Mazda unveiled its best-selling 2022 CX-5 crossover a few months ago, but the Japanese automaker failed to mention pricing and trim levels. As it turns out, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 gets new trim designations and a mild price hike. In return, the updated CX-5 receives standard all-wheel-drive (AWD) across the board, with base prices starting at $27,125 (including $1,225 destination … Continue reading

Reddit is introducing a handful of new features designed to make its social network feel more interactive. Starting today, you’ll notice the vote and comment counts on posts and feeds will increase (as well as decrease) in real-time. Additionally, you’ll see new typing indicators that will tell you when two or more people are replying to a comment. Similarly, another set of real-time indicators will share when five or more people are reading the same post.
In both instances, you won’t know exactly who is reading a post or readying a reply, but it will give you a broader sense of how much attention it’s drawing. Lastly, Reddit has reworked the comment pill to display new comments as you’re scrolling through a post.
In practice, the new features will make Reddit feel more like a chat app. The company says they were designed to increase user engagement. It contends they will create a better experience for users. Whether that actually turns out to be the case, we’ll see later today when Reddit starts rolling out the features to its web client, as well as Android and iOS apps.
Verizon (Engadget’s former parent company) isn’t just relying on no-frills media players to push its Stream TV platform. The carrier has unveiled the Stream TV Soundbar (shown below) and Stream TV Soundbar Pro (at top), both of which mate Android TV with Bang & Olufsen’s audio know-how and some high-end features to match. All of them include Dolby Atmos surround sound and content-sensitive sound field selection — it’s just a question of how much B&O influence you want.
The base Stream TV Soundbar costs $400 with five speakers “tuned” by B&O as well as two HDMI ports. Step up to the $1,000 Soundbar Pro and you’ll get nine B&O speakers, a third HDMI port and a B&O-designed profile. Both run the same Stream TV interface with similar software features (including Chromecast streaming and the Google Play Store), so it really comes down to your budget and desire for Danish audio.
Both soundbars are available solely through Verizon as of today (December 1st). They face stiff competition. On top of direct rivals like JBL’s Link Bar, you can find plenty of not-quite-so-connected soundbars like the Sonos Arc and Beam or Sony’s HT-A5000. Verizon’s bars make the most sense if you’re already shopping the company’s store, unimpressed with your immediately available alternatives or just want a (relatively) inexpensive way to get B&O sound into your living room.

In Netflix’s new limited series True Story—created by Narcos: Mexico executive producer Eric Newman—Kevin Hart stars as Kid, a barely-fictionalized version of himself who’s at the top of his comedic game and in the thick of promoting a new superhero movie that’s poised to rake in a cool $1 billion at the box office.
