‘Resident Evil Requiem’ Introduces Its Latest Heavy, the Tentatively Named ‘Big Mama’

In a new interview with IGN, Koshi Nakanishi, the director of Resident Evil Requiem Evil, and its producer, Masato Kumazawa, sat down to discuss the game‘s key “stalker” enemy—a persistent, giant-sized monster who continuously hounds the player throughout the story. As this lineage includes such franchise darlings as Mr. X, Nemesis, and the ever-popular Lady Dimitrescu, designing a new, iconic monster for the series is no small feat. So, what did they come up with this time? Make way for the te

iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 17 Air, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max: New Rumored Specs Compared

While we typically wait until phones are actually released to compare them, Apple's next iPhone models are so highly anticipated that we'll make an exception. We're basing our comparisons on the most credible rumors of what's coming in the iPhone 17 series, including a potential super-thin iPhone 17 Air, to give readers an early sense of how the new series of phones may look. Last year's iPhone 16 series added a handful of upgrades over its predecessors, most notably the new Camera Control key.

This Is How You Log Off

Lauren Goode: I'm so glad we brought you on today. No, I'm genuinely glad, though. Here's my thing, is that I think we've become beta testers. There's this promise right now from the purveyors of technology that agentic AI is going to start doing some of these tasks for us. I won't spend an hour shopping because I'm going to put in a prompt what I need, and then it's going to order it for me. In the meantime, that requires so much babysitting and so much hand holding and so much authentication a

Kirby’s new Switch 2 expansion adds just the right amount of challenge

So I heard you want to play Kirby on hard mode: tough bosses, tricky platforming, complicated puzzles, hidden collectibles, and maybe even punishments for failing. The Star-Crossed World expansion in Kirby and the Forgotten Land’s Switch 2 edition certainly introduces new challenges. There’s pressure from time constraints and consecutive platforming sequences, multistep puzzles, and bosses have more health, varied attacks, and phases. In Star-Crossed World, the promise of a more difficult Kirby

Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. iPhone 16 Pro Max: Has Google closed the gap? [Video]

From jibes to full-blown homage, the Pixel 10 Pro XL owes a lot to the iPhone and, by extension, the 16 Pro Max. Just how does Apple’s best device of last year stack up against Google’s best of this year? Here’s all you need to know. Before we start comparing Apples to Googles, we must acknowledge that things can’t be like-for-like. If you’re an Android person—like us—you probably don’t care about iOS things. If you’re an iOS person, you probably don’t care about Android. That’s absolutely fine

Apple teases new Powerbeats Fit earbuds launching soon

Apple is working on a new flavor of its popular Powerbeats earbuds, dubbed the Powerbeats Fit. Apple teased the new earbuds in a video on YouTube today, referring to them as “fit for every move.” Apple says the Powerbeats Fit are “coming fall 2025.” There’s no word on what’s new with the Powerbeats Fit. They appear to be the follow-up to the Beats Fit Pro, which debuted in 2021. Beats Fit Pro offer a compact in-ear design with an added hook to further secure the fit. They offer features like A

China Takes a Key Step Toward Its ‘Meltdown-Proof’ Nuclear Reactor

China’s ambitious plan to dramatically pull back from fossil fuels is perhaps most evident in the explosive growth of its nuclear energy program. The latest news suggests China may be tantalizingly close to bringing self-cooling reactors to practical use—a development with profound safety implications. In a statement earlier this week, the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) announced that it had recently concluded tests for a residual heat removal system for integral fast reactors (IFRs).

Blogging service TypePad is shutting down and taking all blog content with it

In the olden days, publishing a site on the Internet required that you figure out hosting and have at least some experience with HTML, CSS, and the other languages that make the Internet work. But the emergence of blogging and "Web 2.0" sites in the late '90s and early 2000s gave rise to a constellation of services that would offer to host all of your thoughts without requiring you to build the website part of your website. Many of those services are still around in some form—someone who really

Honest Review of the New Tiami Mattress (2025)

It’s always an exciting day when I get to try out a new mattress brand. Tiami comes from the founder of Leesa, bringing some serious credentials—Leesa’s Sapira Chill is our favorite hybrid mattress.

I’m a certified sleep science coach with more than five and a half years of mattress testing experience, and here are my thoughts after a week of sleeping on this bed.

You’re wrong about the Pixel 10 Pro

When Google finally revealed the Pixel 10 series last week, I was there. I got to attend a secret preview of the phones a week before the launch, and I was in the live audience for the cringeworthy Jimmy Fallon event that showed the phones to the public for the first time. It was an incredibly exciting time for me, because I’m a huge fan of what Google is trying to do with its Pixel line. But you know who wasn’t so excited about it? A lot of you. Almost immediately after the reveal, the intern

I love Nothing’s Android phones, but it’s getting harder to trust them

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Since the launch of the Nothing Phone 1 in 2022, Nothing has marketed itself as “not like the other phone brands.” From product design to offbeat videos showing CEO Carl Pei reacting to reviews, the company has constantly tried to demonstrate how it stands apart from other smartphone makers. However, Nothing has recently been involved in a photo-fakery scandal. Between this latest controversy and previous ones, it’s clear that Nothing isn’t really different from

Scheduling Live Activities for later Last year, Apple’s Sports app gained support for scheduling Live Activities so that they automatically trigger when a game starts. In iOS 26, that same scheduling capability is now available to all third-party apps via a new developer API.

Big News: reMarkable’s E-paper Tablet May Be Getting Small

reMarkable is back, teasing something big (but also maybe small) slated for Sept. 3. In a teaser on YouTube, the company is building hype about the upcoming event with a very brief glimmer of what appears to be a new product. In the teaser, reMarkable includes on-screen text stating that “something is on the move.” I don’t claim to be some kind of riddle-solving brain genius, but I am going to go ahead and guess there’s a deeper meaning to that statement. “Something,” in this case, most likely

I Tested Honor's Rival to Samsung's Z Fold 7 and It's a Skinny Powerhouse

At only 4.1mm thick at its thinnest unfolded point, the Honor Magic V5 is incredibly skinny. In fact, the company has said it's the world's thinnest foldable measuring in just 0.1mm skinnier than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7. That claim is debated -- it depends whether you include the built-in screen protector or not -- but we're almost literally splitting hairs at this point. World's thinnest or not, it's mind-blowingly svelte. Well, it blew my mind, anyway. The other foldables I've been using re

Why China Builds Faster Than the Rest of the World

There’s never been a shortage of hot takes about what really makes the United States and China so different: Capitalism versus socialism; democracy as opposed to authoritarianism; Christianity or Confucianism; equity versus efficiency. In his highly anticipated new book, Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future, Hoover Institution fellow Dan Wang proposes a fresh lens for looking at the world’s two largest superpowers: the US is a “lawyerly society,” he argues, while China is an “engineer
