When the credits rolled at the end of Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu, I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed it. While I consider myself a massive Star Wars nerd and a fan of the original Disney+ live-action series that spawned Baby Yoda and his armor-clad dad, I wasn’t sold on these two being given a big movie. But you know what, Mando and Grogu is a campy, sometimes weird, often fun, and mostly good Star Wars movie that doesn’t get bogged down in cameos or franchise upkeep. That said, I’m not sure this is the Star…
Google’s first Chromecast was a hit. With 10 million units sold in 2014, it excelled as an easy solution for streaming TV and movies from the Internet to a TV. Released at a time when dumb TVs were more common, the first-generation Chromecast has a simplicity you don’t find in streaming devices these days. Press “Cast” in an app, select a TV with a Chromecast, and start watching. Foregoing extras like a UI or ads, the device remains active in some homes today, despite Google ending support for the $35 device in 2023. However, this week it seemed like those…
In the foldables market, Motorola had a big breakthrough year in 2025 as it closed the gap with the niche segment’s leading manufacturer, Samsung. In North America, Motorola had a 44.1% to 50% market share in foldables, just behind the 51% of the market owned by its South Korean rival. Motorola’s share in the North American foldable market was 30% in 2024, indicating that the Lenovo unit was red hot in foldables in the U.S. last year.Motorola made some serious headway in the foldable market last yearGlobally, Motorola was in the top five among foldable manufacturers with a 14% slice…
Earlier this week, retired vice admiral and former Navy SEAL Robert Harward appeared on Fox News to discuss the Iran war. But rather than anything he said, it was a weird, dark spot on his neck that quickly went viral online, with many suggesting that it was evidence of a mask or some kind of AI-powered face filter. And despite an official answer from Fox, the conspiracy theories are spreading everywhere. On May 19, during an early morning segment on Fox News, Harward–who was previously the Deputy Commander of the United States Central Command–appeared for a few minutes to chat…
Pilots’ voices from the last seconds of a fatal cargo plane crash have been re-created by Internet sleuths using software and AI tools. The spread of reconstructed audio recordings has prompted a US government agency to suspend all public access to its database of civil transportation accidents—because federal law prohibits investigators from publicly releasing audio from cockpit voice recorders. The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) usually shares factual reports and evidence gathered from investigations of aircraft crashes and other civil transportation incidents. But on May 21, the NTSB announced that the online docket system containing such information was “temporarily…
Memorial Day doesn’t quite have the same reputation for knocking down the prices of popular mobile tech devices as holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Mother’s Day, and even Labor Day, but this year seems to be special for some reason, bringing an unusual number of exceptional promotions on some of the best phones, tablets, smartwatches, and wireless earbuds around together this week.Of the dozens and dozens of awesome deals available today at retailers like Amazon and device manufacturers like Samsung, Motorola, OnePlus, and Lenovo, I’ve carefully selected 25 individual offers that are either better than everything I’ve seen before or at…
Since it was first implemented into Valorant in 2020, Riot’s anti-cheat software Vanguard has been fairly controversial. Players have raised concerns about security, mid-game crashes, and the fact that Vanguard can somehow temporarily ban players from playing other games that aren’t even developed by Riot. Now, after a problematic update, Vanguard has found itself in hot water once again. Recently, Riot Games pushed an update that detects and disables DMA (or direct memory access) cheating tools used for Valorant, even when a Riot game isn’t running or actively installed. Some players without DMA cards, who claim they’ve never cheated, have…
You can also add stations manually, which is useful if a station you like doesn’t come up in the built-in search. For this you’ll need to find a link to the PLS file used by the station—this is what allows Trdo to find the radio station. Many online radio stations offer these links freely on their websites, just look for the streaming links section.If you can’t find a link to the stream don’t worry: There are websites that collect them. I recommend checking out Public Radio Fan, a database of public radio stations from around the world, or InternetRadio, which…
Every year the big names tell us battery tech has plateaued and we should be grateful for what we get. Then a phone shows up that quietly proves them wrong, and this one does it with room to spare.What Xiaomi just made officialThe Xiaomi 17 Max is now official, arriving as the fourth member of the 17 family. It drops the rear camera screen of its Pro Max sibling and pours everything into two areas: a 200 MP main camera and a battery that dwarfs almost anything you can buy here.Xiaomi’s own announcement confirms the hardware, and a new report…
Folks planning to buy a physical copy of the upcoming remake of 2001’s Gothic might want to rethink that if they care about preservation. According to the RPG’s publisher, the remake’s physical version will require a day-one update to play. On May 22, a tweet from Does It Play, an account that monitors video game physical releases to ensure they are playable without patches or downloads, posted that THQ’s upcoming Gothic remake would require an internet connection. This was reportedly discovered after copies went out early and someone tried to boot up the game without downloading the day-one patch. Doing…
