Amazon’s latest gadget for kids is finally available to everyone in the US

Amazon is expanding its suite of tech products aimed at kids with a brand new smart projector called the Amazon Glow .

This device is designed to help children connect with family and friends through reading, drawing, and playing without having to be in the same physical space as each other.

Rather than projecting onto a wall, the Glow shines down onto a touch-sensitive pad that reacts to input from whoever is using the device. Kids can read their favorite books from the Amazon Kids Plus service (the Glow comes with a one-year subscription), draw using virtual tools, and play games.

Meanwhile, a family member can appear over video call (thanks to Glow’s in-built screen) and interact with play space using the free Amazon Glow app on their smartphone or tablet.

Parental controls ensure that only pre-approved contacts can connect to the Amazon Glow, and the camera and microphones can be shut off in an instant using the privacy shutter.

If you want to try the Amazon Glow out for yourself, it’s available in the US for $300.

Amazon has yet to announce a release date for other territories, so we’ve reached out to see if we can find out more (if we hear back we’ll be sure to update this piece).

Better than a regular video call?

We haven't had a chance to try the Amazon Glow out for ourselves yet, but reactions to the device online have been mostly positive so far from what we can see.

There are reports that the device suffers from its fair share of glitches but kids seem to love the chance to play with their relatives, rather than just having to chat over a boring video call.

Earlier this year, we wrote about how VR games had a similar effect on us when catching up with friends and family. Instead of having to put up with an impersonal video call, we all had a much more enjoyable time by chatting over a round of virtual golf together .

VR isn't for everyone, and isn't really designed for kids right now. The Amazon Glow seems to capture a lot of the ideas that made our virtual interactions great and packages them in a much more kid-friendly device.

We'll have to see if reactions to the Glow remain positive, though for those looking to travel less because of ongoing health concerns or a desire to reduce your carbon footprint - Amazon's latest gadget could be just what you're looking for.

What time is Moon Knight episode 2 released on Disney Plus?

What time is Moon Knight episode 2 released on Disney Plus? That's a question you'll be asking yourself if you can't wait for your next meet up with Oscar Isaac's masked vigilante. To give you some indication of when it'll land, Moon Knight episode 2 will arrive on Wednesday, April 6 .

With the latest Marvel Phase 4 project premiering last week (Wednesday, March 30), viewers were finally able to check out the surreal, supernatural-fuelled TV show that seemingly has no ties to previous Marvel movies or shows. And, by and large, it seems like a lot of people enjoyed it. We certainly did when we watched it a few weeks earlier for our spoiler-free review , which you should check out for more non-spoilerific insights into what's to come. If you're already read that, you'll want to read our article on an episode 1 Easter egg you probably missed instead.

But we digress. You're here to find out when Moon Knight's second episode will air on Disney Plus . Below, we reveal when you can catch the next instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) TV series. Not only that, but you'll also find a full release schedule for the show's other episodes, too, so make sure you bookmark this page for its weekly entries.

When is the next episode of Moon Knight launching on Disney Plus?

Moon Knight episode 2 will land on Disney Plus on Wednesday, April 6 at 12 AM PT / 3 AM ET / 8 AM BST / 12:30 PM IST / 5PM AEST.

Moon Knight's release time means that US-based audiences will have to stay awake (or go to bed later than planned) if they want to catch it as soon as possible. Meanwhile, UK viewers should have the chance to watch it before they start work. India-based Marvel fans can feasibly check it out on their lunch break, while those Down Under will have to wait until they get home from work to catch episode 2.

No matter what world region you're based in, you'll definitely want to take precautions regarding possible Moon Knight spoilers. If you can't watch episode 2 until Wednesday evening, you won't want to have certain story threads spoiled by others on social media.

To stave off that possible disappointment, we suggest that you mute words and hashtags including #MoonKnight, #MoonKnightspoilers, and #MoonKnightepisode2. You can thank us later.

Moon Knight on Disney Plus: full release schedule

Here's the complete release schedule for Moon Knight on Disney Plus:

Just like previous Marvel TV shows, including Loki and Hawkeye, Moon Knight's episodes will release weekly on Wednesdays. That means that Moon Knight will finish in time for Doctor Strange 2 's theatrical release – that being May 6, two days after the Moon Knight series finale.

Is there a Moon Knight episode 2 trailer?

Not yet – and there's unlikely to be one, too. Moon Knight's TV show will only consist of six episodes, so the next major trailer we get is sure to be a mid-season teaser post-episode 3, which will hint at events to come in the final three entries.

If a trailer for episode 2 arrives before it airs on Disney Plus, though, we'll let you know.

This Google Chrome challenger could be the best browser for private surfing

In addition to its search engine and mobile browser , DuckDuckGo has announced the beta launch of DuckDuckGo for Mac with DuckDuckGo for Windows coming soon.

Just like its mobile app, DuckDuckGo for Mac is an all-one-privacy solution for everyday web browsing that doesn’t require complicated settings to protect your online privacy and data.

Alongside its built-in private search engine, the company’s new browser for desktop also features a number of useful security features including a powerful tracker blocker, new cookie pop-up protection, a Fire Button for one-click data clearing, email protection and more, all free of charge.

DuckDuckGo for Mac also ensures you navigate to the HTTPS version of websites more often with its built-in Smarter Encryption. Meanwhile, the company’s tracker blocker prevents users from being exposed to third-party scripts that could try to access their data.

A browser designed to protect your privacy

Unlike Incognito mode in Google Chrome which isn’t actually private, DuckDuckGo for Mac is intended to be used as an everyday browser that truly protects user privacy though it also includes other features you’d expect from a modern browser such as password management , tab management, bookmarks and more.

At the same time, DuckDuckGo for Mac is already faster than Chrome using the Motion Mark 1.2 benchmark and since it blocks trackers, the browser uses around 60 percent less data. DuckDuckGo for Mac is able to achieve these high speeds by using Apple’s WebKit rendering engine which is the same one used by Safari .

CEO and founder of DuckDuckGo, Gabriel Weinberg provided further insight on the built-in privacy protection in the company’s new browser for Mac in a statement to TechRadar Pro , saying:

"At DuckDuckGo, we make privacy simple. For too long people have been made to believe that privacy online means significant tradeoffs, but that doesn't need to be the case. Like our popular mobile app, DuckDuckGo for Mac is an all-in-one privacy solution for everyday browsing with no complicated settings, just a clean, seamless private experience, plus some other cool features we think people will love."

To join the DuckDuckGo for Mac beta, interested users can join the private waitlist by downloading the DuckDuckGo mobile app , heading to settings and opening DuckDuckGo for Desktop from the “More from DuckDuckGo” section.
