Google made plenty of noise about its new Digital Wellbeing tools when it announced them back at the Google I/O developer conference in May, and it looks very much like the company plans to roll out this suite of apps to its smart assistant and smart speakers. 9to5Google did some digging in the most recent version of the Google app and found Digital Wellbeing is coming to the Google Assistant in the near future. There’s a new Digital Wellbeing menu entry and it looks as though you might be able

The IMAX name is already synonymous with blockbuster cinema, with the company having set the bar for high-resolution footage capture, and built up a sprawling network of IMAX theaters across the globe. And with hundreds of films being released every year, it’s natural that they’ll cherry-pick the ones they think are worth watching on the big screen. Two of IMAX’s seven ‘VR experience’ sites at their flagship theaters have already been shut down, with the future of the remaining five being anyone

AV specialist Optoma have unveiled the latest in their range of capable home cinema projectors, the HD31UST.

British Airways has suffered a data breach, with critical information on hundreds of thousands of its users being stolen by hackers. The company confirmed the breach, saying it was done by a “very sophisticated, malicious criminal”. In total, 380,000 accounts were compromised, the company said, with hackers stealing names, street and email addresses, credit card numbers and expiry dates, as well as security codes, through the company website and app. “There were other methods, very sophisticated

AMD’s latest Ryzen APUs , a.k.a. Accelerated Processing Units, come with surprisingly powerful graphics – especially the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G . Running the game at 1080p resolution and medium graphics detail, the processor is able to produce a surprisingly consistent 30 frames per second (fps) in live gameplay. Now, it should be said that – again – 30 fps at medium graphics detail is not the optimal way to play the latest FPS game. The AMD Ryzen 5 2400G costs just $169 (£149, AU$269).

Customers are finding that certain Intel processors are now often out of stock from most retailers, while processors that are in stock have seen price rises. As Tom’s Hardware has discovered, the price rises found on a number of online stores have mainly affected low-end processors, with more expensive enthusiast processors less affected. With the delay of the 10nm Cannon Lake processors until 2019, this has further placed pressure on its 14nm production lines. Combine that with the recent launc

Around this time last year, Microsoft invited the press to an event during which it pulled the curtain back on the Surface Book 2 product. So, it’s a safe bet that we’re going to see some new Microsoft hardware, as the firm has released new devices around this time for the past several years. While we can’t say with confidence what we’re more likely to see, the Surface Studio is certainly out of date by this point, so perhaps a Surface Studio 2 is in order? We’re also more than a year out now fr

Steam is rolling out a new filtering system to give users greater autonomy over what games come up in their search results. The gaming platform hosts tens of thousands of PC titles for download and purchase, ranging from unfinished Early Access indie games to AAA blockbusters, and everything in between. New changes include the ability to block content from individual developers and publishers, with a total of ten content tags available – with separate tags for ‘mature’ content and that which is

YouTube introduced a dark mode for its desktop app last year, then rolled it out for iOS users in March this year. In July , Google announced that Android users would be able to switch from the usual white background on YouTube to the new dark theme, but that seems to have been a very limited rollout. However, after waiting months for it, all Android users can finally enable Dark Mode on their mobile apps. Some Redditors spotted that the latest release of the Android YouTube app, version 13.35.5

Following a discovery earlier this week by AnandTech that Huawei’s P20 flagship handset was fudging its numbers in graphics benchmarking app 3DMark, the phone’s results have been delisted from the official results site, along with three other Huawei handsets.

You can check out the Blackout trailer below. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is

So PC gamers get a nice little surprise today, thanks to a PlayStation Now update. Sony’s streaming service, which offers more than 650 PS3 and PS4 titles, has today received a library update that sees the revered PS4 classic, Bloodborne, available to PlayStation Now subscribers. As a PS4 exclusive, Bloodborne has previously only been available to those that bought it for Sony’s PS4 console. And with there being little hope of it ever reaching another platform, the PlayStation Now streaming serv

We’ve already seen a number of leaked photos and renders showing the Huawei Mate 20 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro, but today we’ve had one of our clearest looks yet at the Pro model. Three leaked images shared on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging site) seemingly show the Huawei Mate 20 Pro from the front, highlighting its curved screen and the notch at the top of the display, which is rumored to house a 3D face scanner. This certainly looks to be the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. As ever, we can’t be certain that t

Three-dimensional graphics, analog controls, motion-based inputs – these were all vital innovations in gaming. And, now, we have the next major leap in gaming technology: greaseproof controllers. Microsoft has developed a new Xbox One controller that’s supposedly impervious to grease. Sadly, the controller you’ve always dreamed of is not available for sale much less available at all outside of Australia. Here’s to hoping this controller gets a wider release, because we’re sure a lot of Saturday

In the BBC’s Planet Earth II nature documentary series, David Attenborough’s team used advanced thermal imaging cameras developed by aerospace company Leonardo to track a pack of leopards hunting in the darkened streets of Mumbai. Now, that exact same technology could be built into the British Army’s main battle tank. BAE Systems is bidding for a contract to upgrade Challenger II, and Leonardo’s advanced night vision tech is a key part of its plan. Instead of detecting light, Leonardo’s cameras

Xbox One users are getting a new way to interact with their gaming console, with expanded voice support rolling out for the Cortana and Alexa voice assistants.
