Though the M2 chip isn’t as beastly as the M1 Pro and M1 Max processors, Apple designed it to be more power-efficient. In other words, the new processor provides the MacBook Pro with epic battery life. That isn’t hyperbole, as our testing has shown. On the Tom’s Guide Battery test, which involves continuous web surfing at 150 nits of screen brightness, the new MacBook Pro 13-inch lasted an epic 18 hours and 20 minutes....

Man City are now the only unbeaten team in the Premier League, following Tottenham’s defeat to Arsenal last weekend. In Erling Haaland, they have a seemingly unstoppable centre forward. He scored a third successive home hat-trick in the derby victory over Man Utd and followed that up with 2 goals in the Champions League against FC Copenhagen before being substituted at half-time. His individual goal total is already 19 across all competitions, while the team as a whole have wracked-up 29 league goals....

Well, the first installment is now live and while I wouldn’t put any of the eight new tracks in the top ten, it’s still utterly delightful to see the game get expanded, long after I assumed Nintendo had lost interest. As a quick recap, while there are only eight tracks in this first bit of DLC, if you order it today, you’re actually paying for 48, doubling Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s already generous offering to 96....

However, our pick of the deals is the iPad Pro 2021 (11-inch) 256GB for $799 (opens in new tab). That’s $100 off its standard retail price of $899 and a new all-time low price. This massive sale certainly qualifies as one of the best Memorial Day Apple deals out there. In our iPad Pro 2021 (11-inch) review, we named Apple’s speedy tablet one of the best tablets you can buy....

This year with the challenges faced through rising household bills, it’s more important than ever to be cautious about where you spend your hard-earned dollars. So we’re being extra picky about the Memorial Day TV sales we highlight and cross-checking prices, looking at competing deals, and making it a point to highlight TVs we’ve reviewed or highly recommend. We’ve also spotted an excellent Memorial Day TV sale on an LG 65-inch 8K TV....

Let’s start with overall performance. There’s two versions of the Surface Pro 9: one with the SQ3 chip (Qualcomm and Microsoft) and one with an Intel 12th gen chip. According to Andrew Freedman over at Tom’s Hardware (opens in new tab), the SQ3 model is way behind the MacBook Air M2 on a range of tests. On Geekbench 5, which measures overall performance, the Surface Pro 9 (SQ3) hit 1,125 on single core and 5,849 on multi-core....

The jump in mortgage rates comes as the Fed continues to increase interest rates to combat high inflation. Back in September, interest rates increased by 0.75%, bringing the federal funds rate to between 3% to 3.25%. These rates are expected to increase through 2023, with plans to raise rates another 0.75 percentage points next week. Unfortunately, these increased interest rates are weighing heavily on the housing market. What this means for you This increase in mortgage rates will be expensive for many potential buyers, so if you’re on the market for a new home, here are important things to consider....

Major Dad was a surprise addition to the Netflix U.S. library last summer, but the CBS sitcom’s stay on the platform appears to be a short one as it’ll be removed entirely on Thursday, September 1. On this date all four seasons, consisting of 96 episodes, will no longer be available to stream on Netflix. Airing between 1989 and 1993, Major Dad starred Gerald McRaney as a gruff U.S. Marine whose previously well-ordered life is thrown into chaos when he falls in love with a journalist and becomes a stepfather to her three daughters....

Variety (opens in new tab) reports that The Midnight Club is the latest victim of Netflix’s cancelation axe, as the mystery-thriller series has been officially canned after just one season. Created by Mike Flanagan, the creative behind Netflix horror hits The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, the show spanned just 10 episodes in total but was intended to last much longer. Based on the beloved Christopher Pike novel of the same name, The Midnight Club debuted on Netflix in October....

The crackdown takes the form of a new feature called “add extra member” in some countries or “add a home” in others. This test is already live in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru, and starting next month it’ll go live in Argentina, Dominican Republic, El Salvador and Honduras. According to Netflix the idea is that each account is associated with a single home. If you want to start adding more homes, you’ll be prompted to pay an extra $3 a month....

So, if you’ve been sharing a Netflix password and login across multiple addresses, expect Netflix to try and stop you. Or at least ask for more money to keep doing this. Why is this happening? Well, while the economy isn’t great at the moment, and everyone finds ways to stretch a dollar (or their account) it’s arguably a beast of Netflix’s own making. Infamously, Netflix Twitter account posted the message “Love is sharing a password,” (opens in new tab) in 2017....

The latest bit of news on the Netflix Preview Club comes from The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the program will expand from its current set of more than 2,000 members to “include tens of thousands of users around the world,” and that this will take place “early next year.” The global expansion is noteworthy because Variety noted that Netflix’s Preview club had only sourced early feedback within the United States....

Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, is betting a lot on the virtual reality metaverse future — which is one of the reasons why it changed its name to Meta in the first place. It goes without saying that part of this plan is to release more VR headsets, and the latest rumor is that there are four new Meta VR headsets on the way. The Information (opens in new tab) reports on Meta’s immediate VR release schedule, claiming that the company has plans to release four new headsets by 2024....

NieR: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition is a tremendously successful port of NieR: Automata to the Nintendo Switch. Everything that was great about the original game — the deeply introspective story, the tight action, and the well-paced variety to the gameplay — is present and accounted for, including a suite of alternate character costumes and the 3C3C1D119440927 DLC. Incorporating all of that into a portable package, which also looks good and runs well, is a technical marvel....

These are the company’s second set of earbuds, and they follow the Ear (1) ANC in-ear ‘buds that launched last year. For anyone unfamiliar with the brand, Nothing is a young British company looking to shake up the relationship consumers currently have with tech through inspirational and functional product designs that offer a strong user experience at every level. The aim, according to Nothing’s CEO and co-founder Carl Pei, is to “make tech fun again” and a whole lot more accessible — from unpacking a product for the first time all the way through to the everyday usability experience....

After a surprise victory over Liverpool, Nottm Forest put in a disappointing but familiar display against Arsenal and returned to the foot of the Premier League table. Conceding five goals in that fixture drew them level with Bournemouth for the leakiest defense in the division. To make matters worse, Forest’s top scorer Taiwo Awoniyi has only scored three goals this season. In all fairness, bringing in 21 new players in the summer would make it hard for even the best players to gel and Steve Cooper has used a joint third-highest 25 players this season....

Anticipation has been building ever since the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 and 4090 were unveiled in September 2022 during Nvidia’s annual GTC keynote. While their performance is unprecedented, so are their prices, which range from $899 to $1,599. Those prices might seem reasonable after the outrageous GPU price-gouging we saw in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing global supply chain shake-ups. But they’re still quite expensive, and we’re hoping the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 and other mid-range 40-series cards deliver similar performance at a much more compelling price....

The OnePlus 10 Pro is already available to buy in China, but the smartphone maker may have something even better up its sleeve — albeit something that’s in a very early testing phase. That’s according to the leaker Yogesh Brar (opens in new tab), who has tweeted that the Chinese company could be working on a OnePlus Ultra model for later in the year. “Technology sharing between OnePlus & Oppo is in Full swing, Find X5 series gets Hasselblad treatment and I’m hearing that MariSilicon will be seen on a OnePlus Flagship in the 2nd Half of this year,” Brar tweeted....
