” Netflix is living by that code pretty seriously. Naturally, it has hiked the price of its Standard and Premium plans, too, ones that spare you the…

Super Meat Boy 3D is set to bring the classic 2D series into the 3D realm, and it looks extremely promising. While we’ve gotten our hands on the title, we haven’t known when we’d finally get to play the full game outside of a nebulous “early 2026.” Thanks to today’s Xbox Partner Preview stream, we now know when the actual release date is, and it’s right around the corner: March 31.Originally announced in 2025, Super Meat Boy 3D is the third mainline entry in the series, but the first to deliver a 3D adventure. The core concept is the same:…

In typical Motorola fashion, the Razr series has leaked once again, and this time we’re getting our first proper look at the Razr 70 Ultra. The renders come courtesy of XpertPick, in collaboration with Steve Hemmerstoffer, also known as OnLeaks on X (formerly Twitter). Is there anything fresh here? The Motorola Razr 70 Ultra isn’t really shaking things up. According to Steve Hemmerstoffer, it’s said to measure around 9.6mm thick, including the camera bump, and about 17.63mm when folded, cameras included. So, don’t expect it to feel any different in hand compared to last year’s Razr 60 Ultra. And visually…
