Image: Epic Games Fortnite’s latest virtual concert was more than just Eminem stomping across a destroyed city — it also teased a number of experiences coming to the game in the future.The Big Bang Event, as it was called, lasted around 10 minutes and whisked players through a variety of spaces. At first, everyone was gathered on the Fortnite OG island to witness a few moments from the game’s past happen again: a rocket launched, a meteor crashed, and then everything was sucked into a black hole.From there, players were sucked into a number of portals, each with a different theme. First, there was an island full of Lego characters running around, fighting and building things. Then there was a futuristic race. Finally, Eminem appeared, and while he... Continue reading…

If you're curious and want to try Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux distributions, we have some good news. It is not necessary to install the operating system in place of Windows 11 or even macOS on a laptop or a desktop. You can safely run the open-source operating system virtually, separate from your primary OS, and on over it in a virtual machine.

This is decidedly not evidence of the existence of parallel realities. | Image: Tessa Coates / Crop: The Verge Depending on how “online” you are, you may have seen a picture floating around socials with a strange quirk: a woman — comedian Tessa Coates — is standing in front of two mirrors in a bridal gown and, somehow, holding three poses at once. Coates insisted in her Instagram post that the picture wasn’t altered; it just came out that way.So what happened? Was it a glitched iOS Live Photo (the iOS feature that takes short videos and picks out the best one)? A faked image manipulated with Photoshop? A brief glimpse into three different, parallel realities? Nope, it’s simpler than all of that. Faruk from the iPhonedo YouTube channel posted a short video to Threads explaining exactly what happened, and it’s much more straightforward than you... Continue reading…

Master Chief, the Spartan hero from Halo, will continue his live-action adventures with two episodes of its second season premiering worldwide on February 8th next year. Paramount Plus announced the date, along with a teaser trailer, during CCXP in Brazil. The teaser trailer doesn’t reveal much about the story, of course. But Paramount Plus says in its release that the new season will see Schreiber’s Master Chief trying to prove that the Covenant (the alien antagonists from the show and the games) are preparing to attack Reach — the humans’ military stronghold that fell prior to the story’s beginning in the first Halo game. If you’ve played that game, you know where this goes, and Paramount Plus hints at it in the release. The Master... Continue reading…

Whether your new SSD is fresh out of the box or falling apart at the seams, there are multiple ways for you to recover your lost data and return your SSD's functionality.

Microsoft has been hyping up Copilot all year in an attempt to make Bing competitive with Edge by leveraging advanced AI and large language models. It's since made its way to Windows 11, Microsoft 365, and more. After settling on a formal branding, the company recently decided to bring Copilot to Windows 10, an operating system that has otherwise received no significant updates since 2021 when Windows 11 launched (and arguably even before then).

Fallout. | Image: Prime Video War never changes — and neither do the vibes in Fallout. After a bit of teasing, Amazon just released the first teaser trailer for its live-action adaption of Fallout, and it starts out a lot like the games: a vault dweller leaves the comfort of their home to explore the dangerous postapocalyptic wasteland outside. And boy, are things dangerous.This time around, the vault dweller is named Lucy (Yellowjackets’ Ella Purnell), and she experiences a lot of the series’ key moments in the short trailer. That means horribly mutated animals, slapped-together cities, the militant Brotherhood of Steel, vault uprisings, some Wild West shootouts, and a very good dog who is also a killer. And of course, there are the classic tunes — in this case,... Continue reading…
