Say what you will about how the Epic Games Store compares to Steam, but it’s hard to beat getting a new free game to play every week. Last week Epic Games gave us Wolfenstein: The New Order, but if you need a break from story-focused first person shooters, get ready for a breath of fresh air. The open-world survival game Maneater (opens in new tab) is available to download for free on the Epic Games Store this week....

It’s just slapstick, but it works, because the game takes a silly premise and fully commits to it. “Taking a silly premise and fully committing to it” is an apt way to describe Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope overall. In this sequel to Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle (one of the best Nintendo Switch games by a wide margin), you’ll once again take control of Mario, his friends and their Raving Rabbid counterparts as they duke it out with colorful foes in demanding turn-based battles....

The bug was discovered by cybersecurity expert Kevin Beaumont and has since been given the name “Follina” It’s now being tracked as CVE-2022-30190 (opens in new tab) and Microsoft describes it as a Microsoft Windows Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) remote code execution vulnerability according to BleepingComputer (opens in new tab). Follina is particularly concerning, as this zero-day vulnerability affects all versions of Windows that are still receiving security updates. In a recent blog post (opens in new tab), the Microsoft Security Response Center provided further details on the bug and how it can be used to attack systems running Windows 7 all the way up to Windows 11, saying: “A remote code execution vulnerability exists when MSDT is called using the URL protocol from a calling application such as Word....

Given how similar the Surface Pro 9 is to last year’s model, it’s understandable if you’re on the fence. While the latest Surface Pro looks like a slick little Windows 11 tablet (or 2-in-1, if you splurge for the attachable keyboard that helps it double as a laptop), it’s more evolution than revolution when compared to its predecessor. And now that the new model is coming out, Microsoft’s selling the old Surface Pro 8 for several hundred dollars less than the Pro 9....

In an email today (August 24), MoviePass announced that it would be launching the beta version of its new service on Labor Day (September 5). Well, technically it will launch on or around Labor Day — so there’s still time for things to get delayed. But it really seems that the service is finally making a return. The waitlist will be open from August 25 through August 29. We also know what the service will cost, though it remains to be seen what you get for your money....

In a Nov. 15 blog post (opens in new tab), Netflix explains they’re just trying to help us out when memory fails. “Logging in to your account while at a hotel or even your friend’s house is easy and intuitive, but occasionally people forget to log out,” the post reads. The new feature, called Managing Access and Devices, can be found under Account Settings and is now available to all members around the world....

Nexar Pro GPS dash cam review: Price and availability The Nexar Pro is available for $159.95 from Nexar’s online shop. It’s not a bad price for a branded dual dash cam set up, but remember that multiple rival brands offer better-specced packages, such as Nextbase’s 320XR. Nexar Pro GPS dash cam review: Design & features The Nexar Pro’s giant pill design sparks definite 90s webcam vibes. Sure, it may have curves aplenty, but its cheap, scratchy plastic and minimal weight make it feel sub-premium....

Specifically, the deal brings the upcoming (not the previous) Doctor Who seasons to Disney Plus in the U.S. and everywhere else Disney Plus is — outside of the U.K. and Ireland. This is the latest content coup for Disney Plus, following its acquisition of live streams of Dancing with the Stars (formerly on ABC). Disney’s move is a clever one, making sure it debuts big-name content outside of just new Marvel and Star Wars shows....

The reduced size makes it perfect for traveling with, and the battery life is long enough to occupy you for even long trips. Plus it has access to what’s already one of the best game libraries of all time, complete with essentials like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as well as tons of third-party ports, indie games and retro titles....

The eyes of the world will doubtless be watching after the U.K. government froze Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich’s assets — including the football club — due to his links to the Russian regime. The game will still go ahead, but the situation will surely have an effect on the players and indeed the atmosphere in the stadium. This was already a very important game; Chelsea are in a good place to take third place in the table, but a poor run of form could still see them caught....

During checkout, you’ll need to remove the discount that’s automatically added and instead add “TGNOLAH” as your discount....

We’re sorry U.S. OnePlus fans, but you’re getting short-changed on the OnePlus 10 Pro charging when compared other regions where the new flagship phone will ship. The Chinese smartphone maker has confirmed that the U.S. version of its latest flagship phone is limited to 65W charging rather than the faster 80W charging that OnePlus 10 Pro models in other nations will use. When the OnePlus 10 Pro launched in China earlier this year, it came with an upgraded 80W charging support, boosting charging speed from the OnePlus 9 Pro and its 65W standard....

One (or even two) new OnePlus phones could be about to drop, but it’s not the OnePlus 10 Pro. These will allegedly be cheaper Nord series devices, with the OnePlus Nord 2T being the one we know the most about. Lets start with that one: fairly comprehensive information on this claimed new Nord was published by Digit (opens in new tab), working with prolific Twitter leaker OnLeaks. From the stats given in the report, it’s a phone that understandably bears a lot of resemblance to the OnePlus Nord 2, but adds upgrades that could turn an already excellent phone into an even better one....

In the west, Samsung has been largely unchallenged in the foldables market after the first couple of underwhelming Motorola Razr foldables failed to make an impact. But that could change in 2022, not just from Motorola with the souped up Motorola Razr 2022 , but from Chinese giant Oppo, which looks set to release a couple of foldables outside of China later this year. The reliable leaker Yogesh Brar told Pricebaba (opens in new tab) that Oppo is bringing two new foldable smartphones to market this fall: the Oppo Find N Fold and Oppo Find N Flip....

After your first year is up, you’ll pay $49.99/year ($4.17/month) for the Essential plan or $99.99/year ($8.33 month) for the Premium Plan. Or you can cancel your subscription at any time to avoid any payments. However, Paramount Plus offers plenty of reasons to stick around for the long haul. For starters, you’ve got original shows like Halo, Star Trek: Picard, Yellowstone spin-off 1883, and new series The Offer, which chronicles the tumultuous production of The Godfather movie....

The show was given a straight-to-series order last August. But clearly, something has gone awry since as Peacock won’t be moving forward with the project. Little was known about the TV show aside from the fact it would be based on the classic 80s movie. The film stars Kevin Costner as a farmer who builds a baseball field in his cornfield in order to attract the ghosts of deceased baseball legends....

There’s a reason why Peloton tops the best exercise bike lists year after year — the classes. While there are cheaper bikes on the market, Peloton’s magic is in its instructors and pack-mentality, making you feel like you’re working out in a high-energy group studio without ever having to leave your home. Note that this discount applies to the Peloton Bike, not the Peloton Bike Plus. The main difference between the Bike and the Bike Plus is the screen — the screen on the more expensive Bike Plus rotates, meaning you can turn it to take classes next to the bike, rather than behind it....

Even worse: Peloton is about to increase the price of delivery for the Peloton Tread, Peloton Bike and Peloton Bike+, making them even more expensive. Is now a good time to buy a Peloton? In a word, yes. Peloton is increasing its prices on its Tread and Bike from January 31, citing rising inflation and heightened supply chain costs. The company will now be asking buyers to pay an additional $250 for the delivery and set up of the Bike, and an additional $350 for the delivery and set up of the Tread, according to a new banner on the company’s website....

At a Google I/O keynote where Google showed off the Pixel 6a that will arrive in July, a Pixel 7 and Pixel Watch that will show up in the fall and a Pixel tablet that ships at some point next year, it seems churlish to hone in on the hardware Google didn’t talk about. And yet, the Pixel Fold — a foldable device that some have tipped for release later this year — was notably left out of Google’s rundown of hardware you can expect from the company in the coming months....

As the Swiss-based provider described it in a tweet (opens in new tab), its new Stealth protocol is its very own custom-built anti-censorship protocol aimed to evade VPN blocks. “As surveillance around the world has grown, we’ve built a completely new protocol capable of bypassing internet censorship in authoritarian regimes.” Let’s now look a bit closer at how Proton VPN’s Stealth protocol works and when you should use it. What is Proton VPN Stealth?...
