Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes.

Well... that was quick. Originally revealed back in 2021, The Day Before was promised to be an ambitious open-world looter-shooter zombie MMO along the lines of something like The Division and impressive early “gameplay” trailers earned the project a large following on Steam. Then the delays came, with Fntastic sometimes offering odd excuses for why the game had to be pushed back. The game did finally arrive this past week and was slammed with negative user reviews, as it turned out not to be an MMO at all, but more of an extraction shooter, and not a very good one. […]

Apple’s market capitalization recently crossed the $3 trillion threshold, and despite generating a lower revenue in fiscal 2023 compared to the previous period, analysts appear optimistic about the company’s future. The Cupertino firm is also expected to enjoy a solid holiday quarter, and next year, its entry into the mixed-reality headset market, paired with other reasons, makes those analysts believe that Apple will reach a market capitalization of $4 trillion by the end of next year. Analysts also believe that Apple’s Services division will be valued between $1.5 and $1.6 trillion There appears to be no sign of an iPhone […]
TimeSplitters fans are a particularly resilient bunch. They'd have to be, seeing as the last entry in their favorite sci-fi first-person shooter franchise, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, launched nearly nineteen years ago for sixth-generation consoles (PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox). However, this last blow is certainly going to test them. After a flurry of rumors, the studio's official website was updated to say '404 Company Not Found :-('. Meanwhile, several employees have begun posting their goodbyes on social channels like Twitter and LinkedIn, hinting they had a very good time at the studio and are extremely sad about this shutdown. It's […]
Earlier this year, it was rumored that Apple is working on a new material for its accessories. Before the iPhone 15 lineup was announced, the company sold leather cases and other accessories. The company announced its FineWoven accessories alongside the iPhone 15 lineup, including the Apple Watch bands. The company's decision stretched from its attempts to protect the environment from carbon footprints. The company stopped production of accessories that were made out of leather. The move has led the company to be throned by PETA as 2023's company of the year. Apple is crowned 2023's Company of the Year by […]
After much waiting and uncertainty, Baldur’s Gate 3 finally arrived on Xbox Series X/S last week, and plenty of folks are eagerly playing on the platform, but a few have run into a fairly serious issue.

We're aware of the issue of saves disappearing after a crash. An update is available from […]
GLP-1 drugs have been billed as the long-awaited panacea for the obesity pandemic that continues to ravage an ever-increasing segment of the global population. However, a new study published today has shed fresh limelight on the limitations associated with relying solely on pharmaceutical interventions to achieve an ideal BMI. Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone plays an important role in regulating hunger. Novo Nordisk sells its Semaglutide GLP-1 drugs under the Ozempic and Wegovy labels. Eli Lilly and Company, on the other hand, sells its Tirzepatide GLP-1 cocktail under the Mounjaro and Zepbound labels. These drugs stimulate the release of insulin in […]
It is not mandatory to splurge hundreds of dollars on the latest handsets, not when you have an exceptional deal on a premium smartphone that retained the title of a ‘flagship’ just over 12 months ago. Yes, we are talking about 2022’s Pixel 7 Pro, which launched in the U.S. at $899 for the base model and is now available at less than half that amount on Amazon. For the Snow finish, you only have to pay $439, and you will be in possession of a device that can perform 80 percent of tasks similar to the Pixel 8 Pro. […]

There is just one thing about a device: it needs to have a good […]
A huge security exploit has been discovered in Counter-Strike 2, allowing malicious users to obtain the IP addresses of entire lobbies. As explained by X/Twitter user Ozzny, in the past hours, several users reported a security exploit with Steam names inside the game which allows players to make some visual changes with a simple HTML code linking an image. The issue is that this exploit allows a malicious user to obtain the IP addresses of every player connected to the server with the help of an IP logger. While unconfirmed, this security exploit could potentially allow another user to gain […]
DeepCool AN600 Review: top down cooling tested against Scythe, Noctua, and BeQuiet! Most of my previous cooling reviews have used a traditional desktop case, but with today's review we'll be taking a look at top down SFF Cooling Ryzen 7700X with DeepCool's AN600. I've tested it against Scythe, Noctua, and BeQuiet! models of the same class and also a few larger coolers in Silverstone's SUGO 14 SFF Case. Pros Similar performance to BeQuiet! and Noctua models Good noise normalized performance Cons I feel like it would perform better with a slightly thicker heatsink Features of DeepCool's AN600 Slim profile top […]
