Amazon just launched its largest Echo Show yet

 

The 21-inch device costs $400 and is available from today

 

Amazon has just unveiled its largest Echo Show yet, sporting a 21-inch display. It’s also upgraded the existing Echo Show 15, which up until now had the largest display in the company's expanding lineup of Alexa-enabled smart displays.

The new Echo Show 21 and refreshed Echo Show 15 offer the best audio yet of any of Amazon's smart displays, with room adaption technology and double the bass. The auto-framing feature for video calls has also been improved with more than double the field of view and 65% more zoom than the original Echo Show 15, ensuring you’ll always be in the frame while moving about the room as you chat to friends or family ...

This is how OnlyOffice Docs changes the document co-editing experience

 

What defines an office suite? Is it the word processor? The other various document editing tools? I would argue that it’s what you can achieve with that platform. Does it offer rich collaboration features? Will the tool integrate with other necessary services like API or WOPI? Ultimately a tool is only as powerful as what you can achieve with it. So, an office suite’s capabilities and compatibility are at the top of the priority list. Allow me to introduce OnlyOffice Docs, an open-source online office suite that allows you to create, edit, and co-edit from anywhere, anytime ...

I’ve worn the Apple Watch Series 10 for months. Here are 5 things to know before buying

 

The Apple Watch Series 10 launched to rave reviews. A couple of months later, how's it holding up?

 

Digital Trends’ mobile expert Joe Maring has been wearing the Apple Watch Series 10 since its launch a couple of months ago, giving him ample time to make a measured assessment on what it’s really like.

While many of the observations from his early review still stand, Maring has since found a number of details worth sharing. He found, for example, that he uses the new external speaker far less than he thought he would, reaching instead for his iPhone and its better speaker when it comes to listening to content such as podcasts. Maring also comments on the watch’s Jet Black finish, its light and thin body, and Apple Watch bands ...

Audible’s audiobooks are now included with Amazon Music Unlimited

 

Audible’s collection includes more than 1 million of 'the most popular and enduring audiobooks in the world'

 

With Spotify in its sights, Amazon Music Unlimited now offers subscribers in the U.S., U.K., and Canada access to Audible‘s entire catalog of audiobooks from within the Amazon Music app. Individual plan subscribers can listen to one free audiobook at a time — of any length — per month, and there’s no end date for finishing. Audiobook fans who want more content can subscribe to a full Audible membership or buy titles à la carte directly within the dedicated Audible app.

It's less straightforward for those with an Amazon Music Unlimited family plan, as only the primary account holder of this plan can listen to the included one audiobook per month ...

Watch The Studio teaser trailer from Apple TV+

 

The upcoming comedy stars Seth Rogen as a struggling Hollywood executive

 

In the first teaser trailer for The Studio, Seth Rogen's Matt Remick learns that running a movie studio is “just so much harder than I thought it was going to be,” with on-set disasters, behind-the-scenes fights, and unruly actors causing him to wonder if his dream job might actually end up destroying him.

Rogen is the star, writer, director, and executive producer of the upcoming 10-episode series. The Studio marks Rogen’s second comedy series with Apple TV+ as he currently stars in Platonic alongside Rose Byrne. The first two episodes of The Studio land on Apple TV+ on March 26. One new episode will then premiere every Wednesday through May 21 ...

Devs investigating why their games look bad on the PS5 Pro

 

Gamers with the pricey new console will want the issues sorted soon

 

Awesome visuals are one of the key selling points of Sony’s new PlayStation 5 Pro console, but in the weeks since its release, some players have been complaining about glitches with several titles, including Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and the Silent Hill 2 remake, Polygon reported.

Developers are finally beginning to respond. “We’re aware of issues with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on PlayStation 5 Pro and are actively investigating,” the official EA Star Wars account said on X this week. Silent Hill 2 developer Bloober Team said simply: “We’re working on it!” Some have suggested the problem lies with the PS5 Pro’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology ...
