The new British Automotive Festival Series has begun in Forza Horizon 6, and that means some new regular challenges. This week’s Ito Treasure Hunt has you searching for a chest in a pretty hard-to-locate field, with few landmarks to gauge its location except a house in the background and a mountain. However, if you want…
For those who’ve been sleeping under a cool, mossy rock for the last while, TSMC is the biggest semiconductor manufacturer in the world. You can imagine how well they’ve been doing as the AI industry races to build more and more data centres—but you also don’t need to imagine because the official numbers are in,…
According to niche mouse maker Finalmouse, its new hybrid mechanical-optical Starlight X mouse has faster clicks than any other it’s tested, including the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike. “At the centre of SLX is an entirely new TMR DS analogue click architecture…. The result is not simply the fastest click latency we’ve ever produced, SLX…
DLSS 5 has been a contentious ol’ bit of tech, but with it launching in NBA 2K27, it’s finally in actual games and not just in a ton of ReShade modded games. If, for some reason, you just really love the look, it turns out you can apply it to your entire desktop too, with…
I came to Onimusha: Way of the Sword for the sick samurai action, but I stayed for the surprisingly engaging, funny, and heartfelt storytelling. Musashi Miyamoto has made it into my top five all-time favourite protagonists, but the great character development doesn’t just stop with him: Shizuka Gozen, Dokyo, and Sasaki Ganryu all deserve their…
Blizzard Entertainment’s union—in conjunction with the Communications Workers of America (CWA)—has just signed a landmark contract with the studio to, among other things, force it to “discuss, evaluate, and bargain” any time it wants to introduce generative AI in the workplace. As explained on the CWA website, this contract has been in the works for…
At the back end of 2025, Nvidia secured its biggest ever deal, a $20 billion non-exclusive agreement with AI chip company Groq. Now, as reported by the New York Times, per “two people with knowledge of the inquiry”, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is probing to discover whether the deal was organised in a way…
While I’ve largely enjoyed any time I’ve dipped a toe into virtual reality, I definitely do not own a VR headset. As cool as the tech is, that hardware remains an expensive niche within the increasingly pricey PC gaming landscape. Global VR headset shipments apparently declined by 18% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026,…
Last week, Google announced (via HKEPC) that it managed to fully map the brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly into 3D neural shapes. As you might expect, it took approximately three seconds flat for software engineers to try and get it to play Doom. Google reports that scientists and researchers…
Three months ago, Corsair announced the TC80 gaming chair. At the time, I was pretty excited for it, because it (A) strips back the overly-gamefied stylings and (B) is, according to Corsair, “affordable.” Back then we didn’t have the price, but now we do. It’s going to cost just $200/£170/€180, though this is “subject to…
