Android is (unofficially) available for the Nintendo Switch

[ad_1] It’s even based on the Android tree associated with NVIDIA’s Shield TV, so Tegra-exclusive titles like Borderlands and Half-Life 2 will run. It’d be an understatement to say there are caveats with this firmware. Even if you can live with the bugs, you shouldn’t expect support from Nintendo if things go haywire. You also […]

Amazon’s ‘Transparent’ ends with a musical finale on September 27th

[ad_1] The finale marks not just the end to one of Amazon’s earliest original shows (it’s finishing almost exactly five years after its September 26th, 2014 premiere), but the close to an era for Prime Video as a whole. Transparent came about at a time when Amazon was taking larger risks and was satisfied so […]

The best electric razor

[ad_1] The Braun Series 7’s cleaning and charging system is typical of those available for our other picks. A large docking station holds the shaver, head down.

Watch the Mars 2020 rover do a biceps curl with an 88-pound turret

[ad_1] Mars 2020’s turret weighs that much, because it’s equipped with HD cameras and a rich collection of sensors and science instruments, including a percussive drill and coring mechanism. While Martian gravity is only about 38 percent of our planet’s, the ground team still made sure the arm is sturdy and strong enough to be […]

Amazon cancels podcast-inspired ‘Lore’ after two seasons

[ad_1] The cancellation could make some TV producers nervous. Networks like HBO, FX and Showtime have all banked on podcast-inspired TV shows in the wake of Amazon’s deal.

Bethesda’s ‘Doom’ re-releases will no longer need internet access

[ad_1] The requirement was ostensibly to reward members of Bethesda’s Doom Slayers Club for playing the original titles. While that’s a nice perk if you own the more recent Doom (or plan to get Doom Eternal), it’s a hassle if you just wanted a quick nostalgia trip. There have been a few other complaints as […]
