For decades, a diabetes diagnosis has relied largely on measuring blood sugar and seeing whether it crosses a clinical threshold. But researchers increasingly worry that approach misses millions of people already progressing toward disease.Globally, diabetes has become one of the defining health crises of the modern era. According to the World Health Organization, 14 percent of adults were living with diabetes in 2022, up from 7 percent in 1990. In the US, more than 40 million people have diabetes, but around 11 million remain undiagnosed. More than 115 million Americans are estimated to have prediabetes, and roughly 80 percent do…

Usually when you tell someone that something in a video game grossed you out, it’s something gory or nasty. Mixtape‘s big gross-out moment, however, doesn’t come from violence or illness, though it might give you a violent illness if you’re sensitive to slimy sounds and the awkwardness of inexperienced makeouts.  Early on in Beethoven & Dinosaur’s new music-driven narrative adventure, music curator and soon-to-be New Yorker Stacey Rockford is reminiscing with her friends about high school. Stacey likes to tie moments to songs, and when she finds a mixtape given to her by an old “flame” named Colin, she remembers…

More than a decade since its debut and five years after Google acquired it, the Fitbit app is officially rebranding as Google Health. As part of the transition, Google also announced plans to sunset the 12-year-old Google Fit app later this year, though details about migrating user data to Google Health will be released in the coming months.Google introduced a dramatic redesign of the Fitbit app last year in public beta, centered around a new AI-powered Health Coach chatbot that can provide guidance on anything and everything from your health to fitness, even parse your medical records. Now, the Health…

I really wasn’t expecting the positive reviews for Mortal Kombat II, due in theaters May 8. Its most recent “Let’s Fuckin’ Go” trailer suggested something that looked so far beyond campy schlock that it would surely be the sort of colossal flop that develops into a cult favorite. But instead, with reviews now out, it’s sitting at a very respectable 73 percent on Rotten Tomatoes! But this hasn’t stopped producer Todd Garner from launching into a disgusted rant on X over how clueless all the critics must be. “Some of these reviews are cracking me up,” begins the producer behind movies like Paul…

The Air is not meant to stand on its own so much as serve as a data collector within Google’s expanding health software ecosystem. (The company also rebranded the Fitbit app to “Google Health.”) Built on Gemini, Health Coach is the brains of the system, promising personalized guidance based on your habits, goals, and biometric data. Rather than simply displaying stats, Google Health Coach translates them into actionable recommendations. It can generate workout plans, suggest recovery windows based on strain and readiness, and analyze sleep disruptions. It’s meant to provide ongoing coaching that evolves alongside your routine.Despite its stripped-back exterior,…

It’s been over a decade since BioShock Infinite came out, and the studio behind it, Irrational Games, was closed. Then, in 2019, 2K Games announced that a newly formed studio called Cloud Chamber would handle the creation of BioShock 4. Six years later, it’s still MIA. What went wrong? “I think finding the right creative purchase was hard, as it turns out,” Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently told Game File. “I think we, in retrospect, wasted a lot of time and money chasing down some creative alleys that turned out to be dead ends.” He didn’t go into what exactly…

No one likes the feeling of insect repellent. I have vivid memories of being sprayed down with the stuff as a kid before venturing into the woods in northern Minnesota on family vacations and feeling like chemical warfare was being waged on all of my senses. I was willing to endure it because being covered in mosquito bites is even worse. Wearing repellent can save your life, protecting you against West Nile virus and Lyme disease, just to name a few of the pathogens mosquitoes and ticks can pass on.“Insect repellents are designed to affect insects’ senses and prevent them…

DJI has unveiled its latest smartphone gimbal, the Osmo Mobile 8P, with a new feature that should greatly benefit solo creators. It now includes a detachable remote control with a screen that lets you capture video remotely when there’s no one else around to hit the “record” button. It also features DJI’s latest tracking tech that will help you keep your subject centered in the frame, even in a crowd of people.  DJI’s Osmo Mobile 8P is a more professional version of the Osmo Mobile 8 that arrived late last year. On top of smoothing out action video shot with…

It seems the U.S. Supreme Court does have a limit after all. It might be happy to kowtow to Trump’s mercurial whims over women’s bodily rights and tearing up the Voting Rights Act in aid of racism, but when it comes to not being able to buy Fortnite V-Bucks on an iPhone, those nine bastions of the law took a brave stand. Reuters reports that the Supreme Court has refused Apple’s appeal over a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that the company was in contempt over a previous District Court judgment (bear with me) that it had to more easily…

Photograph: Julia ForbesLike any Sleep Number smart bed, the ComfortNext Lux offers 100 firmness levels, and the one you select is your “Sleep Number,” or the firmness you prefer to sleep on. I usually skew toward firmer for lumbar support and weight distribution, which has previously been in the 40 to 50 range. Then, a new recommendation popped up in the app—my firmness level was in the mid-70s, but going softer could improve my sleep score, which Sleep Number calls its “SleepIQ score” and reports in its app. I decided to lower it to a much softer firmness level of…
