Microsoft has ended 'active development' on Contraband

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-07 10:53:33

The upheaval continues for gaming at Microsoft. The latest victim appears to be Contraband, a planned release from Avalanche Studios with Xbox Game Studios as publisher. The co-op open-world game from the studio behind the entertaining Just Cause series was teased in a brief, mostly atmospheric trailer at E3 2021. But very little had been heard since about the project, and it seems the axe is currently hanging pretty precariously above Contraband. "Active development has now stopped while we ev

Apple Notes gets more powerful every year, and iOS 26 adds its own batch of new features. With new capabilities comes the threat of feature bloat, but Notes has a clever solution that makes its ever-growing set of tools more easily accessible in iOS 26. iOS 26 gives Apple Notes an ‘adaptive toolbar’ Notes was once an extremely simple iPhone app. Features were minimal, as Apple prioritized just making it a quick place to jot down notes.

A Sonos Price Hike Is About to Make a Bad Situation Even Worse

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-07 20:12:48

As a company, there are lots of things you can do when people are upset with your product. You could offer concessions (discounts in an effort to drive demand), swap your CEO (that’s a statement and a vibe shift), or you could pledge to do better and actually fix issues making people upset (imagine that!). One thing I would not recommend doing when times are tough, however, is raising prices, but Sonos seems to have been forced into this exact scenario. According to Sonos’ newish CEO, Tom Conra

However, in contrast to its lightning-fast success in terms of the remarkable technology development of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, human space exploration has been confined in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for the past 50 years.

Researchers around the world set to work unraveling the mystery, reviewing readings from satellites, aircraft, and greenhouse-gas monitoring stations. They eventually spotted a clear pattern: Methane emissions had increased sharply across the tropics, where wetlands were growing wetter and warmer. That created the ideal conditions for microbes that thrive in anaerobic muck, which gobbled up more of the carbon-rich organic matter and spat out more methane as a by-product.

The Emperor's New Trade Deal – Paul Krugman

On Tuesday Donald Trump went on CNBC to explain why the European Union is facing a tariff of “only” 15 percent. But what he said was simply delusional — and the delusion should be even more concerning than the tariffs. The Europeans, Trump asserted, had agreed to cough up $600 billion, which he described as a “gift,” not a loan. And he emphasized that this is “$600 billion to invest in anything I want. Anything. I can do anything I want with it.” So Trump apparently believes that the European
