In this vein, a new iOS 16 feature that enables live captions on video and audio is well worth switching on. Live Captions does what it says on the tin: it provides captions to audio and video, including calls and FaceTime, in real time. It’s a great feature for those with hearing impairments, increasing their access to audio and video, but may also prove useful generally, if an unstable internet connection is distorting the video on Facetime for example....

But the streaming service to watch the Harry Potter reunion will vary based on where you are. This Harry Potter reunion is celebrating the 20th anniversary release of The Sorcerer’s Stone, which is available — like all the Harry Potter movies in order — on HBO Max....

Moonshot looks like a very promising sci-fi romantic comedy, and its premise doesn’t seem too far-fetched either. Sprouse plays Walt, a chill barista who meets a Sophie (Condor), who’s having trouble with a really-long distance relationship with her boyfriend who lives on Mars. They almost seem to have sparks, but Walt is worried that she’s making a huge mistake by following the wrong man to the red planet. So, Walt does what anyone would do: he sneaks onto the shuttle to Mars....

Originally released in 1986, Top Gun is one of the most beloved action films of all time. Featuring a dream pairing of Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, and with an iconic soundtrack still worthy of a spin today, it’s no surprise that Top Gun has left a lasting legacy. If you’ve somehow never seen it before, rest assured, it holds up remarkably well to this day. And if you have watched it already, it’s well worth seeing again....

The new season will see the meta-story evolving — Dwayne Johnson (playing himself) is getting closer to his 2032 presidential election — and the topic of fatherhood is coming to the forefront in his interviews with Randall Park (who, yes, is also playing a fictional version of himself). The other big twist for Young Rock season 2 is the fact that Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings, Goonies, Rudy) is going to be playing the adult version of one of Johnson’s childhood bullies....

The Huawei P50 Pocket and P50 Pro are finally going on sale in the U.K., which is handy if you need a foldable that tells you where to apply sunblock. After it stayed quiet for basically the whole of 2021, we wondered if Huawei’s smartphone division had given up on the U.K. as a result of the difficulties it’s been facing in the U.S. Fortunately, that’s not the case, as these two new phones are now on their way to Europe....

In our Halo View review, we loved this fitness tracker’s comfortable and lightweight design and 7-day battery life. Three colors are currently available for purchase: active black, lavender dream and sage green. The Halo View comes with a free 12-month subscription to the Halo fitness app, while purchasing the base Halo band gets you 6 free months. Even after your free trial is up, the $3.99/month asking price is still less than most other fitness tracking apps, and it’s no less effective....

If you want calmer, deeper sleep and to relieve anxiety and stress, you should definitely consider buying a weighted blanket. Usually filled with glass beads, plastic pellets or ball bearings, weighted blankets claim to deliver mood-boosting therapeutic benefits by simply applying pressure to you while you sleep. If you already own one, then an upgrade to the Luna Adult Weighted Blanket is still definitely worthwhile, as this blanket scored high marks in our roundup, coming in as our top pick in the category....

The Callisto Protocol is a spiritual successor to Dead Space — one of my favorite gaming franchises of all time — so naturally, my pre-release anticipation was sizeable. But after just a couple of hours trudging through Black Iron Prison, I was seriously considering quitting the game early. While the atmosphere was pleasantly spooky, and the visuals downright stunning on PS5, the clunky and ill-convinced combat was pushing me to my limit....

Needless to say the run-up to the premiere episode of the Halo TV series had me concerned. Particularly in the case of Master Chief, after the announcement he’d be taking off his helmet — a sin on par with Sylvester Stallone doing the same thing in 1995’s Judge Dredd. Then the series arrived, and my reaction to the first episode could basically be described as “eh.." I was incredibly apathetic to the show, admitting I wouldn’t care if it got canceled or not....

This 20-minute kettlebell workout by personal trainer Rhiannon Bailey uses one kettlebell, and four different exercises to work up a sweat. It’s worth grabbing a heavier kettlebell as you’re only using one weight. In order to select the right weight, look for a kettlebell that feels heavy by the final few reps, but not so heavy that you’re compromising your form. The format of the workout is 40 seconds of work, followed by 20 seconds of rest....

While older models needed to be hardwired, many of the newer ones have their own batteries and as such, you can take them with you on weekend trips or when visiting relatives. However, as someone who already has some of the best home security cameras set up throughout my entire home — including in the baby’s room — I wasn’t willing to spend several hundred dollars on a portable baby monitor to use on several short trips....

Yet thanks to running coach Cory Wharton-Malcolm, who gave me the energy I needed to complete the 35-minute run, I thoroughly enjoyed my workout and was left with all the positive endorphins we runners crave each time we lace up. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Time to Run feature, and where to try it. Apple Fitness Plus Time to Run: What is it? Similar to the Time to Walk feature on the Apple Watch, Apple Fitness Plus subscribers can now try audio running workouts from their wrist using the Time to Run feature....

But before that happens, I wanted to take a moment to talk about another excellent laptop that’s been on our list of the best laptops you can buy for some time: the Dell XPS 15 OLED. If you’re not familiar, the XPS 15 OLED is a mid-sized model of Dell’s popular XPS series of ultraportables that sports a 15.6-inch 3.5K OLED touchscreen, which is a pretty solid upgrade over the FHD+ (1,920 x 1,200) LCD screen it ships with by default....

And it’s a very legitimate question. After all, as you’ll see in our Google Pixel 7 Pro review, this is a very formidable flagship, with some of the best cameras around, about the same size display as the S22 Ultra and a beautiful premium design. And the new Tensor G2 chip is pretty potent while unlocking all sorts of cool features like Photo Unblur. Don’t get me wrong. My Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra shows why this phone has topped our best Android phone list for months....

While the desktop cards were initially expected to begin arriving during the summer, though Intel’s Arc desktop GPU launch was delayed a bit. However, the Arc 750 and Arc 770 are due to release on October 12, with reviewers already sharing their thoughts online. Arc graphics cards are discrete GPUs that are more powerful than the Intel Iris Xe GPUs integrated into Intel CPUs. Now that they’re here, Intel is in a position to challenge Nvidia and AMD for a significant piece of the graphics card market, which is hotter than it’s ever been....

But another tidbit that’s come out since is that the iPhone 13 Pro’s 120Hz ProMotion feature will finally work with third-party apps. For reference, it’s been broken since the phone launched in September in case you’ve noticed that things don’t look quite right on your iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro Max. Christian Selig, the developer for Apollo — perhaps the best Reddit app on iOS — confirmed this on Twitter (opens in new tab)....
