We’ve put together this handy guide on everything we think you should know about Anthem’s Cataclysm event. You will need a combination of Major and Minor Crystals in order to buy many objects on offer at Herschel’s booth. For example, Radiant Burst, a new graphic overlay that will make your Javelin slightly resemble the Thing can only be purchased with four Major Crystals and 300 Minor Crystals.

By exploiting security vulnerabilities in popular internet-connected digital DSLR cameras, hackers could infect them with ransomware to render the devices useless or to deploy other types of malware on larger networks according to new research from Check Point Software. However, Check Point warns that not just this camera but any internet-connected digital camera could be vulnerable to ransomware attacks. The researchers downloaded the firmware for the Canon camera and by using tools from the op

Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony will require video game publishers to disclose drop rates for all games that include loot boxes in order to be released on the big three’s consoles. A loot box (or loot crate) is an in-game feature that sees players spending real money to open an item with further randomized items inside. This would suggest that current games on these platforms, which include loot boxes, will not be required to disclose loot box drop rates. A similar attempt to curb loot boxes in Chi

When Monster Hunter World first released in 2018, I somehow missed the boat. In fact, Iceborne is perhaps the best time for new players (like myself) to jump into Monster Hunter World. I played both the E3 2019 and latest build of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne at a recent event and, while the mechanics can prove difficult to initially get to grips with, I found myself oddly at home in the New World. The Slinger, for example can now be used while your main weapon is drawn, regardless of the weap

The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT has been out for about a month now, and while it’s delivering some great 1440p gaming experiences, the graphics card has a tendency to pump out some noticeably high temperatures. However, in a blog post Team Red released, it details that AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics cards that hit 110 degrees Celsius are operating within specs and are totally fine. Rather than throttling at an average temperature, like most GPUs, the RX 5700 XT will only throttle when the hottest part

A new iPhone 11, one that garners a lot of attention and sales but sticks down the same tried-and-tested routes for Apple… or a less-popular iPhone 11 Pro? The latter has been mentioned online in a recent leak, and it’s got tongues wagging: what would the iPhone 11 Pro look like? The Note is no longer aloneFirstly, let’s examine what the iPhone 11 Pro would be. Apple’s iPhone sales are diminishing at the moment, falling where they were previously in explosive growth.

A fake Apple charging cable has been developed that could allow attackers to trick their way into a victim’s devices. When plugged into a Linux, Mac or Windows computer, and connected via Wi-Fi, the O.MG Cable can give a hacker full control over the system, allowing them to carry out commands remotely.

When Apple announced its plans for a new streaming service called Apple TV Plus, The Morning Show was one of the first titles it announced.

In its newsroom Samsung unveiled a 108MP camera sensor, designed for use in smartphones, and that’s the highest resolution we’ve ever seen in a smartphone camera. One of the highlights of Samsung’s 108MP camera sensor is that it can take in lots of light, so in low-light settings the camera can still take relatively bright 27MP images. Which smartphone will use Samsung’s 108MP camera? Unlike Samsung’s 64MP camera, which was an open playing field, the 108MP sensor seems to have already been promi

He found that the smart speaker, the headphones, and the parametric speaker “were capable of emitting high frequencies that exceeded the average recommended by several academic guidelines”. As well as that, his attack on the smart speaker “generated enough heat to start melting its internal components after four or five minutes, permanently damaging the device”. The

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus are impressive phones, and even if you’re holding out for the Samsung Galaxy S11, they’re still worth paying attention to, as a number of the features and changes found in these handsets could filter through to Samsung’s next S phone.

While there’s been no official announcement about the next season, Black Mirror is now one of Netflix’s hottest properties, alongside the likes of Orange is the New Black or Stranger Things.

Back at Computex 2019 when AMD CEO Lisa Su took the stage to unveil all the Zen 2 processors Team Red would be releasing over the next year, we knew that server processors were on the way – and now they’re here. AMD has unveiled its Epyc processors, and they’re featuring some pretty serious specs. With these server processors, you’ll be able to get up to 64-cores provided you’re willing to drop the $6,950 (about £5,580, AU$9,890) it calls for.
