Update: As of Dec. 14 this LG G2 OLED deal is still available. OLED TVs are known for having amazing picture quality, but lower brightness when compared to LED panels. But what if you want the incredible picture quality of OLED without sacrificing brightness? Well, the TV you want is the LG G2 OLED. As we noted in our LG G2 OLED review, this TV not only looks amazing, but it’s incredibly bright for an OLED....
Semantle (opens in new tab) dispatches with the usual guesses based on spelling, and instead has you guessing a word based on semantic similarity. Which is to say how likely a word is to be used in similar contexts. For every word you guess, Semantle will tell you whether you’re hot or, if you’re outside of the top 1,000 closest words, cold. It will also provide a number informing you of the closeness of the word: 100 indicates the word is identical, so you can tell if you’re moving in the right direction....
In a shockingly tone-deaf blog post (opens in new tab), Facebook, aka Meta, defended its pricey decision: “The costs to make and ship our products have been on the rise,” the post explains. “By adjusting the price of Quest 2, we can continue to grow our investment in groundbreaking research and new product development that pushes the VR industry to new heights.” Starting on August 1, the 128 GB model of the Meta Quest 2 VR headset will cost $399 rather than $299, while the 256 GB model will cost $499 rather than $399....
This iteration includes an 11th-generation Intel CPU, a 13-inch 120Hz display, two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a removable SSD. Just as important, it comes with Windows 11 right out of the box and is suited to Microsoft’s latest operating system. Its small size and lightweight design make the Surface Pro 8 ideal to use at home or on the road. During my testing, I found the device solid for everyday use....
But just like the Eddie Brock we met in Venom and Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage, this movie doesn’t seem to be presenting Morbius as a baddie. Instead, just like his vampiric skin, we’ve got shades of gray. Spoiler alert: this story covers news from Venom 2’s post-credits scene and all the Spider-Man: No Way Home rumors. Plus, well, if the leaks and rumors are true? Morbius’ post-credits scenes will have fans angry....
Codenamed “Frontier 22,” the next Motorola flagship looks like a heavy-hitter on paper, and the leaked render makes for an interesting looking handset. This massive leak comes courtesy of German publication WinFuture (opens in new tab), which has a reliable track record. Before we dive in, here are the leaked specs. Motorola Frontier 22 leaked specs As you can see, there are two things to note. The first and most obvious is the 200MP main camera sensor....
This upgrade is tied to the three brand new DualSense colors that were released earlier this year. The Starlight Blue. Nova Pink and Galactic Purple controllers have been torn down by YouTuber TronicsFix (opens in new tab), and it looks like there have been a couple of small but potentially meaningful tweaks to the controller’s internal components. Firstly, a slightly different spring has been used for the back shoulder buttons....
In the days leading up to the official launch of the OnePlus 10T on August 3, the company has revealed many new details about the upcoming flagship phone, including info about the design and colors. In images released by the company, we see that the OnePlus 10T looks a lot like its predecessor — the OnePlus 10 Pro. But the key difference is that there is no alert slider this time, nor do we see the Hasselblad branded-camera system that is usually found on OnePlus phones....
Scanning both the Google Play store and Apple’s App Store Meta previously announced it has found 400 apps designed specifically to harvest users’ personal information. Posing across a range of genres these apps include games, VPNs, health services, and photo editing tools. All the apps are designed to ‘phish’ for users Facebook login information, which could lead to compromised accounts. These apps have been removed from their respective stores but users should check that they haven’t already got one installed....
There’s good reason for current PSVR users and VR enthusiasts to be excited for PSVR 2. It features 2000 x 2040 resolution OLED screens per eye, built-in cameras, a single cable setup, new controllers and even has a AAA exclusive to call its own: Horizon Call of the Mountain. While it may not be as powerful as devices like the HTC Vive Pro 2, the PSVR 2 seems to be, at least on paper, a vast improvement over its predecessor....
Min/max height: 29.5 - 49.2 inches Max supported weight: 88 pounds Electric: Yes Making the switch from a traditional desk to a standing desk does come with some drawbacks, as most standing desks don’t include built-in storage. The Realspace smart standing desk does though, with two drawers for supplies and accessories. It also doesn’t need a cable management tray as it has a shelf at its rear with a hinged back, complete with a cutout to let cables pass through....
According Dutch publication GalaxyClub (opens in new tab), the Galaxy S23 Ultra will have a 12MP front camera, the same one rumored for the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus. That’d be a huge downgrade in resolution from the 40MP the Ultra phones have had since the Galaxy S20 Ultra. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard this claim. A report last month in ETNews also suggested that the Galaxy S23 Ultra would turn to a 12MP front camera....
Since the Inzone H9 is a Sony-manufactured product, it takes advantage of the PS5’s Tempest 3D audio technology to produce immersive sound. It’s also suitable for PC, with an Inzone desktop app that lets you create and adjust sound profiles. Because you can connect simultaneously to PS5 and Discord, you’ll be able to hear game sounds while chatting with friends. And if you like the PS5’s black and white aesthetic, you’ll dig this headset’s similar design....
One company with good reason to be wary is Sony, as the PS5 is currently the Xbox Series X’s biggest competitor on the market. According to some new regulatory documents, Sony is not thrilled with the fact that Call of Duty could soon become part of Microsoft’s arsenal, as that franchise alone could convince a significant number of gamers to invest in an Xbox console rather than a PlayStation. To understand Sony’s concerns, it’s important to understand where this information comes from....
One of the killer features of this TV is Sony’s new Cognitive XR Processor, which acts almost like a director given its capacity to understand what humans expect to hear and see from each scene. Add that to Sony’s 2022 OLED TV panel that offers better brightness and a wide image sweet spot with off-axis viewing, and this is a TV that will master any room. It’s amazing to see a deal for this TV as it’s only about six months old at this point....
That’s because Stage Manager is a cool new feature in macOS Ventura that brings whatever you’re working on into the center of your display while organizing your other open apps into a pile of tiles on the lefthand side of the screen. Stage Manager works on both macOS Ventura and iPadOS 16 in similar ways. The idea is to help you stay focused, but it’s also a nice way of quickly seeing everything you’re working on at a glance – the tiles in Stage Manager are even capable of updating live, so you can see when you get a new text message in Messages or an email in Mail....
While it’s still early on, Starlink is already having an impact on people living in rural parts of the world. In our Starlink review, we were thoroughly impressed by the new satellite internet service but there are still lots of questions and variables that need to be taken into account. SpaceX also recently launched Starlink RV which is a service meant for users on-the-go or who live in campers. While you can skip the line and get Starlink’s RV plan instantly, there is a downside though as network services are de-prioritized for Starlink RV compared to other Starlink products – which means a degraded service and slower speeds....
Stranger of Paradise (I’ll drop the “Final Fantasy Origin” for brevity’s sake; just pretend I kept writing it) is the instantly memetic Final Fantasy spinoff that Square Enix announced at E3 2021. On paper, it’s a reimagining of the very first Final Fantasy game, but with real-time combat instead of turn-based and tough-talking protagonists in modern clothing instead of high fantasy archetypes. It’s essentially what would happen if someone crashed an airbrushed wizard van into a Hot Topic while a Disturbed song was on the radio....
The lack of iMessage on Android has pained users for years, as Apple refuses to adopt a more universal standard, such as RCS. While some have turned to third-party services like WhatsApp and Telegram for their messaging needs, others are left with SMS/MMS, an ancient set of standards that lack any basic sense of security. Not to mention the bullying some childish people engage in to browbeat and shame their peers into getting an iPhone....
