Starting with this year’s football season, the NFL will use Sony’s Hawk-Eye cameras to measure the line to gain — a process the chain crew has done manually for decades.

When officials receive a measurement, the system will create a digital recreation of the measurement that the NFL will show inside the stadium and on TV.The NFL says Sony’s…

After last week’s game-centric Nintendo Direct, it’s time to turn our attention to the very exciting Nintendo Switch console which is a huge moment for gaming and will surely be one of the year’s most coveted tech launches. To announce more details on the console, there will be a Nintendo Direct taking place tomorrow, 2 April.

Members of ZeniMax Workers United, a union of over 300 quality assurance workers in Texas and Maryland, have voted to authorize a strike.The vote, which passed with over 94 percent in favor of authorization, does not mean workers have gone on strike like SAG-AFTRA members have in the ongoing video game voice actors strike.

Nintendo saved a dying handheld console market back in 2017 when it launched the Nintendo Switch. The little hybrid console that could had a great run, playing host to some all-time classic games – but its reign is over. The Nintendo Switch 2 is official thanks to a January 2025 reveal and will be launching very soon. Nintendo officially confirmed the follow-up handheld’s existence with a two-minute YouTube trailer highlighting some of its new features – and teasing an all new Mario Kart game – following several high-profile leaks. It held plenty back for a full reveal though. And this…

In an email, Sweeney told The Verge that learning “who owns what planes already requires research,” and that he and other jet trackers often “use the media and associated sources” rather than the FAA’s database of registrations. The FAA said on Friday that it’s considering defaulting to withholding personally identifiable information from registration records. Even if jet trackers relied more on the FAA’s database, Sweeney suspected that the rule doesn’t apply to those who register their jets with trusts or other entities, something he says private jet owners do regularly. However, FAA spokesperson Kevin Morris told The Verge in an…

OLED tech has all but conquered the TV world by this point, and has been making inroads into PC monitors for a few years now – but perfect blacks and instant response times don’t come cheap. Or rather, they didn’t: Acer’s new Predator X27U X1 is the first sensibly-priced OLED gaming monitor I’d actually consider buying, thanks in part to the realistic resolution. Not everyone has thousands to spend on an RTX 5090 graphics card, or wants to rely on upscaling tech just to get playable frame rates at their monitor’s native resolution. That makes the Predator X27U X1’s 2560×1440…
