After Samsung Health, the Wearable app could be getting its biggest redesign yet

Samsung is redesigning its Galaxy Wearable app to improve user experience with a new interface and enhanced functionality. The app will transition from a black interface to soft blue and purple gradients, organized into three main sections: Watch Faces, Home, and Settings. The Home tab will display the connected Galaxy Watch's image, battery level, and shortcuts for frequently adjusted settings. The watch face browser will show the entire watch with the selected face for better assessment. The Settings menu will have a refined appearance with simpler icons and reorganized options for quicker access. New features include AI-generated Tiles for personalized information aggregation and a raise-to-talk function for the Gemini voice assistant. Health monitoring upgrades will introduce a Daily Cardio Load feature for training recommendations and a Vitals feature to track overnight health metrics. Additionally, a Sound Exposure feature will monitor daily noise levels, and outdoor-focused tools are being developed for Samsung's rugged Ultra watches.

Sally Beaumont, voice actor in Old Skies and The Séance of Blake Manor, extols the virtues of narrative singleplayer games ‘You can have lots of them in your PC toolbelt’

Sally Beaumont began her gaming journey with Leisure Suit Larry and was inspired to pursue voice acting after playing The Curse of Monkey Island. Her portfolio includes titles like Harold Halibut, The Excavation of Hob's Barrow, Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader, and she is the lead voice in the upcoming Old Skies. Currently, she is playing The Séance of Blake Manor and enjoys revisiting Nelly Cootalot. Beaumont has spent the most hours on Old Skies, using it to ground herself in her role, while Two Point Hospital is her most-played game outside of her work. She does not have a game she would never uninstall, as she prefers narrative-driven games with endings. Her essential non-gaming software is GoldWave, an audio editing tool. Beaumont describes her desktop as chaotic, with some organization but overall disarray.

After upsetting everyone by threatening to ruin Diablo 4’s most powerful loot in its next season, Blizzard has decided that maybe it wasn’t such a good idea after all

Blizzard Entertainment has updated the loot system for Diablo 4 in response to community feedback, aiming to preserve the uniqueness of items while allowing for more flexible random attributes. The changes include a broader utility for items, such as allowing a fire damage-enhancing item for a sorceress to also roll stats that complement cold skills. Additionally, the classification of Mythic Uniques will now extend to any Unique item with a purple tooltip, indicating items with maxed-out stats upon drop or crafting. These adjustments are set to enhance the loot experience and will be implemented in season 14, launching on June 30.

Running Windows NT On The Nintendo Gamecube

The Nintendo GameCube can run Windows NT, a mid-1990s workstation operating system, due to a PowerPC version developed by Microsoft. A group of contributors adapted the OS for the GameCube, making it available on GitHub, and it also works on the Wii and Wii U’s vWii mode. Users need to use various controller-entry methods for text input, as the GameCube lacks a dedicated keyboard, although some rare controllers with integrated keyboards exist. A video tutorial on YouTube details the installation process.
