With over 108 million subscribers, WWE has truly colossal reach on YouTube. The company currently sits just behind PewDiePie at number 11 on the list of most-subscribed channels across the entire platform. When you’re at that level of popularity, there’s constant communication with YouTube about best practices, key viewership metrics, and the latest strategies for pulling in even more eyeballs.Â

Last year, WWE decided to shake up (and split up) its YouTube strategy. The company introduced a new standalone channel called WWE Vault that became the new destination for classic live events, full matches, and rare archival foot

Lucas Pope, the solo creator of games like Papers, Please and Return of the Obra Dinn, received the Pioneer Award from the annual Game Developers Choice Awards this year. It’s a major achievement that puts him in a league with industry giants like Gabe Newell, Yu Suzuki, and Roberta Williams.

“Now that I’m an official pioneer, I have some requests,” he said in his brief acceptance speech. “World peace, obviously. But for this crowd, I’d be happy if you kept makin

It’s a familiar frustration for ridehail users: you open the Uber or Lyft app, enter your destination, and discover that your intended trip costs several times more than expected. The culprit is surge pricing, one of ridehail’s most important and controversial innovations. Customers grumble about higher fares, but Uber and Lyft executives have insisted that surge pricing benefits them by attracting additional drivers, which allows the companies to fulfill more trips and reduce wait times.

That justification makes intuitive sense, but it raises an awkward question about robotaxis, which are expanding across the US, from [San Jose](https://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigation

Star Wars Zero Company will release sometime in 2026, according to an announcement from Disney and EA. The game’s title was revealed earlier this week.

Alongside the release year, the two companies also shared a bit more information about what you can expect from the game. “In Star Wars Zero Company, players will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer, to command an elite squad of cunning operatives through a gritty and authentic story set in the twilight of the Clone Wars,” according to a press release.

In a letter to the Social Security Administration’s Inspector General’s office requesting an investigation into DOGE, Ranking Member Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-VA) alleged that the government entity created by Elon Musk supposedly to reduce the size of the federal government is now constructing a “cross-agency master database” of sensitive personal information.

Wired appeared to back up Connolly’s allegations on Friday, detailing an effort at DOGE to fold this  database into the Department of Homeland Security, the counterterrorism agency founded after 9/11. Specifically, “mass amounts” of personal data harvested from the IRS, SSA, and voting records in Pennsyl

The government should be scrutinizing Meta’s power. Unfortunately, its legal attack isn’t cutting to the heart of what keeps Meta big.

This week, I spent three days in a Washington, DC courtroom watching Mark Zuckerberg testify. He was there defending his company from being broken up by the Federal Trade Commission, which is seeking to unwind his acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp on the grounds that they were anticompetitive. At times, he was made uncomfortable and challenged with evidence that he wanted to “neutralize” rivals. Primarily, what I observed was the FTC’s misunderstanding of how social media works.

Tesla has plenty of Cybertrucks listed on its website, and they’ve got some hefty discounts, including many for about $10,000 off, Electrek reports. Many are from the 2024 model year and include limited “Foundation Series” Cybertrucks that ended production in October, plus some lightly used “demo” ones we saw that have racked up around 300 miles on the odometer.

Some Cybertruck models in stock won’t be eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit either due to their age or because the sticker price is too high. But as of this writing, interested buyers could get more than that with the available discounts, including as much as a $11,990 cut off a top Cyberbeast model that

If you didn't know, Xubuntu is a lightweight, stable, and easy-to-use Linux distribution based on Ubuntu that has been designed to be as efficient and minimal as possible.

While it is offered as a long-term support release (LTS), there is always an interim release that follows months after the previous LTS release, continuing the cycle every six months.

We will be taking a look at one such release that has been introduced recently.

📋Xubuntu 25.04 will be supported for nine months until January 2026.

Baldur’s Gate 3 recently received its final major patch, adding features like cross-play, photo mode, and new subclasses in addition to myriad bug fixes. While there may be future updates to address undiscovered bugs, Larian Studios has capped off its support for Baldur’s Gate 3 in spectacular fashion. To mark the occasion, Steam and GOG have discounted copies of Baldur’s Gate 3 for PC to just $47.99 (was $59.99), while the [Xbox](https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/baldurs-gate-3/9ND58LQT

Star Wars Outlaws, the open-world action game from Massive Entertainment, is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on Sept. 4, publisher Ubisoft announced Friday.

A Switch 2 port of this graphically intensive game — ray-traced lighting is a foundational element of its look on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC — will be an important feather in the console’s cap. It’s another sign that Nintendo is determined to establish the Switch 2 as a home for ports of AAA third-party games, which took a while to come to the original Nintendo Switch because of its underpowered hardware.

The Freezer is a rare room in Blue Prince that freezes your currency, allowing you to carry it over to the next run.

Hear me out: LinkedIn actually has fun games on it. I’m not joking. There are games buried underneath all the posts from CEOs disrupting industries through the power of AI, and they’re actually kind of good.

My favorite is Zip, a game about filling up a grid with a continuous line. It’s a daily puzzle, like Wordle, where each day you have to fill a grid by connecting a series of numbers in order. You can’t leave any gaps, so you need to plan out how many detours you need to make to cover the whole thing. It honestly is more complicated to describe than to actually play it, but trust me, it’s really satisfying.

My second favorite is Queens because it’s like Sudoku without th

One of the most astounding characters in A24’s new fantasy-adventure movieThe Legend of Ochi is the titular mythical creature, a monkeylike animal with golden fur and big ears. While the other ochi in the movie are slightly bigger than human-sized, the main ochi is just a baby, small enough to perch on a kid’s shoulder. But even though it’s a mythical wee creature, it isn’t a digital effect:

A federal judge in Nevada has ruled that it’s unconstitutional to obtain swaths of cellular records through “tower dumps” — but will still let police get away with using it as evidence, as reported earlier by 404 Media and Court Watch.

With tower dumps, authorities can dig through the cell records that pinged off a particular tower during a specific time. Though police may be looking for just one record, these dumps often expose the data of thousands of people, [making it a major privacy concern](https://www.law.georgetown.edu/american-criminal-law-revi

This week, Kia announced its affordable EV4 electric sedan will launch in the US early next year. While the US won’t get a hatchback edition of the EV4 that was mentioned when it was revealed in February, there will be two battery configurations: a 58.3kWh battery with a Kia-estimated range of 235 miles, and a larger 81.4kWh battery with a Kia-estimated range of 330 miles. No EPA range estimates are currently available.

The EV4 will get Tesla’s NACS charging port and can charge up from 10 to 80 percent in 31 minutes at a DC fast charging station. It also has

In a true “serpent eating its own tail” moment, Limited Run is producing a boxed copy of Doom + Doom 2 with packaging that is capable of playing Doom – a Doomourobouros if you will. The aptly-named Will it Run Edition of Doom + Doom 2 is currently available to pre-order from Limited Run for $666.66 for either PC or Switch. Pre-orders for the unhinged box set will only be available through May 18 and limited to just 666 units, but won’t ship until Feb. 20, 2026 at the earliest.

While Limited Run hasn’t shown gameplay of the Will it Run Edition box in action, conceptual renders show what looks like a small LCD screen under the fr

Building (or rebuilding) a gaming PC can be difficult. It’s complex stuff, making sure everything’s compatible and whatnot. The next toughest part is finding a deal — and having the patience to wait for price drops without getting so antsy you buy everything at full price (shamefully raises hand). If you’re considering an AMD build, Micro Center has a great deal on a hardware bundle that includes the Ryzen 7 7800X3D (last-gen, but still among the mightiest CPUs around for gaming, according to our review), a motherboard, and RAM. Normally around $579.99, you can snag the bundle in-store only for [$499.99](https:

Target’s Nintendo Switch 2 preorders in the US will kick off on April 24th at 12AM ET, according to Target’s website. The preorder time applies to consoles, games, and accessories, the website says.
