The Weather Channel roasted the Falcons during Hurricane Milton coverage

28-3 jokes will never die.

It’s just never, ever, ever going to end for Falcons fans. If you were watching coverage of Hurricanes Milton on The Weather Channel on Wednesday night you probably caught wind of an absolutely wild comparison between the lingering danger of the storm, and one of the NFL’s most unfortunate franchises.

“We definitely enjoyed the little halftime show that mother nature gave us inside Milton, but now we got the second half. I gotta remind everyone...

AI agents are autonomous programs that perform tasks, make decisions, and interact with environments with little human input, and they’re the focus of every major company working on AI today. Microsoft has “Copilots” designed to help...

GM is launching its new PowerBank home battery unit today, which slots right into the company’s lineup of residential energy management products. The battery lets homeowners collect energy at off-peak times from the grid or a solar panel system and then power the home when energy prices peak or when the lights go out without needing to keep an EV hooked up in the garage.

Walmart might be the best place to preorder the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary bundle today

The second wave of preorders for the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle go live across major retailers today (Oct. 10). The drop comes two weeks after Sony initially launched the bundle in its PlayStation Direct storefront, where it promptly sold out.

Ravens-Commanders game will be heaven for fans of exotic smashmouth

If you’re tired of hearing about how running backs don’t matter and running quarterbacks are one-dimensional, this matchup is the one for you.

Back in 2016, then-Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Mularkey said that the offense he wanted to run was called “Exotic Smashmouth.” A lot of people laughed at the notion – or at least the name – but what Mularkey was talking about was no… well, malarkey. The former NFL tight end and offensive...

Panthers fans deserve more transparency on Bryce Young’s future

The lack of information on Bryce Young is beyond frustrating.

The Carolina Panthers are now 1-4, crashing back to earth after back-to-back losses proved the team’s problems were far deeper than average play at the quarterback position. It feels like an eon ago that Andy Dalton led to the Panthers to a huge Week 3 win over the Raiders, with his latest outing an abject disaster that saw the veteran quarterback finish 18-for-28 for 136 yards and an...

Metaphor: ReFantazio continues Persona’s great handheld heritage

Atlus’ Persona franchise is largely a console series, but it has a strong handheld heritage. There were excellent portable versions of Persona 3 and Persona 4, and Persona 5 Royal on Nintendo Switch was great, too. Metaphor: ReFantazio is a new fantasy JRPG from the team behind those beloved Personas. And while the game takes place in a different universe, many of the core elements are present in Metaphor — which means that it’s just as great of a handheld...

The inside story of Roku’s TV program

How a scrappy startup upended the U.S. TV market.

Ten years ago, streaming stick maker Roku released its first smart TVs in partnership with Hisense and TCL, two Chinese TV manufacturers that few had heard of in the U.S. at that time. In the years since, Roku has become the domestic smart TV market leader. Its hardware partners have become household names, and sold millions of units to U.S. consumers.

The online service could help cemeteries reach new customers, and memorialize the lives of loved ones in a new way.

Alex Josephson was thinking about tombstones. It was early 2022 and he was sitting in a Toronto hospital room alongside his father, who was on the verge of dying from complications with COVID-19. “He said, listen, I bought plots in a cemetery and if I don’t get out of the ICU, this is what I want on my tombstone,” Josephson recalls.
