And that’s not easy to do during a moment where rivals such as HBO Max and Peacock have apparently taken a bunch of the best movies that Netflix used to house....
After spending some time with the latest high-end model packing Intel’s new Alder Lake chips and one of the beefiest graphics cards Nvidia makes, I can confirm that you get what you pay for. The glossy black monolith that is the Orion 7000 looks great on a desk, and the cooling in our review unit kept it running quiet—until we kicked it into high gear while gaming, at which point the fans made quite a racket....
As you’ll see in our AirPods Pro 2 review, Apple has improved upon its earbuds in several ways. This includes 2x better noise cancelation. “When it’s active with music playing at a medium volume the noise cancellation can overcome what I feel is 95% of household and office noise,” our review says. “You won’t be able to hear a person sitting next to you, even if you’re looking at them, and the dull hum of the office will fade into nothing....
The extra device support greatly expands the scope of Watch Party, and arguably gives it the flexibility it was sorely missing. Previously, you’d have to either watch on a smartphone or tablet or use a PC or laptop to stream to a TV or the likes of a Chromecast; hardly an elegant way to enjoy a movie with a mass of people. This updated version of Watch Party is very easy to use....
A number of anonymous industry sources told Digital Times (opens in new tab) that AMD will release its new Ryzen 7000 desktop processors in September. AMD revealed its plans for the upcoming Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 series laptops earlier this month (May 2022).

In a short thread on Twitter (opens in new tab), ShrimpApplePro claimed that aluminum models will be available in starlight, midnight, product red and silver, while the stainless steel version will come in silver, graphite or gold. That means it’s the end of the road for the more playful blue and green shades, with starlight and silver introduced for the aluminum cased models instead. Apple is also apparently set to make the Apple Watch 8 tougher than previous generations, with the leaker claiming the introduction of a “new box seal with stronger glue”, that will damage the box if resealing is attempted....
Avast Mobile Security review: Costs and what’s covered Avast Mobile Security comes in three flavors that suit different tastes and budgets. It starts with the free app that you pay for by watching ads. In addition to malware scanning, Mobile Security Free adds luxuries like Avast’s Photo Vault but only holds 10 images. It also has Hack Alerts to see if your email address or passwords have shown up online and the Malware Force Uninstaller can remove pesky unwanted apps....
But, these models don’t all perform to the same standard. Some offer a sturdier design along with more consistent results. This is important if you want to avoid chunks in your ingredients. Then there’s the noise as well as the size to consider — you don’t want it overpowering conversation or hogging the kitchen counter, but you don’t want it so lightweight that it vibrates and moves either. To find those food processors that deliver in every respect is no easy feat, but we can help....

If they can match or better Leeds’ result against Brentford, they will stay up....

Sadly it’s also among the biggest, heaviest and slowest portable air compressors on the market. It has a three-year warranty, but the V20 Cordless Tire Inflator is still among the most expensive ways to fill a tire with air. Craftsman V20 Cordless Tire Inflator: Price and availability Priced at $89 on its own, the V20 Cordless Tire Inflator might seem to be on the expensive side, but nothing outlandish....

Here’s a brief description of my time with each one. If one of them strikes your fancy, keep an eye out for pricing and release date info, which each developer will communicate soon....
