Ring announced a handful of new features for its Ring Protect Basic plan this week. Subscribers will get access to 180 days of video (up from 60), some more alert options, and the promise of a lot of “coming soon” features. The catch? It comes at a cost: the price of the Protect Basic plan is going up starting in July, to $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the US. (Until now, it has been $3 a month or $30 a year.) Existing customers will see the price jump whenever their subscription renews after that. For some Ring…

A fan-made randomiser mod for Elden Ring completely changes how the player can engage with FromSoftware’s most recent SoulsBorne title. Called the “Elden Ring item and enemy randomiser” and designed by Matt “thefifthmatt” Gruen, the mod completely randomises every item, starting loadout and even allows for enemy placement to be customised. As noted by Kotaku, this means that true masochists can turn every single enemy in the game into the hardest boss, Malenia, if they so choose. Players can even randomise key items…

Shanna Moakler and her ex-husband, Travis Barker, parted ways in 2008, however, the actress seems to clear out one of her last connections to her marriage to Travis Barker by selling the diamond engagement ring he gave her. The model recently auctioned off the ring to the highest bidder through Worthy.com, with the winner fixing the deal for $96,500. Meanwhile, Shanna sounded conflicted about the auction in a previous interview. She said, “Nobody expects a happy marriage to end… and nobody ever hopes to let go of…

Out of every piece of wearable technology I’ve ever owned or reviewed, the Oura Ring has been the one I have worn most consistently. In fact, I have almost a year’s worth of unbroken historical data logged in the app, and that’s more than I have for the Apple Watch, my other preferred piece of wearable tech. While I have a year’s worth of data, six months of this has been with the most recent third-generation version of the ring, making it a good time to revisit why I’ve barely taken it off. However, while I love the…

I’m still in spoiler mode for now Even though tons of people have played Elden Ring, I’m still in spoiler mode. So consider this a warning, as famed From Software director Hidetaka Miyazaki just shared his favorite Elden Ring boss with everyone today, and we’re going to talk about it! Thanks to an interview from Xbox Wire, straight from Miyazaki’s mouth, we know that his favorite boss is Starscourge Radahn, or just “Radahn.” I can see why! Radahn made a huge impact on me when I was playing, to the point where, once…

The Oura Ring was one of the buzziest gadgets during the pandemic. Not only did it spark a weird sleep competition between Gwyneth Paltrow and Kim Kardashian, but it was also featured in the NBA’s COVID prevention plans, and there were several studies to see whether wearables could predict COVID-19. And now, there’s a Gucci version that costs an eye-watering $950. The Gucci x Oura Ring is made out of “black synthetic corundum” detailed with a braided border and an 18-karat gold Gucci G. It weighs four grams, and the…

Oura, the company that makes the Oura Ring, has struck a partnership with luxury fashion brand Gucci to create a special version of its wearable health tracker. It adds the existing technology inside the Oura Ring to a new, instantly recognizable Gucci design, giving those interested in the wearable a new look to choose, provided they have the budget to do so. The Oura x Gucci smart ring is based on the third-generation model, which was released in November 2021, complete with new sensors and more app functionality,…

In Elden Ring, we've visited some pretty awful places during our journey through the Lands Between, where any number of people have been tortured and murdered. Traveling through the Consecrated Snowfield, however, we can finally find our way to somewhere that's not quite so horrifying--at least, on paper. That place is Miquella's Haligtree, another giant tree that once might have been the seat of a new religion to replace the Golden Order and the Erdtree itself. But nothing good can survive the Lands…

No more awkward post-fight goodbyes A new mod for Elden Ring aims to make co-op persist beyond the fog door, and it’s going into beta this week. Modder LukeYui’s seamless co-op mod for Elden Ring is going into public beta on May 27. Yes, Elden Ring does already support co-op. But it is limited to certain areas and generally feels like it’s meant for tackling bosses or tough areas, rather than exploring the Lands Between together. The seamless co-op mod for Elden Ring could change that. Shown off in a video, LukeYui’s mod…

With Sir Gideon, The All-Knowing slain, it's time to make the final ascent to the Erdtree and claim the throne.
