This YouTube TV discount for existing subscribers is too good to miss

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube TV is getting a temporary $33 discount for existing users. This brings the cost down to $49.99 a month. You only get the discounted price for two months, but a $66 benefit is better than none. If you’ve switched over from a traditional cable TV, you probably know about virtual providers like YouTube TV, DirecTV, or Hulu. However, if you haven’t and want to explore cutting ties with a traditional TV operator, YouTube TV could be one of the more ben

Ubisoft's free Assassin's Creed Mirage Discovery Tour app allows you to explore 9th century Baghdad

Ubisoft is releasing a free Discovery Tour app covering the history of Baghdad, the setting of Assassin's Creed Mirage . The game launched in 2023 without Ubisoft's "Discovery Tour" feature, a mode that's previously been packed into Assassin's Creed games — starting with 2017's Assassin's Creed Origins — and uses the game's open-world maps and character models to illustrate the history and cultural specifics of their chosen setting. This new app takes a slightly different approach, reworking th

Discounty adds some bite to cozy life sims

There’s a pleasing rhythm to cozy life sims. The virtual days pass, filled with chores of tending crops or running a business, punctuated by strange mysteries or evolving relationships. At their best, these games merge busywork with exploration and storytelling, in a way that makes them hard to step away from. Discounty, from developer Crinkle Cut Games, applies this idea to running a small-town supermarket. And while in many ways it can still be considered “cozy” like its contemporaries, it als

The Wild, Citywide Scavenger Hunt That Ate San Francisco

On a Wednesday night in August, hundreds of people gathered in the lobby of Apple Cinemas in central San Francisco. To gain admission to the event, attendees had to say a secret code word to the crew working the door: three giggling children wearing oversize “SECURITY” caps. The throng inside hunted for QR codes on the walls and admired a makeshift art gallery that showcased a collection of paintings, each referencing a famous historical work—Vermeer’s Girl With a Pearl Earring, Munch’s The Scr

HP Coupon Codes and Deals: Up to 60% Off | September 2025

GAN Math (2020)

Generative Adversarial Networks refer to a family of generative models that seek to discover the underlying distribution behind a certain data generating process.

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google is evaluating new options to make the Discover feed easier to customize. It is testing a new language selection option that lets you select multiple languages. The language selection tool is unlikely to limit the number of languages you can choose for content on the Discover feed.

Writing with LLM is not a shame

Writing with LLM is not a shame. An essay about transparency on AI use. tl;dr: For people who are curious about AI, you rapidly detect people who are using it not correctly (for those who use AI “smartly” or correctly, it’s more complicated to detect it). I’m pretty sure you already saw tons of ai-written posts on social media. For me, I started to notice this in January 2024. At this moment, I was shocked of seeing all these ai-written articles or comments and I decided to disclaim my AI uses

Sony’s PlayStation 5 Gets a Big Price Hike

After Xbox and Nintendo both made their consoles and peripherals more expensive, it was inevitable that Sony would make the same move. Now every version of the PlayStation 5 costs $50 more, no matter if you decide to opt for the all-digital version or the PlayStation 5 Pro. No matter whether you’re an Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo diehard, all your consoles will cost you way more, all down to the economic shitstorm caused by Trump tariffs. In a blog post, Sony said it was navigating “a challen
