The last 12 months have seen some seriously high quality titles, including Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarök. And yet this polished version of the Witcher 3 stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the very best games of 2022. Even back in 2015, the game seemed primed to stand the test of time, and this refreshed version only cements how gracefully the Witcher 3 has aged. Remarkably, the Witcher 3’s next-gen update is completely free for current owners of the game....

Although you can switch to using a more privacy-focused search engine like DuckDuckGo, Google’s reach extends much farther than that due to how other companies rely on Google Analytics and Google AdSense. In order to better understand how often third-party sites and services send data to Google, the creator of PowerDNS Bert Hubert has launched a new free app called “Googerteller” according to a report from 9to5Google (opens in new tab)....

Of course, you should take this report with a grain of salt and not count on anything until we hear Apple confirm the details. That said, the leaker in question (who goes by Majin Bu) has been right in the past when leaking details about Apple products. According to a source trusted by Bu, Apple is currently working on a “smaller version of macOS exclusively for the new iPad Pro M2” that would run iPad apps but sport a macOS-like UI that’s larger (Bu estimates 25% larger) and hopefully optimized for touch input....

The Xbox Series S is one of the most unusual consoles I’ve seen in years. It’s a less expensive, less powerful version of Microsoft’s flagship Xbox Series X — the kind of thing you’d expect to see a few years into a console’s lifespan, like a Wii Mini or a PS2 Slim. And yet, here it is: a sleek, white box launching on the exact same day as its bigger, beefier counterpart....

Luckily, that’s given us plenty of time to catch up on some other excellent games. We’ve polled the Tom’s Guide staff about what they’ve been playing during the long summer drought, and the answers were spectacularly varied. Some of us have caught up on old classics; some of us dove headfirst into ongoing live-service games; some of us discovered that summer 2022 has, indeed, provided a handful of worthwhile new games....

If you’re unfamiliar with Dark, it’s a hit Netflix series hailing from Germany that was co-created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese. It follows four families in several different time periods who are bound together in a time travel conspiracy. Like Dark, 1899 weaves together elements of science fiction, mystery, suspense and psychological drama. It also bears a strong resemblance to Lost, as it features a sprawling ensemble cast of characters, whose back stories are revealed in flashbacks....

5.11 Tactical sent us two different weight vests to test, the 5.11 TacTec Plate Carrier, which we’re reviewing here, and the newer 5.11 TacTec Trainer Weight Vest, which may not have the same popularity, but is a bit less expensive and has a more fitness-oriented design. After a few weeks of testing the TacTec Plate Carrier in my workouts, I’m sold on the entire weight vest concept. But is the rugged vest really the best option for your home workouts?...

And so we documented the best Netflix movies with Rotten Tomatoes scores of 95% and up. That said, we made that list in early August. And as Netflix keeps up with the HBO Maxes and Hulus out there, we thought it was time to look at the most recent additions. Lo and behold, we found seven fantastic films with stellar Rotten Tomatoes (opens in new tab) scores that Netflix added in the last few months alone!...

Thankfully every year the best streaming services put together a slate of new Christmas movies. And while many of them are already forgotten by the time New Year’s Eve rolls around, there are usually a few that stand the test of time. 2022 is shaping up to be no different, and already the likes of Netflix, HBO Max and Prime Video and more have treated subscribers to a selection of brand-new Christmas movies....

In our iPad mini 6 review, we named Apple’s 2021 tablet one of the best iPads you can buy. In addition to its new edge-to-edge screen, it also sports a larger 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display with 2266 x 1488 resolution. (The older iPad mini has a 7.9-inch 2048 x 1536 display). The new tablet also gets a current-gen A15 Bionic CPU, which is the same processor powering the new iPhone 13....

What’s more, for the familiar $59, the Echo Dot with Clock remains one of the most accessible smart home entry points. And now with its upgrades compared to the Echo Dot with Clock (2020), it’s an even stronger sell for starting your smart home — or just telling you the time. That’s the beauty of the Echo Dot with Clock; it’s not over-complicated or blatantly high-tech. My biggest complaint with the previous Echo Dot was the limited display functionality....

Microsoft has quietly released a beta channel for this update, as spotted by XDA Developers (opens in new tab). However, this channel is not part of the usual Windows 11 Insider builds. Instead you’ll have to sign up for the Windows Subsystem for Android Preview program. Version 2211.40000.7.0 will let you try out the Android 13 beta. While the update to Android 13 is the big news, Microsoft has revealed a number of additional upgrades that form this update....

Reddit user just_lurking_through (opens in new tab) described “a night and day difference” with the unlocking speed of their Pixel 6 Pro after installing the Android 13 public beta. They also posted a GIF (opens in new tab) of their phone unlocking and locking in quick succession as evidence. The reaction to the latest Android 13 beta has been mixed, with some saying there’s a clear boost in the speed and reliability of the scanner, while others claim the opposite: “I haven’t had a problem with mine since the phone came out....

Flagged by Reuters (opens in new tab), this feature appears to have been quietly launched at WWDC 2022, with iOS 16 supporting new app categories for “fuel and driving tasks." Among those tasks is the ability to pay for gas from your car’s infotainment screen, as well as other things like access toll road information and breakdown assistance. Apple’s developer guidelines (opens in new tab) note that this change is for fueling apps and driving tasks that aren’t related to navigation; probably because you’re expected to use Apple Maps, or one of its competitors, for that sort of thing....

There are plenty of things to like about the technology inside a Tesla, but there are also a lot of things we wish the electric cars did. One of the biggest gripes I have is the fact Tesla refuses to support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, instead relying on its own custom infotainment system. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t get Apple CarPlay working inside your Tesla. Polish developer Michał Gapiński (opens in new tab) got CarPlay running on a Tesla Model 3’s infotainment display, albeit with a few caveats....

For a limited time the Apple Watch Series 7 (41mm, GPS + Cellular) variant is on sale for just $319 at Walmart (opens in new tab). This straight knocks $110 off the original price of $429 for the watch. This is a great deal on last year’s Apple Watch model and it’s the lowest price we’ve seen for this model. The only catch is that the low price applies to only the Midnight Aluminum case color....
