Whats a dragon game? Thats any game thats got dragons in it typically, a game that prominently features dragons. While some dragons in dragon games are less prominent, they are no less important. Dragon games can be a part of any genre, be it the ever challenging Elden Ring or the cozy life simulator Little Dragons Caf. Whatever sort of game youre looking to play, theres probably a dragon game that fits within that genre.And Im an expert at this because, of course, I love dragons. A couple years ago, I read the nine books in Naomi Noviks Temeraire series, and I was hooked. Id never been a big fantasy reader until then. I set off the following year largely reading only books that featured dragons. Eventually, the obsession seeped into the video games I played, too. As for this list, there is one obvious choice of a dragon game, one that most people likely know: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, so Im leaving it off. But do know, its an all-timer for dragons and, if for some reason you havent played it yet, give it a try. But if youre looking for something different, something that maybe you havent heard of or hadnt realized was a dragon game, keep reading.

Replacing a smartphone every two years is partially why billions of phones go into landfills each year. If stacked flat atop one another, that many handsets would reach farther than the ISS. But weve become accustomed to that 24-month time frame because wireless carriers often push an upgrade on biennial contracts, and many smaller phone makers only offer software support for two years. But now, with longer software commitments from major manufacturers, along with growing right-to-repair legislation, many newer phones can stay in our pockets for closer to seven trips around the sun. Heres how you can extend the lifespan of your smartphone and avoid shelling out hundreds before its absolutely necessary.How to make your smartphone last longerAmy Skorheim for EngadgetUse a caseIts a flashy move to carry a naked phone around, but the chances of a handset making it through a tumble go up dramatically when you employ extra protection. We recommend a few in our guide to iPhone cases. In my family, weve been happy with Mous cases. Though weve never subjected our phones to the brutality seen in the companys ads, I can say that these cases have seen my partners aging Samsung Galaxy through some pretty gnarly spills and I credit the cases for getting my iPhone 11 to 2025 in working condition.Take care of the built-in battery (or use a power bank)Since a phones battery is often the first thing to show signs of age, its worth it to follow recommendations for extending its lifespan. Lithium-ion batteries dont perform well in heat and you should avoid charging them if its hotter than 95 degrees doing so can degrade the battery quickly and even cause them to malfunction. Theyll tolerate cold weather better, but can get sluggish when things get too chilly.If youre storing a phone for a while, its best to do so with the battery at half charge, rather than full or empty. In fact, Li-ion cells last longer when they spend less time being either completely discharged or full thats why battery optimization features in iPhones and Pixel phones delay overnight charging to 100 percent until about an hour before you typically grab your mobile. And while its sometimes necessary to charge a battery quickly, a slower charging method when speed isnt critical will put less stress on the ionic components and help extend the cells life.But over time, any battery will eventually wear down. The cell powering my iPhone 11 can make it through a typical day, but if Im traveling, relying heavily on navigation or using the phone as a hotspot, itll need a top-off before bedtime. I have a slew of them on hand after testing for our best power banks guide and the two I grab most often are the Nimble Champ Pro, because its crazy fast and the Anker Prime because its massive and I know itll always have a charge to lend.If you really want to give your phone a new lease on life, a new internal battery could be the ticket. For Pixel phones, you can go through Googles official channel for either a walk-in or mail-in repair, you can look for an authorized repair partner or you can pick the DIY route with iFixits Pixel repair kits and instructions.For iPhones, you can start with Apples official page, go through Best Buy or other authorized third-parties, or try iFixits methods. Samsung also has an in-house option but both iFixit and Best Buy ended their repair relationships with Samsung in 2024. Depending where you go and the model of your phone, the price for a new battery and installation will likely run you between $60 and $150 still far less than ditching your handset for something brand new.Clean up your phones storageMost advice on how to declutter your phone and make it run faster centers on one thing: freeing up space. Your phones OS will likely have suggestions for clearing up storage space, like automatically offloading unused apps or deleting year-old messages. You can also do things manually by deleting any apps you dont use. Next, consider the photos and videos youre storing locally and either opt to pay for cloud storage or transfer the files to a computer or an external backup device. You can also consider getting rid of any music and movies you may have downloaded for offline use, and deleting old messages and large attachments. A good rule is to keep your storage at around 80 percent capacity. Once youve deleted and transferred what you can, restart your phone to give it a chance to clear up its temporary memory.Why you can (and should) extend the life of your smartphonePhoto by Sam Rutherford/EngadgetThe e-waste stream grows each year and doesn't do great things for human or planetary health. Smartphone companies are offering better and more consistent trade-in deals, but even some electronic recycling has its faults. Simply hanging onto a device instead of opting for a new one is the most efficient way of cutting back on a phone's environmental impact plus it'll save you money.While every giant phone maker would like you to believe that upgrading annually is critical, its worth noting that new generations of phones often bear strong resemblance to the prior years model. Engadget editors see this time and again with the countless smartphones they review theres a new button, a few new AI tricks, but the technology generally doesnt leap forward each year to create something wildly different than what came before.With only minor hardware upgrades, the more exciting new features come via over-the-air software updates. Starting with the release of the Pixel 8 in 2023, Google promised security and software updates for a full seven years. So those who buy a Pixel 9 in 2025 could still be using the same phone in 2032. Samsungs Galaxy S25 from this January has the same length of promised support. Apple hasnt made the same pledge, but when the launch of iOS 18 last year cut support for the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, both models had enjoyed around seven years of updates from launch.When Apple launched the iPhone 15, the company doubled its estimation for the handsets battery life saying a handset should retain 80 percent of the original full charge after 1,000 cycles. And Apple said the placement of the larger battery in the iPhone 16 makes replacing it easier. Overall, battery technology has improved in capacity over the years, but longevity hasnt gone up across the board, as a study by PhoneArena makes clear.More advancements in battery life spans may be on the horizon particularly as the EV industry grows, which also relies on lithium-ion cells. For now, declining battery health is usually the most noticeable issue affecting older phones. In 2023, the European Council of the European Union adopted new guidelines for battery-powered devices, which includes a mandate to allow consumers to easily remove and replace batteries. That wont go into effect until 2027, and there will be plenty of interpretation as to what easily means. But EU mandates are what made Apple finally ditch Lightning ports on iPhones in favor of USB-C, so this could eventually be a step towards (once again) having smartphones with swappable batteries.Even in the US, legislation could compel companies to make repair a better option. Right-to-repair bills were passed in 2022 in New York, Minnesota and other states. California has the strongest rule, and it even garnered Apples support. And Google has voiced its support for Oregons law. Some of these laws have already gone into effect, and will require manufacturers to do things like providing repair tools and documentation, and selling components for a number of years after the last new model for higher priced devices.Currently, a number of phones have decent repairability scores, according to the online repair community iFixit (The FairPhone 5 gets the highest marks.) It even appears Californias law is having an impact, considering that iFixit gave the iPhone 14 a repair score of 4, but the iPhone 15 and 16 gets a 7. Unfortunately, the scores for Googles Pixel 9 phones went down compared to previous models. Until more companies start making it easier to fix things ourselves, authorized repair is an option, while self-repair remains an option for the more industrious.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/how-to-make-your-smartphone-last-longer-120014817.html?src=rss

Ford says it's done sending out all the complimentary NACS adapters that 140,000 EV customers in the US had reserved. The automaker announced in 2023 that it was working with Tesla to give Ford EV owners access to tens of thousands of Superchargers across the US and Canada. In 2024, Ford's EVs became the first non-Tesla vehicles to be able to access Superchargers. However, since Ford EVs come with Combined Charging System (CCS) ports, they need North American Charging System adapters to be able to plug into Supercharger stations.The automaker gave new and current members of it BlueOval Charge Network in other words, everyone who purchased it EVs complimentary NACS adapters until June 30, 2024. Now, it has finished sending out the free adapters to everyone who asked for it. Those who need one will have to purchase the Ford Fast Charging Adapter, which "unlocks access to a vast network of DC fast charging stations using the North American Charging Standard (NACS)," for $200. Ford was planning to make the switch to built-in NACS ports for this year's EV models, but it's now unclear if that will happen, seeing as the 2025 model Mustang Mach-E still comes with a CCS port.Ford has also announced that its BlueOval Charge Network now includes 180,000 chargers at more than 50,000 locations, which translates to a 40 percent increase from the beginning of 2024. Like other automakers making the switch to electric, Ford is making an effort to expand charging availability. The hope is that wider access to chargers can help assuage range anxiety and encourage more people to buy electric.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/ford-says-its-done-sending-out-all-its-complimentary-nacs-charging-adapters-120020255.html?src=rss

Here's what we think is coming from Motorola during the next few months, including color options.

PlayStation's lead console architect Mark Cerny has said PS5 Pro games will soon feature "something very similar" to FSR 4.

President Trumps address to a joint session of Congress last week is still making headlines, including celebrating cracking down on immigration; declaring male and female are the only two genders recognized by the U.S. government; loudly ending diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts; implementing aggressive tariffs; and more. And one of the most shocking things to witness again in his address was a public display of bullying: President Trump calling Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, Pocahontas. Its a nickname he has used to repeatedly mock her, once Warren shared publicly that she has Native American heritage.Do you want to keep it going for another five years? Yeah, yeah, you would say. Pocahontas says yes, Trump said, in response to the Ukraine war.When asked by the media how she felt about being called Pocahontas by President Trump, Warren said: I actually hit a nerve when I applauded the United Statess support of Ukrainian patriots. If that hits a nerve for Trump, then its worth sitting through the rest of that speech.What happened to Warren is a reminder that bullying doesnt just happen behind closed doors. Bullying can happen on a public stage. It can also happen in our workplaces, in the hallway, in meetings, and at events for all to witness and see. If you are the target of public bullying in your workplace, here are some ways to consider responding.Respond with humorIn some cases, when being bullied in public, you may choose to respond with humor. This can sometimes deflect the situation, disarm and catch the bully off guard. Using humor can shift focus away from the hurtful comment that was made in the moment.Everyone but Mita can reach those mugs, a former colleague would tease me about my height at work, and how I couldnt reach the mugs on the top shelf of the kitchen. They would make jabs about my height, why my lunch smelled so funny, how I spoke English so well, and a host of other bullying comments. On days that I would have the energy, I would respond with humor:My playful, fun response: I may be short, but I am packed full of fun!My embracing the bullying as a compliment response: I love being short. They usually dont see me coming.My sarcastic response: Yes, being short is a real struggle. Somedays, I dont know how I manage to get through the day.You can respond with humor to take control back from the situation. You can try to be playful, turn the bullying comment into a compliment, or just give a sarcastic response. And sometimes, when we dont have the energy to respond or cant think of the right response, this tactic might not be the right one at the moment. And if this colleague has a track record of bullying publicly, you can be prepared in the future for what you think they might say and use humor to diffuse and deflect.Let them know its not acceptableYou can also let them know calmly and firmly that this bullying comment is not okay. By speaking up, you can be clear on your boundaries without escalating things further in the moment.You can say the following:I dont appreciate that comment.I dont find that funny.Thats not cool/ Thats not okay.They might come back and say, Oh its just a joke, or, Stop being so sensitive, or, Wow, dont take things so seriously to try and shut you down again. Dont get baited into raising your voice or getting distracted by saying something you might regret. You dont want to respond with an unkind comment in the heat of the moment.More than likely, they may respond to make you seem like you are in the wrong for setting boundaries. They dont want to take accountability for their actions or apologize. They want to discredit and dismiss your feelings.In return, you can say again firmly, I dont appreciate that comment. Its not okay, and remove yourself from the situation if possible, or move on to speak to another colleague.Say nothing in the momentThere have been times when I was bullied in public at work where using humor or letting the individual know their behavior wasnt acceptable wouldnt have worked. Sometimes the individual bullying us in public can be junior or can be a peer. Other times, the individual bullying us can be more senior. Power dynamics in our workplaces can impact our ability to speak up in the moment. We can be afraid of retaliation during or after the incident and how it might impact our careers.If it feels unsafe or not productive for you to speak up in the moment, it may be best to say nothing. Staying quiet, walking away, or doing your best to remove yourself from the bully may be the best option. In my experience, bullies can thrive on attention and engagement. By not reacting, you may be indicating that you arent bothered by what happened. They may get bored of targeting you if they dont see any type of response, and unfortunately move onto another target in the workplace.Ask a colleague to interveneIf the bullying in public has happened before, share with a colleague you trust. Explain to them as many of the facts as you can of things that have happened before. They can be on the alert to help intervene in the future. They can be the one to say:Hey, thats not funny. Got any better jokes?I dont see anyone else laughing.Thats not cool, you need to stop.A colleague can also help redirect the conversation by offering lets talk about something else or lets focus on something thats more positive. A colleague can also help remove you from the situation; you can walk away together or distance yourself from the bully.Finally, a colleague can go with you to HR to report and document what has been happening, especially if this behavior is persistent and harmful. It may be necessary to do this to protect yourself and others from this behavior. And having a colleague as a witness and someone to support you can make all the difference.Bullying can slowly chip away at your confidence. And when its public, you may feel a swirl of emotions: embarrassment, shame, anger and more. Remember that you can try to intervene on your own, and that can be a heavy burden. Ask for help and let others know whats happening. Put a stop to public bullying not just for yourself, but for others who may be experiencing this harmful and hurtful behavior as well in our workplaces.

As the economist Milton Friedman once said, Only a crisisactual or perceivedproduces real change. Humanity has of course been faced with countless crises, leading to profound and often unexpected change. These crises define and differentiate generations and leave lasting impacts for years to come.In 2020, a crisis that would change everything hit the world seemingly overnight. Everyone remembers where they were the day the world shut down. Offices stood empty. Cars, previously stuck in traffic on daily commutes, sat parked in driveways. Trains and buses ran empty, if at all. The bustle of Times Square turned silent and Broadway went dark. As smog cleared from cities like Los Angeles and Mumbai, people started to see views lost for decades. Billions of meetings switched to virtual platforms. For many people across the globe, work would never be the same again.Even before COVID-19, the rapid rate of transformation in the workplace was extraordinary. In the 1970s there were typewriters, landline phones, and filing cabinets. In the 80s, the fax machine became an office staple. Before long, some lucky people got their hands on a mobile phone. Then, the information superhighway arrived, and with it, email, social media, cloud storage, and collaboration software became the new normal. Desktop technology gave way to mobile working. Digital natives were the majority; digital nomads were on the rise. There were apps for everything. Flexible working and work-life balance became hot topics.But, in many ways, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, a devastating period for so many people across the globe, has been remarkable. It has compressed the impact equivalent to all the changes of the previous half a century into a few short years and it has been to the great benefit of both companies and their people.The office as a digital constructWith rapid advancements in technology, where work is conducted is no longer confined to a singular place. The workplace is now a digital construct. The office is on the cloud, and people are increasingly linked by technology. All the information, resources, and connectivity that billions of us need to do our jobs are distilled into a single portable device and people can now use an app to find their workplacefor the hour, the day, or the week.This shift is radically transforming how and where people work, and a companys head office no longer has the monopoly on where work can take place. As a result, hybrid and more flexible ways of working have become more common for a significant proportion of white-collar workers, with companies enabling their employees to work across multiple locations.Stanford University Professor Nicholas Blooms groundbreaking research has shown that hybrid working is very profitable for firms. His compelling findings have highlighted that hybrid working has no negative effect on productivity while significantly reducing costly employee turnover. This is why some 80% of Fortune 500 companies embrace hybrid working for managers and professionals.The office isnt deadOver the past few months, there has been a lot of news about more rigid Return-to-Office (RTO) mandates and how theyve been gaining significant momentum amongst companies of all sizes.The trend is unmistakably taking place with companies prioritizing time for their teams to collaborate in person on a regular basis. However, where and how people work is actually far more nuanced than a binary choice between working from a traditional city center office or from home.Theres a third option: working out of a local coworking space or office, near to home, with other like-minded people. In fact, most white-collar employees are working from a combination of all three of these locations and this is evident in our network at IWG, with our centers in the heart of the suburbs and local communities showing the strongest increase in demand from across the network, while cities also continue to thrive.Better for the bottom line and better for the planetA very clear advantage of todays hybrid revolution is a reduction in costs, for businesses and employees alike. Independent research from Global Workplace Analytics reveals that reducing their traditional property footprint by adopting hybrid working enables companies to realize average annual savings per employee of $11,000.The financial implications of more localized work are also sizable for employees. Research conducted by IWG and Development Economics has shown that workers could save as much as $30,000 per year if they switch from commuting to a city center daily to working locally four days a week. This is particularly relevant for younger, lower-paid workers facing the challenging combination of student debt and the stubbornly high cost of living.Even these wins fade into insignificance when compared with the savings that reduced commuting will make to the environmental price our planet is paying for those who are able to reduce their commutes and work closer to home. Businesses can also cut energy usage by a fifth (19%) because of the more efficient use of office space or by providing teams access to flexible workspace.Furthermore, International Workplace Group research conducted with sustainable development consultancy Arup has shown that a hybrid working model that combines a local flex space and home produces fewer carbon emissions than any other permutation of working. The study found that, in cities in both the U.S. and the U.K., the reduction in emissions brought by this model could be as high as 90% in the U.S. (Atlanta) and 80% in the U.K. (Glasgow).The productivity gains of hybrid working and tackling proximity biasThe recent shift to more flexible ways of working has resulted in some instances of what academics describe as proximity bias. This is when business leaders and senior managers treat workers who are physically closer to them more favorably, stemming in some instances from an outdated assumption that those who work remotely are less productive than those who work from a companys headquarters. All business leaders should remember that what your people are doing and how youre managing them are by far the most important factors in performance and productivity.If work isnt being carried out effectively, its not the fault of the location. Its generally the fault of management not making job expectations clear or setting good KPIs. Those problems will be the same whether your teams are sitting 10 feet away from you, or a local office or even 1,000 miles away.A number of convincing studiesincluding those conducted by Professor Bloommhave shown productivity increases (3% to 4%) and reduced quit rates (35%) as a hallmark of hybrid working. International Workplace Groups own research with business leaders backs up these findings. In a recent survey of more than 500 business leaders in the U.S. and the U.K., more than 6 in 10 cite improved productivity as one of the key business benefits, while 7 in 10 CEOs highlight that employee happiness has increased through the adoption of hybrid working.Looking to the futureWhen nearly 20 years ago, I first made a comment about the rise of hybrid and more flexible ways of working, I could have never predicted the precise forces that would bring it about. In years to come the COVID-19 pandemic will rightfully be seen as having one of the most transformative impacts on the world of work as any other event in the past 100 years. It compressed the impact equivalent to all the changes of the previous half a century into a few short years.We are now seeing companies rapidly learn how to manage dispersed workforces using the latest technology and new management techniques while improving the happiness and the work-life balance of their teams.I can safely say that the office will always play a crucial role in corporate life. Headquarters have evolved to become hubs of creativity and connection, with intentional spaces and activities to maximize collaboration. At the same time, companies are increasingly empowering their teams to stay productive by working closer to home in workspaces near where people actually live. These permanent shifts are providing incredible momentum for the flexible workspace sector. We are seeing the most rapid growth we have experienced in our 35 years of operations. All of this confirms the reality. The office isnt deadand never will beits just moved to a much more convenient place.
