For six years, I have found myself randomly wondering, “Is this the year Phoebe Bridgers finally puts out a new album?” The answer has always been a resounding “no.”That changed on May 8, when mysterious flyers appeared in Roswell, New Mexico, announcing a show that same day at the Liberty, a venue that holds a few hundred people. Equally small pop-ups announced by flyer have followed in places ranging from Lubbock, Texas, to Macon, Georgia. On Thursday, another pop-up—also announced via flyer—is happening at a decidedly bigger venue: Madison Square Garden, where Tidal is a sponsor and tickets are $1.Yet…

Hunting for a new set of good-sounding headphones but don’t want to break the bank on premium cans like the Sony WH-1000XM6? I hear you. While it’s great to enjoy top-tier sound and industry-leading ANC, spending around $400 on new headphones can be a bit too much. Fortunately, you can currently enjoy Sony’s exceptional sound quality for less than $149, which is a way more tempting price.The Sony ULT WEAR are discounted by a whopping 41% on Amazon right now, dropping them just below the $149 mark. This allows you to get them for $102 off their usual price, which…

The internet’s favorite Lego conspiracy story (which, at this point, really isn’t even about Lego anymore) just had its strangest twist yet, as content creator Reckless Ben has recently announced that American Fork Police Department has allegedly been “hacked,” and inadvertently released what appears to be the unredacted footage of Ben’s encounters with the Utah-based police officers. The last time we covered the ongoing feud between Lego resellers Bricks & Minifigs and Reckless Ben, American Fork police chief Cameron Paul had just released a video addressing Ben’s allegations against Joshua Johnson and Brandon Best; the two owners of the Oregon…

Zoë Schiffer: Deviance and freaks, the new name of our podcast. And this is, I mean, just going back to red teaming, that’s work that a trust and safety team typically does. And those teams—Leah Feiger: We don’t have those anymore.Zoë Schiffer: They’re not as big as they used to be. There’s just not as much work. So yeah, I mean, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. Obviously within Meta, we’ve been talking to folks this week who kind of met the news with SI. The company has just laid off a large portion of the…

This year, Apple will be doing a lot of “firsts”.The company will be scoring a new CEO for the first time in more than a decade. Apple will also be releasing its first foldable iPhone. Finally, we aren’t going to receive a regular iPhone this year as Apple will push its release back to early 2027.That’s quite a lot of firsts, but regardless, we are still getting a number of new iPhones this fall. Aside from the foldable iPhone 18 Ultra, we are also going to see the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max flagship models. Currently, a number…

As revealed earlier this week during Sony’s recent State of Play, Moon Studios’ top-down action RPG No Rest for the Wicked is making the leap to PlayStation 5 after an extended early access period on PC. But Xbox fans wanting to play the next game from the studio behind Ori and the Will of the Wisps will have to wait while the studio optimizes the game more so it can run on the tiny Xbox Series S. On June 2, Moon Studios CEO Thomas Mahler responded to a fan asking about the lack of an Xbox port despite Wicked coming…

Meta has quietly embedded face-recognition technology for its smart glasses into an app downloaded to millions of phones, according to a WIRED analysis of the company’s software.Code discreetly added to Meta’s AI app over multiple updates this year shows that the feature, internally called “NameTag,” identifies people captured by the glasses’ camera and, when activated, alerts the wearer when it recognizes someone.The discovery of NameTag in the live Meta AI app shows that Meta had begun shipping face-recognition code to users’ phones while publicly describing it as something the company was still “thinking through.” In April, Meta said if it…

Apple has a long history of letting rivals sprint ahead on hardware, then strolling in years later to call the result revolutionary. It happened with OLED, it happened with high refresh rates, and a new report suggests it is about to happen again, except this time the company doing the lapping is one Apple probably never saw coming.What the report actually claimsA new report out of South Korea says Apple will skip tandem OLED on the iPhone 18 Pro and focus on thermal management upgrades first.Tandem OLED stacks two layers of organic light-emitting material instead of one. The payoff is…

Subnautica 2 has been rolling out hotfixes since it originally launched into Early Access on May 14, including most recently lowering the aggression levels of some of its most frustrating fish. But today we get the first glimpse of what developers Unknown Worlds have planned for future, larger updates, including a whole new region below the Collector Leviathan’s realm. And like other recent statements, it feels like it’s all being delivered from under the shadow of some recent reputational damage after members of the dev team were…less than diplomatic in occasional responses to players. Subnautica 2 is, in the main…

Not very agricultural Ironically, that extra refinement makes the Solterra feel less like a true Subaru, at least to me. Its distinctive boxer engines aren’t the most refined in the world, but they do add character, as does the mechanical all-wheel drive. Here, the drive experience is rather anodyne, albeit entirely acceptable for a daily driver. There’s nothing that feels Subaru about this interior.
