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 latest Dead by Daylight Killer has been revealed, and it’s a big and small update at the same time. Yes, Montreal-based developer Behaviour Interactive has, improbably, figured out how to add the not-so-cuddly deadly doll Chucky to the game. But how’s a 2-foot-tall Killer going to work exactly? Well, for starters, Chucky is the first Killer to use a third-person, rather than first-person, camera. Players will also be able to dress their murderous doll up in various costumes, including one that will transform Chucky into Tiffany from Bride of Chucky. You can check out a quick teaser trailer for […]
Apple’s newest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models start from $1,599 and offer a measly 8GB of unified RAM that can only be upgraded through the company’s website or proceeding to use soldering techniques to add memory chips, though this alternative comes with a high risk. Regardless, an Apple executive does not seem to believe that the company is being stingy with the 8GB RAM option, as these models are almost equivalent to 16GB RAM present in other systems such as PCs. Apple wants consumers to believe that having 8GB of unified RAM on the M3 MacBook Pro is similar […]

A native PC port of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is now in development, as revealed by new videos shared online this week. The new videos were shared on X/Twitter by HarbourMasters, the team behind the native port of Zelda: Ocarina of Time known as Ship of Harkinian.

Insomniac Games and Sony have rolled out Spider-Man 2 Patch 1.001.005 for PlayStation 5, addressing over 17 annoying issues. Following last week's patch, the development team has now pushed out another update for its latest title.

Also, the patch fixes an issue where either Peter or Miles could lose […]
AMD has limited the driver support for its Polaris & Vega GPUs to "Critical" updates only as both architectures near their EOL (End-of-Life) period.

Not only that but AMD also ended support for Polaris and Vega GPUs in its official AMDVLK Vulkan drivers while the MESA […]
For better or worse, Tales of Arise marked a new beginning for the JRPG series developed by Bandai Namco. Toning down the marked anime feel that has always been part of the franchise while attempting to retain its spirit, the latest entry in the series managed to become quite popular, despite some issues here and there that do bring the experience down, such as a rushed final segment of the story. Still, the experience felt complete for the most part, and the developers stated multiple times that no DLC expansion would ever be released for it. Plans, however, change, and […]
Intel released the November 2023 update to its MLPerf Training 3.1 results and delivered a 103% performance increase compared to their projection of 90% back in June. There are only three accelerators that are currently submitting GPT-3 results on MLPerf right now: Intel, NVIDIA and Google - making Intel's Gaudi 2 currently the only viable alternative to NVIDIA's GPUs (is that even the correct term anymore?) for MLPerf AI workloads. Intel showcases competitive price/performance to NVIDIA's leading edge Hopper chips in latest MLPerf 3.1 Intel was also quick to point out that Xeon is the only CPU submitting training results […]

The EV bubble has most certainly popped and the time of reckoning is now upon once high-flying stocks as they contend with the ground realities of a full-fledged price war by Tesla amid muted demand for electric vehicles. Fisker (NYSE: FSR) stock was briefly a darling of the market back in 2021. Now, it is plumbing all-time lows. $FSR just delayed earnings that were set to be released right NOW because the Chief Accounting Officer “departed” on Oct 27th The CTO also resigned on Oct 30th Seems like the whole c-suite that isn’t married to the CEO jumped ship before […]
