Amazon Prime members, we’ve got some news that will be music to your ears, Dolby Atmos is coming to Amazon Prime Video service starting on August 31. (For European readers, Dolby Atmos is offered in Germany via a service called Maxdome.) Being the third service to offer Atmos is a huge accomplishment, and one that moves the needle forward ever-so-slightly for Dolby Atmos as the default audio format. We were looking forward to streaming Amazon’s latest series, but Dolby Atmos support is icing on

All we’ve known is that Google Fuchsia will be a search-focused and privacy aware platform optimized for voice control. So, in the Google Fuchsia team’s ideal world, your phone, laptop and smart speaker would all be running the same OS – it’d even look the same. Neither Google CEO Sundar Pichai nor Chrome and Android lead Hiroshi Lockheimer have signed off on any kind of road map for Google Fuchsia, today’s report suggests. If Google Fuchsia is going to take over as a singular, united platform s

Apple’s 2018 MacBook Pros feature a new membrane under the keyboard, and now we have confirmation on just what the film is intended to do. An excerpt from the 2018 MacBook Pro Service Readiness Guide issued to Canadian and European partners states:Keyboard and KeycapsThe keyboard has a membrane under the keycaps to prevent debris from entering the butterfly mechanism. Dust devilsiFixit conducted a teardown of the 2018 MacBook Pros just a few days ago, uncovering the thin, silicone membrane that

Passengers in driverless cars can experience motion sickness for a variety of reasons. The disconnect between what passengers inside can see and what they experience can contribute to motion sickness. We’ve taken a look at a few of the ways tech companies and researchers are addressing motion sickness, and quizzed our motion sickness expert about whether these ideas might work. Driving can help to mitigate the effects of motion sickness – but in autonomous vehicles no one gets to drive. Apple ha

The service, which goes by the name of DC Universe, will serve a few different functions that parallel other platforms. The first is that it will be a video streaming service similar to Netflix. On top of being a streaming service, DC Universe will also live up to its namesake by offering a Comixology-style library of comics for its users as well as an encyclopedia for the times you come across a character you’ve never seen before. There’s going to be tons of new content every day.”Justice Leagu

Microsoft Studios and in-house developer 343 Industries aren’t interested in the hottest trend in multiplayer gaming right now – ‘battle royale’ – when it comes to Halo Infinite , the upcoming sixth sequel. The ‘battle royale’ style of multiplayer shooters has taken the online gaming world by storm in the last two years, with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and later Epic Games’s Fortnite leading that charge. Through the 343 Industries Social Stream on Microsoft’s Mixer platform, series lead write

Mention autonomous cars to a lot of people and they automatically seem to lump them into the same category as electric vehicles. Driving is also a living for many; like for professional rally driver Mads Østberg from the Citroën Total Abu Dhabi World Rally Team, who were also at FOS. The Citroen C3 was a full-on, bang-up-to-date rally car. But could an autonomous 1965 Ford Mustang without a driver instill the same feeling of faith in me as Mads did earlier when we went around the rally circuit?

This is one of the easiest ways to speed up macOS 10.13. Restart your MacWhile this may sound obvious, your Mac can easily become sluggish due to the sheer number of running processors, so restarting your Mac can help speed up macOS 10.13.

You can then either use the default settings or tweak them from the New Connection window. During an active connection the client also gives you the option to transfer files to and from the remote server and exchange instant messages. Furthermore, TigerVNC enables you to share the clipboard with the remote VNC server and the application also makes it possible to choose the remote session screen size. You’ll have to manually enter the IP address of the remote VNC server since the client cannot de

Corsair is introducing a new H100i Pro AIO liquid-cooler to round out its new line of RGB-lit CPU coolers. While Corsair announced the 280mm H115i Pro and 360mm H150i Pro coolers at CES 2018, the H100i Pro is a smaller 240mm cooler designed to fit in smaller cases.

As with all of Corsair’s recent products, users will be able to change RGB lighting profiles and fine

HMD Global has launched the Nokia X5, a cut-price Android phone that apes the look of the iPhone X. Update: We’ve spoken to HMD Global, which has told us ‘At this time, there are no plans to bring the X5 to other markets’. That doesn’t mean it’s not coming, as there’s every chance it’ll have a different name and slightly different specs. The bigger question is whether this phone will be coming to the UK or the rest of the world, and we’ve heard nothing back from HMD Global just yet. However, rum

Many of the technology world’s leading minds have come together to pledge not to use artificial intelligence (AI) technology to develop weapons. Despite fears that AI will one day rise up and humanity, many of the technology world’s leading minds have agreed to only use the platform for good. The Lethal Autonomous Weapons Pledge from the Future of Life Institute counts the likes of Elon Musk and DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassibis among its hundreds of signatories, along with 172 organisations in

In the battle between the graphics giants there appears to be one area where AMD can claim a definitive win over Nvidia: driver stability. A few months ago AMD commissioned QA Consultants, an independent software assurance firm, to test the stability of its latest graphics card drivers in comparison to Nvidia’s drivers. Testing, testingQA Consultants used CRASH from Microsoft’s Windows HLK to perform 12 days of 24-hour stress tests to evaluate the stability of the graphics drivers. As the firm n

So far we haven’t been certain on the new name for the watch, with Samsung Gear S4 being the originally rumored name. Now – thanks to a listing from the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) – we’re almost certain it’s called the Samsung Galaxy Watch. Whenever a company submits a product to the FCC, it has to provide an image of the device to show where the ID number will be placed and in this diagram the watch is emblazoned with the name Samsung Galaxy Watch on the rear. It’s not necessari

There’s a good chance your smartphone’s screen is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass, as that, or another form of tough cover glass, is basically the only thing giving it the slightest chance of surviving a fall. But next year’s phones could be far more durable, as Corning has just announced Gorilla Glass 6. Apparently to achieve this Gorilla Glass 6 uses an entirely new glass composition with significantly higher levels of compression than Gorilla Glass 5. So it’s possible that phones like th

Jumping into a virtual reality world can be a mind-blowing and immersive experience. AMD, Microsoft, Nvidia, Valve and Oculus have made the preliminary steps for a new cable spec called VirtualLink. As you’d expect, being designed for virtual reality, it’s also low-latency in terms of data transfer speeds. While HTC Vive-supporting Valve is onboard, you’ll note that HTC itself has not joined the alliance as yet. Either way, we’re another step closer to a VR experience that won’t get you all caug

The LG V40 ThinQ release date will be in early October, with a launch the month before, if the latest rumors surrounding the phone are to be believed. It does mean that the V40 ThinQ could well clash with the release of the iPhone XI, which will also provide tricky competition for the firm. A confusing cocktailThe dates are slightly later than the August launch and September release of the LG V30 , we did see the V30S ThinQ land in March, followed by the V35 ThinQ in May – so LG does need to put
