The Indiana Jones movies land on Disney Plus soon, just in time for Dial of Destiny

The first four Indiana Jones films are coming to Disney Plus this month, just in time for fans to brush up on their series knowledge ahead of the new Indiana Jones: Dial of Destiny caper releasing on June 30 (which we're really looking forward to, based on the trailer).

As of May 31, Disney Plus subscribers will be able to stream Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – hopping through decades' worth of whips, skulls, and adventurous archaeology before the fifth and (we have to assume) final film releases in theaters. 

The streaming service's official Twitter account reported the news, confirming that subscribers would have very little time to wait before the films land on the platform:

These belong in a museum!

As a blockbuster franchise spanning over 40 years, there's plenty for budding archeologists to uncover, or revisit in these (mostly) beloved films. 

The films' mix of whips, ancient artefacts, ghosts and occasional Nazis makes for adventures like no other – and this is the perfect opportunity to go back and see what made these Spielberg-directed films such a phenomenon. We'd hate to pass up the chance to see Everything Everywhere All At Once's Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan in his breakout role for Temple of Doom, too, as the 12-year-old Short Round.

Having said that, we'd recommended Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade as being the best two, by a long way. You could probably skip the other two and not feel bad. Temple of Doom has some iconic scenes, no question, but it doesn't hang together as well as the other two.

The most recent entry, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, is maybe the least-liked in the whole series, so we're hoping the incoming Dial of Destiny movie will revive the best parts of the earlier movies. We know the film is using de-ageing technology to show flashbacks from Indy's past, so it's well worth reminding yourself of the character's history – before this cinematic icon is finally put to rest.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...
