Remember Cambridge Analytica? The British political consultancy operated from 2013-18 and had one mission: to hoover-up the data of Facebook users without their knowledge, then use this personal information to tailor political ads that would in theory sway their voting intentions (for an exorbitant price, of course). When the scandal broke, it was accused of…
Baldur’s Gate 3 companion Gale may be “the Sword Coast’s biggest wife guy,” but he’s also apparently a bit of a touchy sort who will permanently leave your party if you don’t cough up magic items when he asks for one. Not cool! Also not intentional, as it turns out, as the latest Baldur’s Gate…
Everyone in Diablo 4 season 3 will get their very own robot companion that you can equip with all sorts of powerful skills and then modify with “tuning stones”. You can read through a list of these new seasonal items in Blizzard’s blog post, but two of them are left blank and said to be…
My last caller was host to a Boggart, a seven-foot-tall horror that haunts the home and watches you sleep, occasionally breaking out the odd house fire and responding violently when seen. When your house has a Boggart, the only answer is to leave and never speak its name again. It knows when you talk about…
Microsoft’s AI tool Copilot is already part and parcel of Windows 11, but at least it’s free and you have the option to completely ignore it. Copilot Pro, on the other hand, is a subscription service that was originally only available for business users. But now, the software giant is letting anyone get in on…
I really feel like we’re nudging towards the Cyberpunk: 2077-style future where netrunner hackers will basically become wizards, able to explode just about anything with a few lines of rogue code. Okay—the reality may be far more boring, but considering they put DRM in trains a while back I’m crossing my fingers for cyber sorcerers…

Know your QD-OLED from your QLED? And your mini-LED from your microLED? Good, because there’s a new display tech in town, it’s called QDEL and it might just be better than all of them. Digital Trends got some brief eyeball time with the new panel tech, being developed by Sharp, at the CES show. As…
Diablo 4 may still have some fans on the fence but, next to Diablo 3, its launch can only be seen as a rip-roaring success. Diablo 3 arrived mired in controversy over its real-money auction house, always-on requirement, then launched with one of the most infamous bugs in history (Error 37), and an endgame that…
Look, I’m not going to lie to you, this is very stupid. So stupid that it might be very important? No. But it has produced some truly spectacular screenshots, and I’ll be good and goddamned if I don’t gin up some excuse to show them to you. I’m talking, of course, about The Dr Pepper,…
