Activision has unveiled a new battle royale experience for Call of Duty Warzone called Black Ops Royale, a mode designed to revive the survival based gameplay of the original Blackout from Call of Duty Black Ops 4. The new mode is free to play and launches on March 12, bringing a fresh map, new mechanics, and updated systems for modern Warzone players. Unlike traditional Warzone matches, Black Ops Royale removes several familiar mechanics. Players will not have loadouts, buy stations, Gulag respawns, or in-game cash. Everyone begins the match with only a pistol and wingsuit, forcing squads to search the…

Apple just refreshed the Studio Display. It carries the same gorgeous 27-inch 5K screen, same $1,599 price tag, but a handful of changes that’ll either excite you or make you squint at the press release wondering what took so long. Let’s start with what didn’t move. The panel is identical; 5120 x 2880 at 218 pixels per inch, 600 nits, P3 wide color, True Tone. And yes, it still supports 60Hz refresh rate — that looks more like a deliberate choice than a technical limitation. Nano-texture glass is still an optional add-on if your office lighting situation is genuinely terrible.…

Apple’s product blitz shows no signs of slowing down. After unveiling the iPhone 17e and a refreshed iPad Air, the company has now lifted the covers off new MacBook Pro models powered by its M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. The latest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro variants are built to raise the ceiling for performance, particularly in AI-heavy and graphics-intensive workflows. Apple says the M5 Pro and M5 Max feature its fastest CPU cores to date, paired with a redesigned GPU architecture focused on higher throughput and better efficiency. Each GPU core now includes enhanced neural acceleration, allowing complex…

A team of engineers at Rice University has developed a tiny new sensor that could dramatically improve the safety of self-driving cars on public roads. This is a compact, low-power millimeter-wave radar sensor roughly the size of an orange. The new tech, dubbed EyeDar, is designed to work as an “extra set of eyes” by enhancing radar perception in places where a vehicle’s own sensors may struggle, such as blind spots, intersections, or poor visibility conditions. Why existing sensors fall short Typically, autonomous vehicles rely on a suite of sensors like cameras, LiDAR, and radar to “see” their surroundings. While…

SpaceX is targeting this month for the 12th launch of its gargantuan Starship rocket, which comprises the first-stage Super Heavy booster and upper-stage Ship. While much has rested on each and every one of its previous 11 test flights, the first of which took place in April 2023, the next launch is a big deal for the Elon Musk-led spaceflight company. That’s because the mission involves a new version of the rocket, with its design based closely on the one that’s destined for future flights to the moon and possibly even Mars. Version 3 of Starship incorporates structural refinements, more…

Apple has made a meaningful change to its MacBook Pro lineup with the launch of the new M5 Pro and M5 Max models. While most of the spotlight is understandably on the performance gains delivered by the more powerful chips, the company has also updated the base storage across the range. The higher-end M5 Pro and M5 Max configurations now ship with more internal storage, with the M5 Pro models starting at 1TB and the M5 Max models beginning at 2TB. More notably, the company has quietly extended that same shift to the standard M5 model, raising its base storage…

Apple is ending the Pro Display XDR era with a brand-new professional-grade monitor called the Studio Display XDR. It arrives as a new flagship standalone monitor that takes premium display technology and places it into a smaller, brighter, and relatively more affordable package. The Studio Display XDR inherits many of the advanced features creators love from the last-gen model, while improving brightness and adaptability for improved creative and professional workflows. Classic Studio Display features, now XDR enabled Like its non-XDR sibling, this model retains a 27-inch 5K Retina panel with a 5,120 x 2,880 resolution. But the Studio Display XDR…

The big move The arrival of Warframe on Switch 2 marks a major step forward in the game’s near-decade evolution. The new hardware will finally allow the title to run with significantly improved performance, higher visual fidelity, and faster load times. For a game…

A 77-inch OLED under $1,500 is the kind of TV deal that doesn’t need much explanation. It’s just a legitimately big discount on a TV people actually want. The LG 77-inch B5 Series OLED (2025) is down to $1,499.99, which is $1,500 off its $2,999.99 list price. That’s a major cut on a current-model OLED, not some random old stock set that only looks good because the sticker dropped. And at this size, OLED really starts to feel worth it. You’re not just getting a nicer panel. You’re getting the kind of screen that can anchor a room, whether you…

Google is rolling out its March 2026 Pixel Drop, and this one leans heavily into practical AI. Rather than flashy overhauls, the update sharpens tools Pixel users already rely on, while broader Android updates improve how devices connect and solve everyday problems. As usual, the Pixel Drop targets supported Pixel phones first, but several features extend across the wider Android ecosystem. The theme this time is clear: less novelty, more context-aware help. AI gets more proactive on Pixel One of the biggest refinements comes to Circle to Search. The feature, which lets users circle text or objects on-screen to look…
