Battlestar Galactica might finally get the video game adaption it deserves

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-15 03:00:32

In the 16 years since Ronald D. Moore's take on Battlestar Galactica ended its official TV run in 2009, the most surprising thing about the series is that it hasn't inspired many great games. Sure, more than a few releases have carried the Battlestar Galactica name, but none of those have managed to capture what made the 2003 miniseries and later 2004 show so special. That might change early next year when Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes arrives. Ahead of today's announcement of the game,

After some major leaks earlier this month, Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 FE are finally here, and on paper, they look like a pretty good deal. While the “FE” moniker, short for Fan Edition, often signifies a lower price point in exchange for some compromises on features, the new Galaxy Buds 3 FE actually beats Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in a couple of key areas, and one of those battlegrounds is battery life.

How much do electric car batteries degrade?

news.ycombinator.com Hannah Ritchie 2025-11-17 21:53:20

It’s always the battery in my mobile phone that gives up on me first. After just a few years, it can barely make it through the day without getting another charge. Most electric cars have the same types of batteries — usually lithium-ion — so the assumption is that they degrade just as quickly. This is a fairly common fear for people considering a new EV: “Won’t the battery need to be replaced after a few years?”. And I think it’s even more prominent in the second-hand market: “Oh, I’d never bu
