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. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The great thing about WhatsApp is that over the past couple of months, the platform has been stably adding new features to the mix that make the overall experience a lot better. Every now and then, we see features that are there to help users be more intuitive, and recently, the platform has added the ability to add profiles to your WhatsApp account. The benefit of adding profiles to your WhatsApp account is that you can use a single app but have multiple accounts linked to multiple phone numbers on the same device. This feature was previously in testing but […]
it is said that there is a lot of clarity in hindsight. Lucid Group should have started retailing its newly unveiled Gravity SUV a lot sooner than the cash sieve that is the Lucid Air electric sedan. After all, the SUV aims to hit the market's sweet spot in terms of price and amenities, and might even have become the embattled company's lifeline in today's turbulent waters. Nonetheless, the Gravity electric SUV might yet transform into Lucid Group's much-needed panacea, but not without a significant cash infusion from the Saudis.

When you are talking about a traditional messaging app, I don't think things get better than Google Messages. Sure, Samsung's messaging app comes close to it, but for the most comprehensive experience, Google is where everything good lies. After rolling out the Profile Discovery feature a couple of days back, we have now received word that the search engine giant is working on a new feature that will be great for those who use the app to send voice messages. Google Messages will now let you send voice messages without the pesky background noise thanks to the new noise cancelling […]
Following the 18 rating received earlier this week in Saudi Arabia, Dragon's Dogma 2 has been rated by the European equivalent, PEGI (Pan European Game Information). The rating is the same (18). It comes with warnings of violence and in-game purchases, with the latter suggesting there will be some form of microtransactions. More importantly, though, the PEGI website has listed the release date of Dragon's Dogma 2. According to the listing, the hotly anticipated action RPG sequel will be available starting on Friday, March 22, 2024. This doesn't really feel like a placeholder date, so we may have a proper […]
A new PlayStation Portal teardown video was shared online, providing a good look at the device's internal and more. The teardown, which was conducted by Jacob R, revealed how the device, as expected, is powered by an underpowered chip, so modding is likely not going to turn the system into an emulation powerhouse. Also, the video highlights how the device doesn't feature great repairability as it's even difficult to take apart, something that could definitely become a problem in the future. The PlayStation Portal was announced to be a Remote Play focused device, and this it does quite well, as […]
A new Lords of the Fallen update is now live on PC and consoles, introducing multiple tweaks, Naninte, and performance improvements. The new v1.1.326 update introduces a custom engine improvement that allows the developer to use Nanite for all Umbral meshed, resulting in a noticeable performance improvement in in Umbral.

The update also brings a new lock-on system, tweaks to bosses, PVP/PVE balancing […]
Grand Theft Auto 6 has yet to be officially revealed, but some dedicated fans put together an early map of the game based on the leaked clips that surfaced online, which suggests that it will be triple the size of the map featured in the previous entry in the series. The map, which was put together by the dedicated GTA Mapping community and shared on X/Twitter by Jason From Gta 6 2.0, was created by using the coordinates seen in the leaked clips to calculate the distance between them. Interestingly enough, going by the estimated measurements, the distance between Vice […]
This morning, CAPCOM announced a new Dragon's Dogma 2 showcase scheduled for Tuesday, November 28th, airing at 1 PM Pacific Time or 9 PM GMT. The publisher has promised brand new gameplay and lots of information straight from Game Director Hideaki Itsuno and Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi. The live stream will last around 15 minutes. CAPCOM has certainly increased the pace of Dragon's Dogma 2 updates over the past few months, which may hint at an imminent release date announcement. After all, the Japanese publisher still has another unspecified major game (a million seller) scheduled to be released by the end […]
Just ten days after the release of the long-awaited Guardians of the Dream update (which added the Emerald Dream zone, the Amirdrassil raid, and a new season to the MMORPG), World of Warcraft fans were treated to a preview of the next major patch. Blizzard revealed that it will be called Seeds of Renewal. While there is no release window yet, the developer outlined several major additions, chiefly the availability of follower AI to fill in missing characters during Normal dungeons. From the PTR notes: Follower Dungeons are available for all 8 of the original Dragonflight dungeons on Normal difficulty. […]
We all know how YouTube is currently working on making the platform work better with the help of AI. However, AI has proved to be a double-edged sword for the platform--on the one hand. The company wants to introduce new AI-related features on the platform, and on the other hand, the company has to ensure that AI is not being misused on the platform. YouTube is working on a bunch of new generative-AI features that could change the platform drastically It is safe to say that YouTube has a lot to work to ensure that AI is not going to […]
A native The Last of Us 2 PS5 version has seemingly appeared on the PlayStation Network servers, suggesting that a release of the version is imminent. For quite some time, fans have been asking for a native version of The Last of Us Part 2 on PlayStation 5. To date, players are required to play the PS4 version of the game on Sony's console, albeit with performance enhancements. From the looks of it, however, Sony is now planning to release a native version of the game on PS5. As spotted on X by the usually-reliable PlayStation Game Size Twitter account […]
A few hours ago, Arkane Austin released the third major update for Redfall. The highlight of the patch is the addition of a new weapon called Basilisk, an Unrivaled Sniper Rifle that can petrify vampires with the first bullet of a full magazine. Basilisk can be found randomly wherever Unrivaled items usually drop, though it has a higher chance of appearing from Bellwether containers found in the open world and from vampire nests. The Redfall update also improves NPC pathing and animations, reduces stuttering, and introduces several balance changes. AI/NPC Balanced enemy abilities and traits: Siphon’s Blood Torrent ability takes […]
