News Image How to set up sleep schedules in iOS

With iOS 14, Apple introduced the ability to set your sleep schedules in the Health app. The feature itself isn’t too complicated. You figure out how many hours you ideally want to get every night, then set a scheduled bedtime and wake time that suits that goal. Of course, you could always just set up a one-time or repeating alarm within the Clock app. The main reason why you’d opt for a sleep schedule instead is that it allows you to set a specific goal and more easily automate a sleep routine. For example, you can automatically launch the Sleep Focus mode at your scheduled bedtime and set up sleep reminders. If you use an Apple Watch or another sleep tracker / sleep app, you can also get notified whenever you meet or exceed your sleep...

News Image Another major hurricane is approaching Florida, one of the most rapidly intensifying on record

Hurricane Milton strengthened into a Category 5 storm on Monday, becoming one of the most rapidly intensifying storms ever in the history of the Atlantic hurricane season. It’s likely within the top three fastest storms on record when it comes to rapid intensification, used to describe tropical cyclones with sustained wind speeds that increase by at least 30 knots (roughly 35 miles per hour) in a 24-hour period. Milton saw an 80-knot increase in wind speed (more than 92 miles per hour) over 24 hours, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Monday morning. “This is almost like three times the threshold that is used.

News Image Alien: Isolation sequel bursts into existence, 10 years after original

The Alien franchise is about uncaring monsters, unfeeling corporations, and horrific, claustrophobic terror. Given this setting, it almost made sense, what happened to the original Alien: Isolation. The game was released to positive reviews, is now considered one of the best games ever made, and sold more than 2 million copies within its first few months. Despite this, Isolation only got "close to break-even or just about in the black," then-Creative Assembly studio director Tim Heaton told GamesIndustry.biz a year after release. With the rapid evolution of AAA game development, that wasn't enough. And so, like a salvage team diverted to a bio-weapon recovery mission, Isolation and its momentum were seemingly abandoned. Abandoned, that is, until today, the 10th anniversary of that game's 2014 release. The appropriately named Al Hope, creative director of Isolation studio Creative Assembly, posted on X (formerly Twitter) that his team had "heard your distress calls loud and clear," and could confirm that "a sequel to Alien: Isolation is in early development."
