Scientists have identified three new toad species that give birth to live “toadlets” rather than laying eggs.All three species are part of the Nectophrynoides genus, also known as “tree toads,” which is a group known for birthing live baby toads that skip the tadpole stage. Previously thought to be one species with a large population and habitat range, these smaller, more fragmented species may require additional conservation measures, researchers wrote in a new study.”Live-bearing is exceptionally rare among frogs and toads, practiced by less than 1% of frogs species, making these new species exceptionally interesting,” study co-author H. Christoph Liedtke,…
One year ago this week, Sony launched one of its most expensive video game consoles ever: the PlayStation 5 Pro. The company promised improved performance and visuals over the standard PS5 as well as DLSS-like upscaling. And while some games definitely benefit from the power, I’ve mostly forgotten I even own a PS5 Pro. When Sony announced the PlayStation 5 Pro last year, it received a mixed reception. While some were excited to have a more powerful console that could run games at higher framerates, many weren’t convinced it was necessary. And then Sony showed everyone the $700 price tag,…
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are trying something a little different with Pokémon Pokopia. It’s a life sim game in the vein of Animal Crossing.

Nor did Nintendo discuss more details about Pokémon Pokopia, other than to indicate the cartridge will be a Game Key Card (no game…
While the Beats Pill used to be a common sight around parties and campfires, it slowly fell out of favor as bluetooth speakers with better battery life and more advanced features hit the scene. In 2024, Apple decided to update the Pill, and it was a big jump in terms of catching up, or even passing the competition. That updated model, with bigger sound, more longevity, and a raft of mobile-focused features, is marked down by $50 at both Amazon and Best Buy, bringing the price down to just $100.Photograph: Ryan WaniataPhotograph: Ryan WaniataPhotograph: Ryan WaniataBeats speakers and headphones have…

Comet 3I/ATLAS lovers don’t despair: Our favourite interstellar visitor most likely didn’t just explode, an expert says after examining the latest observations.Yesterday (Nov. 10), Futurism reported that comet 3I/ATLAS may have broken into pieces after re-emerging from behind the far side of the sun. The science and technology website quoted the blog of Harvard University astrophysicist Avi Loeb, who calculated that the comet lost a lot of mass based on a 3I/ATLAS image captured by two small telescopes in Spain on Sunday (Nov 9).However, Loeb’s assessments of 3I/ATLAS have come under increased scrutiny in recent days. He was once again…
First, I’m telling you to stop exploiting the ledge grab in Arc Raiders, and now I’m telling you to stop obsessing over something that probably isn’t worth your attention. Sorry to be “mom” here, but I’m pretty sure the Hidden Bunker mystery in Spaceport isn’t really a mystery at all. Read More: Arc Raiders’ Ledge Grab Exploit Is Bad, Actually Each map in Arc Raiders will see various timed events come and go.

This year’s Galaxy S-related rumors are extra spicy – to the point of being chaotic and messy, as I’ve pointed out recently.Right now, there’s a fresh rumor making the rounds that the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra will come with a slightly larger punch-hole camera than the one on the S25 Ultra. What’s more, that could very well turn out to be the largest punch hole in any Galaxy S Ultra unit so far.At first, that sounds like a step backward – nobody’s exactly cheering for bigger holes in their screens, right? – but the word is that Samsung might be…
