Google Flights Will Tell You the Cheapest Time to Book a Ticket

Tired of that giant white slab of a PlayStation 5 in your living room and looking to add a bit of pizzazz to your surroundings?

Take a moment to imagine where you might have a better quality of life. Did France spring to mind? It does have universal healthcare, affordable childcare, a high level of civic and social engagement, good work-life balance, and of course it’s home to beautiful countryside and arguably the most desirable city on earth, so that would be a natural place to think of.

The Kirin 9000S found in Huawei’s latest flagship smartphone, the Mate 60 Pro 5G, would not have been possible without the involvement of SMIC, a Chinese chipmaker that leveraged its second-generation 7nm process to mass produce the SoC. However, one U.S. congressman believes that stricter sanctions should be placed on both SMIC and Huawei as the trade between them should not have happened.

Classic Sega arcade racing game Daytona USA 2 will receive its first ever home port, 25 years after it was released in arcades.

It's been almost a year since Apple introduced the iPhone 14, which brought a special feature called "Emergency SOS via Satellite."
