With only a month until release day, there’s a new story trailer for Shadow of the Erdtree, and the Elden Ring lore hounds have their work cut out for them.
FromSoftware has been slowly teasing Shadow of the Erdtree and its story beats ever since the gameplay trailer was released back in February. All we knew then was the DLC would take place in the Land of Shadow and feature a bunch of new horrors straight from the slightly warped imagination of game director...

Microsoft will soon allow businesses and developers to build AI-powered Copilots that can work like virtual employees and perform tasks automatically. Instead of Copilot sitting idle waiting for queries, it will be able to do things like monitor email inboxes and automate a series of tasks or data entry that employees normally have to do manually.
It’s a big change in the behavior of Copilot in what the industry commonly calls AI agents, or the ability for chatbots...

Microsoft announced a new version of its small language model, Phi-3, which can look at images and tell you what’s in them.
Phi-3-vision is a multimodal model — aka it can read both text and images — and is best used on mobile devices. Microsoft says Phi-3-vision, now available on preview, is a 4.2 billion parameter model (parameters refer to how complex a model is and how much of its training it understands) that can do general visual reasoning tasks...

Microsoft’s new Surface Laptop could be the most impressive laptop the company has ever made. It has a modern chassis with thin display bezels and a new Arm-based CPU that might just give Apple laptops a run for their money when it comes to performance. That’s no mean feat, considering Apple’s striking lead since 2020, but we won’t know how it compares until we get a Surface Laptop in hand. That didn’t stop me from diving deep on their specs to see how they...

The Cowboys aren’t just bad these days, they’re inconsequential.
The mystique of the Dallas Cowboys is dead. Heck, unless you’re an old like some of us (myself included), you don’t ever remember the Cowboys being great — just overhyped. It’s gotten so bad that the once-proud denizens of the gridiron, America’s Team, are being totally lapped in success by the likes of the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers, and Dallas Wings, all...
The injured person in the alleged May 6 assault at a Dallas nightclub in which Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was reportedly a suspect has asked police not to file charges, according to police.
The full-frame Cinema Camera 6K is seeing a rare $1,000 price cut, bringing it down to just $1,575 for the camera body.
What goes on in artificial neural networks work is largely a mystery, even to their creators. But researchers from Anthropic have caught a glimpse.

The PGA Championship produced thrilling drama, which led to an increase of television ratings across the board.
Like Xander Schauffele, CBS Sports and ESPN scored significant victories at the PGA Championship this past week.

Which teams will reach the NBA Finals? Our experts make their picks for each conference finals matchup and each series' MVP.
Nintendo’s new Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake is unique in that it has a nearly unlimited capacity to make you smile, but it’ll similarly bum you the hell out.
That has nothing to do with the quality of either the original GameCube game or its new gussied-up Switch remake, though. Nintendo has tastefully and respectfully resurrected a beloved Mario RPG for the second time in six months, with gorgeous HD visuals, a revamped toe-tapping soundtrack, the same humor and wit that...
Sonos has finally ventured away from the realm of speakers.
Not very far, though. On Tuesday, the company launched its first-ever pair of headphones, Sonos Ace. The headphones are exactly what you'd expect from Sonos: elegantly designed, with a focus on sound quality and connectivity with the rest of the company's ecosystem of devices.
