On Tuesday, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Anniversary Edition was shadowdropped onto the Nintendo Switch 2. Bethesda promised this port of the classic 2011 open-world RPG was an improvement on the Switch 1 version. And in some ways, that’s true. But players are disappointed by how it runs and feels, and by all the space it takes up. The original Skyrim on Switch felt like a big deal at the time in 2017. Bethesda getting its ambitious RPG running on Nintendo’s portable hybrid console was wild to see, and it became a solid way to experience Skyrim while on…

“It’s certainly possible that Homo sapiens in Africa had the ability to make fire, but it can’t be proven yet from the evidence. We only have the evidence at this date from Barnham,” said Natural History Museum London anthropologist Chris Stringer, a coauthor of the study, in the press conference.

Like it or not, the checkmark has become an almost universal symbol on most social platforms, even though its exact meaning can vary significantly between services. Now, Reddit, which historically hasn’t cared that much about its users’ identity, is joining the club and starting to test verification for public figures on its platform.The company is beginning “a limited alpha test” of the feature with a small “curated” group of accounts that includes journalists from major media outlets like NBC News and the Boston Globe. Businesses that are already using an “official” badge, which Reddit started testing in 2023, will also…
Although many of us associate it with rally-derived machinery from the late 1990s and early 2000s, these days, Subaru has mostly abandoned its performance cars to concentrate on its true calling—rugged, all-wheel-drive vehicles that are high on practicality, powered by horizontally opposed “boxer” engines. One area where the brand has never particularly excelled has been fuel efficiency, which is where today’s test car, the Subaru Forester Hybrid, comes in. The last time Ars reviewed a Subaru Forester, it left us impressed. How about one with 40 percent better economy, in that case? Now, the 2.5 L flat-four engine operates on…

The company was so worried about the possibility of the upstart chatbot disrupting its Search business, executives sounded a “code red” alert inside of the company and called Sergey Brin and Larry Page out of retirement to help it formulate a response to OpenAI.
