Look, I’m not even going to mess around with a creative intro on this one. The world’s largest zip manufacturer, YKK, has made a remote-controlled, motorised, self-propelled zip, and it’s glorious. See how it connects a pair of 16-foot membrane sheets together in seconds (via The Verge). Marvel at it zipping up two halves of…
Build a base with friends on an alien planet. Is it just me or do we ring in each new gaming year with a smash-hit co-op game, usually one that’s pretty reasonably priced? Maybe it’s that January arrives to see us flush with holiday cash and looking to link up with friends instead of spending…

While Arc Raiders doesn’t have traditional extraction shooter wipes like Escape from Tarkov, it’s not ignoring those who like this kind of ‘back to basics’ gameplay loop. This is where the Expedition system comes in, letting you reset much of your progress for extra benefits, similar to prestige mode in Call of Duty. With such…
You’d be forgiven for forgetting about the League of Legends MMO in development at Riot Games. More than five years after it was first revealed, it still remains the stuff of imagination: It’s been three years since Greg Street, the then-VP who announced the project, left Riot, and two years since Riot “reset” development, and…

There’s a tradeoff that comes with gaming headsets that are labelled ‘lightweight’ or ‘breathable’. In order to get those low weights, they often have to do away with some of the rigidity you might traditionally expect, and this can lead to them feeling flimsy. Logitech’s G522 Lightspeed is almost certainly a lightweight breathable headset, but…
Getting to the root of the problem Several of Seagate’s wireless hard disk drives (HDDs) contain multiple vulnerabilities, including “undocumented Telnet services” that hackers could access by using the default credentials of “root” for the username and password of a built-in user account, Cert.org reports.
