Why it matters: Google introduced Digital Wellbeing in 2018 to give users control over how much time they spend on their Android devices. Now, the company is doubling down on the initiative by releasing three experimental apps meant to subtly shame users if they spend too much time on their phones. While some might dismiss this as unnecessary, others may welcome additional ways to control their digital life.

Digital Wellbeing debuted in 2018 as an experimental feature in Android Pie. It allowed people to manage their digital

Something to look forward to: Are you after a brand-new iPhone but don’t want to pay the high prices? A low-cost Apple handset could be here soon. According to a new report, the company is expected to put the iPhone SE 2, which could be called the iPhone 9, into mass production as soon as next month.

Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the plan, writes that production of the iPhone will be split between Foxconn, Pegatron, and Winstron, and the firm will

In context: Most avid PC gamers will probably remember the tragic downfall of Telltale Games. Before its closure, the studio was best known for creating engaging, choice-driven adventure games across a wide variety of popular franchises, including The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Borderlands, and more.

As part of the studio's shutdown, it was forced to pull some of its most popular games from Steam, including the entirety of the aforementioned The Walking Dead adventure series. Obviously, anyone who already owned the games

Bottom line: The Nokia 2.3 seems like a pretty sweet deal for the less demanding smartphone user or someone looking to keep a backup phone. The main highlight of the newer model is the inclusion of dual-cameras on the back, while the rest of the hardware continues Nokia's trend of making meaningful compromises aimed at selling to the budget-conscious consumer.

The Nokia 2.3 packs several hardware upgrades over its predecessor , including a bigger 6.2-inch 1570 x 72

In context: One of the biggest misconceptions about cloud computing is that companies pick a single cloud computing platform and then stick with it for all their cloud computing efforts. As new research from TECHnalysis Research points out, today’s businesses are using a multiplicity of cloud providers and cloud types, and are putting different workloads in different places, often for different reasons.

In last week’s column (see “New research shows it's a hybrid and multi-cloud world”), I described the overall purpose

Why it matters: It’s almost an understatement to say that Netflix’s The Witcher has been a success. Now, we know just how many customers watched the show. The streaming service said 76 million member households “chose to watch” the fantasy in its first four weeks of launch, putting it on track to be the company’s most successful debut show ever.

There is, however, a caveat to go with that number. In a letter Netflix sent to shareholders, it uses the term

Bottom line: Attach the moniker “gaming” to virtually anything and it suddenly becomes more expensive by proxy. Fortunately, that’s not the case with SteelSeries’ latest peripherals despite still catering to the gaming community.

It starts with the new Rival 3 , a wired gaming mouse packing SteelSeries’ TrueMove Core sensor that affords 1-to-1 tracking from 100 to 8,500 CPI (counts per inch). This right-handed pointer is constructed of ABS plastic with a matte finish,

In a nutshell: If you have not watched the first season of the Netflix Original Altered Carbon, now is the time. The dystopian cyberpunk thriller is worth the binge, and Season 2 is coming next month.

Two years ago, we reported on a strange booth that was set up at CES 2018 by a company called Psychasec. The company claimed to manufacture full-body replacements for humans, prototypes of which were on display.

Of course, the company was fake, and the booth was simply a

In context: Autonomous vehicle technology is on the rise, and numerous companies have reached major milestones in this industry. Waymo has begun a limited rollout of its completely driverless ride-hailing service, and Tesla vehicles continue to get impressive (but buggy) new self-driving features every year.

Now, UK-based self-driving tech R&D organization Capri Mobility is working on an autonomous vehicle experiment of its own. Yesterday, Capri began offering South Gloucestershire and Bristol residents the opportunity to ride in their "driverless
