Whether we’re green-teamers, red-teamers, blue-teamers, or no-teamers, PC hardware customisability is one trend I think we can probably all get behind. In which case, I suppose we should all be XFX-teamers because the company’s just opened the doors to a ton of customisability for some of its RX 9070-series cards. As XFX explains on X,…
For my sins, much of the work I’ve published here as part of the hardware team has been typed up using the ultra-low-profile keys of a corporate MacBook. I know, I’ve brought shame to this great house and worse still, as I jab away at my wafer thin Apple slices, there’s hardly a satisfying thock…
In the on-again, off-again saga of TSMC’s supposed designs on Intel’s chip factories, there’s a new twist. Reuters reports that TSMC has pitched Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom with the idea of a joint venture to take control of Intel’s struggling fabs. Immediately, we should point out that the story just a few weeks ago was…
I’ve been waiting patiently for Human Torch to be adjusted ever since he was added alongside The Thing at the beginning of Marvel Rivals Season 1.5. Human Torch is another flying hero who has the ability to launch fireballs at enemies, crash down on other heroes like a meteor, and create fire zones that deal…
Monster Hunter WIlds has cast off more than a few of its shackles to become the most streamlined experience the series has seen, for better or worse. It’s got its downsides, as Lincoln noted in his Monster Hunter Wilds review: “It can feel like a wonder, but it’s not a wonder without a cost. In…
If you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on a new AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT or non-XT, you might want to give it a quick check to make sure there’s no foam tucked between the shroud and heatsink fins. At least, you should do so if you have a Sapphire Pure Radeon RX…
Monster Hunter Wilds is my first MH game—there’s not been a real reason for me to abstain for this long, by all accounts I should be a series fan already, but I’m finally getting my feet wet with monster viscera. I’ve also been struggling a ton with its menus, which are flooded with symbols and…
Word to the wise, you might want to avoid Windows 11 23H2 update KB5050092 (Microsoft sure knows how to name ’em!) for now. Turns out, it can cause USB printers to start spouting pages with random gibberish, sorry “unusual characters”. Obviously, if you’re into the idea of a printergeist animating itself at 3am and graunching…
Gaming laptops are as popular as ever, but one thing that’s still a bit annoying is that the GPU inside is never quite as good as its desktop equivalent, even if they share the same name. Well, one laptop crowdfunding project has a solution to that problem—stuff a full-size GPU into a backpack-sized laptop. This…
Folding screens are one of the pieces of consumer tech that tells me we’re definitely living in the future. Not necessarily the good future, but a future, at least. I’ve been daily driving Samsung’s folding phones for a few years now, and the ability to bend a screen in half to shove a several thousand…
