Surely it will be a welcomed return to normalcy for the league and its players as teams prepare for the 2022-23 season. Free agency dates also have yet to be officially announced, but we do know the date for the NBA Draft, when Summer League will take place in Las Vegas and which weekend the 2023 NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City will be held. Although the 2022 NBA Finals just started, it's never too early to start thinking about what's ahead for the league.

Why I'm rolling with Ohio State — and not Alabama — to win it all in ... (Saturday Down South)

The Buckeyes are set up well to accomplish something that hasn't happened since Year 1 of the Playoff era.

That can only change by getting more production from a wealth of returning defensive ends coupled with that scheme change that should, in theory, avoid putting linebackers in tough spots to cover in space (Knowles is also coaching the linebackers group himself). It’s not a surprise that in that same 17-year stretch, Alabama repeating in 2011-12 is the lone such occurrence. You’d think that would favor the preseason No. 1. I’m high on the transfer portal additions at the skill positions, and I don’t think it’s crazy to predict that Alabama ends the season with 4 All-Americans on defense alone (don’t forget about Eli Ricks). Seven times in the past 17 years, the preseason AP No. 1 team made it to the title game. Even though the narrative is that only a few teams can win a national title and that it’s too predictable, let’s also not forget about the college football offseason. The most dominant program we’ve seen in the modern era of the sport has only started and finished No. 1 once. It was 2017 Alabama, which barely made the field as a 4-seed, non-division champ and had to rally back from a double-digit deficit in the title game to win in overtime. In fact, Ohio State’s offseason move was made to combat that exact scenario. And 2020 was pre-draft year Trevor Lawrence with that loaded Clemson offense that got the top preseason spot instead of an Alabama team coming off a 2-loss regular season. Yes, I realize that when the rest of the preseason predictions come out over the summer, it’ll be hard not to pick the Tide to win a title. Ohio State didn’t get a shot at the title.

But whatever comes out of WWDC, rest assured, The Verge will bring the news to you. Will we get an M2 that is slightly iterative, or will we get a processor that breaks away from all the Pros, Maxes, and Ultras and starts a new line for a new MacBook Air? Will we finally get a glimpse of the Apple Car? Well, probably not. There are a whole lot of OSes coming out of Cupertino over the last seven years, like watchOS, tvOS, iPadOS, and now we might see evidence of the rumored RealityOS that will power a long-rumored AR / VR headset from Apple.

Apple WWDC 2022 Everything Announced: All the Big Apple ... (IGN)

Apple WWDC 2022 starts in a few hours, here's how and where to tune into the developer conference.

Of course, that new display also comes with a notch and it’s there supposedly to make room for the new 1080p camera. To reflect this possible future, Apple brought a Resident Evil Village on stage to endorse the technology. The new MacBook Air sports a decidedly less wedge-shaped and more squared-off design that essentially looks like a thinned-down MacBook Pro with M1 Pro. This technology is essentially Apple’s version of Nvidia DLSS and AMD FidelityFX and if it works as well as theorized it could lead to more gaming on Apple’s computers. The new M2 chip promises 25% more GPU performance and 18% more performance overall over the M1. If you’re into sports, you’ll be glad to hear Apple TV app will show you scores and play-by-play on the lock screen with the new Live Activities widget. Of course, the new chip brings new efficiency and performance cores. Opposite of working out, Apple has improved the Sleep app to detect REM, Core, and Deep sleep. On top of manually uploading photos, users can set smart upload filters to send photos to the shared library right away if they’re taken from a particular location or time and other parameters. Apple is making some big changes to the lockscreen with iOS 16, completely reimagining the way it looks and works. Notifications also won’t cover up your lockscreen anymore, instead, they’ll roll up from the bottom and you can choose to just hide them as well. What's more, Apple announced a new M2 processor coming to Apple hardware soon.

Currently, the store simply shows the event's promotional image and the placeholder words, "Developing news," and confirming the company is "making updates to the Apple Store." As has become tradition ahead of major Apple news dump events, the company's online store has a mysteriously empty homepage ahead of Monday's Worldwide Developer Conference while updates are being made. Apple is hours away from revealing a bunch of iOS news at the company's WWDC 2022 keynote later today, and the Apple Store has drawn a curtain on its homepage.

In addition to this, the OS is also said to bring a better low-power mode feature to Apple Watch.

According to Gurman, macOS 13 will bring “much-needed overhaul to System Preferences to make them more in line with Settings on iOS.”
