Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is one of the most anticipated games of 2025, and we can’t wait to get our hands on it. We loved the original, giving it a well-earned four-star review, and its sequel promises to be just as ambitious.

Teaming up with Kojima Productions, Hamilton has designed a futuristic take on its classic Boulton watch. The in-game version appears on the wrist of protagonist Sam Porter Bridges (Norman Reedus), but the real-life…
It fit! Despite Brompton embiggening everything on its iconic folding bike, I was chuffed to see the new model G e-bike collapse into a compact package I could hoist onto the narrow tray inside my adventure van — the first crucial step in testing what Brompton calls “the most versatile e-bike in the world.”The G lineup is already being sold in many countries as a regular bicycle or pedal-assisted electric bike, but only the former is currently sold in the US, with the e-bike coming later this fall. All Brompton G bikes come fitted with larger 20-inch wheels, hydraulic disc…

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested a former Columbia University student over his involvement in the pro-Palestine protests that swept the campus over the past year, even though he has a green card and was never charged with a crime. Columbia, the site of a monthslong pro-Palestine encampment, became a particular obsession for right-wingers and liberal Zionists alike, who accused the university of turning a blind eye to campus antisemitism even as it sent the New York Police Department to arrest its own students. This latest arrest signals that the Trump administration is similarly determined to punish protesters —…

Removing a single tri-point screw on the bottom of the alarm clock allows its faceplate to be simply twisted off, providing easy access to its internal hardware.There aren’t a lot of surprises inside Alarmo. Below its 2.4-inch LCD screen, you’ll find the 24GHz mmWave presence sensor the alarm clock uses to detect your body movements and whether you’re sleeping through an alarm.
