The Garmin Forerunner 245 is one of the best Garmin watches on the market, and with the Forerunner 255, Garmin has made some small, but significant improvements. While we’re yet to get our hands on the new watch, here’s everything you need to about the stand-out features. Garmin Forerunner 255: Price and availability For the first time, the Garmin Forerunner 255 will come in two different sizes — the Forerunner 255S and the Forerunner 255S Music will have a 41mm case, and be available in a number of different colors, including tidal blue and light pink....

In our “Every God of War Game, ranked” piece, we broke down the relative merits of each game that’s come out so far. The article also reminded us that while there have been four “main” God of War games, there are actually nine altogether, and (almost) every one has something important to contribute to the story. With that in mind, here’s a story primer for the God of War series as a whole....

God of War Ragnarök begins with long-suffering protagonist Kratos sitting in a cave, reminiscing on his past and, presumably, pondering what the future might bring. It’s a calm, quiet moment that segues into a heartfelt conversation with his son Atreus, as the two mount a wolf-sled and ride back home through the gently falling snow. I wondered whether this God of War entry might break with series precedent and start with a slow burn rather than a bombastic action scene....

Wrapping up the Google I/O keynote today (May 11), CEO Sundar Pichai talked about Google’s vision for AR. “The magic [of AR] will really come alive when you can use it in the real world without the technology getting in the way,” Pichai said. “That potential is what gets us most excited about AR — the ability to spend time focusing on what matters in the real world in our real lives....

During its Google I/O 2022 press event today (May 11), the tech giant announced a number of new features coming to Google Workspace apps that are designed to facilitate hybrid work. Improvements in Google Meet video quality are the most notable upgrades, but there are a number of other improvements that anyone who regularly uses Google Workspace apps will appreciate. Here are all the big features coming to Google Workspace in the near future:...

The tablet is expected to also be a lot more than a smart home hub though. When detached, it is expected to be a fully functioning smart screen. We don’t know all the features the tablet will bring just yet and while Google has given us just a glimpse at the interface of the tablet, leaked images from 9to5Google (opens in new tab) show how Google Assistant and Discover could look on it....

Anybody trying to buy a GPU between late 2020 to now will know that finding RTX 3080 stock at MSRP has been a huge challenge that not only required being in the right place at the right time, but an enormous amount of luck to boot. While GPU prices have begun to return to normal levels, we’re not quite back at MSRP yet — but Corsair, the manufacturer of PC components and peripherals, believes the wait is very nearly over....

That’s not entirely surprising because critics have already been mixed on the show, which currently has a 61% on Rotten Tomatoes (opens in new tab). But since fan opinions have been such a big topic of concern after we learned that Master Chief would unmask (a decision that vocal fans spoke up against), this is definitely the moment we’ve been waiting for. Check out Halo for yourself with a 7-day free trial of Paramount Plus (opens in new tab)...

That’s a big change from how this works currently, where you need to connect a USB-C cable with the HDMI cable for lengthier connections. HDMI Cable Power will do away with that requirement. HDMI Cable Power has gotten the OK from the HDMI Licensing Administrator (LA), the organization that oversees the launch of new HDMI products. All that said, you won’t need HDMI Cable Power for consoles or devices located right next to your TV....

Now, I don’t mean that to sound snobby or patronizing to anyone who enjoys mainstream shooters. I myself devoted many years to Call of Duty and Battlefield multiplayer, addicted to the frenetic action, chaotic choke points and, of course, the tactless banter. So I get it. Now though, approaching 30, busy and increasingly grumpy, even the thought of all that makes me feel tired. Why on earth would I want to sit listening to a group of kids shouting abuse at me?...

The LG C1 OLED is one of the best TVs we’ve ever reviewed, and it just got an incredible discount for one of the best Cyber Monday Deals we’ve seen yet. The 65" LG C1 4K OLED TV is $1,499 at Best Buy right now (opens in new tab), which is $700 off and close to its lowest price ever. The LG C1 OLED doesn’t beat the newer LG C2 OLED in terms of performance and features, but this deal means you can get an incredible big-screen OLED TV without paying a fortune....

If you’re expecting a call, the natural thing to do is turn your iPhone off silent, and then turn up the ringer volume. That way you know for sure you won’t miss it. Turning your iPhone off silent is easy, and to raise the ringer volume you just use the side buttons, right? Wrong. By default, the volume buttons on the side of your iPhone only control the system volume, used for things like music and video playback....

If you have a memory foam mattress topper, you need to be especially careful. That’s because the structure of memory foam is very delicate, and can’t be put in the washing machine. It will get damaged from being soaked in water, and the centrifugal force of the machine and the heat of the drum will probably add to the destruction further. Some of the best mattress toppers have removable covers you can pop into the washing machine (the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt Mattress Topper (opens in new tab) is one example)....

Cleaning the oven is something everyone needs to do. If you don’t, it can compromise the smell of the food you cook within, or cause excess smoke by burning any residue which has dripped down. In severe cases, an unclean oven can even lead to fires. That’s why you must take the time to regularly clean your oven. Here, we take you through how to do it, step-by-step. You might want to follow these tips on how to clean a burnt pot to get it sparkling....

Basically, every time you turn on your Galaxy S22 a cache is made. It contains all kinds of temporary files from apps and other general usage. When a file gets corrupted or something goes wrong, it’s useful to clear your cache so the phone can start anew. This way, your phone can create new files without running into the same problems as the old ones. Ready to clear your cache?...

Whether you’ve just picked up one of the best external hard drives or have gone for an internal drive after figuring out the victor between SSD vs HDD, cloning a hard drive isn’t as daunting as you may think it is. Why is it better to clone your hard drive instead of just copying and pasting everything across? Well, for starters, simply dragging everything from one drive to another can lead to headaches like apps not being able to find program files, and would likely leave your new drive in an unorganized mess, too....

The trouble is, as most of us know, squirrels are very difficult to catch — they’re quick, clever and can fit through the smallest of gaps. So what can be done if you’ve got a squirrel problem, but don’t want to hurt them? Here, we take you through some tips and tricks to keep squirrels at bay, whether they’re in or around your home. Here’s how to get rid of squirrels....

What’s more, the pheromone they produce not only protects them from predators, but attracts more stink bugs. This is why it’s so important to know how to get rid of stink bugs the right way to prevent an infestation. So what are stink bugs? The brown marmorated stink bug is a common pest in households. Typically, they’re known for their distinct ’V’ pattern on the back, these critters can make their way into houses or structures once the weather turns cold, to seek warmth and food....

Nintendo somewhat regularly releases special-edition models of the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED, and previous versions have included console ties in with Animal Crossing New Horizons and Splatoon 3. However, the Nintendo Switch OLED Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Edition could be one of the most popular limited edition models yet. While there are no hardware changes here — it’s just a regular Nintendo Switch OLED with a Pokemon-themed skin — the console is rapidly selling out across retailers....
