  • Sony has patented a new motion controller design that could be for the PSVR 2. “The sensor support part supports the sensor units so that the distance between adjacent sensor units can be changed.” (Image credit: Sony/WIPO)While this clearly won’t be the PS5 controller, it’s very likely to be the new motion controller for the PSVR 2 – replacing the current Move controllers. Rumors suggest the PSVR 2 may even have eye and movement tracking, although the patent that suggested those features also c

  • Just two weeks after Canon killed off its Irista cloud storage service, it’s launched a new one called image.canon – only this one is a very different beast. Rather than making you fiddle around with SD cards, your camera will apparently do automatic background transfers to image.canon via Wi-Fi. Still, even if you have an older Canon camera, image.canon promises to be a handy replacement to the existing Canon Image Gateway. Canon will be adding Adobe and Google compatibility in June 2020, which

  • Windows 10 is once again experiencing serious issues due to a recent batch of updates – this time the problematic updates are KB4532693 and KB4524244, which were released on ‘Patch Tuesday’, February 11.

Microsoft also released a second update – KB4524244 – for some PCs on Patch Tuesday, and unfortunately that also has been causing p

  • A Geekbench listing for a phone with the model number IN2025 has been spotted by GSMArena, and it mentions the top-end Snapdragon 865 chipset, but lists just 8GB of RAM. Now, 8GB of RAM isn’t bad, but it’s at the very low end for what we’re expecting from flagships in 2020. This could even be the OnePlus 8 ProThe situation could be even worse though, as there’s a chance this is the OnePlus 8 Pro. That theory was backed up by an earlier benchmark showing a phone with the model number IN2023 as ha

  • AMD’s Threadripper 3990X has been breaking world records for CPU performance, and impressing us even before its release, and here’s another major feat achieved by the mighty chip: it can run Crysis just on its own. That means the Threadripper 3990X is capable of playing the game in a system without a graphics card – with no GPU to hand at all – running Crysis in software mode. But the sheer performance grunt and not inconsiderable amount of cores on tap with the 3990X means the processor can mak

  • The Canon Rebel T8i (also known as the EOS 850D outside the US) has just been officially unveiled as the new leader of Canon’s beginner-friendly DSLR lineup, taking the baton from both the Rebel T7i / 800D and EOS 77D. Not a lot from the outside, with the Rebel T8i / EOS 850D very much based on the physical template of its predecessors. So can the Canon Rebel T8i / EOS 850D hold its own in 2020?

  • Canon Selphy printers have always been just a little too big to be considered portable rivals to the likes of the HP Sprocket – but now a tiny version called the Canon Selphy Square QX10 has arrived to print long-lasting souvenirs of your smartphone snaps.

  • MWC 2020 has officially been cancelled due to concerns over the coronavirus. The statement went on to assure that the GSMA and partners still plan to hold Barcelona 2021 and future editions. While more than 30 companies withdrew from the show prior to the GSMA’s ruling, there were still plenty of exhibitors who hadn’t pulled out. Some – such as Huawei and Xiaomi – even went as far as to re-confirm their attendance at the show, while others (such as TCL and ZTE) cancelled their press conferences
