    Marvel Rivals exec teases Legendary skins for everyone
    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games here Over the past four months, NetEase has launched a variety of incredible skins in Marvel Rivals. Some were available for free, letting players earn new cosmetics just by playing, while others were part of the Battle Pass. Although several heroes have yet to receive a Legendary skin, that’s about to change. With Season 2 launching on Friday, NetEase dropped tons of new content, from the amazing Emma Frost to a new map. Although the update was massive, this is just a glimpse of what NetEase has in store. Everyone will get a Legendary skin in Marvel Rivals Danny Koo, the executive producer at Marvel Games, recently unveiled an exciting plan for in-game cosmetics. One of the players requested a Legendary skin for The Punisher on X (formerly Twitter), as this iconic character only has three skins besides a default one, with two of them being recolors. Koo did not reveal anything about The Punisher’s skin, but he did reveal that everyone will get a Legendary skin at some point. “Everyone will have legendary skin. Time will tell,” the Marvel Games executive replied. The skin’s rarity is determined by its design, not the actual rarity. Image by VideoGamer Frank Castle is not the only character who doesn’t have a Legendary skin in Marvel Rivals. Some others, like Psylocke, Black Panther, and Scarlet Witch are in the same boat. While all of these heroes have fantastic cosmetics, it’s important to note that Legendary skins come with extra features, such as special voice effects or unique animations. The rarity of the skin is determined by its design, as Rare skins are mostly recolors, while Epic ones have new character models. Considering that Legendary skins offer even more, it’s no surprise that many players want them. After all, let’s be honest, it’s a shame that Star-Lord doesn’t have a LE-GEN-DARY skin, right?

    Samuel Pellett House // c.1752
    The Samuel Pellett House in Canterbury, Connecticut, dates to the mid-18th century and is an excellent example of a Colonial-era home in this part of the state. Research in the land records suggests that this house may date from the time of Samuel Pellett’s second marriage in 1752 to Hannah Underwood. The couple planted two sycamore trees in front of the house to signify husband and wife but one was lost in the 1938 hurricane while the other survives to this day. According to historians, Sarah Harris Fayerweather, the first Black student at Prudence Crandall’s school nearby, worked as a servant in this house, then owned by Jedediah Shepard. The Pellett House is an excellent example of a Colonial Georgian home in Connecticut, with clapboard siding, center chimney, five-bay facade and small pane sash windows.

    I tried Garmin’s new subscription, and I love that it’s not essential
    Table of Contents Table of Contents Garmin’s new AI is a bit pointless One is a game-changer It’s not for everyone, but that’s great For years I’ve recommended Garmin devices over Fitbit. Why? While Garmin’s devices cost a fair amount more than Fitbit’s, I always saw the additional outlay of a subscription cost as being worth the extra upfront cost to avoid. After all, a fitness device has the potential of lasting a very long time without an upgrade, and Fitbit’s $13 a month fee really starts to build up after a while. But then Garmin did the unthinkable — it added a subscription fee, locking features behind a paywall and personally stabbing me in the back. Recommended Videos Alright, so maybe I’m being a little dramatic. But I was a bit annoyed. And that feeling of annoyance lasted all the way until I got to try the features for myself while testing the Garmin Vivoactive 6, and discovered that some of the features I was convinced would be pointless, are actually pretty good. But even so, it’s not an essential buy — and that’s very good indeed. Related I was, despite my earlier annoyance, I was excited to try out Garmin’s new features. And of all the new features on offer, the one I was most looking forward to using was Garmin’s artifici— sorry, “Active Intelligence”. According to Garmin’s description, its AI will recommend exercises and insights based on my health and physical data. Sounds great! I love insights and being told what to do. Mark Jansen / Digital Trends Mark Jansen / Digital Trends So far it’s told me that, after two bad nights sleeping six hours each, I’m tired and should go to bed earlier. It’s also told me that, at 11am, I still have time to walk some more. Hardly ground-breaking stuff. I can see what they want this feature to achieve. It’s clear Garmin wants this to be your personal pocket cheerleader and coach in one, and with time and more development, it’s possible it might get there. But at the moment, it isn’t saying much me. If it was just a little extra feature Garmin had thrown in, I’d find it a cute little oddity. As a paid product? Like many AI-driven products, it’s a disappointment. Would I want to pay for this? Even at just $7 it’s not much to write home about. Oddly, it’s the other features that I had dismissed that have impressed me. Being able to make changes to a workout while it’s underway is a great addition. It’s only useful for certain activities; it has little use during runs for instance, but it’s excellent when lifting weights. One of my previous frustrations with fitness tracking and weightlifting is that correcting numbers of lifts, or the weight being lifted, can be fiddly. Poking a tiny watch screen isn’t the easiest way to fix a problem, especially during a short rest period, and being able to do it from a phone screen is much better. Plus, your phone’s screen shows the number of lifts, heart rate, and other live stats. If you’re a frequent weightlifter or gym-goer, it’s a reason to consider the subscription. Mark Jansen / Digital Trends Mark Jansen / Digital Trends The others aren’t as compelling, but they definitely fall into the “nice to have” category. Extra challenges and badges are good, but not worth paying for. I’m also not hugely keen on the idea of Garmin’s coaches taking a look at my running training plans. I work from home to avoid people, and I didn’t go to those lengths just to let far fitter people judge my running skills. I had enough of that during school sports days, thanks. The last new feature worth noting is the additions to LiveTrack. Now, when you set out on a run, LiveTrack can automatically ping your chosen contacts. Honestly, I like this feature, but it definitely sticks in the craw that something so safety-based is a paid feature. It feels like something like this should be included for free. Mark Jansen / Digital Trends Probably the best part of these new additions is that they’re all just that: Additions. Nothing has been taken away from you, and everything you enjoyed about Garmin Connect is still available for free. Really, it’s the best way to introduce a paywall. It avoids resentment by taking away features you might used, and subtly tempts you with some fun new toys. Is it tempting enough? This is an early reaction at the very start of my time with the new Vivoactive 6, and my views may well change, but at the moment, I’m going to say no. There are a few instances where it’s stand-out excellent — live stats for weightlifting is an actual game-changer, and a genuine reason to pay $7 a month. But for everything else? It’s hard to justify it for casual runners, swimmers, or gym-goers. More serious athletes will find value here, especially in the coaching and live changes, but personally, it’s best to view it as a fun optional extra, rather than a must-buy. Why does that make me so happy? Because it means that Garmin has successfully kept everything that made Connect so good before the subscription fee. Nothing has been lost, and you only have to gain. And that’s exactly how it should be. Editors’ Recommendations

    US special operators are going all in on drones so that a human never has to make 'first contact' with the enemy
    Special forces are at the forefront of working with drones. US Army photo by Sgt. Benjamin D. Castro 2025-04-12T10:41:01Z Save Saved Read in app This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. Have an account? US special operations forces are working with a lot of different drones. Operators said the speed of technological innovation requires constant learning. Each type of uncrewed system has a different purpose, but the goal is to acquire a lot of it for cheap. FORT BRAGG, North Carolina —video games, and the simulator in front of me looked familiar enough: a handheld controller hooked up to a laptop.Picking up the controller with confidence, I figured my years of gaming would give me an advantage. I was ready to fly my drone through an abandoned city, or so I thought.The controls for movement — up, down, front, back — were extremely sensitive, far more than I expected.I tried flying my drone into an empty, concrete building. I shakily skirted the edge of it and landed on the street. Then I just flew up and down for a bit, crashing a few more times as I went along. Drones swarm overhead at CAPEX. US Army Photo by 1st Lt. Allan Cogan "I'm not very good at this," I said. The US Army special operator who had been attempting to coach me, agreed, telling me that I probably wouldn't make a good drone pilot.The good thing is that I don't need this particular skill, but the soldiers preparing for future fights and modern war need it as much as they do small arms skills and fieldcraft. Drones are fast becoming an unavoidable part of warfare.War is changingThe operator took the controller and effortlessly flew in and out of small windows in buildings. He cut sharp corners and soared through the open air. He made it look easy. It's not.US special forces have been leading the charge on acquiring drones and training with them, working closely with industry partners on what capabilities are needed and then honing the skills required to operate them effectively. Ground drones at CAPEX. Business Insider/Chris Panella At the US Army Special Operations Command's Capabilities Exercise at Fort Bragg in North Carolina last week, drones were everywhere. Small quadcopters, uncrewed ground vehicle systems, robot dogs, loitering munitions, and more were on display.Operators and officials cited a number of reasons as to why uncrewed systems seemed to be such a priority.Ground dronesPointing at one of wheeled drones, Bryan Boyea, the ground robotics capabilities manager with USASOC's robotics division under its force modernization center, said that the goal was to "eliminate first contact ever being a human being."The drone, Boyea noted, allowed operators to extend their eyes and ears on the battlefield.Another, smaller drone — white and flatter to the ground — was nearby. This one, he said, is mostly for reconnaissance and intelligence purposes, gathering information on potential enemies in both urban and subterranean environments instead of a human being or military dog.The drones are among the smaller ground equipment available to special operators, portable so teams can pick them up and carry them around. The bigger one weighs around 30 pounds. Quadcopter drones at CAPEX. Business Insider/Chris Panella QuadcoptersFirst-person-view, or FPV, quadcopters were sitting nearby. These are smaller uncrewed aerial systems, lightweight and used for either intelligence-gathering or dropping smaller payloads.One of the key attributes of these types of drones, operators said, was their adaptability — being able to change the sensors and payloads based on the mission requirements. They're also highly mobile, relatively easy to learn, and — ideally — scalable, meaning operators could use them in swarms.A variety of companies are involved in producing different types of drones, and one operator said an important project is ensuring that the technology can work together with other systems via similar software.Because the technology is developing so quickly, there's often a debate surrounding whether learning drones is an additional duty for operators — or an entirely new job in itself. One Army special forces operator, who requested anonymity for security reasons, said the difference may come down to the type of drone.A small ground drone with limited controls, it's likely that "anybody can pick that up in like 20 seconds," he said. But a quadcopter, for example, something that requires more flight skill and maintenance, "that's a job."

Loitering munitionsSome other uncrewed aerial systems, or UAS, such as UVision's Hero loitering munition and AeroVironment's Switchblade, were on display as well. Loitering munitions are one-way attack drones that loiter in an area before striking a selected target.UVision's Hero has smaller and larger models; the former is easier to transport for forward-deployed operators, while the latter requires a launching platform and is designed for greater ranges.The Switchblade, also a loitering munition, has been used by the US military for over a decade and saw heavy use in conflicts in the Middle East. They're designed to be small, although larger models do exist as well. This technology, much like FPV quadcopters, has been employed extensively in Ukraine. Switchblades at CAPEX. Business Insider/Chris Panella Robot dogsMultiple robot dogs — quadruped ground drones — were also at the CAPEX, including one toting a rifle on its head. One such model was from Ghost Robotics. These drones have been a growing interest for militaries around the world as ways to enhance the reach and reconnaissance of soldiers, as well as keep humans and military dogs out of harm's way.Controlled by an operator, a robot dog's resting position looks, well, like a dog sitting. After it rises, it can move around on its four legs, twist and turn to look around, and run. When the camera at the front of it points in a direction, it does sort of feel like a dog looking up.Operators, who requested anonymity for security reasons, told Business Insider the biggest challenge with all these drones is quickly learning all of the different controls and specifications.Operators said it's becoming a bigger requirement, and it falls in line with SOF's larger shift towards great-power competition and preparation for the possibility of a war with a near-peer or peer-level adversary, a fight that could see prolific drone use, as well as countermeasures like electronic warfare.It's a process bringing in new warfighting technologies, but one operator said "we're very good at integrating and training with the teams to make sure everyone's on the same wavelength when it comes to how we're going to integrate sUAS [small uncrewed aerial systems] and UGVs into the battlefield and onto a team."

    We Keep Coming Up Empty in the Search for Alien Life. Here’s What That Could Mean—and What Comes Next
    By Margherita Bassi Published April 12, 2025 | Comments (0) | In a new study, researchers propose a way forward if we continue to not find extra terrestrial life. © graphic designed with Canva Humans have been pondering the existence of life beyond Earth since ancient times. In the 1900s, scientists began actively searching for proof. Needless to say, we still haven’t found any. Although it’s only been a number of decades and technology is advancing every day, what if we continue to come up empty-handed? In a study published Monday in The Astronomical Journal, an international team of researchers tackled this question by arguing that what we don’t find can still be deeply informative. The study suggests that identifying a certain number of lifeless exoplanets could enable scientists to confidently determine whether life beyond Earth is common or rare. Specifically, the researchers used advanced statistical modeling to demonstrate that if no evidence of life is found in 40 to 80 exoplanets, we can infer that fewer than 10 to 20% of similar planets in the universe host life. While this might not seem that impressive, it would represent an upper limit for the prevalence of potential life beyond Earth—a limit we currently lack. But that said, even 10% of the Milky Way’s planets adds up to at least 10 billion worlds. “This kind of result would be a turning point,” Daniel Angerhausen, lead author of the study and an astrobiologist at ETH Zurich, said in a SETI Institute statement. “Even if we don’t find life, we’ll finally be able to quantify how rare—or common—planets with detectable biosignatures really might be.” Biosignatures are indicators of biological processes and, therefore, potential signs of life as we know it. It’s also worth noting that all planet-like bodies outside of our solar system are technically called exoplanets, whereas planets refer to the eight orbiting our Sun (though this might change soon). Some scientists, however, nevertheless refer to exoplanets as planets for simplicity’s sake. The study’s results are particularly significant in the context of forthcoming missions aimed at investigating biosignatures on Earth-like exoplanets, such as NASA’s Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) and the European-led Large Interferometer for Exoplanets (LIFE). These missions might survey enough exoplanets to reach the kind of conclusion outlined in the study. The big caveat with Angerhausen and his team’s statistical modeling, however, is that it is largely dependent on the accuracy of scientists’ individual observations. Errors such as false negative detections could significantly skew the broader results. Even the possibility of an instrument missing a biosignature would undermine the reliability of claims regarding the prevalence of extraterrestrial life. “It’s not just about how many planets we observe—it’s about how confident we can be in seeing or not seeing what we are searching for,” Angerhausen, who works with the SETI Institute, explained. “If we’re not careful and are overconfident in our abilities to identify life, even a large survey could lead to misleading results.” In other words, upcoming surveys should carefully consider uncertainties and biases in their approach. Ultimately, the researchers underscore the fact that all scientific results—even seemingly disappointing ones—can teach us valuable lessons if we accept uncertainty and pose the right questions.

Text description provided by the architects. A house with "gills" and a jungle in the middle is built on a relatively intricate plot situated in a built-up area on the border of Bratislava. To prevent views from neighboring plots, we designed a house with an envelope that serves as a protective shell against the surroundings. The angled walls surrounding the house's perimeter from the outside create an enclosure, while from the interior, they provide unobstructed views of the garden through strategic placement. We call them "gills."Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The overhangs of the roof are designed to provide natural shading and create a seamless transition between the interior and exterior, creating an intermediate space that functions as an extension of the living area. The deep layout of the house utilizes a bright central atrium as a green core of the house with a wild garden evoking a jungle, around which the main living functions are arranged. The open living space, which includes a living room, kitchen, and dining area, is visually connected to the surrounding garden. From the kitchen's worktop, you can enjoy an uninterrupted view of the tall pine trees growing on the opposite slope, which are so typical of the Záhorie region. Similarly, the bedrooms located on the sides of the house ensure privacy thanks to the angled walls, while still providing an uninterrupted view of the garden.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The passive shading provided by the overhangs of the roof fully replaces other secondary protection against unwanted sunlight in the summer months, while in the winter it allows the interior to be warmed up by the sun. By arranging the spaces around the house respecting the sunlight cycle, the eastern part of the terrace has become an ideal spot for a morning cup of coffee, while the western and southern sides serve as the main terrace with a swimming pool. The horizontal composition of the house is complemented by a pavilion on the roof, featuring a wellness area and a view of the distant Pajštún Castle.Save this picture!Save this picture!
