• Best Mods For Immersion In Fallout: New Vegas
    gamerant.com
    Fallout: New Vegas was the second 3D Fallout game, continuing on from elements explored in the isometric Fallout 2. It is set in the Mojave wasteland, a mostly barren desert that houses the Hoover Dam, a real-world hydroelectric plant. Fallout: New Vegas allows the player to see the military branch of the NCR, far away from their established power structure in Shady Sands, as they come to blows with The Legion over the Hoover Dam.

  • You will believe a Doduo can fly in this Pokmon riff on Planet Earth
    www.polygon.com
    A couple of years ago, we covered a really well-made video that documented Pokmon as if they were real animals in a National Geographic-like documentary. Since then, the genre has really taken off on YouTube. A recent upload is all about Doduo and its too good not to share.The fifth video in EnlargedKais Pokarth series follows a flock of Doduo as they migrate across a massive desert in search of cooler climes. When a solitary Doduo strays from the safety of the colony, Pokarth is there to dramatize how it might protect itself from predators, combining hard data from the series in-game Pokdex with a great extrapolative imagination.As any Pokmon fan worth their salt should know, Doduo makes up for its lack of wings with powerful legs and a second head. Sadly, the strange birds speed is removed from the equation when a pair of predatory Sandile ambushes it, forcing the Doduo to resort to extraordinary measures to escape. Im torn between describing exactly what happens and letting the video speak for itself, but I think spoiler-free is the best way to experience this absurd animation.Before setting their sights on Doduo, EnlargedKai previously produced Pokarth installments about Clodsire, Magikarp, Spheal, and Wailord, all of which took great care in showcasing what makes each Pokmon unique and injected a bit of humor to ensure the portrayals werent totally dry and straightforward. I have enjoyed every one, especially the slow, bouncy blows traded by two male Clodsire fighting over a mate. But I said it before and Ill say it again: Koffing, please.

  • How to find and cancel your unused subscriptions
    www.engadget.com
    If your subscriptions are getting out of control, youre not alone. I feel it too: I pay for news sites, video streaming, music services, online magazines, my cats special food, charities and lots more and thats not including the stuff Im forgetting about. Companies love the subscription model because its a reliable revenue stream. On the consumer side, auto-payments are certainly more convenient than sitting down with a checkbook to pay bills each month like a homemaker in the olden times. But in exchange for that convenience, everything you signed up for slowly and silently carves away at your bank account each month, possibly without you noticing.Its true that signing up for something is far easier than canceling thats by design. The FTC passed a rule that went into effect in January of 2025 requiring companies to make cancelling a subscription as easy as it was to sign up for it. It wont go into effect until May 2025, and telecom companies immediately fired back with a lawsuit, so whether the rule will actually be enforced is anyones guess. That means it will still take some effort to get rid of the services you dont use, but there are a couple of tactics that might make your efforts more effective. Heres our advice on finding and cancelling your unneeded subscriptions.First things first: Find out what subscriptions you haveBefore putting this post together, I had no idea how many subscriptions I was paying for. Surprises included a coding game for my kid (that he no longer plays) and a British streaming app Id gotten for one show (that I finished nearly a year ago). You, too, may not know what subscriptions are stealthily subtracting dollars from your accounts. One of the most comprehensive ways to see what youre paying for is to look at your bank and credit card transactions, generating a search that includes every transaction in the previous full month. It may be a lot to scroll through, but each monthly subscription will appear at least once in that time frame.Annual subscriptions can be tricker to track down. I was able to find most by searching for introductory emails, since most services send out an initial message confirming a new subscription. You can use the advanced search with the words welcome or thank you in the subject field, plus variations on the words annual subscribing and membership in the general or keyword search fields. You should get a decent idea of the things youve signed up for, but may have to wade through lots of promotional emails before you find the services you actually subscribed to. It could save you some time over searching through a year of bank statements.Sometimes its helpful to simply see a list of common subscriptions people pay for (and often forget about). Here are a few:Entertainment YouTube Premium Amazon Prime Video (or Prime in general) Netflix Disney+ Pandora Premium Twitch Subscriber CrunchyrollGaming PlayStation Plus Xbox Game Pass Nintendo Switch OnlineWork/Productivity LinkedIn Premium Adobe Creative Cloud Microsoft 365 ToDo EvernoteDating Tinder Grindr Bumble Hinge RayaFood Hello Fresh Green Chef Blue Apron Doordash DashPass Uber Eats Uber One Monthly coffee, hot sauce and jerky boxesHow to cancel subscriptionsFor the most part, the way you sign up for a subscription is the way youll cancel it. If you signed up for Strava or Minecraft Realms from your iOS device, youll need to cancel it through your Apple account. If you signed up for Netflix through its website, youll cancel there. Sometimes even the device you use matters. For example, if you signed up for Paramount Plus via your Fire TV Stick, youll go through your TV to cancel instead of through the Amazon mobile app.Once youve determined where to go, the cancellation processes will nearly always involve logging in to your account and navigating to your profile, then your account settings so you can view and end your subscription.Here are steps to cancel a few of the most popular subs.From the Apple App Store or Google Play StoreWhen you pay for a subscription through an app store, the transaction will likely be listed as a payment to either Apple or Google, so its harder to see what youre paying for using the banking suggestion above. Heres how to see what youve subscribed to using the two major app marketplaces, plus how to cancel.How to cancel subscriptions through Apples App Store1.

Sure, you may not want to watch everything on there, but the ratio of really good stuff to so-so fluff is far better than on most other services. But once youve gotten through Severance and Silo and Slow Horses, you may decide to save yourself the $10 per month.Apple TV + requires an Apple ID to sign up, so the easiest way to cancel is through the Settings app on your Apple device.

If you just want to go back to the free version, here's how.You can change which tier you pay for through the app. But to cancel, youll need to go through a web browser. You can technically cancel through the app, but that involves deleting your account and all its data.

YouTube TV is no different. After starting at $35 per month at launch, it went up nearly every year to finally land at $83 with the latest price hike in December of 2024. If thats edging too close to cable pricing, you can always cancel (after all, not requiring a contract is still one of streamings major advantages). And YouTube TV actually lets you cancel through the app.On an Android device:1. Open the YouTube TV app.2. Tap your profile circle at the top right.3. Tap on Settings, then tap on Membership.4. Under your membership details, tap Manage.5. Click on Cancel Membership and follow the prompts.Via a web browser:1. Head to YouTubeTV.2. Log in and click your profile circle in the top right.3. Tap on Settings, then tap on Membership.4. Under your membership details, tap on Manage next to Base Plan.5. Click on Cancel Membership and follow the prompts.Apps that can helpSome finance apps will track and manage your subscriptions for you. We looked into the bigger ones to see how they can help. One of our previous recommendations, Mint, shut down, but ones from Experian and Monarch Money have cropped up to take its pace. We tried out Rocket Money to see how the process works and detailed it below.Just note that these apps cost money to handle subscription cancellation on your behalf and adding another paid service to your life can feel absurd when youre trying to do the opposite. Youll also need to give the apps your banking information and your data may, in turn, be sold or shared with third parties for marketing.A couple of other apps we tried dont ask for your banking info. Instead you manually enter your subscription details. Thats certainly more private, but might not be saving you much effort in the long run.Rocket MoneyOwned by the same company as Rocket Mortgages, Rocket Money is a finance app that connects with your bank account and offers to help you budget and track your overall spending, in addition to managing your subscriptions. Youll pay for the app using a sliding scale from $3 to $12 per month for the premium version, which includes automated cancellation and other features. To access the free version at sign-up, move the slider to the left until you reach $0.Once youve linked your account, navigating to the Recurring tab gives you an overview of your subscriptions. I liked that you can access this using either the mobile or desktop app. After linking my accounts, it reminded me of an upcoming renewal for a magazine I dont read and hosting fees for a website I no longer need. Canceling both of those would save me nearly $200 in a year. Unfortunately, my monthly Apple One payment and the Max access that I pay for through my Samsung TV didnt show up as recurring subscriptions. That could be due to how my bank lists the transaction, but Id like to have seen those on the list, too.Next to each transaction is a three dot menu, which includes an option to cancel this for me for Premium subscribers. Click and youll see contact methods to handle it yourself or a button to have Rocket Money do it. After you provide your username and password for the service, youll get an email confirmation that tells you the process could take up to ten days to complete. When I had Rocket Money cancel Paramount Plus for me, I got an email later that night saying the cancellation was complete.While its not a magic program that zaps your subscriptions away, Rocket Money could save you a few steps. Seeing (most of) your recurring charges together is also helpful for staying on top of things. Its up to you whether the Premium charge (and taking on another subscription) is worth the cancellation service.Reminder appsThere are other apps, like Bobby (iOS) and Tilla (Android), that dont connect with your bank account. Instead, you enter the details of the subscriptions you already have and add new ones as you go. The apps will remind you about upcoming renewals and let you quickly see what youre paying for, all in one place. Both are free to use but limit the number of subscriptions you can track until you upgrade, which costs a flat $4 for Bobby and $2 for Tilla. I feel like if you possess the diligence to keep apps like these up to date, you could just as easily use a spreadsheet or native apps like Apple or Googles Reminders, though these are more colorful.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/apps/how-to-find-and-cancel-your-unused-subscriptions-130036314.html?src=rss

  • Apple's M4 Mac mini drops to a new record-low price
    www.engadget.com
    Apples recently-released M4 Mac mini has dropped to a new record-low price. You can scoop one up for $529 via Amazon, which is a discount of 12 percent. This version ships with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Other models are also on sale, as the one with 16GB/512GB now costs $700 and the beefy 24GB/512GB will now set you back $900 instead of $1,000. We called the M4 Mac mini "shockingly small" and "incredibly powerful" in our official review, and that stands today. The chip is fast, which makes sense as it's Apples latest effort, and the smaller design doesnt take up much desk space. That leaves plenty of room for a monitor, mouse and keyboard. We like that these desktops dont go any lower than 16GB of RAM, so any version will excel with music production, light video editing and other creative tasks. For real-deal video editing, you may want to pony up for the extra RAM or go with a model thats been outfitted with the M4 Pro (which arent on sale.) There are front-facing USB-C and headphone ports, which are nice, and plenty more connection options on the rear. On the downside, theres no SD card reader, which is something that many teensy PCs include. The fan can also get pretty loud during heavy workloads.

  • What does the Department of Education do? Questions fly as Trump prepares executive order to dismantle it
    www.fastcompany.com
    President Donald Trump appears to have backed off issuing anexecutive order to dismantle the Department of Education on Thursday, but is expected to do so soon, according to multiple reports, including from the Wall Street Journal and NPR, which have seen a draft version and confirmed the details. The news comes a day after Linda McMahon was installed as the neweducation secretary, following her recent Senate confirmation.Heres what you need to know.What is happening at the Department of Education?Dismantling the department has been a long time coming. In recent months, Trump has attacked it, calling it a big con job, while the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has already slasheddozens of contracts; placed dozens of staffers on administrative leave; targeted itsdiversity programs; and gutted the Institute of Education Sciences, where many employees have been fired or suspended.Trump is all but guaranteed to face legal challenges because only Congress can abolish federal agencies, and the administrations push is just another example of how Trump is trying to cross the boundaries of his actual presidential power.Meanwhile, advocates and congressional leaders have been mounting a pushback campaign, including some Republicans, whose districts rely heavily on federal funding from the Education Department. Educators, along with members of Congress, are also worried about what will happen to the departments billions-of-dollars budget meant for the nations students and schools.So what does the Department of Education do anyway?Simply put, the Department of Education distributes billions of federal dollars to colleges and schools, and manages the federal governments student loan portfolio. It also maintains and regulates vital services for our nations students, guaranteeing an education to low-income, homeless, and disabled kids, per the Associated Press.The department is the smallest cabinet-level agency, with around 4,500 employees. Polls show more than 60% of Americans oppose eliminating it.Interestingly, a majority of public K-12 school funding comes from the states, or locally, with only about 14% coming from federal funds. Universities and colleges, for their part, depend mostly on the departments dollars for student financial aid and research grants, which have also been halted.Trump has tied the funding to his own political agenda, threatening tocut off federal moneyto all institutions that teach what he calls critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content, and favoring those who support his school choice programs and ending teacher tenure.

  • Why weird JD Vance memes have taken over the internet
    www.fastcompany.com
    Ironically enough, a divisive moment in the Oval Office last weekend seems to have brought the entire internet together. When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the White House on February 28, ostensibly to hammer out plans for a peace agreement between his country and Russia, he probably didnt expect to get berated by both Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The ensuing, historically fiery exchange appeared to catch him off guard.Similarly, most people watching the spectacle play out on live TV were probably not expecting Vances role in the meeting to explode into a meteor shower of memes among people of all political stripes. But thats exactly what has happened.Have you said thank you once https://t.co/kCNfr59RAn pic.twitter.com/01mm34xg1u New Liberals (@CNLiberalism) March 1, 2025 Anyone wandering around X at just about any moment this week is bound to come across images of Vances boyish face enhanced to look cartoonishly cherubic. (The surrounding beard adds a perverse dissonance.) The meme pokes fun at how petulant some say Vance came across by getting angry at Zelenskyy for his apparently insufficient gratitude over U.S. aid, which Vance himself had nothing to do with. The archetypal version features an altered Vance sitting smugly in the Oval Office, with the caption: You have to say pwease and tank you, Mistow Zensky. As a result, the word pwease is now so associated with both the Zelenskyy meeting and the meme that followed, some X users now refer to Vance as the pwease guy.The origins of the JD Vance meme actually predate the doomed Zelenskyy meeting by many months. It began last October, when Republican Congressman Mike Collins tweeted a photo of Vance that had been digitally altered in a flattering way. X users noticed the yassified portrait and responded by going in another, decidedly less-flattering direction. With ever-weirder alterations to images of Vances face last fall, the kindling for the pwease meme spread around the firepit of the internet. All it took was Vance going aggro in the Oval Office to light a match underneath it.For every 100 likes I will turn JD Vance into a progressively apple cheeked baby pic.twitter.com/WgGS9IhAfY 7/11 Truther (@DaveMcNamee3000) October 2, 2024 Throughout this past week, the JD Vance meme continued to evolve, branching out into stranger spaces. It now includes pop culture figures such as Pennywise, the clown from It; the Teletubbies; and the oafish village boy holding a lollipop in Shrek Forever After, along with political leaders including Kim Jong Un, but also increasingly esoteric and abstract variations. (Vance as Las Vegass The Sphere, anyone?) However, what may be most strange about the memewhich has gotten so ubiquitous, many now claim to have forgotten what Vances actual face looks likeis its bipartisan appeal.Obviously, left-leaning social media users are into infantilizing the vice president. Not only is it a chance to mock the opposition, but an indirect way to show support for Ukraine in their war with Russia. Its no wonder popular accounts like the anti-Trump media group Meidas Touch and even The Daily Show have gotten in on the action. Less obvious is why Vances supporters are also into it. Polymarket, a MAGA-friendly, Peter Thiel-backed betting platform, has put Vance memes in multiple tweets throughout the weekand many of the vice presidents fans suspect the hyper-online Vance is enjoying his own memedom. (At least one reporters account backs that up.)actually i think its good that people are making me look insane is a very funny way to play this https://t.co/IYHs4Q4hql pic.twitter.com/CJ0eC3NKZW rat king (@MikeIsaac) March 6, 2025 Its unclear exactly why the online right has embraced a meme targeting one of its own. The most generous explanation is that theyre still ebullient from last Novembers victory, and secure enough in their partys current dominance to admit these images are funny. Another possibility is that the 4Chan-bred, meme-savvy faction of Trumps base never much cared for Vanceeither because of his former resistance to Trump or for more disgusting reasonsand are happy to throw him under the bus for the sake of some lulz. Some X users, however, claim their embrace of the JD Vance meme is a way to neutralize the lefts use of it. If Vances supporters are also in on the joke, the logic suggests, they cant also be stung by it. (As when liberals repurposed the Biden-bashing Lets Go, Brandon into the Dark Brandon meme.)While some X denizens seem pleased that the meme is bringing both sides together, others seem to see it as a zero-sum meme war. When the Never Trump conservative PAC, the Lincoln Project, tweeted Weird Vance after Tuesday nights congressional address, one user responded, Its only funny when we do it, and added a slur for good measure.
