|
The two chatbots stand at the forefront of AI-enhanced web search |
The rise of generative AI means that the days of Google’s undisputed internet search dominance may be coming to an end. The main difference is that where Google spits out a list of links in response to web searches, new AI-powered tools such as ChatGPT and Perplexity AI offer direct answers in a more conversational tone. Digital Trends has taken a close look at both chatbots to see how they differ, and which might work best for you. This considered analysis looks at pricing and tiers, the strong points of each, and the factual accuracy of the responses ... |

Apple’s plan for a giant foldable iPad sounds ridiculously exciting
|
The foldable device could use an 18.8-inch flexible panel |
Apple is developing a large, foldable iPad, according to prominent Apple tipster Mark Gurman. Writing in his most recent Power On newsletter, Gurman said the tech giant is working on “a giant iPad that unfolds into the size of two iPad Pros side by side.” The biggest challenge had reportedly been eliminating the crease in the middle of the flexible screen, though it appears that Apple engineers have pretty overcome it, with the prototype having “a nearly invisible crease.” The company has reportedly been experimenting with the concept for a while now, and it could hit the shelves around 2028 ... |

You Asked: best dark-room TVs, Dolby Vision gaming desires, and more |
Digital Trends answers readers' home theater questions |
On the latest episode of You Asked: Is there a way to force Dolby Vision onto the PlayStation 5? Do you need an internet connection to use newer Sony TVs? When will Samsung's Tizen update finally happen? And what is the best dark-room TV? Regarding the ideal TV for a totally dark room, Digital Trends’ home theater expert Caleb Denison points out that in such an environment, you’ll be more sensitive to the blooming or halo caused by the backlight in an LCD-based TV bleeding through.

Kraven the Hunter bombs with $11 million opening weekend |
It's the worst debut for Sony’s universe of Marvel characters |
As expected, Moana 2 won the weekend box office, raking in $26.6 million domestically on its third weekend. Wicked, which has been showing in theaters for a month, was close behind, earning $22.5 million. But Kraven the Hunter, the sixth film in Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man Universe, managed just $11 million, well down from the predicted $20 million to $25 million. It's a big blow for Sony, which reportedly spent more than $100 million on making it. The movie has been widely panned by critics, although Digital Trends’ David Caballero kind of enjoyed it ... |
