Everything announced at Amazon's fall hardware event

It's not technically Techtober yet since we’re one day shy, but we've already had a bunch of fall hardware events from some of the bigger companies in the tech space. Today, it was Amazon's turn to step up to the plate. Going into its event, the company teased new Echo speakers and Kindle news.

Indeed,

VMware Certification Is Surging in a Shifting IT Landscape

Across the IT industry, certification is on the rise.

As both practitioners and enterprises look for ways to keep pace with change, certification offers a tangible solution to security breaches and an ever-changing technology landscape.

The Morning After: What to expect from Amazon’s big devices event today

The fall tech events just won’t stop. Today, Amazon has its fall hardware event, which is likely to reveal improvements to voice assistant Alexa and some new Echo homes for it to live inside. It’s been a couple years since the Echo Show got an update, and it’s been even longer for the standard Echo. The invitation suggests we’re expecting some Kindle upgrades too — the image on the invitation is a Kindle with a color illustration. The Kindle Scribe 2 came out earlier this year as did the Kindle

Sony has been marking the 30th anniversary of PlayStation by selling you stuff, like PS5 consoles and accessories styled after the PS1.

Welcome to our latest roundup of what's going on in the indie game space. It's been a packed week, with tons of new releases worth highlighting and Tokyo Game Show taking place. Before we get started, make sure to check out our recap of Kojima Productions' 10th anniversary showcase if you need to catch up.

The long-awaited sidescroller Possessor(s) will be available on November 11 for PC and PS5. It's a horror-tinged action game with Metroidvania elements. It also happens to look extremely beautiful . The game was developed by Heart Machine, which is the same company behind Hyper Light Drifter and its prequel Hyper Light Breaker . Publishing duties fall to Devolver, which has had a hand in a boatload of recent indie hits from Enter the Gungeon to Cult of the Lamb. The developer just dropped a lau

Fire Emblem Shadows mixes in a little social deduction with its tactics

Nintendo recently announced that the next mainline Fire Emblem game is coming in 2026, and it looks like the company has another take on the popular strategy series to tide you over while you wait. Fire Emblem Shadows is a new mobile spin-off that combines the series' tactics gameplay with some of the social dedication mechanics popularized by games like Among Us, and it's available to download now. Shadows follows groups of heroes — the typical collection of royals, rogues and anime archetypes

Proton Mail's redesigned mobile app is built for speed

If you use Proton Mail on your phone, things are about to pick up. The company is rolling out new apps for Android and iOS. The updated mobile applications are rebuilt from the ground up with a "cleaner, faster and more private experience." Proton first announced in April that it was working on the revamp. The company says the new Proton Mail lets you scroll, archive and reply twice as fast as before. It also now supports an offline mode, allowing you to read, write and organize messages while

Marvel's Wolverine slices his way onto PS5 in fall 2026

The rumors of Marvel's Wolverine showing up during Sony's September State of Play turned out to be true after all. The trailer was our first decent look (well, first official one, anyway) at the game since it was announced back in 2021. Sony and Insomniac Games revealed a release window too: Marvel's Wolverine is coming to PS5 in fall 2026. A gruff-sounding Liam McIntyre (Spartacus: Vengeance, JD Fenix in Gears of War 4 and Gears 5) is taking on the mantle of Logan here. As creative director Ma

Valve rolls out a new Steam store menu to make it easier to find games

Valve has broadly rolled out a new Steam store menu after testing it since July . This redesign is available for the standard Steam PC client, the Steam Deck and Steam Mobile. The big news here is that the update makes it easier to find stuff you want to play, which is a good move given the clutter of the current Steam store. Everything has been streamlined, with a new search menu existing up top. This search menu includes options for top sellers, new releases, discounted games and more. These

Spotify now directly integrates with DJ software

Spotify just announced integration with popular DJ software platforms like rekordbox, Serato and djay. This will make it much easier to build out sets from playlists and to do cool stuff like blend tracks. The company says that users "will be able to access their entire library and playlists directly within desktop DJ software," with just one caveat. This is only for Premium subscribers. The integration is available in 51 global markets. It looks pretty easy to get started. Just log into a Pre

Microsoft claims a 'breakthrough' in AI chip cooling

AI is an enormous energy drain, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions at a time when the planet desperately needs progress in the opposite direction. Although most of that comes from running GPUs, cooling them is another significant overhead. So, it's worth noting when a company of Microsoft's stature claims to have achieved a breakthrough in chip cooling. Microsoft's new system is based on microfluidics, a method long pursued but hard to implement. The company claims its approach could lead

Riot's 2XKO fighting game hits early access on October 7

Riot's long-awaited fighting game 2XKO, previously called Project L , will be released for PC as an early access title on October 7 . That's just two weeks away. The company dropped a development update video that's filled with nods to the source material. 2XKO is set in the League of Legends universe and features many characters from across the franchise. Players can fight as icons like Jinx, Yasui, Braum and many more. The early access version will feature 10 playable characters, with more co

Rokid's smartglasses are surprisingly capable

Meta put the smartglasses industry on alert when it announced the Meta Ray-Ban Displays last week. And while those might feature one of the most advanced optical engines on a device its size, after testing out one of its competitors — the Rokid Glasses — I'm convinced there's still plenty of room for competition. At $549, the Rokid Glasses are more affordable than the Meta Ray-Ban Displays, which are set to launch at $800. However, it should be noted that this difference won't last forever, as

The Death Stranding anime now has a title and its first trailer

The long-running joke about Hideo Kojima is that he’d secretly rather be making movies than video games. Kojima somehow nearly got into double figures on Metal Gear games without any of them receiving the adaptation treatment (though not for the lack of trying on his part), but it’s looking like a very different story for the Death Stranding series on which he’s been working since departing Konami. A live-action adaptation of the post-apocalyptic walking simulator landed a writer and director b

Hideo Kojima's OD captures the spirit of P.T. in the first gameplay trailer

Kojima Productions, the studio helmed by auteur and famed cardboard box enthusiast Hideo Kojima, has finally given us our first glimpse of gameplay for the horror game OD. Developed in collaboration with Get Out and Us director Jordan Peele, OD is being billed as a totally unique experience that Kojima expects to divide players. It’s also going to leverage Microsoft’s cloud gaming tech in ways we’re not yet aware of, with Xbox Game Studios publishing the game. In the new just over three-minute

Palworld: Palfarm might be the creepiest farming game ever

Palworld is getting as spinoff that looks both cozy and terrifying — oh, and filled with characters that look exactly like Pokémon. In Palworld: Palfarm, you move to the Palpagos Islands and create a farm alongside Pals. These creatures help with farm work, cook and can even become friends. According to an announcement on Steam, "Through daily conversations, working together, or giving gifts from time to time, you can gradually deepen your relationships with both the Pals and the people of the

SpaceX's lunar lander could be 'years late' for a planned 2027 mission to the moon

SpaceX's lunar lander has run into a snag and may not be ready for a mission to the moon that was scheduled for 2027, according to a report by Space News . The company's Starship Human Landing System (HLS) is a variant of the typical Starship spacecraft that has been designed to transport astronauts between lunar orbit and the surface of the moon. “The HLS schedule is significantly challenged and, in our estimation, could be years late for a 2027 Artemis 3 moon landing,” said NASA safety analys

eBay to acquire social marketplace platform Tise

eBay announced on Monday that it’s acquiring Tise, a social marketplace for second-hand fashion and interior design items. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. eBay says the Oslo, Norway-based company’s platform will open the door to a community of Gen Z and millennial customers. The company also says Tise’s community features, such as the ability to follow sellers, like and comment on listings, and receive personalized product recommendations, along with its focus on current inv

Dear Samsung, please stop ruining your best gadgets with horrible ads

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority Advertisements are a known consequence of online life in 2025. When you watch a YouTube video, scroll through social media, or open an article like this one you’re reading right now, it’s normal and expected to see ads. Some advertising is more aggressive than others, but you know what you’re getting into when you use any facet of the modern internet. However, there are other times when ads appear in unexpected places. These could be ads in the digital wallet ap

Patapon's spiritual successor, co-op Lego and other new indie games worth checking out

Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit

ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! on September 17 after the late-night host commented on the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. His monologue suggested Trump supporters were trying to reframe the shooter’s political ties, which drew backlash from the FCC and major ABC affiliates. ABC replaced the program with reruns, sparking accusations of censorship and igniting a boycott campaign against Disney, its parent company. Overwhelming public reaction The suspension triggered strong resp

Elon Musk's Neuralink plans a brain speech trial in October

Neuralink plans to begin another US clinical trial in October, using the implant to translate thoughts into text. The study will be held through an FDA investigational device exemption. "If you're imagining saying something, we would be able to pick that up," Neuralink president DJ Seo said this week. The idea is to help people with speech impairments communicate through thought. Neuralink is among the companies testing implants that help patients control a computer with their minds. That can i

The Morning After: Meta's Ray-Ban Display is the closest thing yet to true smart glasses

Revealed at Meta’s Connect 2025 conference, the Ray-Ban Display has a small, integrated display on the right lens, designed for quick, discreet glances at notifications, directions and even video calls. The clever part is its subtlety; to an onlooker, you’re just wearing a pair of Ray-Bans, not accessing a tiny screen with your peripheral vision. (Although you will appear to offer multiple pensive stares into the middle-distance) Paired with a Meta Neural Band, which you wear on your wrist, the

Meta Ray-Ban Display hands-on: Discreet and intuitive

I've been testing smart glasses for almost a decade. And in that time, one of the questions I've been asked the most is "oh, but can you see anything in them?" For years, I had to explain that no, glasses like that don't really exist yet. That's no longer the case. And while I've seen a bunch of glasses over the last year that have some kind of display, the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses feel the closest to fulfilling what so many people envision when they hear the words "smart glasses." To be c
