It’s not like Apple hasn’t been busy on the smartphone front. This past fall, we saw the launch of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, and based on rumors, work has already started on 2023’s iPhone 15 updates. But none of those phones can bend in half. And that’s a missing gap in Apple’s lineup since its chief rival Samsung does make foldable phones. In fact, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 rank among the best foldable phones you can get right now....

To recap, Todd Phillips’ Joker took in more than $1 billion at the box office, and (unlike a lot of movies spawning from DC intellectual property) got serious raves from critics. Heck, Phoenix even took home the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for the film (which was also nominated for film of the year). Will Phillips’ Joker run afoul of Robert Pattinson’s The Batman?...

Intel announced at CES 2022 this week that its first batch of Arc GPUs have shipped to OEMs, meaning we’re one step closer to seeing Intel re-enter the volatile GPU market to compete against AMD and Nvidia. The fact that OEM (original equipment manufacturer) partners like Acer, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte and Lenovo are getting their hands on Intel’s GPU tech means we should be on schedule to see the first wave of Arc GPUs (codenamed Alchemist) hitting the market in the first quarter of 2022....

In the hunt for those pesky sought-after v-lines, lower ab exercises mainly target the lower part of your rectus abdominis (known as your outer six-pack muscles) and deep core muscles like the transverse abdominis and internal obliques. But while lower ab exercises can undoubtedly build strength, tone and definition, does Pilates for weight loss work? Well, it’s not that simple. Sculpting rock-solid abs also depends on diet, genetics and a varied exercise routine to reduce body fat (learn how to calculate your body fat percentage and why it matters)....

Sources speaking to 9to5Mac (opens in new tab) claimed that Apple has two new Mac minis in the works. One version (code-named J473) will use the rumored Apple M2 chip, while the other (J474) will use an M2 Pro chip for enhanced performance. The standard M2 Mac mini will apparently launch later this year, but no release window was given for the M2 Pro version. The M2 chip is the name given for the replacement to Apple’s first proprietary laptop and desktop computer chip, the Apple M1 chip that arrived in 2020....

As reported by BleepingComputer (opens in new tab), a new malware family dubbed ‘Autolycos’ was discovered in eight popular Android apps by security researcher Maxime Ingrao from the cybersecurity firm Evina. Although Ingrao first found these malicious apps back in June of last year and reported his findings to Google, it took the search giant six months to remove six of the apps in question, and the final two were only taken down recently....

Manchester United had a somewhat frustrating afternoon on Sunday when Newcastle visited. Marcus Rashford and Fred missed chances to give the Red Devils three points, although Magpie’s midfielder Joelinton was twice denied by the woodwork. Meanwhile, Tottenham claimed a 2-0 victory over Everton at the weekend, keeping their spot in the Premier League top three. Harry Kane got over his penalty miss against Eintracht Frankfurt to score one this time around, while Pierre-Emile Højbjerg’s shot confirmed the points were staying in the capital....

I doubt anyone expected “Mario and the Raving Rabbids in a turn-based strategy game” to work once, let alone twice. But here we are. In a year full of excellent Nintendo Switch titles, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope is my favorite by a wide margin. Even after sinking dozens of hours into Mario’s latest intergalactic adventure, I’m ready to invest a few dozen more. How the video game review sausage gets made If you haven’t played Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, it might help to know a little bit about the game....

Kansas (31-6), the top seed in the Midwest Region, is set for their Elite Eight matchup with Miami (26-10). The Jayhawks have been fortunate in this tournament to get some clutch play from an unlikely source. While their leading scorer throughout the regular season has struggled another senior has taken the team under his wing. Ochai Agbaji, the Kansas guard who guided his team to the tournament averaging just under 19 points-per-game, has struggled with consistency this month....

The internet is already rife with stunned reactions, wild speculation and some questionable hot takes. Take a quick glance at social media, and you’ll see everything from analysts feverishly forecasting to fanboys raging (or celebrating) the idea of Call of Duty and Overwatch becoming Xbox exclusives. According to an email (opens in new tab) sent to Activision Blizzard employees by embattled CEO Bobby Kotick, the deal should close sometime in Microsoft’s 2023 fiscal year, which ends on June 30, 2023....

Mimeo’s prices were in the middle of the pack, yielding good overall value. Its software is fun to use and has some very fun features — such as great customization options for backgrounds and text. But the complete lack of standard features found in other services, such as stickers, is disappointing. And the ordering process is rather clunky. Read the rest of our Mimeo review to see if this is the best photo printing service for you....

That’s not a new concept. LG gets credit for popularizing the idea when it showed off its rollable TV at CES 2019, and we’ve seen demos of rollable phones at recent CES trade shows. Nevertheless, Lenovo through its Motorola brand, is taking its own stab at rollable phones, and it’s ready to show off its work. Shared over on YouTube (opens in new tab) from this week’s Lenovo’s Tech World 2022 conference, we got a brief glimpse at what Motorola’s rollable phone can do....

By our count, Netflix shows cancelled this year are now in double figures, but it’s hard to give an exact number, as the company doesn’t formally announce abandoned content. A case in point is The Midnight Gospel, which we only know is no more because someone directly asked the co-creator on Twitter. “In my mind there’s one more season but the sentient glass ‘deciding’ cube they keep in their catacombs vibrated ‘No more’,” tweeted comedian Duncan Trussell, who co-created the show with Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward....

Based on Ben Dunn’s comic book series Warrior Nun Areala, this TV adaptation starred Alba Baptista as Ava Silva, a 19-year-old who awakes in a morgue and discovers she has been resurrected to become part of the ancient Order of the Cruciform Sword. Tasked with fighting demons on Earth and with a strange divine artefact embedded in her back, Ava must contend with the powerful forces of heaven and hell who both want to find and control her....

If you’re looking to totally immerse yourself in the Wizarding World then you’ll probably want to play the upcoming Harry Potter RPG on Sony’s PS5 console. For starters, the game is primed to take full advantage of the DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers. “You’ll feel the magical resistance at your fingertips through every spell, whether firing off a basic cast or summoning the strength for a more powerful charm," explained Chandler Wood, community manager at WB Games Avalanche....

The World War I film focuses on German soldier Paul Bäumer (Felix Kammerer) and his friends, who discover that war is not what it’s marketed as. While Kammerer is getting applause for his performance (his first on-screen), filmmaker Edward Berger’s getting just as much credit as well. And if you’re already done with our list of the new movies and shows from this weekend, Netflix is adding much more as well....

It’s unclear when this update will start rolling out in the U.S. or other international territories. However, Samsung is usually pretty prompt at rolling out its updates outside Korea. That means you shouldn’t have to wait too long to get every scrap of power out of your phone. The update adds a “Game Performance Management Mode” to the Galaxy S22’s Game Booster. The point of this mode is to override throttling, and ensure the phone is offering the best performance at any given time....

A win for Tottenham will see them beat Arsenal to fourth place, irrespective of what result their north London rivals achieve in the Arsenal vs Everton. Save for an almost implausible turnaround in goal difference, a draw will also be good enough for Antonio Conte’s men. Norwich’s fate has long been sealed. They will be in the Championship next season. However, Dean Smith’s side will surely want to put on a performance for their fans in this final match....

Rather than physically connecting to your ears, the N1 uses something the company calls “Smart Beaming” technology to supply you with music that nobody else hears. It works by sending ultrasonic waves directly into your auditory system — while everyone else experiences no more than a whisper. Those ultrasonic waves create two pockets of audible noise around the user’s ears, offering a headphone-like experience complete with 3D spatial audio — but without the need to wear anything....

Nvidia’s GPU problems appear to have swung from one extreme to the other. And the word is that it’s going to impact the upcoming RTX 4000 series’ ETA. Over the pandemic, a perfect storm of supply chain shortages and a cryptocurrency goldrush meant that the only way to get a GPU was to be extremely lucky or pay well over the odds. Now, with things easing up and the crypto market crashing, you have your pick of GPUs at MSRP....
