Dotemu’s CEO wants to bring back classic games the right way

I grew up with arcade beat-em-ups like Konami’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time and X-Men. It was a genre I loved, so I was sad to see it diminish in relevance. Thankfully, beat-em-ups have had a revival, thanks in part to publishers like Dotemu and developers like Tribute Games. The two teamed up for 2022’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, a worthy successor to Turtles in Time. Now, they’re working on Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Like Shredder’s Revenge, it’s a classi

The real reason people buy new iPhones (hint: it’s not AI)

Apple doesn’t report sales numbers anymore, but analysts estimate the company sells hundreds of millions of new iPhones every year. While many 9to5Mac readers may buy new models for features like camera upgrades or Apple Intelligence, new data reveals very different motivations for the vast majority of buyers. iPhone sales are driven by broken, malfunctioning phones far more than anything else CIRP has just published a new report offering insights into what prompts new iPhone purchases.

Think of a Number

My feed was recently clogged up with news articles reporting that Sam Altman thinks that AGI is here, or will be here next year, or whatever. I will refrain from giving even more air to this nonsense by linking to the stories. This kind of irresponsible hype-generation drives me nuts (although it also drives up stock prices so I can see why the tech bros are motivated to do it). Sure AI can have a good crack at undergraduate mathematics right now, and sure that’s pretty amazing. But our universi

US Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee’s Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

The US Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Wednesday upheld the state of Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors. In a 6–3 decision in United States v. Skrmetti, the justices found that Tennessee’s law is not unconstitutional. The central issue of the case was whether Tennessee’s ban violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, which states that the government cannot discriminate against individuals based on their race, gender, or other characteristics. The rulin

The whiplash of covering Summer Game Fest 2025 in LA

I love going to Summer Game Fest. It’s a rare opportunity to connect with my colleagues and friends in person, as well as listen to developers talk about why they make their games. In some ways, this year’s SGF gave me everything I love about the event. But while I was comfortably ensconced in a happy bubble, the escalating conflict between demonstrators protesting against immigration raids and the Los Angeles Police Department cast a dark and soul-shaking pall that could not be ignored.

Thieves steal almost 3,000 Switch 2 consoles worth $1.4 million from truck headed to Texas GameStop

What just happened? Thieves have made off with almost 3,000 Switch 2 consoles after stealing them from a truck that was heading to a GameStop store in Texas. It's estimated that the value of the stolen goods was somewhere around $1.4 million, and the incident will doubtlessly affect stock levels at the store until replacements arrive. Authorities say that the 2,810 Nintendo Switch 2 consoles were stolen from the back of a semi-truck as it made its way from Nintendo of America's Redmond headquar

Old Video Shows Elon Musk Saying That What Tesla's Launching This Month Wouldn't Count as Full Self-Driving

The launch date for Tesla's long-awaited robotaxi service in Austin, Texas continues to slip, raising embarrassing questions for the company. For one, the modified Model Y SUVs that will initially make up the EV maker's robotaxi fleet won't technically be driverless, because they'll be teleoperated by human employees if anything goes wrong. They'll also be geofenced to only the easiest areas to drive in, which as Electrek points out is a fascinating example of how CEO Elon Musk has moved goalp

Tesla Stock Plummets as Company Abruptly Halts Production of Cybertruck and Model Y

Tesla is pausing production of the Cybertruck and its newly-retooled Model Y, and the stock market is already responding. On the heels of a new Business Insider report about the production shutdown, which is purportedly slated for the week of June 30 based on insider interviews, the company's stock fell to about $316, which was almost four percent lower than it was at the start of the day. To make matters worse, Tesla stock was already sliding thanks to CEO Elon Musk's Robotaxi pilot being push

Grab these free retro Sega games for iPhone before it’s too late

If you’re a fan of retro Sega games – or just think you might be – you’ll want to download nine of them to your iPhone before they are discontinued … CNET’s Zachary McAuliffe spotted the warning message when downloading a couple of them. I downloaded Crazy Taxi and Streets of Rage, and after I started these games, I saw a screen that said support for the games will be discontinued soon. The screen also says you can play these games offline even after support ends. All nine are currently free

iOS 26 will fix CarPlay’s most annoying Messages problem

It’s turning out to be a huge year for CarPlay, surprising many of us after years of middling updates.

CarPlay in iOS 26 brings support for Messages tapbacks Ever since Apple unveiled the “next generation of CarPlay” in 2022, new updates for the standard CarPlay experience have been fairly underwhelming.

The idea of smart glasses has been around for decades, but the technology is finally catching up. The best smart glasses can entertain, guide us with directions, help us document our lives, and even teach us about the world around us, but the category is incredibly varied, and not all smart glasses have the same features.

The quest to defend against tech in intimate partner violence

As technology evolved, the ways abusers took advantage evolved too.
