The motherboard is objectively the most frustratingly complicated piece of computer hardware to figure out. Show me an entire GPU generation line-up and I can figure out what I want for my budget in very little time at all. Show me two motherboards and I’ll be umming and ahing for quite some time. At least,…
According to a new report on Korean outlet Dailian, Samsung has announced early results from mass production of its next-gen 2 nm chip node. But the company is only making very modest claims versus its existing 3 nm silicon. Dailian quotes a Samsung report claiming, “the 2nm first-generation gate-all-around (GAA) process has improved performance by…
As of early November, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Capcom’s ogre-stabbing RPG, has hit a new sales milestone, with the company celebrating four million copies shifted. For a niche RPG with a hefty price tag, that’s quite the win. That puts it halfway to matching its predecessor’s lifetime sales, including the sales of its well-received expanded edition,…
If there’s one thing Disney Dreamlight Valley knows how to do well, it’s an expansion. Between A Rift in Time and The Storybook Vale, the worlds brought to life outside of your standard valley have been undeniably enchanting. But after spending time exploring Wishblossom Ranch and meeting its inhabitants, there’s an absolutely unfathomable amount of…
Believe me, I’ve tried to get into VR games. However, my introduction to this arena was PlayStation’s expensive niche-within-a-niche PS VR headsets, making for hardly the best first impression. Still, I’m hopeful the wire-free Steam Frame can rehabilitate virtual reality’s image and make VR games just a bit more accessible. Offering the Android app version…
It’s not every day that I get to review a piece of computing hardware that’s almost specifically designed for me, but that’s exactly what Thermal Grizzly’s Der8enchtable is. Well, it was actually created by Roman ‘der8auer’ Hartung, in conjunction with Jon Sandström of ElmorLabs, to make it easier for them to test motherboards, CPUs, coolers,…
The creator of Linux, Linus Torvalds, sat down for a chat at the Linux Foundation Open Source Summit in South Korea earlier this month to talk about a wide range of topics, including AI in software development, his role within the software ecosystem, and the state of Linux today. When asked whether he’d like to…
Most people would agree that the Hairpin, a suppressed single-action pistol, is far from being one of the best guns in Arc Raiders. In fact, it’s the worst at basically anything other than being remarkably cheap and pretty quiet. I’d bet that most players have either never used it or just once and never again….
I often take the internet for granted. Over the years it’s taken many forms but the underlying technology has mostly remained the same. However, even the very foundation of the internet as we know it was not always a given. To that end, I was recently told about the Protocol Wars of the 1970s, 80s,…
AMD has been teasing us with its next-gen FSR 4 “Redstone” upscaling tech since May. But finally, belatedly, we have a launch date. Redstone will be released on December 10. Huzzah! Now, as we’ve detailed on multiple occasions, FSR 4 Redstone is AMD’s latest AI-enhanced upscaling platform. Broadly speaking, it’s an effort to catch up…
