To become a hunter in Solo Leveling, an individual must first manifest magical abilities or undergo a process of awakening before their rank evaluation and receiving an official license. Our protagonist, Sung Jin-Woo, was able to awaken his abilities as an E-rank hunter, but many are curious to find out whether his younger sister can also awaken and become a hunter in Solo Leveling.

Netflixs Devil May Cry series is less than a month away, and if the new trailer is any indication, its certainly set to live up to the spirit of the video games. Netflix released a new trailer Tuesday, which gave us our longest look yet at the series and maybe even a hint at what the story might be. As you might expect, the trailer itself is mostly focused on action. There are plenty of extremely sick shots of Dante killing demons with both his signature sword and his dual pistols though it doesnt actually look like hes using Ebony and Ivory in the trailer. Of course, all of this is also set to Last Resort by Papa Roach, which gives the trailer exactly the right flood of early-2000s nostalgia it needs.But, beyond the trailers flashy action, theres also a few hints of plot in the trailer as well. It seems that White Rabbit, a character first introduced in the Devil May Cry 3 manga, is the main antagonist of the show, something that was hinted at in previous trailers but not officially revealed. It also seems like the White Rabbit may, at least briefly, be in possession of Dantes Perfect Amulet, and the trailer also includes a Vergil reveal, which should give Dante plenty to contend with through the shows eight episode first season. Devil May Cry will arrive on Netflix on April 3.

The standing desk a favorite for those transitioning into more remote or hybrid positions, delineating the space between home and work only by a few crucial centimeters. Just as much for the ergonomic enthusiast, standing desks offer just the right height for different times of the day, offering an environmental response to your personal energy levels. Usually form delineates function this type of desk is characterized by two towers on either side, housing the motors or pulley system that bring the desk to the perfect height. Herman Miller responds with the Spout Sit-to-Stand Table, a four-legged fortress of a table designed to withstand any workplace activity with ease.Weve seen them dotting Zoom meetings and the like over the past few years, but the history of the standing desk is far richer. Many writers and thinkers throughout history, including Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens, and Ernest Hemingway, were said to have written standing up, commissioning special desks for this specific purpose. Some feel it spurs creativity, while others prefer to sit while they intellectually digest. For those of us in the middle, the choice is clear: the Spout Sit-to-stand Table makes for seamless transition from one task to another, saving time and energy in the process.Herman Miller has truly thought of everything here, including accessories like a bag hook, cable management, and an integrated storage drawer for your most used possessions. With USB-C ports located on the sides, or integrated into the tabletop, charging is a breeze for you and any other table mates that might need it. An optional privacy screen is reminiscent of Robert Probsts Action Office, a new wave of delineation and privacy taking the American office in a new direction. Thankfully, open concept offices are more in style now, promoting open communication and natural interactions.Spout comes in various color and finish configurations, including tops in Veneer Clear on Ash, Laminate Studio White, and Veneer Walnut, and base finishes in Ultra Black, Nightfall, Studio White, Olive, Glacier, Cocoa, and Canyon. Three sizes are available including 23 x 46, 29 x 58, and 35 x 70.Since 1905, Herman Miller has revolutionized the furniture market with innovative material use and cutting-edge processes, continuing to push the boundaries of what we can expect from a luxury furniture brand. Largely credited with being the father of mid-century design, George Nelson brought in his contemporaries, such as Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard, and Isamu Noguchi, to create some of the most iconic and revered pieces we know of today. Synonymous with modern design, Herman Miller continues to expand our notions of what is expected, and how we can push those boundaries even further as we look toward the future.To learn more about Herman Millers Spout Sit-to-Stand Table, click here.Photography courtesy of Herman Miller.This post contains affiliate links, so if you make a purchase from an affiliate link, we earn a commission.

As evidenced by 2025s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), it is with cautious optimism that I report a shift in how manufacturers and other material brands are now approaching the application of new technologies to their products for the sake of health and wellness. As with any advancement, companies tend to commodify features to capitalize on novelty, but it feels like things are finally turning a corner.Individual brands competing in this arena are figuring out what they do best, where they can improve, and to whom their products will appeal. Kitchen brands like LG and Monogram fashioned incredible and in some cases subversive user experiences to demonstrate new ways to use their appliances. Bathroom brands like Kallista, Kohler, and Laufen leveraged technology to enhance human connection with the elements. And activations from the likes of Emtek and Alkemis educated visitors on how deeply personal things like hardware and paint, respectively, can be. Continue reading to discover nuances of this years showcase and some lessons from the trade.Concept Kitchens Tease of Future IntegrationsArranged and orchestrated with great harmony, SKS (formerly Signature Kitchen Suite) showcased their technological prowess in a highly-evolved Island System Concept that seamlessly integrated cutting-edge cooking, ventilation, and refrigeration modalities. The induction cooktop blended into the countertops subtle finish when not in use. And the hidden downdraft ventilation, which employs SKSs proprietary air curtain technology, could be activated to reveal shelving for spices book-ended by refrigeration compartments within the island.Make Marble Your TouchstoneFrom bathroom fixtures to architectural details, Italian marble has always captivated audiences, but Rosso Levanto and the statuary White Carrara stole the show in a number of places across KBIS.Kallista introduced the Bezel Collection in partnership with Italian manufacturer CRISTINA Rubinetterie and creative industrial design team Busetti Garuti Redaelli. The design marks a noteworthy departure from tradition as the brands first soft square profile. Its form is intricately faceted in the likeness of gems with natural stone adornments assuming the place of traditional metal knobs. Whats more, it was displayed in a room laminated in deep burgundy and oxblood marble.Beyond the utility of access and egress, door knobs are responsible for first impressions before visitors move beyond the threshold. Emtek has tapped the same iconic red colorway for the sense of something substantial in the palm of your hand. Their SELECT Program has folded the very regal Rosso Levanto marble into their production alongside other more modest customization options including wood and terrazzo.Appliances Move to the BathroomLuxury appliance brand Monogram experimented with their technology by taking it beyond traditional applications and perceived uses for placement in new contexts throughout the home. The most outstanding and perhaps compelling vignette, admittedly to me, was their elevated bathing space.This room illustrated how a warming drawer traditionally used for things like heating plates, proofing dough, or keeping entrees at the ideal temperature prior to serving could be repurposed to warm towels or heat other warmable therapy products.Homeowners could complement this with a refrigeration drawer to preserve skin care products and cool depuffing under-eye tools.Dishwashing Tailored to Your NeedsCleanliness is next to godliness, and a hygienic kitchen is important for food safety. But what it means to maintain a tidy countertop and spotless dishes totally depends on your lifestyle. So brands are diversifying as they cater to different types of home chefs, entertainers, and sticklers when it comes to clean-up.SMEG, the wildly popular and instantly iconic Italian home appliance manufacturer, has been gearing up to tackle the super-sized needs that American kitchens demand. In particular, the brand has refined a new line of dishwashers with a top-of-the-line model that caters to every entertainers need: support clips on the dish rack to accommodate pots and pans, oversized bottles, and baking trays; a support rack for smaller items, such as espresso cups; a Flexi-Duo cutlery basket with movable trays; and their WinePro accessory for wine glassware with designated decanter support on the bottom rack.In a delightful contrast, the Chinese home appliance manufacturer FOTILE, has pioneered a dishwashing solution for tight urban spaces and tiny homes as well as some RVs and even select boats. Their 3-in1 In-Sink Dishwasher has a sleek, unassuming design with a surprisingly nimble capacity for place settings without sacrificing on wash quality. Its worth noting that the ergonomic countertop design is good for those who have limited mobility and may not be able to bend to use a traditional machine. Whats more, it can be used as a produce and seafood cleaner for additional food safety.Ventilation is KeyFOTILEs other wellness innovation on display was their FreshBake Electric Range. The brand prides itself on this concept of cooking cleaner and boasts an exclusive filtration system that neutralizes over 90% of harmful gases released when in use. In addition to syncing with external ventilation, it purifies the air within the oven as you cook to break down grease, odors, and VOCs.Bathtubs Make Bold MovesConnoisseurs of time in the tub would argue that a hot bath is best taken in a cast iron vessel I dont disagree. But what if youre looking for something beyond a traditional hot soak? Perhaps your lifestyle and budget allow you to invest in other types of hydrotherapies at home.Premium Swiss bathroom manufacturer Laufen launched their freestanding VAL Luminex Bathtub with integrated LED technology for a bathing experience that now includes a colorful play of light in motion. But the innovation begins with the material itself, debuting a new translucent version of Sentec, a mineral casting material. In terms of functionality, the lighting mechanism features 9 ambient settings, each with 3 lighting scenarios, that can be selected via remote control.Ice Bath by Kohler, in partnership with Dr. Jonathan Leary, founder of Remedy Place social wellness clubs, is an exquisite fusion of moody, minimalist design with self-care at home. If you can, consider ditching the makeshift at-home contraptions and invest in something packed with a competitive amount of wellness tech including a water-management system with UV sanitization and a guided user experience complete with visual cues.Paint That Pulls Pigments From The EarthArchitectural paint is the greatest contributor of microplastics in the ocean with some 1.9 million tons of the substance meandering through our waterways annually, outweighing all other plastic waste streams. Alkemis is the worlds first wellness paint with an inimitable recipe consisting of a clear quartz base, artist-quality crystalline pigments, and earthen raw materials. In addition, the company boasts cradle-to-cradle certification.The duo behind the hues have advanced the paint-making trade from its perceived dependence on synthetics to all-natural formulation, and were invited to participate in the Disruptor Series of TED-style talks for show attendees.Knurling Is on Another LevelIndustrial spaces have some iconic, eye-catching attributes like glass block, steel panels, and exposed structural joinery oftentimes complemented by door and drawer pulls detailed with knurling. But until now, this aesthetic has felt rather one-note. Emtek designer Will Zhang has broadened the trades creative capacity to specify knurled hardware with fresh scales, densities, and runs across the hardware surface.Thumb through KBIS archives here.Photography provided by Design Milk Staff.

Last week, President Trump spoke for an hour and 40 minutes before a joint session of Congress to announce, among other things, that America was back. The nation's backness is too subjective to fact check, but other statements Trump made during the speech are less vibe-centriclike the claim that the U.S. has wasted millions of dollars on transgender mouse research. "Just listen to some of the appalling waste we have already identified," Trump said at the address, before reeling off a laundry list of things the U.S. has supposedly paid for, such as "diversity, equity, and inclusion scholarships in Burma" and "free housing and cars for illegal aliens." He capped off the list with a particularly attention-grabbing line item: According to Trump, the U.S. has spent "$8 million on making mice transgender." "This is real," he added. But is it?Donald Trump says a lot of things, but transgender mouse research isn't a throwaway line. It's important enough to the administration's governing philosophy that prominent Republicans have spread clips decrying "transgender animal studies" on social media, the White House has released a statement on the issue, and this weekend, in an interview with Fox News Maria Bartiromo, Trump said, "Transgender surgery on micehundreds ofI mean the money theyre spending on all of this stuff. The whole things a scam.I have a feeling we're going to be hearing a lot about transgender mice over the next few years, so I thought I'd take a look at Trump's claim and get to the bottom of transgender mouse science.Did Donald Trump mix up "transgenic" with "transgender?"Soon after Trump's speech, many people online claimed that Trump had mixed up the word "transgenic" ("an organism or cell whose genome has been altered by the introduction of one or more foreign DNA sequences from another species by artificial means") and the word "transgender," ("a person whose gender identity does not correspond with the sex registered for them at birth"). Transgenic mice are commonly used in medical research. By altering their DNA, scientists can create a mouse with the specific biologic or biochemical features they'd like to study. As far as we know, mice don't have any concept of their own identities, so they can't technically be transgender. Trump doesn't seem to have been mixing up the words, though. He didn't mean "transgenic." He meant "transgender," as this White House press release clearly states.Did the National Institutes of Health really spend $8 million making mice transgender?Taken at its most basic level, Trump's assertion that we are spending money on "making mice transgender" is false. None of the studies later identified by his administration as wasteful were undertaken with the goal of making mice transgender as Trump suggests, and many people seem to believe.Instead, these studies were aimed at approximating gender-affirming hormone therapies in mice so that we'd have a better idea of how these therapies affect things like HIV vaccine efficiency and breast cancer risk in humans. Are we doing transgender surgery on mice?Trump may not be mixing up transgenic and transgender, but he is wrong when he talks about the U.S. spending money on "transgender surgery on mice." We don't do that. Doctors have been successfully performing gender-affirming surgeries on humans for over 100 years, so there's no need for mice. None of the studies listed on the White House's press release include performing surgeries on mice either. Instead, they all involved injecting animal models with testosterone or estrogen in order to approximate hormone therapies often given as part of gender-affirming care. Had Trump said the U.S. "wasted" $8 million researching the effects of the hormone treatments often given as part of gender-affirming care, it would have been more honest. Why the focus on mice?If the Trump administration legitimately believes scientific research that involves "transgender mice" is wasteful on its face, they have a ton of cutting to do. Controlling the hormone levels of laboratory animal models is common in endocrinology, in studies of everything from menopause, to osteoporosis, to male pattern baldnessbut only studies focused on transgender healthcare were included on Trump's list.

Saving your passwords in your browserlike Chrome or Firefoxprovides an easy way to access logins when you need them on websites, and having a safe place to keep strong, unique passwords is better than, well, not. However, browser password managers aren't necessarily the most secure nor the most convenient for filling password or payment fields in apps, nor do they come with features included with third-party password management tools, like encrypted storage or dark web monitoring.If you're transitioning away from your browser's password manager or simply want to remove credentials you no longer use, here's how to delete saved passwords in the most popular browsers. How to delete saved passwords from ChromeChrome allows you to remove saved passwords one by one or mass delete all data stored in Google Password Manager. To delete individual logins, open your settings via the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the browser window. Select Passwords and Autofill > Google Password Manager. (You can also go through Chrome > Settings > Autofill and passwords > Google Password Manager.) Click the arrow on the credential you want to remove to open the record and select the Delete button. To delete everything at once, select Settings from the Google Password Manager left-hand menu and hit the Delete data button next to Delete all Google Password Manager data followed by Delete on the pop-up message to confirm. (This feature was recently identified by Android Authority as coming soon but seemed to be available already at the time of writing.) Chrome on mobile doesn't have a mass delete button yet, but you can remove individual passwords or select multiple passwords at once. In the Chrome app, hit the three horizontal dots in the bottom nav bar and open Password Manager. Click Edit to select the passwords you want to remove, and click Delete. To turn off password saving, toggle off Offer to save passwords and passkeys in your Google Password Manager settings. How to delete saved passwords from FirefoxTo manage and delete saved passwords on Firefox, tap the three vertical lines to open the menu panel and click Passwords. Select an entry and click Remove to delete it, or click the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner and click Remove All Passwords. On mobile, you can individually delete within the login record or select multiple credentials to delete at once by tapping Edit on the main password list. To disable password saving and management in Firefox, go to Firefox > Preferences/Settings > Privacy & Security and go to the Passwords section. Uncheck Ask to save passwords (or Save Passwords toggle on mobile). How to delete saved passwords from SafariThe process for removing saved passwords from Safari will depend on whether you have macOS Sequoia with the new Apple Passwords app. If you do, passwords can be deleted in the app by selecting the login and going to Edit > Delete either in the record or from the main menu bar. Or select all using Command + click and drag and drop to the Deleted folder. You can view deleted items for 30 days before they are permanently removed. In the mobile app, you can select one or more passwords and hit Delete. Note that Passwords now functions more like a third-party password manager than other browsers. Otherwise, for macOS Sonoma and earlier, go to Safari > Settings > Passwords, sign in with your password or Touch ID, select the website you want to delete the password for, and click Delete Password or Delete Passkey. You can also turn off password saving in the Passwords app under Passwords > Settings > Save passwords. Select Do Not Ask When Signing In from the drop-down menu. How to delete saved passwords from EdgeTo delete saved passwords in Microsoft Edge, go to Settings and more > Settings > Privacy, search, and services.

Sony has used AI to imbue a PlayStation character with the ability to converse with a player, The Verge reports. A source shared a since-deleted video with the publication featuring an AI-powered version of Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West. Engadget viewed the video before it was pulled.In the demo, Aloy can hold a conversation with voice prompts during gameplay, and respond to questions with a synthesized voice and facial movements. It starts with a delay from Aloy, after being asked how they are, followed by the character stating they are "managing alright, just dealing with a sore throat," a weird aside. The technology appears to work both within a controlled demo as well as the entire Horizon Forbidden West game. During gameplay, Aloy answers queries about where they are and what the time is, though Aloy states it's afternoon and hot, rather than a specific time. After the game, Aloy returns to interview mode and gives an overview of what just happened.The creepy bit, at least to me, came when Aloy is prompted to say goodbye to the audience and thank everyone. The character does, but the robotic voice creates an eerie vibe.Sony used a few different models to create this prototype, including GPT-4 and Llama 3 for powering decision making and conversation, along with OpenAI's Whisper allows for speech-to-text. In the demo, Sony reportedly said it is using its own Emotional Voice Synthesis (EVS) system and Mockingbird technology for speech generation and audio to face animation, two technologies that the company hasn't talked about much yet publicly.NVIDIA and Microsoft have been working on similar technology. The former has used ACE, its suite of technology for enlivening game characters with AI, to create AI-powered conversations for NPCs. Engadgets senior editor, Devindra Hardawar, was far from impressed, stating in January, that seeing several NVIDIA ACE demos back-to-back made me genuinely sick to my stomach.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/sony-demos-an-ai-powered-playstation-character-133052902.html?src=rss

Lena Raine, who composed most of the music for the beloved indie game Celeste, has released a concept album for Earthblade. Extremely OK Games announced in 2022 that it was developing Earthblade as its next project after Celeste, but it ultimately cancelled the project in January this year. Raine wrote in the description of EARTHBLADE ~ Across the Bounds of Fate that she cobbled together "every bit of music [she'd] written for the game to the point of its cancellation in order to tell [her] own version of it." While there's no game to dictate the tracks' sequence for the album, Raine said she arranged them "into the emotional arc of their progression, much like [she] would for any soundtrack release."The composer cited older animation and film as inspiration for the album, such as the synths and live strings in Joe Hisaishis score for Nausica of the Valley of the Wind, as well as Yoko Kanno's use of saxophones and percussives for Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. In addition to Celeste, Raine also wrote music for the soundtracks of Minecraft and Guild Wars 2.Earthblade was supposed to be a 2D exploration-action game, wherein you play as Nvoa, an "enigmatic child of Fate" who's returning to Earth. "Noel and Ibegan to reflect on how the game has felt for us to work on day-to-day, and realized that it has been a struggle for a long time," studio director Maddy Thorson said when Extremely OK cancelled the game. Programmer Noel Berry and Thorson parted ways with Extremely OK co-founder Pedro Medeiros last year, but Thorson said in her announcement of Earthblade's cancellation that Medeiros and the team for his new project "aren't the enemy."You can now purchase the album for $7 from Bandcamp.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/lena-raine-released-a-soundtrack-for-celeste-studios-cancelled-follow-up-game-earthblade-120029888.html?src=rss
