Ron Burgundy is everywhere lately. He’s on local news; he’s on ESPN; he’s in Dodge Durango commercials; he’s playing jazz flute on Conan; he has his own scotch; and now he’s got an app, too. Anchorman 2: Scotchy Scotch Toss is now a real-life thing. Available for Android or iPhone, the game challenges you to toss ice cubes into Burgundy’s glass. Fail, and he’ll insult and shame you like only Ron Burgundy can.

We gave the game a download to try it out, and the idea is pretty simple: You toss your cubes by swiping in the right direction and with the right velocity, which are made random by a wind meter. We aren’t sure why it’s so windy inside an RV, behind Ron’s anchor desk, in Ron’s apartment, or at Tino’s Jazz Bar, but it most definitely is.

There isn’t a ton more to say. The quotes are fun and the game is … well, it’s definitely a game. If you like Anchorman quotes and Scorpion terrariums as much as we do, check it out. It’s $1 in the app stores. Be careful though. We’ve heard this app attracts bears. Here’s a trailer.

Withings is the unsung hero of the health-focused smartwatch world, with its gorgeous, hybrid, and truly watch-like Withings ScanWatch often flying under the radar of those beguiled by the digital Apple Watch Series 8 or Samsung Galaxy Watch 6. Now, Withings has introduced the next-generation ScanWatch 2, along with a tempting, reasonably priced new model called the ScanWatch Light.

Both look and operate very differently from those all-digital rivals, and Digital Trends spoke to Withings’ head of consumer products, Matthieu Menanteau, ahead of the launch to learn more.

The budget smartphone market is a bustling space right now, with great phones from Nokia and Samsung making big waves. Motorola is the unofficial king of the budget smartphone, but its throne is looking quite shaky right now. That might be why it's decided to remix some classics this year, releasing new versions of the Moto G 5G and Moto G Stylus.

While there are definitely some improvements in the 2023 versions of both phones, Motorola has also made some cutbacks for both, making these new versions remixes of past classics rather than pure upgrades. Here's everything you need to know about the Motorola Moto G 5G (2023) and Moto G Stylus (2023).
