It's been 20 years since Spotify first graced our phone screens, and the music streaming app has come leaps and bounds since. The brand celebrated its 20th anniversary just over a week ago, and as a 'thank you for listening,' it dropped a free gift for those on Premium and Free plans. Your Party of the Year(s) popped up on our phones and we were able to see stats even Spotify Wrapped didn't reveal. From your first song to the total minutes listened since you opened your account, Spotify's free update was full of surprises.

The Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro Max are the first Soundcore earbuds seriously capable of challenging Bose, Sony, Samsung, and Apple to a duel. These flagship buds boast impressive AI features, powered by Soundcore’s proprietary AI chip, fantastic sound quality, and sweet battery life. However, the plasticky, cheap-looking finish doesn’t quite cut it for $229, which is the only thing holding these buds back.

POV: Ubisoft just made me want to replay one of the best Assassin’s Creed games ever ⚓️🏴‍☠️ I got hands-on with Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced for a previrw, and this could be the pirate comeback fans have been waiting for. Set during the golden age of piracy, you once again play as Edward Kenway sailing through the West Indies, but now with modern visuals, updated systems and a world that somehow feels even bigger 🏴‍☠️🌊 BUT… there’s one big question mark that can only be answered with time 👀 Are you planning to replay this version of Black Flag in 2026? 🤔

I went eyes-on with Google’s radical Android Auto redesign. From 3D Immersive Navigation to agentic Gemini car controls, it completely beats Apple CarPlay. tomsguide.com/vehicle-tech/i…

"The Mandalorian and Grogu" is undeniably one of the biggest movies of the summer. As the first "Star Wars" movie since 2019, it's undeniably one of the biggest movies of the year. So chances are that even with early reviews coming in mixed — Rotten Tomatoes has it a 60% fresh on the Tomatometer with over 130 reviews, and I gave it a 2.5 out of 5 stars in our official "The Mandalorian and Grogu" review — you're still going to go see it in theaters. Even if you don't, you'll almost certainly see it once it's eventually on Disney+. Naturally, you might want to know something about the movie before seeing it. There are no Skywalkers in this saga (well, not in this chapter), and there are plenty of new faces in the trailers we've seen so far. If you have never watched the three seasons of "The Mandalorian," chances are you don't know anyone in this movie besides Grogu, because how could you not know Baby Yoda? Luckily for you, I recently had a chance to sit down with someone who knows Baby Yoda intimately. Jonny Coyne, who some of you might know from any number of TV or movie roles (for me, it's as Allfather D'Aronique from the AMC comic book adaptation "Preacher"), is starring in "The Mandalorian and Grogu" as the mysterious Lord Janu, and he's now the latest villain in the Star Wars galaxy. Little is known about this Imperial remnant, whom we only saw briefly in holographic form in "The Mandalorian" season 3 as part of Moff Gideon's (Giancarlo Esposito) Shadow Council.
