Gabe Newell, the co-founder of Valve Corporation, recently gave an interview to YouTuber Zalkar Saliev. The full interview is yet to surface but a few shorts from the conversation have been released, including one about Newell’s daily routine (“get up, work, go scuba diving“), and his thoughts on why startups chasing VC money makes no…

This robot being tested in China runs frighteningly well 😬 pic.twitter.com/xI8YVqgyNDJuly 11, 2025 Ordinarily, I’m not one to jump on whatever the current social media/viral sensation happens to be this week, but in this case, I’ll make an exception. A poster on Chinese social media site Douyin uploaded a video of a humanoid robot running…

The Galax RTX 5090 D HOF XOC Edition is an interesting graphics card. For a start, as an RTX 5090 D GPU, it’s only available in China. It’s got a ridiculous name, a ridiculous shroud design (is that a literal crown?) and it’s been overbuilt to the nth-degree for overclocking purposes—and now evidence suggests that…

If you were planning on conquering an alien world with a faction of weirdos in August, I’ve got some bad news: Endless Legend 2 has been delayed. Instead of appearing on August 7, Amplitude’s early access 4X is now expected to launch on September 22. Amplitude says the delay will give the team more time…

The Genshin Impact 5.8 codes have arrived, providing some bonus Primogems for anyone wishing on the new or returning characters arriving in the next version update. For those who are new to miHoYo games, the developer hosts a livestream for each of its games every six weeks, running through all the new content, such as…

Asus has been on a tear with its gaming keyboards lately. I’ve tried most of its recent gaming keyboards, from the ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless to the compact Falchion RX, and I’ve liked pretty much every single one. You’d expect me then to shower the ROG Azoth X with the same praise, but…

It’s not just your PC or your phone that’s a potential cybersecurity risk these days, as Google’s recent work uncovering an internet-of-things botnet proves. Researchers working in collaboration with Human Security and Trend Micro revealed the interestingly-named Badbox 2.0 botnet earlier this month, and now Google has confirmed it’s beginning legal action against its perpetrators….

Elden Ring Nightreign has been infested with a few bugs for some time, and I’m not talking about the Sentient Pest. I’ve encountered a couple of issues that prevented teammates from pulling off rezzes, and I’ve even seen one of the map bosses disappear from my sight, despite it clearly still being there and managing…

It feels like, at long last, at least some technology is moving in the direction of repairability. This is no doubt in large part thanks to the public pushing for the right to repair, which has probably encouraged some companies to make popular products that are very upgradeable and repairable (hello, Framework). Still, I was…

Whether you’re keeping tabs on the video games or wider tech world, ‘AI’ is one acronym that can’t be ignored, bringing with it game-changing potential that’s vast, impressive, and maybe a little bit scary. One area in which it’s not scary though is in Samsung’s Galaxy S25 phone, where AI technology is being used for…
