 Now that iOS 18.1 is available to the masses, Apple's new hearing aid feature is ready for use. The tool is one of three hearing health items the company announced alongside the iPhone 16 in September. Another one of those, the "clinically-validated" hearing test, is an essential part of being able to use the AirPods Pro 2 as a hearing aid. With an up-to-date iPhone and those earbuds, you can employ hearing assistance tools without visiting a doctor or buying off-putting hearing aids. Simply take a five-minute test, and if the software determines you have mild to moderate hearing loss, you can immediately enable Apple's FDA-approved hearing aid. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it.

To avoid losing such data, you should create regular backups and your home Windows PC is ideal for this. The home computer is also a good data source, as it often houses downloads, music libraries, and video archives. However, if you want to transfer music, videos, or images between your smartphone and a Windows PC, you are spoiled for choice. There are a whole range of different methods available for this data transfer.
Classic and fast: Data exchange via cable
The simplest and quickest method of connecting an Android device to your Windows PC is the classic USB cable. This also offers the highest data transfer speed. Sometimes you can simply disconnect the necessary cable and plug from the charger. You'll want to then proceed as follows:
Plug the cable into the USB port of your PC or laptop and connect the other end to your smartphone or tablet.
A request may now appear on the smartphone asking whether you want to authorize data transfer to the connected medium (the Windows computer). Confirm this request. With newer devices, this is now often unnecessary. In Windows, a small window may pop up asking for the desired use of the connected device. Simply select that you want to display it in Windows Explo

Panic slipped some major news into its fall Playdate Update: Season Two is happening, and we'll see it next year. Can I get a "hell yeah!"? It's been over two years since Season One dropped, and in the time since, it's remained unclear whether another would ever follow. But in today's livestream, Panic's Video & Podcast host Christa Mrgan confirmed that Season Two is a go, and it's "happening next year." Consolation for killing the Stereo Dock, perhaps?
There are a lot of details we still don't know about Season Two, like how much it'll cost (Season One was included with the purchase of a Playdate), but a PR person for Panic confirmed to Engadget that Playdate owners will have to buy it from the Catalog. Information on pricing and the exact number of games will be released in 2025. The first season brought two games per week over the course of 12 weeks, amounting to 24 games in all. According to Mrgan, Season Two so far includes "about a dozen games." There's also apparently another "really cool surprise thing" that we aren't allowed to know the details about just yet, and my curiosity is definitely piqued.
In addition to the Season Two announcement, the fall update also highlighted some upcoming Catalog games to look out for in the coming weeks and into 2025: Owl

To mark the occasion, the Epic Games Store is once again offering free games that are perfectly fitting for the scariest time of the year… and you can save a ton of cash on one in particular.
Ghostwire: Tokyo
The first free title is Ghostwire: Tokyo, which was released by Bethesda Softworks in 2022. Despite having a well-known publisher, the game flew under the radar — whether due to marketing failures or poor release timing, who knows — and that's a shame because its theme, setting, and atmosphere are uniquely exciting.
In this game that delivers a mixture of action-adventure and mystery, you're transported to Japan's capital city of Tokyo, which has suddenly become deserted and haunted by ghostly creatures called Yokai, which you have to fend off and banish.
The main character uses supernatural powers to fight a masked leader who seems to be behind the mystery, all to save his little sister.

 "Atlas uses a machine learning (ML) vision model to detect and localize the environment ... There are no prescribed or teleoperated movements; all motions are generated autonomously online. The robot is able to detect and react to changes in the environment (e.g., moving fixtures) and action failures (e.g., failure to insert the cover, tripping, environment collisions) using a combination of vision, force, and proprioceptive sensors."
