That’s a small price bump from the expected $149.99 pricing announced earlier this year during CES 2025, but the handheld comes with over 200 preinstalled retro games including titles from Atari and Jaleco, plus Pac-Man. The Gamestation Go is not only an accessible way for nostalgic gamers to enjoy retro titles, it also provides several ways to accurately play those older games with an unusual assortment of control options.In addition to a standard D-pad and buttons, the Gamestation Go features a paddle controller, a trackball, and a numeric keypad, mirroring the unique controllers that were available for the earliest Atari consoles. The various controls even light up so you know which one you should be using for the game you’re playing. And although the handheld features a generous 7-i...

Frankenstein is one of those stories that’s been retold countless times. And yet, Guillermo del Toro has managed to make a version that not only feels true to Mary Shelley’s original, but is also imbued with the trademarks the director is known for.Maybe that shouldn’t be too surprising — when presenting the film at its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this week, del Toro explained that he has been thinking about Frankenstein since he was seven years old, but it wasn’t until he became a father that he truly understood how to tell the version of the story he wanted to. Well, all that time paid off.On day 5 of TIFF I also managed to check out a charmingly heartbreaking drama about the afterlife, and a slightly confused action comedy set in a very small and not normal to...

Apple teased the upcoming Powerbeats Fit last month, and now renders and specifications for the sporty wireless earbuds have appeared online that give us a closer look at what to expect. According to trusted leaker Evan Blass, the new Beats earbuds will be available in four colorways — orange, gray, black, and pink — and provide up to 30 hours of battery life, or “7 hours per bud on one charge” without popping them back in the charging case.The images of the Powerbeats Fit shared by Blass look similar to the $200 Beats Fit Pro earbuds that Apple launched in 2021, and they have several features in common. Both are powered by Apple’s H1 chip, have the same reported battery life, carry an IPX4 resistance to water splashes and sweat, and include a transparency mode and active noise cancella...

Pour aider à sauver la Sécurité sociale, résoudre le problème des déserts médicaux ou vaincre le cancer, l’intelligence artificielle (IA) se présente comme un outil prometteur et crédible. Les progrès et les perspectives annoncés, grâce à la puissance des algorithmes et à leur capacité de traiter des masses de données, laissent entrevoir de nouvelles opportunités. L’IA, en tant que technologie d’innovation et de rupture, semble s’imposer et aller de soi tant les preuves de son efficacité ne cessent d’être démontrées, pour poser le diagnostic d’une pathologie, affiner son pronostic, choisir la stratégie thérapeutique la plus adaptée, etc. Tout conduit à penser que nous sommes engagés dans un processus irrémédiable, où, dans un avenir très proche, et parfois déjà...

Firefox will soon let you shake your iPhone to get an AI-generated summary of the webpage you’re on. The feature rolls out this week, and will operate using Apple’s on-device AI model on the iPhone 15 Pro or newer once iOS 26 launches.On older iOS versions, Mozilla will use its own cloud-based AI system to create summaries and insert them on top of the webpage. Along with shaking your phone, you can also access AI-generated summaries by tapping the “thunderbolt” icon in the address bar, or tapping the three dots at the bottom of your screen and selecting “Summarize page.”Mozilla notes that you can turn off the feature at any time, in case you don’t want the browser to misinterpret a fumble of your phone as a summarization request. Shake to summarize will only work on webpages with fewer...

Nintendo has settled the lawsuit it filed against accessory maker Genki over the Switch 2 mockup it showcased at CES before the console was officially revealed, and accessories it promoted using the Switch 2 name.

The company also began to promote its range of Switch 2 accessories before the console was announced.Nintend...

La maladie d’Alzheimer est la plus courante des démences avec des dizaines de millions de malades dans le monde. PASCAL DELOCHE / GODONG / PHOTONONSTOP La Haute Autorité de santé (HAS) s’est prononcée, mardi 9 septembre, contre une procédure d’approbation accélérée pour le Leqembi, un médicament anti-Alzheimer qui suscite d’importantes attentes, mais est loin de faire l’unanimité quant à son intérêt clinique. Le lécanémab, commercialisé sous le nom de Leqembi, montre une « efficacité modeste (…) associée à un profil de tolérance préoccupant », estime la commission de transparence de cette autorité indépendante, refusant donc une procédure « d’accès précoce » pour le traitement développé par l’américain Biogen et le japonais Eisai...

Reports have been circulating for the past few weeks that recent Windows 11 updates (KB5063878 and KB5062660) were causing some SSDs using Phison controllers to fail. While plenty of YouTube and TikTok videos have blamed Microsoft for the issues, Phison has identified “early versions of firmware and BIOS” as the problem instead.“Many of the reports originate from media testing conducted on hardware running early versions of firmware and BIOS,” says Michael Wu, GM and President of Phison US, in a statement to The Verge. “These versions are performance preview drives and are not identical to those provided to end users through official distribution channels. We have observed that outdated firmware is still being used on some SSDs and we encourage any reviewers facing this to leverage upda...
