AI is most definitely the buzzword of CES 2024, and it seems that no piece of hardware is immune from the coming integration of a whole host of AI features, some with rather dubious usefulness. However, MSI has been showing off its upcoming MEG 321URX QD-OLED display at its demo suite at the Las Vega…
Penicillin. The Moon landing. Wireless telecommunications. These are just a few of the mad grasps for god’s power that humanity has attempted in the last couple of centuries, and now their pantheon is joined by another ludicrous, transcendent venture. A heroic modder has slotted a ladder the height of the actual, genuine, real-life Empire State…
Last week, Baldur’s Gate 3 players on Xbox Series X-S were caught off-guard when their uploaded clips of romance scenes—which include full nudity—were causing them to get banned, something Larian’s said it’s currently working with Microsoft on.

When I wrote my article about Lenovo’s solar and mechanical energy harvesting keeb and mouse combo, I assumed that these devices must somehow gather its mechanical energy charge by the power of typing or the movement of daily use, as this would make some…
I just had a conversation with an in-game NPC that could easily appear scripted. Except it wasn’t, at all. I asked a question, the NPC answered, and all thanks to Nvidia’s ACE technology and Convai. You might have caught sight of Nvidia ACE in action during the company’s Special Address stream. It’s essentially a technology…
