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 […]

Lately, telecommunication service providers have been under hot waters from regulatory authorities and have been levied heavy fines due to consent not being taken from consumers when sharing sensitive information. Now AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon have all unanimously decided to pursue their case by contesting the claim made by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) against it mishandling users' personal data. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are challenging substantial fines imposed by the FCC for sharing sensitive data of users with third-party services While AT&T and T-Mobile have had their share of troubles this year and have managed to stay in the […]
Apple launched the new M4 MacBook Pro models recently, and the new chips pack enormous power, a significant reason why you should consider upgrading. However, there are not many visual differences compared to the M3 version, but it is not a bad thing, per se, as the all-screen design is still great compared to today's standards. In a new video, YouTube channel Max Tech shared details on the battery of the M4 MacBook Pro, highlighting that it is 5 percent bigger in size, which the form factor and design have been kept the same. Apple's M4 MacBook Pro features a […]
Apple announced the new Mac mini last month with some major design changes, and the machine is now significantly smaller than the previous version but way more powerful. The M4 Pro chip in the device is quite capable, allowing the mini computer to handle AAA gaming titles from a few years ago, which is an amazing feat considering gaming on a Mac has been a lost cause over the years. Now, the new M4 Mac mini has experienced a teardown, which aims to show what changes the company has implemented on the inside and what modularity we can expect. Teardown […]
OpenAI has been in the news since its inception of ChatGPT and has been actively evolving its technology, developing new models, and working aggressively to bring AGI forward. While the company's progression is widely praised, it had to face some legal pressure for misusing articles from news outlets to train its large language models. However, the artificial intelligence giant has been able to dodge the lawsuit for now as a federal judge in New York has dismissed the case. A federal judge has dismissed a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI for failing to present enough evidence OpenAI found itself to be […]
MSI's Memory Extension mode has brought up to 21% performance improvement on Intel's Core Ultra 200 CPUs by reducing memory latency. MSI's Memory Extension Mode, Designed For Intel's Core Ultra 200 CPUs, Brings In Impressive Performance Enhancements For those unaware, with the release of Intel's newest desktop CPU, MSI unveiled a unique feature for its 800-series motherboards called the "Memory Extension Mode," which comes in three different presets: Performance Mode, Benchmark Mode, and Memtest Mode. MSI's newest feature can pick up the best memory configurations based on the processor's integrated memory controller (IMC) and memory overclocking capabilities, ultimately allowing the […]
GSC Game World has announced that STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl has officially gone gold. This means the game is done, and a master copy has been sent for mass production (the game will be released on physical discs for Xbox, in addition to digital). In theory, this means no more delays are in order, although there's a famous precedent: CD Projekt RED's Cyberpunk 2077, which was confirmed to have gone gold on October 5, 2020, ahead of its planned November 19, 2020 launch date. However, on October 27, the Polish developer was forced to announce a short delay to […]
Intel has denied a CPU RMA request involving instability issues, citing that the processor utilized liquid-metal thermal paste, which is surprising. Intel's RMA Policy Has Become Inconsistent Following The Widespread CPU Instability Issues As Another Incident Emerges Online After the Intel CPU instability issues that stirred a new fiasco in the industry, Team Blue's RMA servicing has been slacking in some instances, and interestingly, most of such incidents involve the request being totally justified. Previously, we talked about how Intel failed to process a CPU RMA initiated for a "replacement" unit, and on one occasion, a user managed to get […]
NASA's SpaceX Crew-8 astronauts, who returned to Earth late last month after spending more than two hundred days in space, opened up about their experiences in space and after landing during a press conference earlier today. The Crew-8 mission was one of the more unique SpaceX missions since not only did it face multiple delays for its return, but once the crew landed, NASA flew them to a hospital in Florida to keep one NASA astronaut under observation for unforeseen medical issues. While the crew did not share any details about this member or their medical problems, other information they […]

Intel is investigating the possibility of its latest Core Ultra 200S CPUs performing better than what independent reviews showed in gaming. Intel says that there are multiple issues at the OS and BIOS level that have led to inferior gaming performance of desktop Arrow Lake chips, but the fix is on the way We all saw Intel's Arrow Lake, aka Core Ultra 200S CPU's performance results in gaming and productivity. Unlike what we previously expected, the processors brought a regression in gaming performance. Even though it wasn't the case with CPU-oriented workloads, according to Intel, the gaming performance of these processors should […]
Apple has most certainly put its competitors to shame with the pricing of its base M4 Mac mini, as the $599 amount is a figure that the majority of buyers can easily undertake. The only downside to this hardware is that you only get 256GB of storage, which cannot be upgraded unless you are proficient in micro-soldering, which is not the case for a large percentage of Apple’s consumers. In this scenario, you have to be extra responsible when it comes to storage management, but one modder shows how easy it is to go from 256GB to 2TB, assuming you […]
The Pixel 6 initiated Google’s Tensor chipset journey, with immediate successors being used in the newer models. For several generations, the Mountain View giant has been severely criticized for favoring its chipsets over Qualcomm’s, which has led to these expensive flagships being significantly slower than the competition, with multiple overheating reports that pop up every once in a while. Google will eventually tame the thermals aspect of its custom silicon by switching to TSMC’s 3nm N3E process for the Tensor G5, but according to leaked documents, the company will likely never partner with Qualcomm as it wants to continue making […]
