The redundant iTunes Movies and TV Shows apps can now be hidden from the Apple TV Home Screen

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-11-24 22:32:45

The iTunes Movies and TV Shows app predate the unified Apple TV app, and go all the way back to the first version of tvOS in 2015. Fast forward to today, and these apps are almost entirely redundant and serve as mere placeholders. As system apps on Apple TV are not deletable, these husks of times past have somewhat comically stuck around on the Apple TV home screen. With the latest beta of tvOS 26, users will finally have a way to bury these apps for good. Up to now, the only workaround to kee

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-11-24 22:06:32

2025 Even if you’ve been enjoying your Nintendo Switch 2, you can’t play it for that long without being near its dock or a charger. Battery life is one of the major downsides to Nintendo’s handheld, even more so than the original Switch. I’ve tried a few remedies for this power pain point, including Viture’s AR glasses dock that’s pretty bulky if you want to take it on the go. Then came along Genki with its $50 Attack Vector, a grip case packed with a unique feature that can easily let me play

PUBG: Battlegrounds will leave PS4 and Xbox One behind later this year

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-25 08:29:33

PUBG: Battlegrounds is finally ready to ditch last-gen consoles. On Wednesday, the developer said that the game will transition to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 13. Although the battle royale has been playable on current-gen consoles all along, it was running as a PS4 or Xbox One game. That helped it cast a wide net (and probably make more money), but it also came with technical limitations. The company said the move to current-gen will "provide our players with a more stable gameplay env

Fixing a loud PSU fan without dying

Three months after I built my new computer, it started annoying me.

Over the course of a few weeks, the sound got progressively worse to the extent that I didn’t want to use the computer without headphones on. I measured the sound at 63 dB, which is about the sound of someone talking. That may not sound terrible, but it’s a constant, nasty noise coming from som
