The Google Pixel Watch feels like a $350 relic for your wrist

The Pixel Watch is finally here, and for all the hype that it once generated, the final product seems way off the bullseye. But make no mistake; this is definitely a Pixel smartwatch, complemented by a standout curvy design and a generous serving of neat software perks. But the whole package isn’t generous enough for a lavish $350+ price tag. Almost every pitfall of the Pixel Watch has to do with this pricing, from controversial hardware choices to an almost-there fitness package. Much flash, little substance Google…

Why I’m happy my new Apple Watch Series 8 already feels old

Taken as a whole, the Apple Watch is an impressive piece of technology. It remains one of the best smartwatches out there, and it’s by far the most practical option for iPhone owners. Each year, the Apple Watch gains small improvements that Apple undoubtedly hopes will be enough to draw new customers into the fold. However, these year-over-year improvements aren’t enough for most current Apple Watch owners to justify upgrading to a newer model. Joe Maring/Digital Trends To be clear, there’s nothing inherently wrong…

‘The Batman’ Fan Feels the Collective Wrath of MCU Fandom After Making a Bold Claim

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures It’s always said that poking a bear is never a smart idea. Well, everyone always forgets to add how pissing-off MCU fans by dissing their fandom isn’t an ingenious plan either. A fan of The Batman movie found that out the hard way after a tweet ignited the wrath of Marvel loyalists everywhere. Twitter user HarleyClears was probably just pontificating about one of their favorite movies i.e., The Batman when they claimed that the Robert Pattinson starrer was better than every single…

The Sequel That Saved a Dead Franchise Feels the Heat on 2 Rival Streamers

via Sony The longer any project spends in development hell, the more likely it is to remain there forever. Having endured countless false starts for well over a decade, there were a lot of fans who’d resigned themselves to the fact a third Bad Boys movie was never going to happen. Of course, not only did it end up coming together and exploding into theaters 17 years after its predecessor, but Bad Boys for Life was a monster. A $426 million tally at the box office wasn’t just more than the previous two…

Dish’s 5G service still feels like a beta

As soon as I got in my car, my Galaxy S22 connected to Dish’s brand new 5G network lost connection to the internet. I was a little surprised but not shocked — the service, Project Genesis, is only a few months old and only covers around a quarter of the US population. The service has always been a bit spotty on my side of Spokane, Washington, growing stronger and more reliable as you get closer to downtown. But as I drove laps around Riverside park, which was once my go-to testing area for the service, I grew increasingly…

Why the RTX 4080 12GB feels a lot like a rebranded RTX 4070

Nvidia announced two versions of its RTX 4080 at its GTC keynote — a 12GB model and a 16GB model. On the surface, this seems simple. Two configurations of the same graphics cards, except with different amount of memory. This is, after all, what Nvidia did with its RTX 3080 last year. There was the original 8GB RTX 3080, and the 12GB RTX 3080 that got released earlier this year. But the situation with the two “versions” of the RTX 4080 couldn’t be more different. Not only is there a $300 gulf in price between these…
