Fans of co-op beat-em-ups and fictional bass players who kind of suck as human beings might want to mark March 3 on their calendars. Thats when Scott Pilgrim EX is set to hit PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam. Developer and publisher Tribute Games announced the release date in a new trailer, which also revealed two more playable characters: Matthew Patel (a member of the League of Evil Exes) and Robot-01, a creation of the Katayanagi Twins. One more fighter will be unveiled in the coming weeks. Tribute worked with Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee OMalley on an original storyline for the game. After Scotts bandmates in Sex Bob-omb are kidnapped and demons descend on Toronto, Scott and Ramona Flowers set out to save the day with some unexpected allies. Anamanaguchi are making new music for the game, after providing the soundtrack for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game way back when. Im a fan of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and I dug Tribute's last two games, Marvel Cosmic Invasion and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenge. So it's safe to say I'll be trying out Scott Pilgrim EX in a few weeks.

Last year fans of Ted Lasso received the good news that the show would be returning for a fourth season, despite having referred to its third season as its "final" one. Now Apple TV has shared some still images and further confirmation that production is underway.
As first shared by The A.V. Club, this latest batch of still images depicts the eponymous coach back in action, this time coaching a womens soccer team. A description of the upcoming season shared with the outlet reads, In season four, Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division womens football team. Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.
The images also feature returning cast members such as Hannah Waddingham, who plays Greyhounds owner Rebecca Welton, and Annette Badland, who plays pub owner Mae Green. Also shown are newcomers Grant Feely as Ted's son and Tanya Reynolds as an assistant coach.
Apple shared that the show is returning this summer, but no specific date has been announced.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/streaming/apple-tv-offers-first-look-at-ted-lasso-season-4-141538177.html?src=rss
LinkedIn has long been a platform for showing off professional accomplishments. Now, the company is leaning into the rise of vibe coding by allowing users to show off their proficiency with various AI coding tools directly on their profiles.The company is partnering with Replit, Lovabl, Descript and Relay.app on the feature and is working on integrations with fellow Microsoft-owned GitHub as well as Zapier. LinkedIn has always allowed users to add various skills and certifications to their profiles. But what makes the latest update a bit different is that users aren't self-reporting their own qualifications. Instead, LinkedIn is allowing the companies behind the AI tools to assess an individual's relative skill and assign a level of proficiency that goes directly to their profile. For example, AI app maker Lovabl could award someone a "bronze" in "vibe coding," while the platform Replit uses numerical levels and Relay.app may determine that someone is an "intermediate" level "AI Agent Builder," according to screenshots shared by LinkedIn. These levels should dynamically update as people get more experience using the relevant tools, according to LinkedIn. Lovabl's vibe coding rating system.LinkedInOf course, the update also comes at a time when companies have used these same kinds of AI tools to lay off thousands of workers. So while there's may be value in showing off your vibe coding skills, there are still many workers who likely aren't as excited about ceding more ground to AI. When I asked, LinkedIn's head of career products Pat Whealan about this he said that AI-specific skills are an increasingly important signal to recruiters and the latest update will make it easier for them to assess candidates' skills. But he added that the intention isn't to make AI-specific skills the sole focus. "This is less about replacing any of those other existing signals, and more about showing new ways that people are doing work," he tells Engadget. "And how do we give a verifiable signal to both hirers and other people looking at their profile, that they actually are using these tools on a regular basis."This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/linkedin-will-let-you-show-off-your-vibe-coding-expertise-140000776.html?src=rss
Snaps augmented reality glasses business will now be its own entity, with the company establishing Specs Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary. It will enable Snap to more easily secure investors and partnerships for its wearables, as well as to grow Specs into a distinct brand while running it within Snap Inc. As The Information reported in mid-2025, Snap was thinking of ways to raise outside money for its AR glasses to be able to better compete with Meta, which has a lot more money to spend on development. It was already considering spinning off the business back then.Specs are launching at an important time, as artificial intelligence transforms the way that we use our computers, the company said in its announcement. The glasses operating system can help you get things done faster based on what they see and what they know about your behaviors. Snap also says that its smartglasses can keep you present in the moment with friends and family unlike phones and computers, since they superimpose digital tools over your view of the real world. In addition, the company believes Specs can help reduce waste over time as its digital tools can replace physical objects, such as manuals and whiteboards. Snap didnt say whether Specs Inc. already has investors lined up, but it is already hiring for over 100 roles around the world. The new subsidiary is expected to launch Snap's next generation of standalone AR glasses sometime this year. Company CEO Evan Spiegel previously said that the model will be lighter, have a much smaller form factor and have more capabilities than its older smartglasses, which are mostly developer-focused.

Last summer, Google announced that Android 16 would include a desktop interface built from Samsung DeX, a mirroring and phone integration tool for PC. Thanks to a (now permissions-restricted) bug report discovered on Google's Issue Tracker, we have what is almost certainly a first look at the Android-on-desktop project, codenamed Aluminium OS.
First spotted by 9to5Google, the bug report was about Chrome incognito tabs and included two screen recordings. The description said the recordings were from an HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook. The video shows a 'chrome://version/' page where one can see the OS listed as Android 16. 9to5Google also said the bug report listed "ALOS" as the operating system, understood to stand for Aluminium OS, along with a corresponding build number that matches the one seen in the screen recordings.
The UI looks like a clear blend of ChromeOS and Android aesthetics, with an Android-style taskbar across the bottom and status bar across the top, with familiar battery and Wi-Fi indicators. The videos also show the Play Store, windowed apps, split-screen multitasking and a version of Chrome with an extensions button, which is currently only available on the desktop version. Google has yet to comment on the leak, so users may have to wait for future Android 16 updates for a more in-depth look at the upcoming desktop experience.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/computing/our-first-look-at-googles-android-for-pc-interface-leaks-in-a-bug-report-133006008.html?src=rss
The UKs Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is recommending measures to give publishers more control over how their content is used in Googles AI overviews. The aim is to provide a fairer deal for content publishers, particularly news organizations, the CMAs chief executive Sarah Cardell said in a press release. With Google accounting for more than 90 percent of search inquiries in the UK, the CMA recently designated the company with strategic market status for search under the Digital Market Act. That allows the regulator to apply conduct requirements on Google to promote competition and avoid antitrust issues.With those new powers, the CMA proposed a number of measures today. The first is a set of controls that would allow publishers to opt out of their content being used for features like AI Overviews or to train AI models. Google would also need to properly attribute publisher content. Another measure would require Google to apply fair search result rankings for businesses, with an effective process for raising and investigating issues. Google would also need to provide a choice screen for alternative search options on Android mobile and Chrome browsers. These targeted and proportionate actions would give UK businesses and consumers more choice and control over how they interact with Googles search services as well as unlocking greater opportunities for innovation across the UK tech sector and broader economy, Cardell said in a statement.In response, Google wrote that its exploring updates to let sites specifically opt out of Search generative AI features. The aim, it said, is to keep search helpful for people who want information quickly while allowing publishers to better manage content. Any new controls need to avoid breaking Search in a way that leads to a fragmented or confusing experience for people, the company wrote, adding that its optimistic it can meet the CMAs requirements.When its new designation was announced in October 2025, Google complained that some of the proposed interventions would inhibit UK innovation and growth. Citing a study, the company said that similar measures imposed by the European Union produced negative results that have cost businesses $114 billion.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/uk-wants-to-give-web-publishers-a-fairer-deal-with-googles-ai-overviews-132742850.html?src=rss
Apple has been leaning harder on services for several years now. That part of the business brought in tens of billions of dollars in revenue last year alone, and the company says 2025 was a record year. With Apple Creator Studio, Apple is extending that strategy further into professional creative software.
Apple Creator Studio is a new subscription bundle that packages several of the companys pro apps under a single monthly or yearly fee. It launches on January 28 and includes a one-month free trial. The key shift is that some of these apps are now subscription-only on iPad, even as Apple continues to offer one-time purchases on the Mac albeit with slightly different feature offerings. Heres everything you need to know about Apple Creator Studio and the programs it includes.
What Apple Creator Studio includes
At its core, Apple Creator Studio gives subscribers access to Apples professional video, music and imaging apps. The bundle includes Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor and MainStage. Pixelmator Pro (which Apple acquired in late 2024) is also coming to iPad for the first time, with a touch-optimized interface and Apple Pencil support.
A Creator Studio subscription also unlocks premium content and features inside Apples productivity apps. Keynote, Pages and Numbers remain free, but subscribers get access to premium templates and themes, plus a new Content Hub with Apple-curated photos, graphics and illustrations. Similar paid features are coming to Freeform later this year, the company says.
Apple is also using the bundle to introduce new intelligence features across several apps. In Final Cut Pro, the new Beat Detection feature can analyze a music track and show a beat grid so you can line edits up to the rhythm. The app is also getting tools like transcript search and visual search designed to make it easier to find moments across footage.
Logic Pro is gaining new AI-assisted Session Players and workflow features on Mac and iPad. Pixelmator Pro continues to rely heavily on machine learning for tasks like background removal, image repair and image upscaling. Note that some of these features require an Apple Intelligence-capable device.
Which devices are supported
Apple Creator Studio works across multiple Apple platforms, though not every app is available everywhere.
On the Mac, subscribers get access to all six apps: Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor and MainStage.
On the iPad, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro and Pixelmator Pro are included. Motion, Compressor and MainStage remain Mac-only.
On the iPhone, Creator Studio does not include full versions of Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro or Pixelmator Pro. Instead, it unlocks premium features and content inside Keynote, Pages and Numbers, and eventually Freeform.
Apple says the best experience is on macOS 26, iPadOS 26 and iOS 26 or later, with individual app requirements varying by device and chip.

Pricing and subscription options
Apple Creator Studio costs $12.99 per month or $129 per year, and new subscribers can try the service free for one month. College students and educators get a steep discount: the education plan costs $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year, and it also comes with a one-month free trial.
A standard subscription can be shared with up to five other people using Family Sharing, allowing six users total. Education subscriptions are limited to individual use and cannot be shared. Apple is also offering three free months of Creator Studio to customers who purchase a qualifying new Mac or iPad aroun launch.
But Creator Studio isnt the only way you can access most of these apps. Apple says all of the major apps included in Creator Studio will continue to be available as one-time purchases on the Mac App Store.
Final Cut Pro remains priced at $299.99, Logic Pro at $199.99, Pixelmator Pro at $49.99, Motion at $49.99, Compressor at $49.99 and MainStage at $29.99. Users who already own these apps can keep using them and re-download them from the App Store as usual.
On the iPad, however, things are different. Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro and Pixelmator Pro for iPad are only available through the Creator Studio subscription. There is no standalone purchase option for those apps on iPadOS.
Keynote, Pages, Numbers and Freeform remain free for everyone to download and use. Apple says those apps will continue receiving updates, including the upcoming visual design changes tied to iOS 26 and iPadOS 26.
Without a Creator Studio subscription, you can still create, edit and collaborate in those apps. What you will not get are the paid templates, Content Hub assets and certain intelligence features.
What happens to your projects if you cancel
Apple says projects and content you create with an active subscription remain licensed as part of your original work.
Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro and Pixelmator Pro projects remain on your devices and can be copied or shared elsewhere. But you will need an active subscription to open or edit projects in those paid apps.
Keynote, Pages, Numbers and Freeform documents remain editable without a subscription. However, you will not be able to make new edits that rely on paid features once your subscription ends.
Other information about the new bundle
Apple Creator Studio also comes with some immediate trade-offs. Alongside the bundle, Apple confirmed that the older Pixelmator app for iPhone and iPad, now described as Pixelmator Classic, will no longer receive updates. Apple says it will remain functional, but development is shifting to Pixelmator Pro, including the new iPad version included with Creator Studio.
But don't expect the standalone versions of the apps to maintain feature parity with their Creator Studio counterparts. Per Apple's FAQ, "The Apple Creator Studio version of Pixelmator Pro includes access to the Warp Tool feature," which implies that feature isn't present on the standalone version.
More broadly, the bundle puts Apple more directly in competition with Adobe and other subscription-focused creative platforms, especially for people who are looking for a lower monthly entry point. At the same time, Apple is keeping one-time purchases on the table for Mac users, even as iPad access moves behind a subscription.
Apple Creator Studio will be available January 28. Whether it makes sense will likely come down to which device you work on and whether you would otherwise pay upfront for one or more of Apples pro apps.
