Smartphones are finally choosing quality over quantity when it comes to cameras

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Smartphones shipped in Q2 2025 with an average of 3.19 cameras, down from 3.37 a year earlier.

The revived Acclaim will reveal its 2026 lineup in a September 10 showcase

Acclaim Entertainment, a big name in licensed games in the '90s, is "returning." (Although, much like the new Atari, this is technically a different company that bought the old trademark.) The new Acclaim will focus on publishing indie games and reviving classic franchises. We don't know much beyond that, but we'll learn more on September 10 in the Play Acclaim Showcase. The company's March announcement of its revival hinted at the resurrection of old franchises. But it's unclear which of its c

The Framework Laptop 16’s Big Feature Will Be the Most Important PC Innovation in Years

The new Return to Silent Hill trailer gives us our first look at Pyramid Head

Nearly three years on from its original announcement, Return to Silent Hill finally has a proper trailer. It’s only 40 seconds long, but in that time we get a healthy supply of foggy and eerily empty street shots, terrifying monsters and a very brief glimpse of the iconic Pyramid Head.

This ‘Training Day’ Meme Is Getting Me Through the Collapse of American Democracy

The U.S. isn’t doing very well right now. The nation’s capital is under military occupation, the president is pursuing a campaign of retribution against his political enemies, and the wealthiest people in the country have suddenly embraced government ownership of their companies if it means they don’t have to pay more in taxes. But through it all, we still have our memes, the true opiate of the masses. And the latest meme that I can’t get enough of involves audio from an old movie, cute dogs, a

Wahoo Kickr Run Review: a (Mostly) Screen-Free Treadmill

Ask any serious runner and they’ll tell you that treadmills are usually the bane of their existence. Alas, for folks who don’t live in Mediterranean climates, they’re a necessary winter evil that keeps us fitter in the off-season, but not necessarily happier. The no-frills design of the Wahoo Kickr Run, plus a magical mode that allows it to track your pace without touching a button, is what makes it the most real-pavement-seeming treadmill I have ever run on. I’m admittedly 20 pounds heavier th

India is still working on sewer robots

More than 220 Bandicoot robots have been deployed in India, says Vipin Govind, head of marketing and communications at Genrobotics. The company’s reach, he says, enables “even resource-constrained municipalities” to deploy the technology effectively. Despite these technological options, a 2021 report by the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment found that there are still more than 58,000 manual scavengers across India. Independent observers say the numbers are even higher. The machine that J

SpaceX's Starship deploys its payload for the first time

SpaceX has successfully launched the Starship for its 10th test flight after it was delayed a couple of times due to weather conditions and other issues. This time, the company was able to achieve its objectives without the vehicle and its booster exploding mid-test. One of those objectives was deploying Starship's payload for the first time ever. If you'll recall, Starship exploded during its ascent stage in the company's seventh and eighth test flights. The vehicle made it to space for its nin

Starship Nails 10th Test Flight, Putting SpaceX Back on Track

Following a string of unsuccessful flights, SpaceX managed to pull off its most successful test in months, with Starship fulfilling a number of key milestones. It was a good day for SpaceX.
