Two Amazon Prime Air drones crashed in Arizona

Two Amazon delivery drones reportedly collided with a crane this morning in Tolleson, AZ. The incident occurred about two miles from a fulfillment center run by the tech company and involved two of its Prime Air drones. No injuries have been reported. Law enforcement were called to the scene, however Sgt. Erik Mendez of the Tolleson police told local radio station KTAR that the Federal Aviation Administration would be taking over the investigation.

“We’re aware of an incident involving two Prime Air drones in Tolleson, Arizona,” Amazon representative Terrence Clark said. “We’re currently working with the relevant authorities to investigate.”

Amazon began offering a drone delivery option in the Phoenix area last year. The drones only fly during the day and if weather conditions are favorable. The company received FAA approval to ship several more products by drone in May.

Amazon is reportedly aggressively pitching law enforcement on its cloud services

Forbes has published an investigation into Amazon’s efforts to court law enforcement clients for artificial intelligence and surveillance services. The article reveals that not only is the company promoting Amazon Web Services as a potential police tool, but it has been partnering with other businesses in that sector to use its cloud infrastructure. According to the Forbes report, Amazon’s partners that are pitching police departments include car tracking tools and license plate readers from Flock Safety, gun detection by ZeroEyes, real-time crime center apps from C3 AI and Revir Technologies, and AI that helps compose police reports from Abel Police and Mark43. The piece estimated that the police tech business is worth $11 billion. Based on emails sent by members of Amazon’s law enforcement and safety team, the company is working awfully hard to get a share of those billions.

The company’s aggressive sales work has raised outcry for privacy issues around how police officers might use these tools, which is unsurprising given that AI tools can create inaccuracies and easily be misused. Regulation is still a piecemeal affair and some law enforcement departments have failed to follow what laws do exist about tech use.

“It’s dismaying to see one of the largest and most powerful companies pushing authoritarian surveillance tech in this way,” ACLU Senior Policy Analyst Jay Stanley told Forbes. “I didn’t realize Amazon was serving as a midwife for AI law enforcement technologies.”

Ubisoft launches its new Tencent-backed subsidiary

Ubisoft has launched — and named — its Tencent-backed subsidiary. Vantage Studios is the first of the company’s “creative houses” under a previously-announced reorganization. The new studio will oversee the company’s tentpole franchises: Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six.

The news follows Ubisoft’s March announcement of a new subsidiary with a €1.16 billion ($1.36 billion) investment from Tencent. The Chinese company took a minority ownership stake in Vantage as part of the deal. In July, Ubisoft named the new subsidiary’s co-CEOs: Christophe Derennes and Charlie Guillemot.

“Our focus is on evolving Ubisoft’s operating model to bring more focus, more autonomy and more accountability to the teams so they can stay closely attuned to our players,” Guillemot said at the time. “Decision making will be quicker, and it will also be easier to pivot when we need to change course.”

Ubisoft

Ubisoft’s announcement today reflected that language. The idea is to give its developers “a higher level of autonomy” at Vantage and future studios. It wants the new structure to enable “a shorter pathway between gathering and implementing player feedback.”

Vantage is the only creative house the parent company has announced. The company will set up future ones “under the banner of a shared DNA and development expertise.” However, it’s unclear what other creative houses will work on, with Vantage taking over Ubisoft’s bread-and-butter franchises.

Vantage’s team will be spread across Ubisoft’s offices in Montréal, Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Barcelona and Sofia. Multiple gaming publications, including GamesIndustry.biz, reported that the studio began operations today. Ubisoft is said to have chosen “Vantage Studios” based on a vote by its 2,300 employees. As for Tencent, it will reportedly act in an advisory role, with the co-CEOs having the final word.

Ubisoft was due for some big changes. The company has endured big-name flops, studio closures and layoffs. At least Assassin’s Creed: Shadows has done well.

Incidentally, Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six titles were among those added to Game Pass on Wednesday. Microsoft seems to have intended for the announcement to soften the blow of the service’s 50 percent price hike. I’m not so sure it worked.

FTC sues Zillow and accuses it of buying off rival Redfin

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is suing home-search website Zillow, alleging that it paid rival Redfin $100 million to eliminate competition in the online listing business. The suit refers to a deal inked back in February between the two companies in which Redfin allegedly agreed to become “an exclusive syndicator of Zillow listings.”

The allegations suggest that Redfin began copying over listings from Zillow instead of creating its own listings, which gave Zillow much more control over the space. The suit also accuses Redfin of agreeing to end contracts with advertising customers in an alleged attempt to cede more ground to Zillow.

The FTC went on to suggest that this anti-competitive practice would lead to higher prices and worsening terms for both renters and advertisers. “This agreement is nothing more than an end run around competition that insulates Zillow from head-to-head competition on the merits with Redfin for customers advertising multifamily buildings,” the lawsuit said.

Zillow released a statement on the suit, which was published by CNN. The statement called the previous deal with Redfin “pro-competitive and pro-consumer” and noted that “our listing syndication with Redfin benefits both renters and property managers and has expanded renters’ access to multifamily listings across multiple platforms.”

Redfin also disagrees with the allegations from the FTC, saying that “by the end of 2024, it was clear that the existing number of Redfin advertising customers couldn’t justify the cost of maintaining our rentals sales force.” The company went on to suggest that “partnering with Zillow cut those costs and enabled us to invest more in rental-search innovations on Redfin, directly benefiting apartment seekers.”

The FTC further alleges that Redfin laid off hundreds of workers as part of the deal, going on to help Zillow hire some of these employees. Basically, the agency is accusing Zillow of acquiring a large part of Redfin’s business, all while hiding behind the idea of a partnership to avoid scrutiny. The FTC has asked the court to end the agreement and consider a divestiture of assets.

This isn’t the only current legal dispute that Zillow finds itself in. A real estate brokerage company called Compass issued its own lawsuit back in June, accusing Zillow of engaging in anticompetitive practices.

The best early October Prime Day kitchen deals include up to 39 percent off our favorite air fryers

It’s not officially called October Prime Day, and it doesn’t technically start until next Tuesday, but Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days 2025 sale is already offering up quite a few deals on kitchen tech. And we’re finding a good number of deals on the air fryers, multicookers, soda makers and more that we’ve tested and recommend. The Engadget team has tested plenty of excellent kitchen tech, as seen in our reviews and buying guides. so if you want to read up before you buy, you can. We’ll be adding more deals to this list as we get closer to Tuesday, and expect to add a lot more once the sale officially starts. For now, here are the best Prime Day kitchen deals we could find.

The best October Prime Day kitchen deals

Ninja Creami ice cream maker with extra pints $200 ($55 off with Prime): Here’s a bundle that includes two additional pint jars for the ice cream maker. It’s one of our favorite pieces of kitchen tech and we called it a frozen fantasy-maker in our review. Note that the unit itself dipped down to $160 last Black Friday and the extra pints have gone as low as $16.

Instant Pot Vortex Plus with Clear Cook for $80 ($20 off with Prime): This Vortex air fryer model is similar to our top airfryer pick, but is missing the Odor Ease feature. It still has the Clear Cook window that lets you keep an eye on your food as it crisps and the Vortex cooking tech heats up remarkably fast, with almost no pre-heating time.

Instant Pot Vortex 2-QT Mini for $38 ($22 off with Prime): The budget model from our air fryer guide may not be large but its two-quart basket is enough to reheat leftovers for two or cook up a batch of frozen appetizers. And, because of its small size, it doesn’t take up a ton of space on your countertops — ideal for a small kitchen.

Breville InFizz Fusion beverage maker for $200 ($50 off): We called this fizz-maker the bubble master in our review. True, it’s pricier than rivals in the same space, but the upscale design — that actually looks good on a countertop — somewhat makes up for the price premium. We also appreciate the Fusion Cap that helps prevent messy eruptions when you’re bubbling up your drinks.

Cosori Air Fryer Pro Compact for $85 ($15 off with Prime): One of our concerns with the Cosori 9-in-1 was that it was a little on the wide side, taking up extra countertop space. The Pro Compact has a more space-saving design while still packing a five-quart basket.

Instant Pot 4QT Vortex mini air fryer for $55 ($35 off with Prime): This model’s four-quart capacity falls between our top Instant Pot air fryer pick and the budget model. It has the Clear Cook window feature, six presets and it comes in pink in addition to the standard white and black.

Instant Pot Duo Plus for $90 ($50 off): We named this the best multicooker in our guide to the best kitchen tech we’ve tested. It can cook a dizzying array of foods from basic beans and rice to homemade yogurt. We like this one because it’s simple to use, and has quick-cooking modes for soup, eggs and grains. There’s even a sous vide cooking function.

Breville Bambino Plus for $400 ($100 off): In our gift guide for coffee lovers, this espresso machine earned our respect for its compact size and the fact that it doesn’t cost a grand, like some machines do. Plus the controls are easy for beginners to learn but makes silky milkfoam for pro-level latte artists.

Breville Juice Fountain Plus for $130 ($20 off): This went as low as $110 back in January, but it’s still a decent discount on a high-powered juice extractor. We were won over by its impressive juicing abilities and despite how it looks, it’s surprisingly easy to clean — as long as you do it right away.

How to cancel or downgrade your Xbox Game Pass subscription

If raising console prices wasn’t enough to scare you away, Microsoft has also increased the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate by 50 percent. That makes the subscription cost $30 per month when it used to be $20. Even if it comes with more games and the benefits of a Fortnite Crew subscription, you wouldn’t be wrong for wanting to cancel.

Cancelling means you’ll also lose ability to play online multiplayer games, but cheaper tiers of Game Pass received new benefits without getting a similar price hike, so downgrading might be worth considering. Whichever you choose, the process of managing your subscription is relatively easy, provided you remember your login information.

How to cancel your Game Pass subscription

Ian Carlos Campbell for Engadget

Rather than managing your Game Pass subscription on your Xbox, you’ll need to log in to your Microsoft account through a web browser. To get started:

Access your account by clicking the profile icon in the top-right corner of Microsoft’s website, or by heading to account.microsoft.com and logging in.

Click on the Subscriptions tab in the left sidebar.

In the Game Pass section, click on Manage.

Then click on Cancel subscription, the last option in the menu.

Depending on when you subscribed and when your next billing date is, Microsoft might offer to refund a portion of your subscription if you choose to unsubscribe immediately, rather than wait to the end of your billing period. Whichever you choose, once you confirm, you’ll be unsubscribed.

How to downgrade to a cheaper Game Pass subscription

Ian Carlos Campbell for Engadget

If you’d prefer to just switch to a more affordable subscription, like Game Pass Premium for $15 per month or Game Pass Essential for $10 per month, the process is nearly the same.

Click on the Subscriptions tab in the left sidebar.

In the Game Pass section, click on Manage.

Then, click on Change subscription plan.

Consider your options, then click on Switch subscription to change plans.

Microsoft will ask you to confirm your decision and potentially choose a payment option, but once you click on Subscribe, you’ll be all set.

Saturn’s ocean moon looks more hospitable to subsurface life than we thought

Mars isn’t our only neighbor that may harbor life. The odds have risen that Saturn’s moon Enceladus may, too. On Wednesday, scientists published a paper outlining the increasing complexity of molecules emitted from beneath the moon’s surface. “We now have all elements required for Enceladus to harbour life,” the ESA’s Dr Jörn Helbert told The Guardian.

Enceladus gives researchers a unique window into its subsurface world. The Cassini mission already taught us that plumes of water ice shoot 6,000 miles into space from Enceladus. The source of those icy jets is believed to be a subsurface saltwater ocean, around 30 miles deep, that envelops the entire moon. The space geysers shoot out from its South Pole.

Previous analysis of the moon’s icy particles already revealed the chemical building blocks for life as we know it. But before, the organics were inferred from studying Saturn’s E ring, which is composed mostly of material from the icy jet. In contrast, this study looked at data from the Cassini mission’s flyby of the plumes themselves. What’s different today is the variety of organic signatures and the freshness of the samples. “These grains were just minutes old,” lead author Dr. Nozair Khawaja told The Guardian.

NASA / JPL / Space Science Institute

“The detection of organics directly in the plume rules out space weathering as the sole production pathway,” the paper’s authors wrote. Space weathering refers to radiation and other processes that potentially alter or spoil the samples. “The grains are fresh, unaltered and proof of survival through ocean transit and plume emission” for the compounds.

“These grains were just minutes old,” Khawaja said. “It means that what we are capturing here is actually the pure sample from the subsurface.” He said the results also increased the known complexity of Enceladus’ sub-surface organic chemistry. “When there is complexity happening, that means that the habitable potential of Enceladus is increasing right now,” he said.

The results still don’t prove that there’s life on Saturn’s moon. However, they do suggest a chemically rich subsurface ocean that could seed the building blocks of life. Your move, Mars.

T-Mobile’s Starlink satellite service now works with a handful of apps

T-Mobile just announced that its T-Satellite with Starlink service now integrates with several apps. These include AllTrails, AccuWeather, X, WhatsApp and several others. Certain native apps also now integrate with the service, like Google Messages, Apple Music and Samsung’s weather app.

It’s important to note that users won’t always have access to the full app experience here, as satellite connectivity is limited. Some features may be limited and everything is likely to be noticeably slower. Still, being able to look at a map on AllTrails while actually on a trail in the middle of nowhere will be incredibly useful. It’ll be less useful to read some random screed on X while sitting next to the campfire, but whatever gets you through the night.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile promises that WhatsApp will allow for “sending voice notes, sharing photos or even calling your entire group chat.” This is a potential game-changer but it really depends on how slow everything is, which we won’t know until some explorers get out there to put the app through its paces.

The company has also integrated a number of business-focused apps into T-Satellite for those subscribed to the SuperMobile or T-Priority plans. These apps include the communications platform MultiLine and the AI-powered messaging service Dialpad.

T-Satellite uses Starlink satellites to provide coverage in remote parts of the world. It became broadly available back in July after months of testing. The service is available for both Android and iOS devices. It’s free for T-Mobile customers but everyone else can sign up for $10 a month.

Best October Prime Day SSD deals: Discounts on gear from Crucial, Samsung and more

A portable storage device can make a world of difference to intensive processing tasks, from running massive video games — which feels like all of them these days — to core operating system functions. A solid-state drive (SSD) gives your hard drive more bandwidth than it comes with by default, making huge chunks of data easier to digest and keeping your device from running too hot. This October Prime Day, we’ve rounded up the best deals on SSDs, portable SSDs and microSD cards. Not only are these some of the best products in the field, but their prices are lower than they’re likely to be for some time thanks to Amazon Prime Day.

Best October Prime Day SSD deals

Crucial T500 1TB for $89 (38 percent off): We named the Crucial T500 one of the best SSDs for PS5 and still stand by that rating. This 1TB model can hit read speeds of 7,300MB/s, more than enough for optimal performance per Sony’s specs. You can even install it at home with no tools more complicated than a screwdriver.

Crucial X10 4TB Portable SSD for $240 (39 percent off): The Crucial X9 is our current favorite portable SSD, but the X10 is a step beyond. Based on USB 3.2, it’s compatible with a wide range of devices, and reaches reading speeds of 2,100MB/s — all in an extremely portable pocket-sized case.

Samsung 990 Evo Plus 1TB for $70 (33 percent off): This is an incredible deal on an internal SSD from a reliable brand. All capacities of the Samsung 990 Evo Plus are currently on sale, but even the 1TB option can visibly boost your performance with top read speeds of 7,250MB/s. There’s no heatsink, but nickel plating on the controller reduces both heat output and energy use.

Samsung Fit Plus 256GB for $23 (30 percent off): The Samsung Fit Plus isn’t just the best thumb drive on the market right now — it’s one of the best SSDs, period. This deal gets you 256GB of storage and read speeds of 400MB/s for almost unfathomably cheap. It’s also built to resist water, extreme temperatures, magnets and even radiation.

Kingston SX1000 1TB High Performance for $89 (23 percent off): If you can’t swing a Crucial X9 or X10 right now, Kingston offers a much more affordable alternative. The SX1000 can handle both PC backups and gaming storage with ease, nearly matching the X9 in our speed tests. It’s also easy to carry around, though keep a tight grip as it’s not officially rated for any drop height.

SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD for $148 (29 percent off): The SanDisk Extreme line of portable SSDs provides a great middle ground in both price and performance. Read speeds of 1,050MB/s are enough for transferring most files you’ll encounter day-to-day. Its external design holds up too, with a large carabiner loop, IP65 waterproofing and dustproofing and drop protection as high as three meters.

Seagate Storage Expansion Card 2TB for $220 (39 percent off): This SeaGate SSD is specifically for expanding storage on the Xbox Series X and S, and it’s designed to meet Xbox specs exactly. You’ll get exactly the same performance booting a game from this card as you would from internal Xbox storage, which makes data management infinitely easier.

Here are all the games Microsoft added to Game Pass today, including a whole lot of Assassin’s Creed

Xbox owners got a bit of a nasty surprise thanks to Microsoft’s sudden announcement today that the monthly cost of a Game Pass Ultimate subscription is getting a 50 percent increase. The new $30 monthly price, up from $20, is going to really sting for a lot of people, especially with no cheaper annual or quarterly options offered.

Fortunately, the rough price hike isn’t all that Microsoft talked about today — there are a lot of games being added to the service, particularly for the two most expensive plans. In case you aren’t up to date, Game Pass is now split into three slightly revamped tiers: Essential, Premium and Ultimate, two of which are confusingly also names Sony uses for its cheapest and most expensive PS Plus offerings. You can read a full breakdown of each tier and what they cost here.

More than 45 new games have joined the Ultimate library, with certain Ultimate games trickling down into the Premium and Essential tiers. If that sounds confusing, that’s probably because it is, but the main headlines are that Hogwarts Legacy is now part of Game Pass Ultimate and Premium, while the priciest Ultimate lineup has ballooned in size thanks to the introduction of Ubisoft Classics+. This curated catalogue of Ubisoft’s extensive back catalogue joins EA Play, which was already part of Ultimate, and is a pretty significant addition to the service. Especially if you like old-school Assassin’s Creed.
