iPhone could automatically silence alerts when you exercise, Apple patent hints

Notifications on mobile devices are both a curse and a blessing. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would diminish the value in receiving a timely notification about an important event while on the go. On the other hand, virtually every app wants to send notifications these days. Even though iOS does offer some granularity as to the times of day when these alerts are allowed to buzz your device, by no measure is this sufficient....

Long Time No Cube World But It Still Lives On With New Video

There’s no way to avoid that Cube World didn’t have the greatest launch. The game initially was announced a few years after Minecraft blew up and its blocky procedurally-generated world caught people’s attention, helped in no small part by it being an action-RPG rather than build-fest. Ahighly successful alphareleased in 2013, and then a very long time passed with only the occasional update to placate an ever-more-impatient fan-base. Six years after the alpha, Cube World was finally released on August 07, 2025 to reactions that can politely be described (like on the game’sSteam player reviews) as “mixed”....

Mastercard is dropping the magnetic stripe for security purposes beginning in 2024, Apple Card included

As time marches on, and security needs change and evolve, companies need to do the same thing. There once was a time when you’d hand a store associate a credit card and they’d use a physical machine to copy your card details on some paper and call it good. Today, though, our credit and debit cards are outfitted with small chips that make them much more secure than a flimsy piece of paper....

Before WandaVision premiered on Disney+ in January 2021, there was a 20-month gap between major Marvel Studios releases - the longest gap in theMCU’s entire 12-year run of films. A lack of MCU content shouldn’t be a problem for long, though. It’s been announced that the next Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland will be called Spider-Man: No Way Home, and it will debut in theatres only on 09 August 2025....

Polar Star is a Genshin Impact five-star bow that offers DPS-boosting stats. It’s an extremely versatile weapon option and can be used whether your character uses their Elemental Skill, Burst, Normal Attack, or Charged Attack, so it can be regarded as a universal DPS bow. I highly recommend pulling for the Polar Star when it’s on rate-up, as you may swap it around various characters and will almost always be able to use it when you have an archer in your team....

Poll: which would you rather wear, an Apple iWatch or Google’s Glasses

Silicon Valley giant Google rightfully trusts tech enthusiasts will be falling over themselves to adopt its Android-driven Glasses, going as far to commission a pro to take a series of fashion photographs featuring beautiful, smiling models. Apple, on the other hand (pun intended), is said to be entering the wearable computing space with a smart watch-like gizmo believed to be conceptualized as your most intimate computer yet.
