Apple, in my eyes, ruined an aspect of the smartphone industry a few years back when it popularized the display notch. The company is now trying to revolutionize smartphone displays with the iPhone 20 Pro to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iPhone next year, and apparently, I’m not the only one who’s ecstatic.A return to perfect smartphone displaysLeaked iPhone 20 Pro designs and renders based on said designs show a phone that looks stunning. A borderless display with no Dynamic Island, no notch, or even a punch-hole camera.In a recent poll, we asked you whether you wanted smartphones to…
Rage: MP, a fan-run Grand Theft Auto V multiplayer mod for PC, is shutting down after the devs behind the project announced that Take-Two Interactive had recently “requested” the speedy shutdown of the popular online platform. Now, with the past shuttering of Alt: V in February, the only real way to play online GTA roleplay on PC is via FiveM, a platform created by fans, but now fully owned by Rockstar Games and Take-Two. On May 25, the administrators behind Rage:MP announced “tough news” and confirmed that the mod was shutting down following a direct request from Take-Two. The team…
This spring, a team of top academic and think tank researchers tried to forecast AI’s effects on the economy between now and 2030. They surveyed dozens of economists, AI experts, and “superforecasters” about various scenarios, including one in which AI becomes so advanced that it can both write a “Pulitzer-caliber” book and negotiate its own publishing rights.In the survey, most experts said that higher-ranking occupations—CEO, administrative manager, senior official, legislator—would continue to grow, even under the “rapid” AI scenario. For most other people working a white-collar job, the forecast was murky.Researchers are in broad agreement that AI is doing something…

It’s time to close out May after a rainy Memorial Day here on the East Coast. IO Interactive’s 007 First Light headlines the last wave of game releases for the month, but don’t sleep on two very different upcoming indie games that are making their debut as well. Mina the Hollower is the latest make-or-break, retro-inspired homage from Shovel Knight maker Yacht Club Games. You’re a mouse who burrows underground and whips through dungeons via a mix of Castlevania combat and Zelda puzzles. Then there’s Enter the Chronosphere, a sci-fi turn-based bullet hell roguelike from Effort Star. It has a…
After more than 2,000 hours of government-imposed connectivity blackouts, there were signs on Tuesday that Iran’s internet is coming back—at least at very low levels.Iran’s more than 90 million citizens have been without internet for the overwhelming majority of 2026, between the current blackout that began on February 28, when Israel and the United States attacked the country, and a previous internet shutdown enforced after widespread protests in January. The reconnection appears to have been ordered by officials in Iran’s government—but could only be temporary.Though some Iranian networks appeared to be connecting to the global internet on Tuesday, researchers cautioned…
Apparently, the world’s number two smartphone vendor is looking to fix what’s clearly not broken about its product portfolio, changing the name of the direct sequel to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 to (try to) make a first-of-a-kind device more appealing to the masses… while possibly causing longtime Samsung fans quite a bit of confusion.Why would you want to dilute the “Ultra” brand like that?Look, we all know a name doesn’t make a product successful (as evidenced by everything from Apple’s Vision Pro to the HomePod and AirPods Max), but a bad product can certainly harm a brand that’s…
We’ve been reporting for years on the growing spate of Pokémon card thefts, as the market for the shiny cardboard has ballooned through supply shortages and a scalping free-for-all. But in all the many occasions, we’ve never seen someone complete such a theft using a chainsaw. That’s the allegation (via IGN) against Clayton Warren, arrested in Palm Beach, Florida, and charged with burglary and grand theft, after $12,000 worth of Pokémon cards were stolen from the Collection Realm store in Lake Park. According to local news source WPTV, the owner of Collection Realm contacted the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office toward the end of last…
The world’s leading AI labs are hiring philosophers to think through ethical edge cases and grand questions of mind and morality. Are they another instrument of hype?
The Fitbit Air is Google’s newest and smallest tracker ever, a screenless little pod that costs $99, launches today, and promises to just disappear on your wrist. I wore it nonstop for two weeks, through workouts, showers, and sleep, while a few months deep into getting serious about my own health, to find out if “disappearing” is a feature or a flaw.A tracker with no screen, and that is the whole pointSo here’s the first thing you have to wrap your head around: there’s no display on this thing at all. It’s a tiny pod that sits on your wrist…
