More than two years after landing in South Korea, Apple Pay is about to fill one of its biggest gaps in the country: public transportation support. However, the win might be short-lived. Here’s why. Transit card provider Tmoney confirmed Monday that its system will soon work with both iPhones and Apple Watches. Once live, users will be able to tap to pay for subway and bus rides across the country. As observed by Korea JoongAng Daily (via Reddit), there’s no official launch date just yet, but

Borderlands 4 will not cost $80, despite misguided executive comments

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-20 11:56:22

Borderlands 4, the latest entry in Gearbox Software's popular looter shooter franchise, is available to pre-order now for $70, a good $10 less than many assumed it would cost. The game's price first came into question when its September 12 release date was announced without pre-order details, and Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford suggested that whether the game came with a $80 price tag was out of his hands. Pitchford put his foot in his mouth in a thread on X sharing a behind-the-scenes video about

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Android 16 looked to be one of the most impressive upgrades to the mobile operating system in recent times. Google teased some seriously cool features that would elevate Android to the next level. However, although some of those expected features made their way to the final release, some did not. Because some of the more hotly anticipated features have yet to materialize, Android 16 seems (on the surface) to be kinda blah. But don't be fooled. Even though the big U

I'm a big fan of using meat delivery services to have the fixings for dinner delivered right to my door. Getting fresh chicken has made figuring out what to cook up on week nights easier, but I don't always eat everything, and often use the leftovers for lunches. However, I know chicken doesn't have a long shelf life, even after cooking. I recently realized that I might have been flirting with food poisoning by eating chicken that started to turn.

New COVID variant swiftly gains ground in US; concern looms for summer wave

While COVID-19 transmission remains low in the US, health experts are anxious about the potential for a big summer wave as two factors seem set for a collision course: a lull in infection activity that suggests protective responses have likely waned in the population, and a new SARS-CoV-2 variant with an infectious advantage over other variants. The new variant is dubbed NB.1.8.1. Like all the other currently circulating variants, it's a descendant of omicron. Specifically, NB.1.8.1 is derived
