GoPro’s latest action cam has officially broken cover, after a few leaks spoiled some of the surprises. With the Hero 13 Black, the company is bolstering its position as the go-to action cam with more versatility and features aimed at high-level users who’ve probably owned a GoPro or two for years. GPS is back, the battery is bigger and there are upgrades to slow-motion capture and more, but the big... Read more ›

IFA is upon us, which means that along with offering us some truly ridiculous new concepts, a whole bunch of manufacturers are giving their gaming laptops iterative upgrades and introducing some fresh variants. Acer is one of the companies doing just that (though in fairness, it has some more exciting announcements elsewhere, such as its first gaming handheld). The company is refreshing the Nitro V 16 system and introducing the... Read more ›

The first is arguably more true than ever, but a new World Health Organization-backed systematic review found no link between mobile phone use and brain cancer. These findings included no association with use for more than a decade, number of calls or length of time spent talking... Read more ›

It’s wild to think the reMarkable 2 was announced in March 2020, a time more famous for other reasons these days. More than four years later, the company is ready to show off its latest distraction-free writing slate. That long gestation period has been worth it, with the new model packing a nicer chassis, faster internals, a bigger display and crucially, a color screen. Say hello to the reMarkable Paper...

One of the most common criticisms against Snapchat is that it's not very intuitive and is quite hard navigate as a new user. Personally, I never quite got the hang of it and find TikTok much, much easier to use. Apparently, Snap is aware of the issue, because it's currently testing a "simplified version of Snapchat." Snap CEO Evan Spiegel has revealed the existence of an experimental Snapchat app in... Read more ›

The X TV app — teased earlier this year — is out in beta on Amazon Fire TVs, Google TVs and some LG sets.

The company says this tool will even work during peak hours, when rides are usually at their most expensive. There are, however, some caveats. First of all, there’s a required monthly subscription price to use... Read more ›

There’s one clear perk that Android has over iOS and that’s variety when it comes to the phones you have to choose from. Apple has made the iPhone is the only game in town for iOS, but with Google’s operating system, there are dozens of choices out there from manufacturers like Samsung, Motorola, OnePlus and others. But that also means it can be difficult to decide which device is best... Read more ›

One of the great universal annoyances of life is that TV explosions and soundtracks are always mega-loud, while dialogue is quieter than a church mouse. This is especially true of modern action movies and TV shows that seem to have been mixed primarily to make our walls shake while remaining mostly indiscernible. So we dive into the settings. We adjust soundbar placement. We turn on the subtitles. We do it... Read more ›

The iPad has long been the best tablet for most people, but figuring out which model to actually buy today isn’t so straightforward.

How about those AI features the company’s been going on about? If you’re looking to buy an Apple... Read more ›

There's a big trend in electric SUVs right now, and it probably isn't what you think. It isn't a longer range. It's not more advanced battery construction, super-fast charging or even NACS plugs. No, the real trend in electric SUVs is being delayed. Porsche's electric Macan took its sweet time going to production, as did its sibling the Audi Q6 E-Tron, which was also delayed for months. Volvo's EX90 has... Read more ›

Growing up. It’s something we all do, and devices do too. While there’s been very little innovation in mainstream smartphones lately, foldable phones have been maturing over the last few years and finally seem to be coming into their own. It’s like they’re in the young adult phase of their lives, while the conventional “candybar” handset has largely been figured out. At least, on the outside, anyway. If foldables are... Read more ›
