What the hell is going on with Subnautica 2?

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-18 21:29:28

If I had to describe the status of Subnautica 2 in just three words, it would be these: messy, messy, messy. That’s not to say the game itself is in terrible shape — this is actually a pivotal claim in the whole situation — but the relationship between Subnautica series developer Unknown Worlds and its parent company, Krafton, is in shreds. This month alone, Krafton fired the founders and CEO of Unknown Worlds, Subnautica 2 was delayed until 2026 and the ousted leaders filed a lawsuit against Kr

It’s Official: Apple Needs to Drop a New Version of AirPods ASAP

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-07-19 01:34:02

Remember AirPods? You probably do, because they’re literally everywhere, all the time, but if you don’t, it’s because Apple has seemingly neglected its hyper-popular wireless earbuds for a while now—or it’s at least failed to give us a model that actually counts as an upgrade. While AirPods 4 were released in 2024, the only notable upgrades back then were USB-C charging (hardly groundbreaking) and a new H2 chip that most people will probably overlook. That means the last real upgrade was actuall

Netflix Is Doubling Down on Ads and Dabbling in AI

When Netflix debuted its video streaming service back in 2011, it seemed like it would usher in the end of the television commercial. Fast-forward 14 years, and Netflix is now working on growing its own ad network and it thinks this is the future of the business. Well, that and AI. Netflix execs told investors on Thursday that it is on track to double its advertising revenue this year.

Nothing’s Headphone 1 Copied the AirPods Max’s Dumbest Accessory, and Now I Actually Need One

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-07-20 01:37:42

Apple’s AirPods Max are iconic for lots of reasons. Firstly, it’s Apple, so they have just a teensy bit of name-brand recognition. Secondly, there’s the sound—Apple’s over-ear headphones might look a little boring, but they sound consistently great. Good enough to actually make a $550 price tag work. There’s also a third iconic aspect, though this one may be notable for the wrong reasons. If you guessed the “iBra” carrying case, congratulations, you win a free ticket to tech nerd jail. As iconi

You can once again buy the AirPods 4 for less than $90

We saw a ton of great Apple deals during Prime Day, most of which have disappeared. It’s okay if you missed out, though, as some of our favorite deals like the M2 MacBook Air have either stuck around or have returned, like the low price on Apple’s entry-level AirPods 4. Right now, you can pick up a pair for just $89.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, which is $1 shy of their all-time best price. Alternatively, you can buy the model with active noise cancellation for $119.99 ($60 off)

RFK Jr. Begs Canada to Pardon 400 Ostriches So That We Can ‘Understand’ Them

Kennedy, who also happens to be in charge of America’s federal health policy, believes those ostriches could help scientists “better understand the virus.” The ostriches in question are at the heart of a legal battle in Ottawa, where federal judge

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Returns With an Awkward Case of Tonal Whiplash

It’s been almost two years since Star Trek: Strange New Worlds left us on a tense cliffhanger, and now it’s finally back to pay it off. It is perhaps an unfair pressure to put on the show, that circumstances outside of its control have kept this return anticipated for longer than it should have. But even beyond the context of its Hollywood strikes-induced delay, there was going to be pressure on Strange New Worlds to put its best foot forward regardless.

LameHug malware uses AI LLM to craft Windows data-theft commands in real-time

A novel malware family named LameHug is using a large language model (LLM) to generate commands to be executed on compromised Windows systems.

So, how is it available in New York for just $15 a month? If Starlink wants to sell internet in the state, it doesn’t have a choice.

Crypto theft is booming as criminals increasingly turn to physical attacks

The value of cryptocurrencies stolen by criminals surged in the first six months of 2025 after a high-profile hack and a wave of physical attacks targeting crypto holders and their relatives. So far this year, $2.17 billion has been stolen from crypto services — already eclipsing the $1.87 billion of funds stolen from platforms in 2024 — and this is expected to reach $4 billion by the end of 2025, according to a report published Thursday by blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis.

A few months ago, Final Audio, a boutique Japanese brand, sent me its new, relatively low-priced ZE3000 SV noise-canceling earbuds to test.
