Here’s another dubious milestone notched up by the memory crisis. The proportion that RAM and storage makes up of the cost of producing an HP PC has doubled this year to 35%. Specifically, HP’s CFO Karen Parkhill was speaking to the usual gathering of highly remunerated bean counters on the company’s quarterly earnings call yesterday…
I love it when a developer takes another swing at an idea they didn’t nail the first time. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has a barren and boring sky to explore, likely because it was made for the humble old Wii. Twelve years and a few hardware upgrades later, Nintendo knocked that same idea…
With a little bit of modding, of course. Remember when Nintendo released a new Game & Watch handheld to celebrate the Zelda series? Sure you do – you’ve probably got one of the units on your shelf right now, gathering dust after you finished its (rather paltry) trio of pre-installed titles. If you’ve been wondering…
Like Water Pumps, the humble Camera Lens is so useless in Arc Raiders that you’ve likely never paid it any attention. Now, though, thanks to the new Weather Monitor project, you suddenly need to find three of the blighters, and you’re understandably stumped trying to remember where you’ve run into them. The good news is…
If you were a leading a tech company with big aspirations, you’d be looking into Linux and Arm right now. Nvidia certainly is. The company already has both in its product stack, namely the DGX Spark, which uses a custom Linux OS and off-the-shelf Arm cores. This chip is also set to launch as the…
Water Pumps are generally pretty useless items in Arc Raiders, since you’ll either sell them for a measly 1,000 coins or scrap them for a handful of metal and oil. However, the new Weather Monitor project has given the Water Pump a new lease on life. Good for the Water Pump, but not for you,…
I have now, officially, seen everything. Yes, that includes a man eating his own head. And a dog vibe coding games. It turns out that to achieve the latter all you need is a bluetooth keyboard, a Raspberry Pi, a smart pet food dispenser, a few guard rails for your AI model of choice and…
If you’ve been out there utilising cheats to gather up unfair numbers of, you know, toasters and lemons and whatever else it is Arc Raiders tasks you all with collecting, I’ve got bad news. Embark is coming for you like the goddamn Black Death. In an update published yesterday, the studio threw down the gauntlet…
After taking a wee half-year break from Final Fantasy 14, I have been (for better and worse) deep in the no-life trenches since December. I’ve been sucked straight back into the world of bunny girls and perpetual Limsa Lominsa drama—the kind I dutifully observe from the sidelines, of course. Looks like I’m not the only…
