Microsoft is weighing a significant expansion for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The company may bundle several premium services into its $30 tier, potentially packaging subscriptions for World of Warcraft and Minecraft Realms under one roof. The talk started with The Verge’s Tom Warren, who recently noted Microsoft is early in exploring how to grow its Game Pass offerings. Jez Corden later fleshed that out. He claims to have heard Microsoft is specifically looking at tucking those extra subscriptions into Ultimate. Nothing is confirmed. But if it happens, that recent price hike suddenly makes more sense. What extra services might show…

Samsung is once again facing a familiar problem ahead of its latest flagship launch. Details about the upcoming Galaxy S26 series have already surfaced online through a wave of leaks, outlining specifications and features for all three models before the company’s official announcement.

When the spring weather finally breaks, the immediate urge is to take your laptop to the patio or the park. But within five minutes, you realize the sun has turned your expensive screen into a dark, highly reflective mirror. For years, we shopped for screens based on resolution (4K) or refresh rates (120Hz). But if you want to work outside, the only metric that matters is nits (the measurement of brightness) combined with a matte or anti-reflective coating. An average office laptop outputs about 250 to 300 nits, which is immediately washed out by direct sunlight. To overpower the sun,…
The four astronauts preparing to end a five-decade gap in crewed lunar flights will have to wait until at least April before they can begin the Artemis II mission. During the SLS rocket’s second wet dress rehearsal last weekend, NASA discovered an issue with the flow of helium to the rocket’s upper stage. Engineers decided that to fix the problem, the massive rocket, which is currently on the launchpad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, will have to be transported back to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). That four-mile rollback to the VAB is expected to take place on…
We’ve all been there. You spend one weekend nursing a breakup with nothing but sad indie folk, and suddenly, Spotify thinks you’re a completely different person, one who apparently wants to live in a cabin and cry forever. The algorithm means well, but it’s been quite passive (or rather defensive, I’d say). Until now, maybe. From passive to proactive personalization A teardown of Spotify version 9.1.28.385 (via Android Authority) has revealed code strings pointing to a new Notes feature tied to your Taste Profile, the invisible engine behind Discover Weekly, Wrapped, and all those “we think you’ll like this” moments.…
The Fulu Foundation is offering a cash bounty to anyone who can break Ring cameras free from Amazon’s data ecosystem. The goal isn’t breaking into devices for misuse or surveillance. It is about giving owners control over devices already installed in their homes, without forcing those cameras to constantly send data back to Amazon. The @Ring Super Bowl Ad highlighted the inescapable reality that true privacy requires ownership.Consumers should be able to modify their @Ring devices to maintain that privacy, which is why our newest bounty works to ensure consumer control over Ring cameras and to allow…— FULU (@FuluFoundation) February…
CES this year was packed with humanoid robots. From LG’s CLOiD to Boston Dynamics’ Atlas, the show floor was filled with robots designed to handle everything from household chores to assembling cars. Now, Chinese smartphone maker Honor is set to enter the space and plans to unveil its own humanoid robot at the upcoming MWC trade show in Barcelona.
