So what the heck are you getting for such a premium? After all, the US price of the new iPad is only $150 less than the iPad Air, Granted, the iPad 9th gen is sticking around with that old $329 price, but the new iPad is going to get all of the attention. Let’s break down the reasons for the hefty price and analyze whether the upgrades are worth it....

Priced at just $119 in the U.S. and £119 in the U.K. and offering active noise cancellation plus workout-friendly features such as IP57 water resistance, it looks like a great addition to what is already an enviable — if increasingly convoluted — Jabra lineup. Based on pricing and features, the Elite 4 Active will slot in below the $179 Jabra Elite Active 75t — no.1 in our list of the best wireless earbuds — and the recently released Jabra Elite 7 Active ($179), and well above the far more basic Elite 3 ($79....

But the clown prince of crime’s influence was just discovered in The Batman website rataalada.com (opens in new tab) (its official alternate reality game, aka a game that exists outside of the movie and is used for marketing and fan engagement). Also, just know that this ’tease’ doesn’t come right out and say “it’s The Joker, baby!” It’s something a bit more subtle. We’ll break it all down for you, though, but what follows below will contain The Batman spoilers, so beware....

Liverpool picked up their first trophy of the season on Sunday, defeating Chelsea in a penalty shootout at the end of a pulsating League Cup final. It was their first domestic cup competition win in a decade. They’ve not won the FA Cup since 2006, when they overcame West Ham United at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Indeed, it is only the second time manager Jürgen Klopp has got his team this far into this competition....

Liverpool go into this game knowing that whatever they do, it may not be enough. They’ve taken the title race further than anyone thought they could at the turn of the year, and could still win it yet, but ultimately they’ll be relying on Aston Villa to do them a favor in the Manchester City vs Aston Villa game if they’re to have a chance of winning the league. In case you need reminding, they currently sit one point behind City, and with a goal difference that’s six goals inferior....

“Our investigation has found a single account had been compromised, granting limited access,” Microsoft said. “No customer code or data was involved in the observed activities.” As for whether this intrusion, which resulted in the theft of an alleged 37 GB of source code pertaining to Bing, Bing Maps and Cortana, would compromise the security of Microsoft software or customers, the company firmly denied it. (On March 24, a new report said that Lapsus$ was led by a 16-year-old from England and a Brazilian teenager....

On June 30, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom signed a $308 billion state budget that provides direct tax refunds for 23 million Californians. This means an estimated 23 million Californians could receive a stimulus package of up to $1,050 to help counter the effects of record-high inflation. The inflation relief checks are part of a $17 billion package and will be funded from a $97 Billion state budget surplus. Additional relief from the package includes aid for emergency rental assistance, utility bills and pausing the state sales tax on gas....

And even though it’s the season (or series?) finale, we’re all too excited to watch Ms. Marvel episode 6 because last week’s episode was light on Kamala. Sure, we loved to see the true story of Aisha’s decision to choose family first, and how Kamala was the one who helped Sana all along, but a return to the present day is great. The other great moment, of course, was when Kamran finally realized that Bruno’s name isn’t Brian....

The Crown, which has dramatized the reign of Queen Elizabeth II — tracing her story from her 1947 wedding to more modern times, now turns its gaze to the 1990’s, where divorce was all the rage. At the top of the chart, we have the divorce of Prince Charles (West) and Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki). Then, also expect the divorces of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson and Princess Anne and Mark Phillips....

If you’ve been eagerly anticipating a suped-up Nintendo Switch Pro, it may be time to reign in your expectations. An industry analyst is tipping Nintendo to forgo launching a Switch Pro in favor of focusing on a proper successor to its popular handheld/home console hybrid. Piers Harding-Rolls of Ampere Analysis recently made this prediction via gamesindustry.biz (opens in new tab). He said, “I’m not expecting a Switch Pro in 2022....

Recently, an extremely sketchy rumor suggested that the service had finally run out of steam. In a now-deleted post in a Stadia Facebook group, someone claiming to have inside knowledge stated that Google had an “exit plan” for the service, with its shut down complete by “the end of summer.” “Just a heads up,” the post reads. “Old coworker and friend of mine, Is [sic.] now one of the regional managers for Google,” it continues setting the scene for something which is almost certainly fictitious....

And while the Roku Streaming Stick 4K spends a lot of time at $40, this is the best price it’s been at since the first Prime Day of 2022, when it was at $29. Buy this Roku now to make sure any TV you have gets snappy performance, stable streaming (from its new built-in long-range Wi-Fi receiver) and (again) all the apps you could ask for. As I explained in our Roku Streaming Stick 4K review, we love this streaming stick for a lot of reasons....

An image posted by Weibo user I’m Fat Chuan (opens in new tab) and published by LetsGoDigital (opens in new tab) has shown what looks to be the back panel of an unknown OnePlus phone. Chuan, in a message to their source also included in the image, identifies the phone as the basic OnePlus 10. There are black and white versions of the same backplate, but they’re otherwise identical. In the top left corner of the slightly curved panel there’s a glossy rectangular camera block housing one large camera at the top with openings for up to another three smaller ones beneath it, plus a flash module....

However, Pimax may be looking to change that. First reported by PC Gamer (opens in new tab), Pimax has announced a new project called Pimax Portal (opens in new tab), which looks to combine a handheld gaming device with a virtual reality headset.

Portugal squeaked through their World Cup play-off semi-final against Turkey. First-half goals from Otavio and Jota put them firmly in the driver’s seat, but the second period was extremely dicey after Burak Yilmaz pulled one back for Turkey and then missed a golden opportunity to equalize from the spot. A goal in stoppage time from Mathues Nunes added some gloss to the final score, but Portugal had to work to earn their place in this World Cup play-off final....

A photo provided by Twitter user BeardyShaman (opens in new tab), suggests that the new Prime Original could be set in or around Fallout 3. The Super Duper Mart was introduced in that installment of the RPG video game series, so it would be logical to guess the new series could take place in that setting. Additionally, two days ago, actor Walton Goggins took to his Instagram (opens in new tab) to post a rare behind-the-scenes photo from the new Fallout TV series (we do not have an official name yet)....
