The Pokémon TCG Galar Collection launched earlier this month, and the combination of iconic new creatures from Sword & Shield and some bonus packs for those interested makes the bundle a formidable holiday bonus for fans of the series. The Pokémon TCG will be eyeing the Galar region as its sets release in the future, and has just come off a year where Pokémon tag teams really took off from a design standpoint, creating some of the most visually pleasing cards in the game’s history on top of some truly powerful combinations....

We’re getting closer to the official announcement of the iPhone 13, which is expected to take place sometime between September and October. According to the rumors, this year’s iPhones will keep the same design as the iPhone 12, but that doesn’t mean that we won’t see some minor changes. Now we want to know which new colors you want to see in the iPhone 13 lineup. Based on rumors, although the iPhone 13 (or iPhone 12S) is expected to have a similar design to the current iPhone 12 design, Apple will finally reduce the size of the notch — which is the area that houses the Face ID sensors and the top speaker....

When we learned yesterday that Apple seemingly plans to replace the iconic glass cube of the Apple Store at New York’s 5th Avenue, the reason wasn’t clear. However, some architectural models that have just come to light might explain the reason and give us a sneak preview of the new design of the flagship store. Apple replaced the glass cube once before, back in 2011, when it was able to reduce the number of glass panes from 90 to just 15, resulting in a much cleaner look....

While most Android OEMs have openly embraced the Android community and provide a bootloader unlocking tool, they bent to the whims of certain carriers in the United States and ship their phone with a locked down bootloader that is compatible with their bootloader unlocking tool. While gaining root access is still possible on these devices via an exploit, flashing custom ROMs becomes an incredibly complex process because of the locked down bootloader....

One of the key features of watchOS 5 is a native Podcasts app for the Apple Watch. With this new feature, you will be able to stream, download, and play podcast episodes using only your Apple Watch. At WWDC, we also learned that watchOS 5 does bring new capabilities for third-party audio apps. As attendees learned more about the capabilities of watchOS 5, we learned that Apple Watch would have a background mode for audio playback....

When Supernatural first premiered in the fall of 2005, people had no idea the phenomenon and impact the show would have on audiences. Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) lead the show as the Winchester brothers that were raised in the hunting life, dedicated to eradicating any and all supernatural things following the death of their mother. Over the course of the series, the show has immortalized symbols like pie and Dean’s car, “Baby”....

WB’s Portkey Games is bringing two different Harry Potter titles to iOS this year, and today some fresh details along with a new trailer have been released for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. Last November, we got our first details about Niantic’s upcoming take on the world of Hogwarts with the AR focused Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. The popular Pokémon GO developer is partnering with Portkey Games to bring that title to market, just as Jam City (creator of Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow) is also working with WB Studio to launch the upcoming Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery....

Pokemon Sword and Shield’s Pokedex has now expanded beyond its initial 400 Pokemon. Here are all the obtainable Pokemon through Pokemon Home. Pokemon Home is the first time since Pokemon X and Y a Pokemon title has been able to document every Pokemon to ever exist through the National Dex. The decision to not have a National Dex began since Pokemon Sun and Moon and the Nintendo 3DS. Since Pokemon Sun and Moon was the generation that introduced Pokemon Bank, the developers decided to make that the platform where trainers can keep track of their National Dex instead of a mainline title....

Pokemon Sword and Shield’s Alcremie has over 65 forms. Here’s a guide to get every version of Milcery’s evolution. Pokemon Sword and Shield have brought a new generation of Pokemon with the Galar region. Dozens of new Pokemon and new regent variations of older Pokemon called “Galarian Forms” fill up the newest Pokedex. Within the Pokemon series, evolution has played a key role in making the trainers Pokemon stronger. As the generations have gone by, new and interesting ways have developed in evolving Pokemon (aside from just leveling up the trainers’ monsters or using an evolutionary stone)....

There are a number of differences between Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, so many change-ups that it’s important to note what exclusives await gamers in each version so that the right edition is chosen. Even then, some fans have had to contest with issues based on feeling scorned by the games not featuring a National Dex. This essentially just means that not every Pokemon will be present and accounted for–a decision that has divided the community....

Why Target Technology? Attacking tech companies, at least for the criminal, has certain advantages. A breach at a major technology company is sure to make headlines as well as reap rewards of personal data, proprietary information, and possibly money. Startups particularly stand out as vulnerable targets because of their inexperience and large amounts of information and/or capital. The hyper-driven pace that many of these companies operate at often compounds the chance for an employee making a mistake and clicking on a link or sending out secret information when they shouldn’t have....

Adam DeVine, known from his role in Pitch Perfect, has revealed that he is team Prince Harry amid the royal shakeup. Many celebrities are taking time to stick up for the handsome royal as he takes steps to become more independent. While the United States of America has no monarchy of its own, many US citizens have adopted the British royals as their own. Americans were devastated at the loss of Princess Diana but were happy to see that her two sons turned out so well despite their mother’s guidance, with both princes since they have gotten married and have children of their own....

The developers behind Pixelmator have just released another free update to the Mac app, available in the Mac App Store ($29.99). Despite the bug-fix identifier, Version 3.3.2 packs some cool enhancements to support Apple’s latest technologies and hardware. For one, as demoed in the screenshot above, Pixelmator brushes now support Force Touch so you can draw with multiple levels of pressure by pressing harder on the touchpad of your new Retina MacBook (or early 2015 13 inch Retina MacBook Pro)....

Microsoft introduced this week a redesigned Windows 11. Of all the features unveiled, do you think Apple should copy one of them for the Mac? With Windows 11, Microsoft likely was inspired by macOS with its new Start Menu. It combines apps, recent documents, and a separate search interface. Although similar, Microsoft uses a solid color in the menu rather than Apple’s translucent one. Snap Layouts and Snap Groups are a handy feature that resembles, at the first glance, Apple’s approach to iPadOS 15 with Split View and Slide Over....

As our sister-site Electrek covers so well, the automobile landscape is clearly changing with electric vehicles replacing gas-powered cars, autonomous features potentially replacing drivers, and Apple even developing an EV of its own. But Porsche wants no part in that future, says CEO Oliver Blume. Reuters reports that Blume told German media this week essentially that a Porsche is meant to be driven, and that an iPhone is meant for your pocket, not the road:...

It is going to be pretty obvious if the water shuts off all over the city; people stuck in elevators will be highly aware of the fact that there is no electricity, just like the drivers trying to get around in a city without traffic signals. Just imagine the chaos if someone were to shut down sewage treatment plants. Are criminals and terrorists willing to put thousands of lives at risk?...

There have been countless podcasts related to the COVID–19 pandemic and Apple even had a featured Apple Podcasts category related to shows about it. This week, I want to introduce you to a podcast about emotion and how COVID–19 is affecting us. This week, my new recommendation for you is ’Our Plague Year’. Our Plague Year is from the team behind Night Vale, and I can only describe it as therapeutic when you listen to it....

Being a child of the 1990s, the 1992 Dream Team is a strong memory from my childhood, and I vividly remember watching the USA team absolutely dominate the rest of the world. If you watched the Last Dance on ESPN, you’ll hear quite a bit about this team, “the practice” where Michael took over the NBA, and much more. If you want to go deeper, you’ll love this podcast. Don’t forget about the great lineup of podcasts on the 9to5 Network....
