In time to celebrate Fallout's 25th anniversary, Amazon Prime Video and Kilter Films shared its first look from its upcoming Fallout series. The photo shows the inside of a just-opened Vault. We see a mysterious figure standing outside and looking at the Vault dwellers in the frame. These dwellers are wearing Vault 33 jumpsuits. Plot details are sparse beyond this teaser image.

Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, the creators behind the Westworld reboot, are adapting this video game series and serving as head writers. Todd Howard joins as executive producer, and the series stars Walton Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan, and Ella Purnell. Goggins will reportedly play a character "based on the ghouls."

Nothing opens first brick-and-mortar store in London

Source: Nothing

Nothing is bringing something to its home market. The tech startup is opening its first brick-and-mortar store in London's Soho district. The company has launched the Ear (1) and Phone (1) in the past year. And it's about to introduce another pair of earbuds soon. And we are expecting to see that in the store with an image of it blown up in its window with the words saying it'll be open "before Christmas."

The press release for this new store mentions how the Nothing storefront is down the road from a Supreme store, which speaks of founder Carl Pei's vision to create a brand that merges fashion with consumer tech. And it has been playing on this artificial scarcity product launch approach we typically see in sneaker culture. Speaking of which, the Nothing store will make available 100 numbered Ear (stick) earbuds.

YouTube gets more precise seeking, pinch-to-zoom, other design changes

YouTube is rolling out some new design changes you may find helpful. The app is getting precise seeking with a more usable frame-by-frame preview when you scroll, allowing you to find the exact part of the video you want to see. The app is also bringing its pinch-to-zoom feature from a test with YouTube Premium subscribers to all users, allowing you to zoom in on videos the same way you would with photos.

The app is also getting a new ambient mode that uses "dynamic colour sampling," so the app's background matches the video or playlist you're watching. This feature is coming to the web and mobile for those using a dark theme. The dark mode is getting darker so that "colours truly pop on your screen." And the "subscribe" is getting a makeover, too, with the like, share, and download buttons "formatted to minimize distractions." Video thumbnails now get rounded corners to match Google's Material You design changes.
