arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-09 01:46:19

Amazon Prime Video subscribers aren’t the only streaming customers being subjected to longer commercial breaks lately. Warner Bros. Discovery’s (WBD) Max has increased the amount of commercials it shows to US subscribers from approximately four minutes per hour to about six minutes per hour. A US support page for Max currently says that subscribers to Max with ads “can expect about 6 minutes of ads per hour.” But PCWorld noticed this week that this differs from what Max used to claim, which as

A hot potato: A week after a report showed that Amazon Prime has doubled the amount of ads it shows on the platform, it's been discovered that Max is doing the same thing. However, unlike Amazon, Max isn't trying to hide this increase. The streamer's support page confirms that its Max Basic with Ads plan now shows six minutes of ads per hour. According to an archive of the same page (via PCWorld), the plan showed four minutes of ads per hour as recently as February 2025. That means Max's ad loa

But now, with more than two million sales under its belt, Meta has been looking for a way to widen its partnership with eyewear giant and Ray-Ban owner EssilorLuxottica and keep up the momentum. The answer it seems was staring them in the face: a collaboration with the company’s second largest brand, Oakley. “We la

Nintendo Has Something to Say if Your Switch 2 Battery Keeps Running Low

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-03-22 09:06:18

Those making gaming handhelds need to execute a complicated juggling act between how powerful they are and how long you can use them without a charge. With a new screen and more powerful processor, players plugging away on the Switch 2 are finding it hard to strike the right balance. Nintendo claims users should be able to get between 2 and 6 hours of playtime from its 5,220mAh battery. Some players say that number is skewing far too much toward the low end or that their console’s battery levels

It's time for another update on OLED monitor burn-in. As you likely know, we've been aggressively burning in our 4K OLED monitor for 15 months now, so we're going to take a look and see how the display is holding up.

Bottom line: Advances in battery technology combined with more efficient hardware and smarter software have allowed smartphones to reach impressive runtime milestones. To borrow a phrase from the automotive world, however, "there's no replacement for displacement" – meaning capacity is still king. The problem, of course, is that few want to lug around a handset with a giant battery just to get more uptime between charges… or at least, that's what most manufacturers believe.
