The iPhone 18 Pro might miss out on the same “feature” that the iPhone 17 Pro did: the option to purchase it in the color black. If true, it’ll continue Apple’s slight nudge towards encouraging users to buy the iPhone Air instead, leaving the Pro models for actual professionals who need the hardware.No black color for iPhone 18 ProAccording to a recent post (translated source) by an industry insider, the iPhone 18 Pro might be skipping a black color option next year as well, just like the iPhone 17 Pro did. This is hardly a dealbreaker for most consumers, but…

South Korean game studio Shift Up recently posted a developer interview video to celebrate the third anniversary of its RPG Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. And as reported by Automation Media and ThisIsGame, during this video, the studio’s director Hyungsuk Yoo took a hard stance against “hateful expressions” in the popular RPG, saying: “We will never tolerate anyone intentionally inserting hate speech into NIKKE or approaching the game with that mindset.” However, the devs don’t directly mention what this is in reference to in the video; it’s very likely an attempt to address a controversial situation involving a piece of art…

A California-based startup’s controversial plan to put 4,000 tennis-court-sized mirrors in orbit around Earth is “catastrophic” and “horrifying,” astronomers warn.Reflect Orbital, which was founded in 2021, has recently taken the first step in a scheme to sell sunlight at night by bouncing solar rays off giant “reflectors” that can redirect the vital resource almost anywhere on our planet. By doing this, the company aims to extend daylight hours in specific locations, thus allowing paying customers to generate solar power, grow crops and replace urban lighting.But experts say it is a wildly impractical plan that should never get off the ground.…

Cozy Gaming AccessoriesCourtesy of PluflPlufl Human Dog Bed for $275: The Venn diagram of cozy gamers and those who enjoy nesting is probably closer to a circle than you’d think. The Plufl human dog bed is supremely comfortable thanks to its memory foam sides and base, and its plush machine-washable cover. I find it the perfect place to curl up to game for hours at a time, and there’s room for snacks and plushies too. I wish the footprint were smaller, but I’m still willing to sacrifice space for it, which should be a testament to how comfortable it is.MoonPod…

Yes, ladies and gents, Thanksgiving is still almost four weeks away, which means Black Friday 2025 is technically exactly four weeks away, but that doesn’t mean you absolutely have to wait until then to start or even end your holiday shopping for this season. That’s right, you can already take care of most (if not all) of the Christmas gifts you need this year without breaking the bank… as long as all your close friends and family members are interested in technology, and you choose carefully from our latest lists of top week-ending deals and steals grouped by several key categories.These…

I have a decade-old, non-smart Vizio TV in my home office that’s been with me for four moves, and I think it’s time that she retires. It still runs fairly smoothly with a Chromecast providing all the smarts, but if I could upgrade to a similarly sized 4K smart TV at a good price, I wouldn’t say no. My biggest limiting factor is size: with the limited space I have in my office, I can’t go bigger than a 43-inch TV. I’m eyeing a few at the moment, including ones from Samsung, Roku and Vizio, so we’ll see what kinds…

One of Borderlands 4‘s most overpowered weapons, if not the most OP, is a simple Throwing Knife with a Penetrator augment. It boosts your chance of critical hits and makes it easy to melt bosses in the process. Gearbox Entertainment has been trying to nerf the player-favorite “crit knife” for weeks but it keeps messing up, and now it’s back with a vengeance. Back when the game launched, the Penetrator augment increased your crit chance to 100 percent for five seconds. With the right loadout, that was more than enough time to completely deplete even some of the biggest enemy…

Question: how much performance is enough performance? If you ask Apple, the answer’s always “Not nearly enough!” as its latest iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) once again moves the goalpost even further for both raw power and efficiency. That’s due to the brand-spanking new Apple M5 chip, which is also making a cameo inside the latest MacBook Pro, so we get proper desktop power inside a device that you can watch TikToks on. Apple has also introduced some other important upgrades to the hardware that also greatly aid the performance, but the bottom line is as clear as day once again: the latest iPad…

A little-known company based in Boulder, Colorado, is pursuing an ambitious, borderline outlandish goal: creating the world’s largest airplane. When completed, the incredibly long 108-meter plane (roughly the length of an NFL football field) is expected to have a wingspan of over 260 feet and could offer 12 times the cargo space of Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. It would also be roughly 1.5 times the size of the largest commercial airplane currently in operation. But you won’t find any cramped airplane seats or flight attendants carts…
