I’ve had quite the journey with the Obsbot Tiny 3, a real emotional rollercoaster. First was the elation I felt unboxing it (how did they manage to make a webcam so cute?). Then, came the unease after learning the wild price difference between the Obsbot Tiny 3 ($349) and its more budget-friendly sibling, the Tiny…
The Tiny 3 straddles the boundary between the worlds of corporate video conferencing and streaming/content creation. Yet I’m not convinced it fully serves either.How useful are swish AI webcam tricks beyond just distracting your manager at your next meeting? Meanwhile, if you’re dropping $300+ for a webcam with the intent of using it for content…
According to our Harvey’s Crimson Desert preview, Pearl Abyss’ upcoming action-sorta-RPG is quite good indeed. It’s also late. It should have been here, let me check, five years ago? Yep. Crimson Desert was first revealed at 2020’s Game Awards with a proposed release year of 2021. After, ah, whiffing that slightly, it’s now due out…

Long-time Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has been surprisingly candid in a recent chat with Morgan Stanley, highlighting, in as many words, how much the company has to thank both Intel and Apple for. This came in response to a question—well, more of a statement than a question—commenting on Nadella “embracing openness”. For instance, regarding Microsoft’s…
Cats and dogs. Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs. Now we’ve seen everything, etc. Of course, we’ve known about the Intel-Nvidia collab for a while. One big question is whether it will involve Intel actually making Nvidia GPUs in its foundry. For now, it seems not, despite Intel shifting its marketing pitch on the new 18A…
As someone who rarely gets to enter the rarefied airs of the C-suite, my conception of what corporate executives do is roughly this: they issue forth critical misunderstandings of basic things that the people in the trenches then have to operate around and overcome in order to keep their jobs.

When I saw that Elgato’s Wave Link audio mixing software now supports non-Elgato microphones, I got quite excited. I don’t have an Elgato microphone, but I do care about my audio quality on my PC for a range of uses. So let’s see whether it’s worth an install. The Wave Link is a mixer for…
Rustling up a Broken Guidance System in Arc Raiders is one of the final steps in the third Expedition. I can’t say I’m too confident in my Raider’s chances, though, if we’re installing a Broken Guidance System in their transport. Maybe this explains why my last two Raiders haven’t returned home yet? You only need…
