My boyfriend texted me those dreaded four words: "Is your Spotify down?" Sure enough his, mine and thousands of other users' Spotify accounts appear to be down and out at the moment, with Downdetector recording over 10,000 reports from users. Spotify is apparently working on the problem. The account, Spotify Status, shared an update on X at 9:45 AM on Monday, "We’re aware of some issues right now and are checking them out!" About an hour later, the company shared an update saying that the outage was resolved as of 10:34 AM ET. All clear! Thanks for your patience. If you're still…
As tempting as the Galaxy S25 Ultra may look on paper, all signs point to its successor, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, being the real flagship to wait for.

Back in June, Microsoft was determined to make The Outer Worlds 2 its first $80 game. A month later, it decided that was a bad idea. The tech giant promised not to raise the price of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 either. Was this a temporary reprieve or has Microsoft learned its lesson? The company didn’t commit one way or the other in a recent interview, but it did get briefly philosophical about what a video game price even means in the year 2025. “Our whole focus is on delivering player satisfaction and delivering player value,” president of game…
In recent years, it has faced competition from cheaper Chinese rivals, including Picea, putting pressure on sales and forcing iRobot to reduce headcount. A management shake-up in early 2024 saw the departure of its co-founder as chief executive. Amazon proposed buying the company in 2023, seeing synergy with its Alexa-powered smart speakers and Ring doorbells. EU regulators, however, pushed back on the deal, raising concerns it would lead to reduced visibility for rival vacuum cleaner brands on Amazon’s website. Amazon and iRobot terminated the deal little more than a month after Adobe’s $10 billion purchase of design software maker Figma…
There’s a growing sentiment that gadgets have gotten boring. And while I don’t fully agree, I understand why people might feel that way. Just think about some of the novel device types that companies have tried to push since the original iPhone came out.3D TVs were a massive flop and tablets still feel like extra-large smartphones despite Apple’s efforts to prop them up as laptop replacements. Meanwhile, even with huge technological advancements over the last decade, VR headsets remain relatively niche due to factors like high prices and a lack of compelling content. And although big names like Google, Microsoft,…

Terminator 2: Judgment Day hit theaters in July of 1991, at the peak of an era in which every blockbuster film got a tie-in game or twelve released alongside it. T2 was certainly no exception to this trend, and it arguably fared better than most films in being adapted to video games thanks to its smash-hit light gun arcade game, which used digitized imagery and relentless action to capture some of the movie’s look and feel. The numerous home games it received, however, were largely a disappointment; some of them had interesting ideas, but none pulled off the feat of…
Verizon’s “argument was pretty weak” Roach said he did not consult with a lawyer on his small claims case, instead opting to do it all himself. “The first time I showed up to court for the original date, they asked for proof of the returned mail summons, and I did not have that,” he said. The court hearing was rescheduled. When it was eventually held, the carrier sent a representative to argue against Roach. “Their argument was pretty weak, I guess,” Roach said. “It was basically like, ‘Well, he didn’t pay the two months of service, so we didn’t unlock…
