For the first time, scientists have experimentally shown bonobos (Pan paniscus), our closest living relatives along with chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), can engage in pretend play — something previously assumed to be unique to humans.Just like 2-year-old children can, Kanzi, a unique bonobo who could understand English, kept track of imaginary juice and grapes during pretend tea parties, according to a study published Thursday (Feb. 5) in the journal Science.Although Kanzi, who died in March 2025, did not initiate the pretend play, his ability to follow along shows he had some of the mental building blocks needed to imagine pretend objects…
The Steam Machine is back from the dead. Not as a Valve-supported program for manufacturers to create living room PCs, but instead a home console sibling to the Steam Deck. Valve introduced its second attempt at ruling the living room in a surprise hardware announcement in November 2025, and paired the new Steam Machine with a new Steam Controller and a wireless VR headset it calls the Steam Frame. Since the announcement, as is often the case with Valve, some details remain elusive, however.While we wait for the release of the company’s new hardware lineup in 2026, and more information…
I’m in love with the latest M5-powered iPad Pro, which, by the way, is available with a sweet discount on Amazon right now.

The retailer has dropped…
All told, the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics are estimated to cause the loss of 5.5 square kilometers of snowpack and 34 million metric tons of glacial ice. Without the emissions caused by the event’s three main sponsors, those numbers would be much lower: 2.3 square kilometers of snowpack and about 14 million metric tons of glacial ice.That’s according to a January report from the New Weather Institute, which worked with Scientists for Global Responsibility and Champions for Earth to determine the environmental impacts of the 2026 Winter Olympics and whether or not the staging of the Games was detrimental…
For over a year, buying booster packs of Pokémon cards on the official Pokémon Center website has required either the most extraordinary luck, or a bot. When new stock is added to the site, it very quickly collapses under the weight of incoming traffic, leading to error messages or queues that never resolve. Any who do manage to get in before the site goes down are limited by strict purchase restrictions, except of course for those running the bots that are able to scoop up the stock in milliseconds. So was today’s peculiar decision to bundle the enormously popular Surging…
A welder uses tools that join two or more parts through forces such as heat or pressure. Metals are the materials most commonly used in welding, but it’s also possible to weld thermoplastics or wood. Welders use their hands, skills, and problem-solving abilities to create something new. At NASA, welders use different types of welding processes to assemble spacecraft and rocket components. Welders also put their expertise to work on equipment and facilities that make space exploration possible, such as launch pads, fuel tanks, propellant lines, and buildings where rockets are assembled. Welding can be done in many different ways.…
If you haven’t yet played Alan Wake 2, here’s your chance to immerse yourself in its terrors for free. Prime members can play it this month on Amazon’s Luna cloud gaming service at no additional charge.The “fantastic” Alan Wake 2 oozes “psychedelic terror,” as Engadget’s Jessica Conditt put it in our review. The 2023 horror-survival game uses a dual-protagonist motif, alternating between the lost author Wake and the stoic FBI agent Saga Anderson. It “tells a twisted, serpentine story of paranormal murder, shifting realities and demonic possession, with two brooding investigators at its core.” Not a bad way to sublimate…

Earlier today, PlayStation and Guerrilla revealed Horizon Hunters Gathering, the next entry in the popular post-apocalyptic franchise. But this spin-off is a multiplayer-focused online co-op action game that looks a lot like Monster Hunter meets Destiny. It will receive updates post-launch, and oh, wait, this is a live service game. Oh no, this was a bad time to announce Hunters Gathering. I’m not sure a colorful, cartoonish online-only spin-off of the photorealistic solo single-player open world series Horizon would have been a smash hit with terminally online fans at any point. But right now, of all times, feels one of…
