September 26 is The Last of Us Day and to mark the occasion, HBO has dropped the first proper trailer for season two of its misery simulator TV adaptation. This expands on a sizzle reel we saw several weeks ago, which included the first glimpses of Catherine OHaras character (seemingly a therapist) and Kaitlyn Dever as a pivotal newcomer, Abby. Theres more of both here, including that terrifying sequence of infected nearly crushing Abby under a chain-link fence. There are quite a few other recognizable moments from The Last of Us Part II in the new clip, including an encounter between Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and an infected in an abandoned supermarket and a famous scene of her playing guitar for Dina (Isabela Merced). The games subway segment is featured, along with the Seraphites and Jeffrey Wright, who reprises his Part II role as the leader of a militant faction. Of course, Joel (Pedro Pascal) is featured throughout the trailer too he plays guitar with Ellie and sheds a tear, seemingly while in a therapy appointment with O'Hara. Unfortunately, the clip doesnt narrow down the release date for the season, which will air in 2025. However, HBO boss Casey Bloys recently indicated it will arrive in the first half of next year to make it eligible for the next Emmy awards (the same goes for the next season of The White Lotus). Elsewhere, Naughty Dog is marking TLoU Day in its own way with some new merch and other tidbits. Theres a new bunch of TLoU-related avatars and emoji you can pick up using Steam Points, along with a thematic Steam Deck startup video. Meanwhile, PS Plus Extra and Premium members have access to the PS5 remake of the first game at no extra cost starting today.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/the-last-of-us-season-two-trailer-shows-ellie-in-danger-and-joel-in-therapy-160401898.html?src=rss

You can now upload YouTube videos and audio files to NotebookLM, an AI-powered summarizing tool for education and research. The update means Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro-powered virtual assistant can now handle Google Docs, PDFs, text files, Google Slides, YouTube video URLs, audio files and web pages. This expands NotebookLM's potential sources to include lecture recordings, informative YouTube content and group discussions. Google claims that it securely stores all information uploaded to NoteBookLM and does not use it to train AI. Google launched the virtual research assistant in the summer of 2023 and upgraded it to run on Gemini 1.5 Pro this past June. Alongside the AI-powered bump, Google expanded NotebookLM to be available in over 200 countries and territories. Most recently, Google added Audio Overview to NotebookLM. The tool has two AI hosts hopefully not foreshadowing what hosting will look like in the future discuss your sources, summarize material and "banter." Google is now adding the ability to share Audio Overviews with others through a public URL. The irony here is that the reason we'd need an AI to briefly summarize a YouTube video in the first place is because Google incentivized the creation of ever-longer videos.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/notebooklm-can-now-summarize-youtube-videos-160037375.html?src=rss

The iPhone 16 is currently available and, well, these handsets are expensive. Investing in a case is never a bad idea and Apple makes some solid offerings. The companys silicone MagSafe iPhone 16 cases are on sale via Amazon for $42, which is a discount of 14 percent. The sale includes eight colorways, so as to better match the hue of the phone itself. As previously mentioned, these cases are made by Apple specifically for the iPhone 16, so the fit will be perfect. Its made from recycled silicone, with a microfibre lining on the inside for more protection. This is a MagSafe case, meaning it allows for wireless charging by setting it on a Qi2 or Qi-certified charger. Its also been designed with the iPhone 16s camera button in mind. The company says the case includes a sapphire crystal, coupled to a conductive layer that communicates finger movements. Translation? All of those neat swipey gestures will still work. This case is only for the standard iPhone 16. It wont fit the iPhone 16 Plus, the Pro or the Pro Max. It goes without saying that it also wont squeeze over any handsets from previous generations.
