CUPERTINO—Alongside the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple introduced a brand new way to interact with your smartwatch, and it's more than just a gimmick. 

I'm the kind of awful person who looks at the background actors in TV shows and wonders what life is like for e.g. the old woman who sells birdfeed in Trafalgar Square in Mary Poppins when said upper-middle class domestic isn't singing about her. What fate the Warcraft grunt when he is too old to work work? It's probably pretty bad, right? Now let me slop Innkeep down in front of you like a big bowl of rat stew. Developer Daniel Burke furnished me with a little playable slice, and boy, Innkeep is a grim old time. I mean that as a compliment.

CUPERTINO—Of all of Apple's announcements today, the iPhone's switch to USB-C elicited the loudest cheers from attendees in the Steve Jobs Theater.

Persona 5 Tactica continues a fascinating tradition of Persona spinoffs that want to break you into new genres.

Persona 3 Reload proved to me just how much Persona 3 has needed a remake.

Garena Free Fire Redeem Codes for August 7: In Garena Free Fire, players must endure till the end to become the clear winner. A maximum of 50 players participate in a 10-minute round where items like weapons, grenades, armor, med kits, and more come in handy. In the classic battle royale-style gameplay, players need character upgrades, skins, rewards, armor, weapons, and so on to survive longer. While most of these items can be purchased in the in-game shop with the help of diamonds, players can also get them for free with Garena Free Fire redeem codes.

Samsung's latest foldable phones, the Z Flip 5 and the Z Fold 5, are more about refinement than evolution. Along with the requisite high-end specs, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 (starting at $999.99) and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 (starting at $1,799.99) now fold completely flat thanks to a simpler, gap-free hinge. In addition, the Z Flip 5 has a much larger outer screen than the previous model, likely to compete with the Motorola Razr+.

Samsung's latest smartwatches are here, and they bring changes big and small. The Galaxy Watch 6 (starting at $299.99, $20 more than its predecessor) and the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic (starting at $399.99) feature big, bright displays, but significantly shorter battery life than the last generation. The Classic model sports Samsung's famed physical rotating bezel, a popular feature among Galaxy Watch fans that allows for quick scrolling. This is the first time Samsung has released a Galaxy Watch with a rotating bezel since the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic in 2021.

The DJI Air 3 brings the mid-sized drone series back into the forefront, after a few years of DJI paying more attention to its lightweight Mini and pro Mavic folding drones. The Air 3 is small enough to carry in a small bag, but heavy enough to require FAA registration. The extra size makes room for a new dual camera system, all-around obstacle avoidance, and generally zippier performance than you get from the next model down in the line, the Mini 3 Pro.

I've now witnessed something cooler than Optimus Prime auto-transforming into a truck and back via voice command. Robosen—the robot company behind the various self-converting iterations of Optimus over the last couple of years, as well as the non-transforming Bumblebee G1—is launching a high-dollar version of the Dinobot leader, named Grimlock.
