Jude Bellingham was not shocked by Madrid’s display after a campaign littered with defeats and tactical muddleOn the way out of the Emirates, someone asked Kylian Mbappé whether Real Madrid could still do this. “Course we can,” he replied, three words and then he was gone. In front of him, Vinícius Júnior left in silence. Rodrygo passed by unnoticed again. Luka Modric didn’t talk, nor did Fede Valverde. Lucas Vázquez and Raúl Asencio did, then Thibaut Courtois and Jude Bellingham. “We weren’t good,” Vázquez admitted. “We forgot to play well,” Courtois said. “It’s not what what we expected,” Asencio said, but it wasn’t unexpected either, which is why it was the description Bellingham didn’t use which said it best.Asked whether he was shocked, Bellingham said: “I don’t know if ‘shocked’ is the right word.” No one who has watched them all year could have truly been shocked by this, except that they’re Real Madrid, stupid, and somehow Real Madrid always seem to find a way. “There is nothing we can draw from external excuses or anything like that; we have to look at ourselves,” Bellingham said. “These are similar sets of themes to when we have dropped points all season. It’s happened again tonight on a larger scale.” Continue reading...

This "Titanfall 3 is actually happening" rumor continues to gain steam, but this time, with some more exciting details behind the info coming in from the latest leaks.Apex Legends leaker Osvaldatore, who started up the rumor mill bigtime last week, dropped another bombshell this morning with further details about the long-anticipated sequel to Titanfall 2, which they say is "almost complete."Image via EATitanfall 3 is being developed on Unreal Engine 5, according to Osvaldatore, and will feature a singleplayer campaign and live-service multiplayer with battle passes, which has become the industry standard. It will also feature "some returning Apex characters" and a weather system.But the leaker also teased that there will be a huge new mode that has become prevalent since Titanfall 2 dropped. Osvaldatore says the main mode of Titanfall 3 is called Extraction, and they posted an altered Escape From Tarkov image which says "Escape From The Frontier: Titanfall 3," teasing that the mode will be similar to the popular loot, shoot, and escape mode.Don't fret, though, because they also said "all Titanfall 2 classic modes" will also be making a comeback, including Team Deathmatch, Control, and Arenas. Still, I'm incredibly interested in seeing how an Extraction mode would utilize Titans, because that would be one of the more thrilling ways to jump on a dropship and get out of harm's way with loot.How would Titanfall's abilities, jetpacks, wall-running, and other mechanics work in an extraction mode? This all sounds very interesting, especially with a loot pool of returning weapons from the series that have been made even more famous in Apex since.Obviously, all of this must be taken loosely until there's official confirmation from EA and Respawn Entertainment, but with the summer season rapidly approaching, we are in for a number of big announcements for games launching in 2025 and beyond. Titanfall 3 could well be one of those games.The post ‘Almost complete’ Titanfall 3 features Apex Legends cast, multiplayer, and campaign, leaks say appeared first on Destructoid.

MacworldBuying a new MacBook can be a costly affair. The cheapest model will run you around $1000, with prices quickly going up from there if you want extra storage, memory or a Pro model. Thankfully, there is now an excellent program from Upgraded that helps you spread the cost out over 36 months so that not only can you easily afford the latest Apple laptop, but you can also upgrade every 24 months to a brand-new machine without it emptying your bank account.How Upgraded makes it easy to afford a new MacBookFor a while now Apple has offered its iPhone Upgrade Program, which lets you pay for a monthly fee for a new iPhone, with the option to replace it with the latest model every 12 months. Sadly, this doesn’t extend to Macs, so Upgraded has come up with an innovative way to help those who want to buy a new MacBook but don’t want to lay down all that cash in one go.The idea of the company’s MacBook Upgrade Program is simple. Select the MacBook model you want to buy – either the MacBook Air M4 or MacBook Pro M4 – then put together your preferred configuration of color, memory, and storage. When this is done, you’ll be shown how much the monthly repayments will be across 36 months.For instance, you can pick up the baseline MacBook Air M4 with a low cost of $33.28 p/m or the MacBook Pro M4 at only $52.17 p/m. These prices also include AppleCare+, which is standard on all Upgraded plans.UpgradedIf your credit score is above 740 you’ll have no interest at all, while those with lower scores will pay a variable rate that will be shown on the payment plan breakdown. Upgraded also states that checking for financial eligibility won’t affect your credit score, so there’s no risk at all in applying.Best of all, there’s also an option to trade in the MacBook after 24 months, and replace it with a new model instead, meaning you’ll never have to stick with an older machine and miss out on the new features Apple keeps for its latest iterations of the Mac. You can repeat this offer every 24 months, so you’ll always have the latest tech at your fingertips, but without the huge bill.Those who prefer to stick with the initial MacBook can just pay out the 36 months, then the device is theirs to keep forever.Good for your pocket and the environmentThe MacBook Upgrade Program is backed by some of the tech industry’s most respected names, so you know your money is safe and you’ll be getting the devices direct from trusted sellers. All the MacBooks are supplied by GatorTec, an Apple Premier Partner, and the financing comes from Citizens Pay, which is the same bank used for Apple’s iPhone Upgrade Program.Upgraded is also backed by OpenAI President Greg Brockman as well as US tech startup accelerator Y Combinator whose previous successes include AirBnB, Reddit, Dropbox, and Twitch.The company’s commitment to the environment also means you can buy with confidence, as all MacBooks that are returned after 24-months as part of the upgrade program are refurbished and given a new lease on life, ensuring they don’t end up in a landfill contributing to the growing problem of e-waste.UpgradedGet yourself a new MacBook today with UpgradedTimes are tough at the moment, with prices already beginning to rise across the world due to trade friction and inflation. This makes it essential that consumers squeeze all they can out of every dollar. With the MacBook Upgrade Program you not only get a brand new MacBook, plus a set rate of repayments for the next 36 months, you also still have money in your pocket to pay for other essentials. This makes it the best way to invest in new technology while also protecting yourself from the uncertainty around the world. Visit Upgraded today and see how its MacBook Upgrade Program can spread the cost and lower the stress of buying a new MacBook in 2025.Visit Upgraded

In an incredibly shocking turn of events, more generative AI features are coming to the Google Workspace suite of productivity apps by way of Gemini. Docs, Sheets, Chat, Meet and newcomer Vids are among the tools that are getting new AI capabilities that perhaps some folks will find useful.Google is taking a cue from audio overviews in NotebookLM to bring new Gemini-powered audio features to Docs. You'll soon have the option of listening to full audio versions of your documents or just the highlights in what Google calls a podcast-style overview. Those enrolled in the Workspace alpha testing program can start trying out these audio features in the coming weeks.By the end of June, alpha testers will have access to an AI writing coach of sorts. The "help me refine" feature is said to offer suggestions on bolstering an argument, ensuring consistent formatting, enhancing the structure of the text and clarifying key points.A similar feature is coming to Sheets later this year. The "help me analyze" tool will seemingly point out trends you might have overlooked, offer pointers on where to dig deeper for more insights and whip up charts to visualize the data.In Meet, you'll soon be able to ask Gemini to recap parts of a meeting you missed because you were running late, clarify certain decisions or topics, generate a recap in the format of your choice and help refine a point before you raise a virtual arm to join the conversation. This so-called "personal in-meeting advisor" will be generally available in Meet before the end of June.As for Chat, Google will soon offer the option to mention @gemini in a conversation to receive a summary that includes open questions, important decisions that were made and lays out next steps. It could be a useful way to distill everything that happened in a bustling group chat. This capability will be available through the Labs early-access program in the coming weeks.In Vids, you'll soon be able to generate what Google says are "high-quality, original" clips using the Veo 2 model (perhaps ignoring the fact that generative video AI models mash together footage that they were trained on and arguably don't create anything truly original at all). Workspace alpha can get their hands on this in the coming weeks.Elsewhere, there's another new feature called Google Workspace Flows. Google bills this as "a brand-new way to automate and orchestrate work across your apps, powered by AI." It employs Gems, customizable AI agents that can be created with Gemini, to take care of specialized tasks, such as researching, analyzing and generating content.The company says that Workspace Flows can, for instance, address a customer support ticket by analyzing the issue, researching a solution and drafting a reply that the support team can review before sending. Gems can mine your Google Drive files for context. Google's also working with third-party partners to integrate Workspace Flows into their apps and tools. Google is now rolling out Workspace Flows in the alpha program.Lastly, as of today, Google will allow Workspace users to choose where Gemini processes their data. So if you're in the European Union and don't want your data to travel to the US (or vice versa), that's now an option. Google makes it clear that this is to help comply with regulations such as the EU's GDPR.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/surprise-google-workspace-is-adding-more-ai-tools-to-docs-sheets-chat-and-other-apps-143644125.html?src=rss
