Improved ‘Apex Legends’ training zone better prepares you for combat
[ad_1] As much as Respawn has expanded Apex Legends‘ gameplay, its training area has remained… lackluster. You only get to play a single character and a sliver of the available gear, making it all too likely that you’ll have to learn about an ability or weapon in the middle of a real match. That won’t […]
These deepfake celebrity impressions are equally amazing and alarming
[ad_1] The video speaks to Meskimen’s talent as an impressionist but also to the capability of deepfake software.

Keep connected while off the grid
[ad_1] Just because you want to unplug doesn’t mean you want to sleep on the ground. That’s where travel trailers come in and the most iconic of these is the Airstream.

Opera’s stricter privacy controls could also speed up your web browsing

Roomba update tells your robovacs to steer clear of trouble spots
[ad_1] Those same devices are also getting smarter mid-job charging. Rather than wait until they have a full charge before resuming a cleaning task, they now only charge for as long as needed to complete their work. You’ll be less likely to come home to a half-cleaned floor. There’s one more update if you have […]
61 megapixels of pure camera power
[ad_1] Panasonic’s S1R got it first, but the A7R IV now has a 5.76 million dot OLED electronic viewfinder.

Tesla will let you customize your car’s horn and movement sounds
[ad_1] Musk added that he “will consider” allowing custom upload sounds, although we can imagine that being problematic if drivers decide their horns should blare colorful language.

Second season of ‘Lost in Space’ premieres December 24th
[ad_1] It’s clear from the outset that the Robinsons (particularly Will) are determined to find Robot, but that’s really just one of the challenges. Not everything is straightforward as they seek to rejoin the other colonists, especially not as they grapple with the cunning Dr. Smith and charismatic Don West. There’s also a new wrinkle […]
