Quick-time events, despite everyone’s best efforts to spice them up, remain pretty meh.When you first begin Dispatch, the new episodic superhero adventure game from AdHoc Studio, you’re asked if you want to enable quick-time event prompts as an optional game mechanic. It says something that these QTE prompts only really appear in the first and last episode of Dispatch’s eight-episode run. But if you’re worried the only input you’ll have in Dispatch is pressing a button at the right time, or picking the different narrative choices that affect the game’s story, you should know AdHoc has a more compelling, non-optional…

Belkin just introduced the appropriately-named Charging Case Pro for Nintendo Switch 2 at CES. This is a high-end charging case specifically designed for Nintendo’s latest console.The 10,000mAh power bank delivers up to 30W of fast charging, which is a decent enough metric. I’m more excited, however, about the bells and whistles. The Charging Case Pro boasts an LCD screen on the exterior, making it easy to keep track of remaining battery life. It also doubles as a tabletop stand, which is always nice. The built-in Switch 2 stand is better than what we got , but it’s still not the…

The world is a mysterious place, which gives Live Science plenty of fodder for our popular Life’s Little Mysteries series that runs every weekend. We’ve been writing mysteries since 2004, and we still haven’t run out of weird things to cover. Each mystery comes with a multitude of facts, like which animals are evolving the fastest and why Australia has so many venomous animals. Honestly, we could go on, but we’d have to link to our thousands of mysteries. So, for your geeking-out pleasure, we’ve pulled out 50 of the most impressive facts here.1. Until the 1960s, researchers thought people…

Samsung is arguably the 800-pound gorilla of CES, since many of the other consumer tech titans — Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon — either no longer have a presence, or have never shown up to begin with. In the past, that’s given Samsung free range to bow a full spectrum of products that range from phones and computers to refrigerators, AI assistants and rolling robots. But for CES 2026, the company is switching things up a bit: Instead of its longtime midday Monday press conference, the Korean giant will take the lead of the show with a Sunday night presentation.Over…

The fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex is perhaps the most iconic dinosaur that ever lived. Ever since the discovery of the first T. rex fossil in Hell Creek, Montana, in 1902, this gigantic predator — with its terrifying teeth and strangely tiny arms — has fascinated people of all ages, and played a starring role in books and films, including the Jurassic Park movies, as well as taking pride of place in museums around the world.Yet, our picture of how this dinosaur looked and lived has changed markedly thanks to more than a century of scientific discoveries. Think you know everything there…

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, with over 3 billion users. But its ubiquity also makes it a target for attackers. In December, security researchers documented a new form of account hijacking called GhostPairing, which sees users tricked into linking an attacker’s browser to their WhatsApp device.Meanwhile, in November, Austrian researchers plugged billions of numbers into WhatsApp’s contact discovery tool to create “the most extensive exposure of phone numbers” ever—along with profile photos and more.WhatsApp is protected by end-to-end encryption, the gold standard of security that, when implemented properly, means only you and the…

Using the Govee app, you can design visuals for it “with up to eight distinct layers of motion, color and shapes.”Govee Ceiling…

Glacial earthquakes are a special type of earthquake generated in cold, icy regions. First discovered in the northern hemisphere more than 20 years ago, these quakes occur when huge chunks of ice fall from glaciers into the sea.Until now, only a very few have been found in the Antarctic. In a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters, I present evidence for hundreds of these quakes in Antarctica between 2010 and 2023, mostly at the ocean end of the Thwaites Glacier — the so-called Doomsday Glacier that could send sea levels rising rapidly if it were to collapse.A recent discoveryA…

If you’ve been on the fence about trying the sort of “AR glasses” that, until recently, were called “personal cinemas,” then check this out. Xreal has turned up to CES 2026 with an updated version of its entry level Xreal One glasses, first launched at the end of 2024. The new model, dubbed the 1S (yes, with a numeral rather than the word) gets marginally better specs and $50 knocked from the asking price.If you’re unfamiliar, One is a wearable spatial display that connects over USB-C to any compatible device including smartphones, tablets, laptops and consoles. It has two teeny-tiny…

Think of protein bars as grab-and-go snacks, not meal replacements. They’re most helpful when whole foods aren’t available or when your schedule won’t allow for a proper meal. The most beneficial sources of protein come with fiber, healthy fats, and other nutrients. (That’s why registered dietitians recommend whole foods over ultra-processed alternatives.) So, while high-protein snacks may boast impressive counts on the label, they’re not always the healthiest option.After consulting the nutrition experts about key ingredients to look for (and what to avoid), we’ve rounded up the best protein bars that meet those standards. For more tips on protein, check…
