It’s time to leave Netflix’s binge-release model behind for good

WhenNetflixstarted producing and releasing its own shows in the early 2010s, the streaming service’s binge-driven, all-at-once release model felt like a breath of fresh air. It was an approach to TV distribution that completely flew in the face of the medium’s established methods — one that prioritized viewers’ interest and schedules over everything else. A lot has changed in the decade since Netflix first burst onto the scene as a distributor of new originals, though....

More significant Wii U games and a handful of 3DS titles were ported to Switch, but many titles arestill stuck on those systemsandcan’t be ported....

Oh, no! Forza Horizon 5 might turn me into a car guy

I don’t know how to drive a car. The idea of piloting a big machine at high speeds always triggered my anxiety and gave me cold feet when placed above a pedal. Luckily, I grew up in a small town where I could generally walk to any friend’s house with relative ease and later moved to New York City, where a car is unnecessary. Oh, I also failed my driver’s license test....

Pairing Touch ID with Face ID would be the smartest addition to the iPhone 13

TheiPhone 13is rumored to include a number of major improvements over previous-generation iPhone models. Reportedly, we’ll finally get a device with a high-refresh rate display ans an updated processor. And, according to some rumors, we’ll get an in-display fingerprint sensor, too. The change would make sense. Mask use is, obviously, through the roof due to the coronavirus pandemic, and that really kills the utility of Face ID. Adding Touch ID would get around having to punch in your PIN every time you want to check your grocery list at the store....
