The Osmo 360 is DJI’s first 360-degree action camera. | Image: DJI DJI has announced the company’s first 360-degree action camera designed to compete with the Insta360 X5 and the aging GoPro Max (which the company is planning to replace soon). The new DJI Osmo 360 slightly edges out the X5’s recording capabilities by capturing 8K videos at 50fps instead of 30fps, and features a design that’s both smaller and nearly 20 grams lighter than the Insta360’s. We just don’t know how much the Osmo 360 will cost because DJI hasn’t revealed when it will be coming to the US.The Osmo 360 doesn’t feature swappable lenses, but unlike the X5, which uses only part of its rectangular 1/1.28-inch sensors, DJI’s 360-degree camera uses all of its new 1-inch square-shaped HDR sensors. The company says that this “reduces unnecessary bulk” and helps keep the camera compact and light at 183 grams. The Osmo 360 also captures 10-bit video, which offers more creative freedom when color correcting footage afterward, while the X5 is limited to 8-bit.The camera’s 1,950mAh battery is slightly smaller than the 2,400mAh one in the X5, but DJI says the Osmo 360 can continuously record at 8K/30fps for up to 100 minutes on a full charge without overheating. Frame rates can be boosted to 60fps when dropping the resolution to 6K, or go as high as 100fps at 4K, but its slow-motion capabilities are slightly edged out by the X5, which can record 4K video at 120fps. When shooting with just a single lens, you can push 4K recording to 120fps on the Osmo 360, and you can switch back and forth between the camera’s two lenses without stopping recording.The Osmo 360 can capture 360-degree still images at 120 megapixels, which is nearly twice the 72-megapixel resolution of pictures captured by the Insta360 X5. But if you want to capture HDR images so you can do more post-processing, you’ll need to drop the resolution to 30MP. Other useful features include both voice and gesture controls for starting or stopping recording remotely; DJI’s HorizonSteady and RockSteady stabilization, which can smooth out shaky footage without removing dynamic motion; and the ability to track and keep people, vehicles, and pets as the focus of a video when exporting clips from the DJI Mimo mobile app.The Osmo 360 also features 105GB of built-in storage and can simultaneously connect to two of DJI’s popular wireless microphones and record two separate audio tracks without the need for a receiver. Optional accessories include a Battery Extension Rod that extends 8K/30fps recording by an additional 180 minutes, transparent lens protectors, and several selfie sticks that attach to the Osmo 360’s threaded tripod mount, including one that extends to over 8 feet long.Although it won’t launch in the US, the Osmo 360 will be available in all the other regions where DJI already sells its products. In Europe it will sell for €479.99, while an Adventure Combo, which adds accessories like a selfie stick and a multifunction battery case, will be €629.99. Canadian pricing, which is listed in US dollars, is $430 or $580 for the Adventure Combo, but DJI says that doesn’t reflect what the Osmo 360 will cost when available in the US.

These days, it feels like there's a new AI tool dropping every other day. If there's one thing you need to know about me, it's that I absolutely love testing every tool that comes out, especially if it's packed with features meant to cut down the time I spend doing the boring, repetitive stuff. Out of all the tools I've tested so far, Google's AI research assistant is the one that's grown on me the most.

With the Switch 2, Nintendo seems to be closing the release date gap with some of its third-party games. It's a problem that plagued previous Nintendo consoles, which often received games years after other platforms, if at all.While today's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase may have lacked the splash of anticipated third-party games like Hades 2 or FromSoftware's The Duskbloods, what was on display offered some interesting insight. Showcases like this one offer Nintendo's second- and third-party development and publishing partners the chance to show off what they've got on the way. In the original Switch days, multiplatform games like Con …Read the full story at The Verge.

Tesla’s newly launched ridehailing service in San Francisco isn’t quite ready for the “robotaxi” designation. After launching its robotaxi rides in Austin, Texas, with a “safety monitor” in the passenger seat last month, a video of Tesla’s service in San Francisco shows a vehicle arriving with a human at the wheel, as reported earlier by Business Insider.California requires companies to obtain three permits to operate a commercial robotaxi service. So far, the state has granted Tesla just one of the permits, allowing it to run a ridehailing service with a human in the driver’s seat. The Alphabet-owned Waymo is currently the only company with all the permits to offer commercial driverless rides in San Francisco.Even though the service in Texas and California hasn’t yet achieved Musk’s promise of operating with “no one in the car,” Musk told Tesla investors last week that he plans to expand robotaxi service to Florida, Nevada, and Arizona.

October is fast approaching, and with it comes the end-of-support date for Windows 10. We already know Microsoft's stance on the matter, plus the methods people can use to continue receiving security updates in the future. However, we haven't seen a great deal of announcements from third-party companies as to whether or not they'll continue to develop for Windows 10 once October passes.

Retro PC projects are fun because not only do they invoke nostalgia, but also give enthusiasts the joy of pushing the boundaries of old software and seeing what's possible. Admittedly, not all retro PC projects are exciting, but some are impressive enough to convince you to try them yourself.

Since network-attached storage (NAS) runs continuously, it's vital to consider maximizing the efficiency of each watt to ensure you're not wasting any valuable power. You could replace the mechanical hard disk drive (HDD) with a faster solid-state drive (SSD) to save power and improve performance slightly, but you're limited to the SATA connection. Additionally, there are other lesser-known ways to optimize performance and power draw.

The reception of Star Wars Outlaws when it was released in 2024 was less than ideal for a company like Ubisoft. The game was based on one of the biggest franchises of all-time, and tackled a gameplay design that had not been successfully done before. It should have been a slam dunk for developer Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft, but instead the game had a lukewarm response from players. The result was a Star Wars game that fell below Ubisoft's expectations and bad word-of-mouth among Star Wars fans, with a lack of excitement for post-release content and major updates. Unfortunately, Star Wars Outlaws just wasn't the hit that everyone wanted it to be.

Aaron Sorkin is writing and directing a follow-up to The Social Network, and Jeremy Strong is reportedly the lead candidate to play Mark Zuckerberg. According to Deadline, “Sources say no formal offer has been presented but that he is the top choice to play the Facebook founder.” Jesse Eisenberg played Zuckerberg in the first film.Deadline reported on the new film, The Social Network Part II, late last month. It will apparently delve into the story of the Facebook Files, a series of articles from The Wall Street Journal that reported on harms caused by Meta’s platforms (at the time, the company was called Facebook) based on leaked documents. Last night, Deadline also reported that Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White are also leading picks for roles in the new film. However, like with Strong, “no formal offers have been given to either actor,” according to Deadline’s “insiders.” Deadline said that White will “ideally” play Jeff Horwitz, a former WSJ journalist who wrote many of the articles in the Facebook Files series, while Madison will likely play Frances Haugen, a former Facebook employee who was the whistleblower behind the documents.The first Social Network movie was released in 2010.

Following an appeals court victory on Thursday, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney tweeted that “the Epic Games Store for Android will be coming to the Google Play Store.” This is despite Google’s plan to appeal the Ninth Circuit panel’s decision, which declined to overturn a 2023 jury verdict that Google’s app store and payment system had become illegal monopolies.There’s no detail yet on timing, but it would make accessing Fortnite and other Epic-distributed games much simpler on Android devices, without relying on sideloading or making deals with phone manufacturers to preload the store. On iPhone and iPad, the mobile version of the Epic Games Store is still only available in the European Union, but Android users could sideload it from the web since the apps launched last fall.Epic may not be the only company to put a rival app store inside of Google’s Play Store in the near future. The Ninth Circuit appears to have lifted a stay on the entire permanent injunction that Epic won against Google’s app store monopolies, and that injunction would force Google to crack open Android for other third-party stores as well. “The stay is lifted,” Epic spokesperson Cat McCormack confirms to The Verge.The Epic Games Store on Android maintains your persistent status in games across platforms, and earlier this year, the company brought its weekly free games program to the mobile stores, too. It also has other Epic games, like Fall Guys and Rocket League Sideswipe. In a statement provided to The Verge, Google’s global head of regulatory affairs Lee-Anne Mulholland said, “This decision will significantly harm user safety, limit choice, and undermine the innovation that has always been central to the Android ecosystem. Our top priority remains protecting our users, developers and partners, and maintaining a secure platform as we continue our appeal.”Thanks to the verdict, the Epic Games Store for Android will be coming to the Google Play Store! It's already available worldwide from our web site, https://t.co/f77ZSrBMGd.Epic Games Store for PC already carries several other PC stores (https://t.co/92elnB3IGv, GOG Galaxy). https://t.co/4ndkMmhLUX— Tim Sweeney (@TimSweeneyEpic) July 31, 2025

This is one of those mini PCs that offers a lot of power for a great price. It features an AMD Ryzen 7 processor that's paired with 32GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. In addition, you get an excellent selection of ports, along with a Radeon RX Vega graphics chip that allows you to play some of the best games right out of the box.

For more than a decade at this point, 4K has been the final destination for PC gaming. Despite lofty (and empty) promises of a new frontier of 8K gaming, things really top out at 4K. It's the ideal end point for PC gaming, but I'm not using a 4K monitor anymore. I'm using a 1440p one, and I don't know if I'll ever go back.
