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 pricing of the M4 Mac mini was nailed to absolute perfection because Apple not only continues to sell the base model for $599, it has topped it out by offering 16GB RAM as standard instead of 8GB RAM that shipped with the previous-generation models, along with 256GB of internal storage. However, as you might have guessed, Apple has the liberty to charge a hefty premium if you want extra RAM and SSD configurations, and when you do the calculations, you will find that if you just double the memory and storage, the price is the same as ordering another base […]
At RazerCon 2024, Razer announced a new entry in its popular Kraken headset series—the Kraken V4 Pro. The pro model joins the new Kraken V4 and V4 X, which were both released back in August of this year. Whereas the V4 X headset is a wired model, the V4 and V4 Pro are wireless offerings offering THX Spatial Audio and Razer Chroma RGB lighting. The major difference between the two wireless models? The Pro model comes with Razer’s Sensa HD haptics and an OLED control HUB. Another difference is the price tag: the regular V4 sells for $179.99, whereas the […]
RADV driver fix delivers an incredible performance boost on RDNA 2 hardware using FSR 2, reducing the performance gap that existed for two years. Valve engineer fixes problems with the RADV driver by reworking just ten lines of code to deliver a 228% boost in performance in FSR2 titles The Mesa 24.3 has finally fixed the major issue with the RADV(Radeon Vulkan) driver, which led to inferior performance compared to AMD's proprietary AMDVLK/AMDGPU-PRO Vulkan driver. This performance gap existed for nearly 2 years when the FSR 2 was turned on in games. It has been successfully fixed by Valve's Linux […]
Logitech has been etched into the minds of gaming hardware enthusiasts whenever they hunt for quality-focused mice or keyboards. Whether it is a basic or advanced peripheral that is kitted out with a multitude of buttons, the Swiss company has a positive history of delivering quality products in various price brackets. Today, Amazon has discounted not one but four gaming mice up to 41 percent, and these cater to every budget and requirement. If you require a mouse that offers rudimentary functionality or one that touts the latest sensors and technology, we have got you covered. Starting with the Logitech […]
Google was earlier believed to have started testing the Tensor G5 for its Pixel 10 series that will likely launch in late 2025, and it is typical for such chipsets to be spotted on Geekbench 6’s benchmarking databases several months before the official launch. The upcoming SoC obtained a disappointingly low score in both single-core and multi-core tests, but it turns out that it was not actually the Tensor G5 that was getting tested but an unreleased Tensor G4 variant equipped with a PowerVR GPU and a different CPU cluster. Imagination Technologies, responsible for integrating the PowerVR DXT-48-1536 in the […]
A small number of Apple Vision Pro users who drive the $3,499 head-mounted wearable would likely be complaining of fatigue, and that is because the device ships with just a Solo Knit Band. Since there is nothing at the top, the headset’s extra weight might make it cumbersome to use after prolonged sessions, but that will not be a problem for much longer because a Belkin Head Strap will soon be available to purchase for a relatively affordable $49.95. The Belkin Head Strap would be designed to bring extra comfort to the Apple Vision Pro, as demonstrated during the WWDC […]
Intel's Gaudi AI accelerators haven't managed to hit its "modest" quarterly revenue, as Team Blue fails in attracting market interest. Intel Misses Out On "Safe" Revenue Target For Gaudi AI Accelerators, Posing Questions On The Firm's Strategy Team Blue's business in pretty much all segments, whether it is in the x86 markets or even the AI industry, isn't going too well since competitors have ramped up their solutions, giving Intel little to no chance of creating a clientele based similar to the likes of NVIDIA and AMD.

SpaceX's multi billion dollar Starship Human Landing System (HLS) rocket for NASA's Artemis program to land the first humans on the Moon since the Apollo program will have at least two floors and be capable of carrying a crew of 20 astronauts suggest fresh details on X. While SpaceX has been busy testing the full Starship test in Boca Chica, Texas, the firm has shared little details about the $2.9 billion contract that NASA awarded it in 2021 to build the HLS. Now, according to an educator who recently visited SpaceX's Texas facilities, Starship HLS' early design mock ups include […]
Apple launched the new M4 MacBook Pro models earlier this week, and the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips really surprised us with their performance ratio compared to older models and the competition. In a new comparison video, YouTuber Vadim Yuryev from Max Tech stacks the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips benchmarks against the Intel Ultra 9 285K and AMD Ryzen 9950X. It can be observed that Apple has managed to pull off a fantastic feat of engineering that delivers enhanced computational and graphical gains. Apple's M4 Pro and M4 Max chips outperform desktop-class Intel Ultra 9 285K and […]

The Pixel 10 lineup launching in late 2025 will be the recipient of the Tensor G5, with the latter being Google’s first SoC that will reportedly use TSMC’s 3nm ‘N3E’ architecture. Partial specifications of the chipset, which include a new CPU cluster and ray tracing support, were discussed in a separate report, but sadly, the company will not use in-house cores like Qualcomm has employed in the Snapdragon 8 Elite. So what do all of these changes translate to when talking about the latest benchmark leak? In a word, ‘disappointment,’ as you will find out soon. The latest benchmark leak […]
