The Morning After: Our verdict on the Apple Watch Ultra

<p>Apple’s most expensive Watch yet (if we ignore the Hermes and ceramic distractions of yesteryear) has landed. The Apple Watch Ultra is surprisingly comfortable for its size, and costs less than expected. Not only does it offer many impressive specialized features for outdoor adventurers but it also lasts longer than other Apple Watches. People who don’t dive, hike, bike or run outside regularly might not need to spend the extra cash on the Ultra — the Series 8 is more than capable.&nbsp;</p><figure><img src="[url]https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2022-10/19826d10-4558-11ed-b6ff-7e857aebfa4a" style="height:450;width:675;" alt="TMA" data-uuid="686501f3-9bb2-30d8-91de-978a26313776"><figcaption></figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Engadget</div></figure>[/url]<p>Reviews Editor Cherlynn Low was frustrated by the new button layout but came away thinking that the Apple Watch Ultra may be the ultimate smartwatch.

This is the company that killed its last major GPU project in 2009 and spent the 2010s focusing on weak integrated graphics. However, the Arc A750 offers plenty of power for under $300. It can best NVIDIA's RTX 3060 Ti in some benchmarks and games, making it one of the best deals in the GPU market today. Meanwhile, the Arc 770 excels at 1440p performance and has a decent amount of ray tracing support for a $329 card. We have reservations about long-term support from Intel, however.</p><p><a href="https://www.engadget.com/intel-arc-a750-a770-review-mid-range-gpu-rivals-nvidia-amd-130032507.html https://www.engadget.com/..."><strong>Continue reading.</strong>[/url]</p><p></p><h2><a href="https://www.engadget.com/best-headphones-150030794.html https://www.engadget.com/...">The best wireless headphones for 2022[/url]</h2><h3>And not all of them will break the bank.</h3><a href="https://www.engadget.com/best-headphones-150030794.html https://www.engadget.com/..."><figure><img src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2022-10/19826d11-4558-11ed-97ff-fffa16fd6618" style="height:450;width:675;" alt="TMA" data-uuid="f86a58de-c4a4-3ecb-8ced-e43f7410ade0"><figcaption></figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Engadget</div></figure>[/url]<p>When it comes to wireless headphones, the best combine stellar audio with powerful active noise cancellation (ANC) and other handy tools.

There is a pointer, movable icons and customizable interface colors.

And the company has already discontinued it, most likely due to lackluster sales. As Bloomberg notes, Glow, while highly rated on Amazon, only has a bit over 500 reviews on the website. The device was launched during the peak of the recent pandemic. There’s likely less demand for a specialized video calling device for kids. And maybe they could just use a phone?</p><p><a href="https://www.engadget.com/amazon-discontinue-interactive-glow-video-device-for-kids-094054631.html https://www.engadget.com/..."><strong>Continue reading.</strong>[/url]</p><p></p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><h2><a href="https://www.engadget.com/spotify-harmful-content-podcasts-kinzen-misinformation-154340774.html https://www.engadget.com/...">Spotify's latest acquisition is a company that detects harmful content in podcasts[/url]</h2><h3>It says Kinzen will help 'identify emerging threats on the platform.'</h3><h3></h3><p>Spotify has bought Kinzen, a company that uses machine learning to detect harmful content online. Spotify said that Kinzen will &quot;help us more effectively deliver a safe, enjoyable experience on our platform around the world&quot; and that the company's tech is especially suited to podcasts and other audio formats. Looking for signs of harmful audio content is tricky, particularly since there may be nuances that certain systems and non-native speakers may not pick up on.
