Apple hasn’t quite tasted the domain-shifting success it expected with the Vision Pro headset. A price tag worth $3,500 was already a deterrent, but the gaming ecosystem—a key driver for the VR segment—has also been lackluster. The company is now hoping to fix that situation, with some help from Sony. According to Bloomberg, the two companies have been working together to bring support for the PlayStation VR 2’s controllers to the pricey Apple headset. “Apple has discussed the plan with third-party developers, asking them if they’d integrate support into their games. Interestingly, both parties were expected to officially confirm the…

As of now, I spend my time split between a Windows PC and a MacBook Pro. Both serve their purpose to my needs, and as much as I’d like to unify everything into one device, I haven’t found a single machine that could truly fit. Then, the M4 Mac mini came out. As I’ve considered a purchase, it has me rethinking my entire setup. The surprising bit? Rather than replacing my MacBook Pro as you might expect, I’m seeing more and more reason to ditch my PC entirely and leave Windows behind for good. It just works Switching from Windows…
Finding an adequate, accessible and available charging station, charging up, and paying for the service before hitting the road, has all been far from a seamless experience for many drivers of electric vehicles (EVs) in the U.S. That’s about to change thanks to a just-announced initiative by the Biden administration and a private consortium of charging networks, automakers, and other infrastructure middle-players. The consortium says it will establish a universal plug-and-charge protocol to allow all EVs to just plug in and charge at all public stations in the U.S. in 2025. “Universal Plug & Charge levels up the electric fueling…
It’s not quite as dominant as Netflix, but Disney+ has emerged as one of the biggest streaming services in the world.

In a paper published in Nature, DeepMind researchers said they found that GenCast outperforms the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts’ ENS—apparently the world’s top operational forecasting system. Weather forecasts are fundamentally uncertain, so predicting the range of probable weather scenarios is crucial for important decisions, from warning the public about hazardous weather to planning renewable energy use. Traditionally, weather forecasts have been based on numerical weather prediction (NWP)1, which relies on physics-based simulations of the atmosphere. Recent advances in machine learning (ML)-based weather prediction (MLWP) have produced ML-based models with less forecast error than single NWP simulations2,3. However, these…
