This year marks the 25th anniversary of the original Xbox, which was launched by Microsoft in 2001. The Xbox name has been used for every generation of the console that followed, with some disagreement about whether the word should be spelled out in all caps. Now, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma is asking players how they spell it: “Xbox” or “XBOX”?Sharma shared a poll on social media about the Xbox branding, and so far there’s a clear favorite. “XBOX” is currently holding a comfortable lead over “Xbox” with approximately 63% of the vote at press time. Just over 7,000 fans have…
Big money and powerful interests have entirely rebranded drugs like cannabis, mushrooms, and ketamine in the 21st century.Today, millions of Americans can buy their pot legally in places that resemble Apple Stores or take powerful psychoactive substances in plush therapeutic settings. Cocaine, however, has yet to see the kind of tech-fueled makeover that changed the public perception of those drugs—but these luxury products in my Instagram feed may just give it a glow-up.Though you might not instantly see them as drug paraphernalia, on closer inspection, many of these products are offering to serve a need that no real person has…
The internet is currently talking about the Galaxy S24, which was released a couple of years ago. No, it’s not because it’s receiving some of the best Galaxy S26 features.

As the pet tech writer here on the WIRED Reviews team, I’ve tested over 100 pet-related products, including automatic pet feeders, pet water fountains, and pet cameras. The one brand I keep buying for myself—and recommending to friends and family with pets—is Petlibro.Petlibro dominates the game when it comes to high-tech, seamlessly designed automatic feeders and pet fountains. Most of their products have a connected app to make pet parenting easier, whether you’re near or far. Where most pet tech falls flat, with poorly translated or confusing directions and over-crowded, buggy apps, Petlibro shines. Petlibro makes it easy to monitor…
When is it a better idea to go for the Galaxy S26 Plus than its slightly bigger and more sophisticated Ultra brother? How about when the 6.7-inch handset is sold at a heftier discount than the super-premium 6.9-incher?You might need to hurry if you want to slash 235 bucks off the $1,299.99 list price of an unlocked S26+ in a 512GB storage configuration with no strings attached, as this unprecedented Amazon deal has just improved on the e-commerce giant’s previous $200 and $175 markdowns and could thus go away or get a downgrade at any moment. Samsung Galaxy S26+ $235…
Epic Games is giving the Zero Build version of Fortnite Battle Royale a massive makeover on May 14, with the last major update in Chapter 7 Season 2. Among Epic’s many new additions are a new utility slot exclusive to Zero Build, glider re-deploy at any time when jumping off tall objects, and unlimited sprint when your pickaxe is out–and you’ll no longer die from fall damage. These are some pretty fundamental changes that are likely to significantly alter the flow of battle in Zero Build. This is the first time since it was first introduced in 2022 that Zero…
If you think you’re seeing more birds around your neighborhood right now, it’s not a coincidence. Spring is one of the busiest times of the year for bird activity. Not only are migratory birds returning to their nesting sites, but local birds are building nests, looking for mates, defending territories, and hunting for prey that’s just starting to emerge post-winter. If you’re interested in seeing all this activity up close, there’s no better way than with a smart bird feeder. I test these devices year-round for WIRED, and Birdfy’s models are consistently among my top picks for hitting the sweet…
iPad Air models keep getting more and more appealing at Amazon. Yesterday, I saw an epic 29% discount on the 11-inch model with an M3 chip. But that’s not the best promo, in my opinion, as the e-commerce giant has just turned its predecessor into a total no-brainer.Let me give you all the details. For a limited time, Amazon is selling the option with a huge 1TB of storage for 40% off its original price. Even better, the iPad Air M2 comes with cellular connectivity. Normally, you’d have to cough up nearly $1,250 for this particular variant, but this deal knocks…
