It’s best to assume that nothing you do on a work-issued PC is private. But is there no limit? No breaking point where people start throwing their laptops out of windows and joining Watch Dogs-esque hacktivist groups? Meta sure seems to be looking for it. Reuters reports that the Facebook, VR, and now AI company…
It cannot be overstated how alien a concept “free-to-play” was just a few hardware generations ago. Long before we’d settled on a label for them, the only notable free-to-play games were browser-based MMOs, early MOBAs based on mods, and Korean games that had few players in the West.

The swooping enemy patterns, the slight delay on your shots, and that delicious risk of letting your fighter get captured so you can come back with a…
Wordle isn’t quite the draw for me it once was. I still play it most days, but I’m not hitting it first thing in the morning and I don’t care about preserving a streak anymore. Sorry, Wordle: the spark is gone. If, like me, you’re on the hunt for a new daily puzzle game, you…
As well as announcing a new object of my affections with the Framework 13 Pro laptop, the eponymous company has done something altogether more unexpected: it’s unveiled a new wireless keyboard. A wireless keyboard with a built-in trackpad, specifically for living room or sim rig use. Not something I had on my 2026 bingo card…
If you play Rust then the mere sight of the words “horse shield” probably have you gnashing your teeth and cursing the cheap no-gooders who rely on it. The whole thing is very simple.
