Overwatch 2 will overhaul its progression systems to show more visual flair in matches

The next season of Overwatch 2 will bring more than the usual new hero and battle pass to the team shooter. Blizzard announced that Season 18 will introduce a new take on the progression system. As they currently stand, the progression numbers feel pretty divorced from the gameplay; this revamp introduces new ways to display your prowess to teammates and foes in matches as well as some welcome changes to how you see and equip your rewards. The new Progression 2.0 system has overhauled the visua

Apple’s fall product lineup could have one glaring omission this year

AirPods Pro 3 Coming in September? Here's Everything We Know

Recent reports suggest we probably won't see a new version of the AirPods Max this year, but many folks are predicting we will see the AirPods Pro 3 at Apple's iPhone 17 launch event this fall. Apple last updated its flagship AirPods Pro buds in 2022 and released two all-new versions of Apple's open earbuds -- the AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Canceling -- at last year's iPhone 16 event. While there's no guarantee we'll get the AirPods Pro 3 this year, Apple has announced a new model

They were refreshed last year with USB-C connectivity, some new color options and USB-C audio in April of this year. But if a recent report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who's usually a reliable Apple whisperer, proves accurate, we won't be seeing the AirPods Max 2 at Apple's iPhone 17 Event, which is likely to take pl

Virgins Are Reality TV’s Latest Darlings. Their Reasons for Abstaining Are Complicated

“No one believes I’m a virgin” is a common refrain during the premiere of Hulu’s new dating competition series, Are You My First? The reality show centers on “the largest group of eligible virgins ever assembled,” the hosts claim—apart from a high school cafeteria, one might assume—to follow the tried-and-true format that defines shows like Love Island and Too Hot to Handle. A perfectly staged villa’s worth of conventionally attractive people in their twenties and early thirties are sequestered

You likely shouldn’t hold your breath for a new pair of AirPods Max: report

AirPods Max have had a bit of a disappointing history. After much anticipation, they finally released at the tail end of 2020. Some fans were disappointed with the high price tag and rather heavy aluminum and steel design, and have been looking forward to a revamp ever since. Despite being refreshed last year, it was merely just a USB-C port swap and new colors. The headphones still lack in features compared to Apple’s newer AirPods Pro 2, and that likely won’t be changing. Per Mark Gurman’s P

The Hidden Ingredients Behind AI’s Creativity

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. We were once promised self-driving cars and robot maids. Instead, we’ve seen the rise of artificial intelligence systems that can beat us in chess, analyze huge reams of text, and compose sonnets. This has been one of the great surprises of the modern era: physical tasks that are easy for humans turn out to be very difficult for robots, while algorithms are increasingly able to mimic our intellect.

The Pixel Tablet 2 would’ve been great with Android’s new PC-like keyboard and mouse controls

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Right after blowing our minds with the new AI-powered Voice Translate feature on the Pixel 10, Google went and dashed our hopes of seeing a new Pixel Tablet anytime soon. The company told Bloomberg that it has “paused development on a tablet overhaul until it figures out a meaningful future for the category,” which sure sounds like Google has given up on tablets once again. That’s a huge shame, though, because Android has gotten way better on tablets since Goo

I'm a diehard Google Pixel fan - here's why I'm not upgrading to the latest model

Joseph Maldonado/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Google's new Pixel 10 isn't worth the upgrade for me. It comes down to cost, color, and lack of new killer features. Too much AI is also a deterrent. The new Pixel 10 is upon us, and, as usual, Google wants us all to upgrade. For many of us, trading in our current model for a discount on the newer version has become a yearly tradition. I've done it ever since Google adopted the trade-in policy, and it has served me well. However, this year is di
