There’s no doubt in my mind that an Apple Watch Ultra is in my future, and a new rumor about the second-gen model tells me that future is closer than I thought. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 might be lighter than its predecessor, and that certainly ticks one of the boxes I have for Apple’s best smartwatch to date. I’d also love the upcoming Ultra to be thinner than the first-gen model. Considering a different set of leaks that we saw recently, that’s also in the realm of possibility, although I’m just speculating at…

When the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) changes its certificate for an old movie, it is generally to ease up a bit and concede, like strict parents letting their teens have a glass of wine at dinner, that all right, times have changed. The Alien movies were once rated 18; now they’re 15.However, the recent decision to upgrade the 1978 animated version of Watership Down – the much-loved wild rabbit adventure – from U to PG (Parental Guidance) is a remarkable example of the censoring authority becoming more…

The South Korean car manufacturer Kia is all set to launch the facelifted version of its popular SUV, the Seltos, in the market. The Seltos was Kia’s first product in the Indian market and was launched in 2019. Internationally, a facelift for the Seltos has already been launched, but it was not offered in India.

Nintendo has a bad reputation for its online infrastructure, often being ridiculed for in adopting the latest technologies or features (such as for voice chat). This includes transitioning user data between your old console and a new one. Fortunately, it sounds like Nintendo is at least looking into making that easier before the launch of its next console. In a late last week, when asked if your Nintendo Switch purchases would carry over to future game consoles, President and CEO Shuntaro Furukawa says (via Google…

Image via Warner Bros. Whether you’re a DC fan who wished this final outing for the SnyderVerse couldn’t been better or someone who actually loved it, it’s hard to take any pleasure from the way The Flash is tanking hard at the box office — unless you’re General Zod, that is. Every new unwanted record or embarrassing low the movie reaches feels like something being not just kicked when it’s already down but trampled over by a herd of elephants.
