Hollow Knight: Silksong's first patch should give you a chance against its early bosses

Video game difficulty is a real balancing act. You want to be challenged and earn each new level, but when it's too hard there's more frustration than fun. Apparently, a number of players have found the new Hollow Knight: Silksong game a bit too hard, struggling to defeat some of the bosses. Now, Team Cherry, the indie studio behind the Hollow Knight series, is making things a bit easier. Team Cherry has announced Hollow Knight: Silksong's first patch, which includes a "slight difficulty reduct

How External Attack Surface Management helps enterprises manage cyber risk

Every day, businesses spin up new digital services (websites, APIs, and cloud instances) and it can be for security teams to keep track. Somewhere in that churn, an unmonitored subdomain or misconfigured bucket lurks, waiting for an opportunistic attacker to slip in. External Attack Surface Management (EASM) flips the script: instead of reacting to breaches, you map and monitor every internet‑facing asset continuously. Hidden exposures become visible vulnerabilities you can close before they’re

I tried smart glasses with a built-in display, and they beat my Meta Ray-Bans in key ways

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways The Rokid Glasses are launching through Kickstarter, with a retail price of $599.

America’s First Private Nuclear Fuel Recycling Facility to Open in Tennessee

Nuclear energy is among the most promising alternatives to fossil fuels—if we can find a sustainable way to take care of the unwanted, radioactive waste generated by the process. Stakeholders from both the public and private sectors have suggested various solutions, but a Tennessee firm will be the first to actually build and operate a U.S.-based recycling facility for nuclear fuel. In a statement last week, Oklo Inc. announced plans to build the first private nuclear fuel recycling facility in

BMW debuts 6th-generation EV powertrain in the all-electric iX3

BMW provided flights from Washington, DC, to Munich and accommodation so Ars could be briefed on the iX3. Ars does not accept paid editorial content.

These 1080p Smart Glasses Can Be Controlled With a Touch-Sensitive Ring

Smart glasses are pretty exciting right now, not just because they’re increasingly popular, but because they’re not quite mainstream yet, which means companies are still allowed to get very weird with them. It’s in that nascent zone of experimentation that you get some interesting stuff, and that definitely includes Inmo’s Air 3 AR glasses. There are lots of cool / quirky things about Inmo’s Air 3—which announced a Kickstarter as a part of IFA 2025—but my favorite thing is that it tackles one o

33 Unique Gifts for People Who Already Have Everything

If you know someone who appreciates a good tech gadget, they’ll be a big fan of these smart glasses. CNET’s Scott Stein says the Meta Ray-Bans are practical and, oddly, transformative.

He also loves that AI is a "whimsical bonus" with the Meta Ray-Bans. “These are glas

Should the Company Trucks Go Electric? Depends on When You Charge

Should the company switch its trucks, cars, and vans to electric? It’s a question that plenty of businesses operating fleets of vehicles—in industries like delivery, health care, cable companies, and utilities—are thinking through. Eighty-seven percent of fleet operators polled by Cox Automotive last year said they were expecting to bring aboard some battery-powered vehicles in the next five years. Their top concerns weren’t that different from everyday drivers’: Businesses aren’t sure how to k

A New Wave of Smart Glasses Are Coming, but Will They Get Better Fast Enough?

Meta Ray-Bans are one of the most fascinating new pieces of lifestyle tech I've encountered in years -- when I'm wearing them, that is. I don't always have my black Meta Ray-Bans on my face, and there's a good reason for that. Battery life isn't good enough, and it's getting worse over time. On a recent trip to the UK, I wore them to the beach and got a low-battery warning after just one long walk in the tide pools. As impressive as smart glasses are, the battery issues are just some of the pr

Dymesty AI Glasses: Everyday titanium eyewear with a full AI assistant built in

AI-powered smart glasses are all the rage nowadays. However, despite their potential, one of the main issues with smart glasses is their appearance and feel. Most are usually big, bulky, made with plastic to keep the weight low, and have large stems to hold all the tech. It all adds up to quite an uncomfortable experience and often looks out of place. That is the most significant pain point that Dymesty addresses with its AI Glasses. Dymesty created AI glasses that professionals would genuinely

Great, Now I Need a Next-Gen, Cassette Tape-Playing Boombox

If you’re super nostalgic for the days of analog, modern Bluetooth devices probably aren’t cutting it. You can’t pick Bluetooth up; you can’t see it; you can’t… forget to rewind it and then have to wait to start your favorite album over again.
