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 […]

Apple’s base M4 Mac mini and the 512GB storage model were almost immediately discounted on Amazon after their official release date, delivering solid performance while maintaining an incredibly small form factor thanks to the new chipset upgrade. However, there will always be those that require more horsepower, which is why the M4 Pro version is available to sate those requirements. A few days ago, no offer was stamped on the more capable variant, but that is a thing of the past because those who wanted to get this version can avail $50 off. A flat $30 discount is applied on […]
Jeff Bezos' rocket company, Blue Origin, is silently progressing towards the first hot fire test of its New Glenn rocket. Powered by in-house engines, New Glenn is also designed to land on a ship like SpaceX's Falcon 9. It is also more powerful than SpaceX's workhorse and operational rocket, and footage from media in Florida shows that Blue Origin's barge came back to port at Cape Canaveral late last night after offshore testing. The return marks another step in the rocket's test campaign, with a major hot fire of its engines expected to occur soon. Blue Origin Picks Up The […]
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 […]
Motherboards shipping with an M.2 PCIe NVMe Gen 5 slot have only recently started to get traction, and thanks to hardware upgrades provided by the newer standards and AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series processors, you can bring out the true potential of your components. It would be fairly easy to become the proud owner of Crucial’s T700 4TB SSD, which can reach a maximum speed of 12,400MB/s thanks to the Gen 5 standard. However, you will leave a ton of performance on the table if you keep it inserted in an M.2 slot limited to the Gen 4 protocol. Thankfully, with […]
The first character to be featured in The Witcher 4 Polaris, the highly anticipated next entry in the series by CD Projekt Red, has been revealed via an online actor's resume. According to information discovered on Spotlight by Reddit user KekanKok, British actor Jake Lampert will play a character called Branko in the next entry in the series. Interestingly enough, the role is dated 2025, indicating that voiceover recording and motion capture for the character will begin next year and that the game is still pretty far from release. Last we heard, The Witcher 4 Polaris was still in the […]
