SpaceX's Starbase general manager, Kathy Leuders, has shared details about when her firm will catch the Starship second-stage rocket with the tower catch arms. SpaceX made history in October after it caught the Super Heavy booster for the first time with the launch tower. The achievement was remarkable, particularly since the booster catch was successful on its first attempt - an outcome many industry watchers had been skeptical of. The tower catch is key to Starship's goal of rapid re-usability, and the next step in the process is to catch the upper-stage rocket with the tower arms. Speaking at an […]

It took some clever engineering to reduce the footprint of the redesigned Mac mini while also equipping it with some incredibly powerful internals. Still critics will be quick to point fingers at Apple on certain decisions, such as moving the power button to the bottom of the chassis. While it can become an inconvenience to power the machine, two Apple executives explain why this position exists and why it is not a big deal for people who brought up the issue in the first place. Most Mac mini owners would never power off their device and would rather put it […]

With the launch of dedicated Jim Cramer-tracking ETFs, there was widespread hope for a period of time that the CNBC host would become more circumspect in issuing his infamous investment recommendations, ones that had spawned an entire genre of contrarian investment style, based on Cramer's well-tested ability to echo the market's consensus view. Alas, with the shuttering of the Long Cramer Tracker ETF (LJIM) ETF back in August after notching just 2.2 percent gains for the year, that hope has all but disappeared. Interestingly, the Short Jim Cramer ETF (SJIM) by Tuttle Capital Management is still functional, having notched year-to-date […]

The nominees for The Game Awards 2023 have officially been announced, as you might expect, it’s a very competitive year with nominees being fairly evenly split between a number of top contenders. The two frontrunners, with 8 noms apiece, are Alan Wake 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3. Following close on their heels is Spider-Man 2 with 7 nominations, and Nintendo does better than usual (they’re often unfairly relegated to the “Family” category) with 5 noms for both The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Resident Evil 4, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and Final Fantasy […]

Remedy Entertainment has a lot of upcoming projects on its plate, with one of the most mysterious of the bunch being “Vanguard,” a Tencent-funded project originally envisioned as a free-to-play co-op title. Well, following the success of Alan Wake 2, it seems like Remedy is rethinking some of their upcoming slate. While Vanguard hasn’t been canceled, it has been rebooted – it will now be a paid premium title and will be referred to by the new codename “Kestrel.” Apparently, this re-envisioned version of the project will “will lean more into Remedy’s core strengths,” which, to me at least, means […]

A new Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 mod that was released online over the weekend addresses one of the most glaring shortcomings of the collection. The Framerate Unlocker mod, which is now available for download from Nexus Mods, does exactly what its name implies: unlocking the framerate and allowing Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater to run at framerates higher than 60 frames per second. As the mod is still being worked on, it comes with a few issues, such as working properly only when the game is running in the borderless windowed mod enabled by the HDFix mod, […]
Apart from having a reputation for possessing Midas' legendary touch of gold for having transformed almost all of his previous initiatives into profit-making enterprises, Elon Musk also excels in providing inspiration for a host of meme coins, most of which dissipate within a few weeks after capitalizing on the initial frenzy. Dogecoin (DOGE) and STOPELON tokens serve as an apt emblem of this phenomenon. Now, just a few days after the launch of xAI's Grok LLM, we have another meme token, quite imaginatively (sarc) named the GROK coin. Ethereum allows virtually everyone to issue an ERC-20 token that takes advantage […]
