It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a six-propeller flying vehicle with a nearly eight-foot wingspan.For the next year, delivery drones operated by the British company Skyports are taking daily weekday trips across New York City’s East River, between the tip of Manhattan and a pier in Brooklyn. Since early May—a bit behind schedule—the drones have carried light cargo for a New York City health care system. Right now, those loads are basically a few pounds of paper; once the healthcare system is confident the setup works, it should include nonhazardous, non-biological packages, such as light pharmaceuticals.The drones are part…

It’s a long, arduous, global process to find and notify people who might be at risk of infection.Hey, wasn’t there supposed to be an app for that?Contact-tracing apps were a global effort starting in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. Enabled by phone companies like Apple and Google, contact tracing was designed to use Bluetooth connections to detect when people had come in contact with someone who had…
Earbud-based translators are the next game changer. These are over-ear devices that come in a pair—one for you, one for your conversation partner. Each of you wears one earbud, and the software on your phone handles the translation, both ways, behind the scenes. The best earbud translators make for the most natural way to communicate with someone in a foreign language that I’ve found to date, though handhelds tend to have more capabilities. (Earbud-based designs seem to be the direction the industry is heading.)When shopping for a handheld translator, watch out for expensive subscription plans. Many devices come with free…
As you progress through Outbound you’ll find four landmarks to visit with mini puzzles attached to them.

One of the new creative directors at Kingdom Come studio Warhorse, Prokop Jirsa, has commented on the hot-button issue of using artificial intelligence in game development. His comments come at a time when Warhorse was accused a firing a translator to help save costs.Jirsa told PC Gamer that he understands why people hate when art is generated with AI, and that’s because he hates it, too. While using AI to generate art that would be released to the public is not something Jirsa is interested in, he said the technology can be “really helpful” during development in other ways. That…

Like most retro gaming fiends, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol were eating well in the Wii era. Better known as Nirvanna the Band, the two uploaded comedy shorts online before landing a TV show and hit feature film.

Updating “Update Day,” or the Wii Shop Wednesday song, the bossa nova ode to the Virtual Console runs a little shorter. McCarrol still croons out the…

One boutique publisher wants to test how high a price they can get for it, as the new “Avant-Garde” edition will run collectors $17 grand. Based out of Croatia, Argent Comics “re-engineers DC’s iconic…
