This is an approach to preserving physical game purchases in an increasingly digital future. Oliver Beer/Unsplash Very shortly after Sony announced plans to remove PlayStation game discs, it was reported that Xbox was working on a way to allow its players to play digital copies of their physical games. According to The edgeXbox recently began testing this disc-to-digital program for Xbox One and Xbox Series X titles. Unfortunately, the project apparently won’t cover games for the original Xbox or Xbox 360. It may not support all Xbox One games either, according to the report. It appears…

Apple plans to release an updated 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip in late 2026, then follow it with a revamped M7 model in the first half of 2027, reports Bloomberg. Apple apparently finished work on a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip “months ago,” and the device is expected to launch before the end of the year. Apple’s M6 chip cycle will be shorter than previous chip cycles because it is not planned for the M6 Pro and M6 Max chips. Apple is aiming for a quick transition between M6 and M7 as its M7 chips are…
Apple plans to launch new 11- and 13-inch iPad Pro models in spring 2027, reports Bloomberg. No major design changes are expected, with Apple focusing on internal upgrades. iPad Pro models may use M6 or M7 chips. Apple will introduce the M6 chip as early as this year in an updated 14-inch MacBook Pro model, but the goal is to release the M7 chip in the first half of 2027. Bloomberg doesn’t specify which chip Apple will put in the iPad Pro, but if the M7 chip is ready by spring 2027, new iPads could have the upgraded chip. If…
We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Dual and tri-band routers cost a dime, but you need to make sure you’re buying the best Wi-Fi broadcaster for your home. If you live in a multi-story home that’s full of internet-connected technology, we wouldn’t be surprised to learn that you often experience slow network performance. When you’re working with a larger footprint, even the best tri-band routers can struggle to provide the bandwidth your devices demand. To this end, we recommend opting for a mesh Wi-Fi system instead of relying on a…
Elon Musk’s SpaceX may aim to compete with Apple in the future. The company showed investors a prototype of a “combination-like device designed to reshape the way humans interact with artificial intelligence,” according to The Wall Street Journal. The device is described as being thinner than an iPhone, with a “sleek design.” It runs a proprietary operating system, has a Qualcomm chipset, and incorporates AI technology from SpaceX subsidiary xAI. In the past, Musk has talked about an “app for everything” like China’s WeChat, and the devices shown to investors were apparently inspired by that concept. SpaceX was showing the…
Selling server infrastructure would put Meta in competition with Amazon and Google. Matthew G. Eddy/Shutterstock Meta could create its own cloud business to use the infrastructure investments it has made to train and run AI models, Bloomberg reports. The social media provider has traditionally paid for risky bets on smart glasses and virtual reality with the money it makes from its extensive online advertising business. The sale of cloud infrastructure would put Meta in direct competition with Amazon, Google and new cloud provider SpaceX. According to the report, the cloud business could offer several services, such…
Igor Suka/Getty Images Technology seems to be getting better and better. Your air conditioning thermostat can track your lifestyle habits and pre-cool the house before you get home from work, and your outdoor camera can recognize your friends. Yet even as many everyday electronic devices become “smart,” the majority of TV remotes appear frozen in time, much to the surprise of some users online. Hell, most TV remotes still use infrared instead of Bluetooth, even though IR technology hasn’t been cutting edge since the ’70s. So it’s only natural to…

The console allowed everyone from kids to grandparents to get off the couch to try “Wii Sports” — bundled with every system everywhere other than Japan — and other games taking advantage of its revolutionary motion controls. The Wii has sold over 101 million units, making it Nintendo’s fourth best-selling console after the Switch, DS and Game Boy. In its heyday,…
Tea Talk/Shutterstock While the iPhone has moved from Apple’s Lightning connector to USB-C ports, standardizing smartphone charging cables to comply with European Union law, the same is not true for smartwatches. Each company has its own cable that attaches to the device using magnets or pogo pin connectors, meaning you can’t charge, say, an Apple Watch with a Samsung Galaxy Watch charger. What’s even more frustrating is that some brands don’t even use the same charger for different models of their own devices, with Fitbit being the worst offender. Theoretically,…
