The Poco X8 Pro has been showing up across multiple certification databases ahead of its official launch. We’ve seen it on Europe’s EEC listing, India’s BIS, SGS, and more recently in Indonesia’s SDPPI. The phone has now received NBTC approval in Thailand, but the twist is, it’s the special Iron Man Edition. If you remember, Poco X7 Pro special edition is also themed after Iron Man, so the company is continuing the partnership this generation too. Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition According to the NBTC listing, the new variant carries the model number 2511FPC34G and name, the Poco X8 Pro…
I still have some complaints, starting with the TV’s relentless pursuit of Samsung’s ad-based TV service, Samsung TV Plus. The service launches by default during startup, forcing me to sweep through the Advanced Settings and turn it off under Startup Options. Even then, it kept turning on The Fairly Odd Parents on startup, eventually seeming to stop on its own.Tizen also apparently auto-scans for OTA antenna channels, leaving me confused about how to rescan, while the S90F’s lack of ATSC 3.0 support means you won’t get next-gen channels with features like HDR. One final oddity is that the TV’s HDMI…
In 2024, artificial intelligence (AI) voice assistants worldwide surpassed 8 billion, more than one per person on the planet. These assistants are helpful, polite — and almost always default to female.Their names also carry gendered connotations. For example, Apple’s Siri — a Scandinavian feminine name — means “beautiful woman who leads you to victory”.Meanwhile, when IBM’s Watson for Oncology launched in 2015 to help doctors process medical data, it was given a male voice. The message is clear: women serve and men instruct. You may like This is not harmless branding — it’s a design choice that reinforces existing stereotypes…
MindsEye was one of last year’s worst-reviewed games. It was published by IO Interactive and was supposed to get a special Hitman crossover mission. According to a new report from Insider Gaming, that’s no longer happening and developer Build a Rocket Boy and IO Interactive have decided to bail on the failed joint venture. What this means for the future of MindsEye, once pitched as the first building block in an ambitious open-world metaverse called Everywhere, is currently unclear. But apparently the Hitman mission, the shooter’s highest-profile bit of upcoming content, is canceled. Build a Rocket Boy and IO Interactive…
There may be plenty of gaming handhelds out there, but there aren’t many horizontal options that let you play childhood favorites in the original 4:3 aspect ratio. To address that gap, Ayaneo launched a premium option with the Pocket S Mini. As a “true 4:3 retro handheld,” the Pocket S Mini won’t have those pesky vertical black bars whenever you’re emulating video games from the CRT television era.Handhelds like the Anbernic RG405M and even Ayaneo’s own Pocket Air Mini already offer a 4:3 aspect ratio, but the Pocket S Mini presents a more high-end build with a full metal frame…
You Can Only Learn By Losing At First There are quite a few comments on the Steam page for USC: Counterforce and even Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN originally gave up on the game immediately, because the devs decided to make the first mission unwinnable. The start is even worse than Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus, your squad will run out of ammo and die horrifically. That’s the point, these were the first to encounter the alien swarms and were utterly unprepared. Their deaths serve to teach you about the game and to ensure the second team, the one you control throughout the game,…
I’ve always approached taking melatonin supplements with skepticism. They seem to help every once in a while, but your brain is already making melatonin. Beyond that, I am not a fan of the sickly-sweet tablets, gummies, and other forms of melatonin I’ve come across. No one wants a bad taste in their mouth when they’re supposed to be drifting off to sleep.This is where Onnit’s Instant Melatonin Spray comes in. Fellow WIRED reviewer Molly Higgins first gave it a go, and reported back favorably. This spray comes in two flavors, lavender and mint, and is sweetened with stevia. While I…

Around 50% of a person’s lifespan is determined by genetics, a new study suggests, more than doubling previous estimates of the heritability of longevity.The new research, published Jan. 29 in the journal Science, used a carefully designed mathematical model to reach this conclusion. With the model, the team behind the work could account for external causes of death, such as accidents or infections, eliminating these environmental factors from their heritability estimates.The heritability of different human traits is usually determined using twin studies, which enable scientists to compare individuals who share either nearly 100% or 50% of their DNA. Identical, or…
