This week we saw the United States government implement hikes to tech tariffs that are already having flow on effects to the greater industry, including some big players from Japan. The tariffs are set to target products built in lower cost countries like China and Mexico that are then sold in the United States. According…
Wearables have been trying to thread a particularly tricky needle as of late. Though funky chunky hardware will always have its appeal, you ideally want kit that sits on your body to be both reasonably powerful and lightweight. Some smart glasses bulk up their frames in order to stash impressive lenses alongside computational power, while…
Monster Hunter Wilds has barely been out for a week and already it’s dominating the PC gaming world.
