The 2021 Mazda CX-30 will get a 2.5-litre inline four cylinder turbocharged engine as an option, the company said Thursday. That’s the same 250-horsepower engine also seen in the CX-9, CX-5, and the Mazda 6, and is probably enough power to turn a few heads in a CX-30. To get…
Sony’s PlayStation Plus Collection will grant shiny new PS5 owners with PS Plus subscriptions a pretty big library of games to play on day one, but there’s still a lot of gold in the PlayStation 4 library that isn’t included.
Get some faster and more affordable storage in your life with our guide to buying the right SSD for your needs. What is an SSD? When SSDs – that’s Solid State Drives for the uninitiated – first burst onto the scene, there were two easy ways to tell them apart…
Dublin’s screen history reflects its real-life contradictions – at once the debased urban counterpart to the “real” Ireland of romantic rolling green hills and dramatic seascapes, and the wellspring of literary modernism, rock music and all-night party culture. If one film best captured how Ireland’s capital imagined itself, it was…
If pre-ordering the PS5 hasn’t totally decimated your bank account – or if you missed out and have a chunk of change burning a hole in your pocket – Oculus has also opened up pre-orders for the Oculus Quest 2. The Oculus Quest 2 comes in two storage sizes, both…
With iOS 14 now officially here, it was only a matter of time before we started hearing about the bugs. There are always bugs — some are more inconsequential than others.
One of Nintendo’s most beloved handheld consoles, the 3DS, has been discontinued. Nintendo confirmed in a statement today to Polygon that “manufacturing of the Nintendo 3DS family of systems has ended.” The announcement comes a little over a year after Nintendo said the Switch Lite wasn’t going to replace the…
Lovecraft Country is an ensemble show about multiple members of the interconnected Freeman, Baptiste, and Braithwaite families, which made it important for certain characters to be expanded upon from their counterparts in the books. In particular, Wunmi Mosaku’s Ruby and Abbey Lee’s Christina have been given more fascinating arcs in…
The easiest way to sell something is to tell people it will help them not die or get hurt. This is definitely true when it comes to the Apple Watch, a product whose — arguably excellent — marketing message is, “wear this and you might survive a heart attack.”
The RTX 3080 is already sold out everywhere, and as soon as something sells out people like to then resell it, which means there are plenty of auctions on Ebay. But who on earth just bought the Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 for $96,000. What the fuck?! $96,ooo?! Who would buy…
Earlier this year, conservationists in South Africa discovered two adult giraffes struck down by lightning, signalling a potentially underrated risk for this majestic species.
Disney World in Florida has been busy prepping for the holiday season (during an ongoing pandemic). This comes as the California Attractions and Parks Association urges Governor Gavin Newsom to reopen Disneyland (even though the state is facing one of the worst fire seasons in history). Clearly, neither of these…
In recent years, world leaders have taken steps to curb plastic pollution in the oceans, But a new study, published in Science on Thursday, says these measures are nowhere near enough to get the problem under control.
Hopefully this time around he’ll learn there are better masks than a cowl.
How do you explain death to a young child? That’s the premise behind the first trailer for The Place of No Words, a movie about a father and son using the world of make-believe to help deal with tragedy and grief.
The first set pictures from Uncharted are suited and ready to go. IFC Midnight has tapped Iranian horror movie The Night for a U.S. release. Surprise, there’s a Croods sequel, and it’s had its theatre release pushed forward!? Plus, more teasing for The Outpost’s return and WandaVision is still on…
Intel’s Tiger Lake could be the leap intergrated graphics and processing power Intel’s needed for the last half-decade. My immediate thought when Intel announced its long-awaited Tiger Lake 11th-gen mobile processors earlier this month was, “Of all the times for Apple to move to its own CPU.” The claimed performance…
Nissan finally pulled out of its torpor and did something exciting that didn’t involve smuggling a disgraced CEO in a suitcase: they finally showed a new Z car. If Nissan still has an iconic car in its stable, it has to be the Z, which has been around in various…
Among small convertible sports cars, it’s usually the Mazda Miata, Honda S2000, and even the first-gen Audi TT that tend to get all the love. Cast aside like an automotive reject, though, is the third-generation Toyota MR2 Spyder, and — after having driven one for a month — I’ve decided…
When so many of us this year are asking daily “oh god, what now?” some residents of the Garden State looked up to the sky in hope and thought they saw the answer: a UFO. Unfortunately, this was no free ride off our doomed rock. It seemed to be hovering…
The tiny British jeep/golf cart thing you might have seen cruising around beach towns and island communities is called a Moke. It’s a low-speed multi-terrain getaround vehicle that came out in the 1960s and, I guess, “is back” according to a press release. More pressingly: The online configurator is fun….
Our pals over at Car Design Archives have uncovered another absolute treasure cache — pictures of prototypes of the Renault Rodéo, the fun car-version of the Renault 4, much like what the Volkswagen Thing was to the Beetle, or the Citroën Mehari was to the 2CV, or Austin Moke was…
While Sony’s biggest news this week is the PS5 pricing and release date, it had a few other things to show off. One was a new PlayStation Plus Collection that adds a ton of classic PS4 games to the subscription service. Here’s what you’ll get. Xbox Game Pass has been…
High on the list of things you’d rather not actually be doing has got to be running around Jurassic Park with a bunch of ferocious, free-roaming dinosaurs. You may, however, may want to emulate the experience from the comfort of your own home.
Controversial changes ordered by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy caused an estimated 85 million more packages to arrive late in one week and, in some districts, nearly a 20 per cent drop in on-time deliveries, a new Senate report finds.
With only a couple of months until launch, it’s been a little weird that we haven’t gotten an exact date or price for Sony’s next flagship console. In a stream today the company finally announced both. The Sony PS5 will cost a whopping $749.95, and the disc-free Digital Edition will…
Over the course of five years, Facebook executives received numerous warnings that event pages were being used to organise hate rallies and other far-right gatherings that encouraged violent threats against others, a leading U.S. civil rights organisation says.
Any interior designer will tell you a splash of colour can really help a room pop, but what if your goal is creating a space that’s boring and entirely forgettable? Instead of reaching for a vibrant shade from Benjamin Moore, just grab a can of this Commodore 64-coloured spray paint…
I tried the Virtual Boy more than 20 years ago and was almost instantly disappointed, but I’ve still dreamed of having a simple, standalone VR headset that could transport me to other worlds at a moment’s notice. And while the original Oculus Quest was a valiant attempt to make that…
You had us at “time-bending sci-fi film starring the next Captain America.” But it seems there’s much more going on than just that in the new film Synchronic.
The unprecedented discovery of a Jupiter-sized planet in orbit around a white dwarf star suggests it’s possible for planets to survive the tumultuous death throes of their parent stars.
It wasn’t long ago that action cameras were in an arms race to make the smallest possible device. In fact, a smaller profile was one of the things GoPro was boasting about just last year with the launch of the Hero8 Black. So, it’s a bit of a surprise that…
Garmin is the MVP when it comes to GPS-tracking watches made for athletes. Every serious runner in my life swears by their Garmin, despite the fact that you can easily find a cheaper, a more stylish, lifestyle-focused smartwatch with GPS built right in (which was not the case when Garmin…
