If you’ve got an old Asus router, you might want to check whether it’s needing a firmware update. Asus has just reported that three of its older DSL modem routers have a critical vulnerability, an “authentication bypass vulnerability” that “may allow remote attackers to gain unauthorized access into the affected system.” Asus hasn’t just dropped…

If you’re experiencing déjà vu following Valve’s announcement of a little cubic “Steam Machine”—essentially a PC gaming console—it’s because Valve already announced and launched Steam Machines a decade ago. It didn’t work out so well back then, but this time, I think Valve has a real shot at finally decoupling a respectable chunk of PC…

Finding the Generator Room location is the primary challenge in Arc Raiders‘ Flickering Threat quest, especially as the area usually contains a patrolling Rocketeer who’s more than happy to blast any unsuspecting Raider he catches pondering their map.
