This is it, unambiguously my Computex highlight and also a genuine surprise. I give you the Alienware AW3926QW in all its 39-inch OLED, 5K2K, RGB-stripe, remarkably priced glory. This isn’t actually the first 39-inch 5K2K OLED on the market. Actually, I’ve already reviewed one, the LG Ultragear 45GX950A, and it actually disappointed a little. That…
We reported on the booing of a speaker at the University of Central Florida last week, after they declared AI to be “the next industrial revolution” in front of the assembled students. However, that’s nothing compared to the absolute barracking ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt received when speaking at the University of Arizona’s 2026 commencement ceremony…
Erik Wolpaw’s first encounter with computer gaming was on a TRS-80 in his high-school library. “It was one of the Scott Adams adventures. I don’t remember the exact name, but it’s the haunted mansion one,” Wolpaw says. “They are very crude at this point, but at the time I couldn’t believe it, and that was…
Pasokon Retro is our regular look back at the early years of Japanese PC gaming, encompassing everything from specialist ’80s computers to the happy days of Windows XP. Astarion, Gale, Shadowheart, and Lae’zel have just infiltrated a goblin camp not too far outside a peaceful settlement filled with people to chat with, optionally recruit, and take…
Snap some pics. Earlier this month, Level-5 announced that Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time would be treated to a Photo Mode in an upcoming July update. Rather unsurprisingly — given that today is the 31st July and all — the dev has revealed that the update has been pushed back to next…
A BBC report says that the 18-year-old hacker who was found responsible for committing a series of attacks on tech firms that included the theft and leak of Grand Theft Auto 6 footage in 2022 has been sentenced to an indefinite period in a secure hospital. Arion Kurtaj was found responsible for the attacks on…
Radiators. Radiators everywhere. Thermaltake announced the arrival of three cube-shaped cases today, which are notable for having a ridiculous number of fan mounts, given their compact size. The three models are dubbed the Core X1, Core X2, and Core X9 (we’re afraid to ask what happened to Cores 3-8), distinguished by their sizing for mini-ITX,…
A new declaration from all 27 EU member states lays out an “urgent need” for a new and improved EU Chips Act. Essentially, Europe feels like it’s fallen behind in chip production and design, and it would like to see a concerted effort from the European Commission to regain ground. “To secure and strengthen our…
Not sure about you, but I’m still wrapping my head around the nuances of AMD’s FSR 4 and FSR Redstone upscaling platforms. But never mind, because here comes a whole new one, FSR Diamond, announced yesterday by AMD’s consumer computing boss, Jack Huynh. Ostensibly, this one is specifically for Xbox rather than the PC. But…
Shoot for the stars! Matt Sephton (the developer of Playdate titles such as Circular, Sparrow Solitaire, and Bender) has just released their latest game for Panic’s tiny handheld device. And it looks to be right up our street. Named YOYOZO, the game is a loving homage to Cano-Lab’s 1999 cult classic Pendulumania. This was a…
