  • One of the biggest misunderstandings cleared up in the course of the questioning is whether or not the Google Stadia Pro subscription is some kind of ‘Netflix for Games’, as the Google Stadia website makes reference to to “an ever-expanding library of free games.” It absolutely isn’t. “A closer comparison would be like Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus,” Doronichev explains, “The Pro subscribers get 4K/HDR streaming, 5.1 sound, exclusive discounts and access to some free games. Roughly one free

  • CD Projekt Red is trying to appeal to those who want to put the ‘punk’ in Cyberpunk 2077 with the option of playing in ‘hardcore’ mode. In an interview with Wccftech, CD Projekt Red’s Alvin Liu discussed hardcore mode, revealing that it will get rid of the game’s UI to provide a “real challenge” for players. Of course, it’s not just the hardcore players that are being catered to in Cyberpunk 2077; Liu revealed that there will also be modes for those who are less experienced with first person gam

  • With the 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 performance car, I had to find a private road and test out a series of Track Apps, some of which are so fun to use I retested them a few times. It’s a sign of how further customization in cars will work in the future, especially the current age of highly connected cars that go far beyond the basics. You can use these to monitor the car but more importantly to see how far you can push the performance car on a track. Image 1 of 5 (Image credit: Tanner Schaaf

  • We’re not entirely sure what Huawei is working on deep inside its software labs – Ark OS, possibly, or Harmony OS – but the company says the operating system it’s building is being designed for industrial use rather than as a direct Android replacement. That’s as per the state-backed Xinhua news agency, which reports a Huawei executive insisting that Android will continue to run on Android phones for the foreseeable future.

  • Intel has explained how it struggled to bring 10-nanometer processors to market, while also admitting that we won’t see its 7nm chips until 2021. Meanwhile, its competitor AMD has recently released 7nm chips (such as the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X). However, with 10nm out this year and 7nm out by 2021, Intel is hoping it can catch up with Moore’s Law. So it looks like we’ll finally see 10nm chips from Intel this year, while 7nm will have to wait until 2021. That’s a long time considering both AMD and Qua

  • A new Nintendo Switch has been quietly announced, which is claimed to offer better battery life than the original version of the Switch, while sporting the exact same design. The improvement in battery life appears to be substantial, with Nintendo quoting a single charge as lasting between 4.5 and 9 hours.

  • Aftermarket components maker ASRock has pointed out new AMD Navi-based graphics cards with dual-fan designs and out-of-the-box overclocking, HotHardware reports. AMD’s Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT graphics cards are an affordable pair of high-power hardware, but were limited to blower-style designs and factory clock speeds at launch (except the Anniversary Edition). We saw temperatures for the Radeon RX 5700 XT hit 81 degrees Celsius in our testing of the card. This is good news for AMD fans that

  • Leaks and patents have strongly hinted that Sony’s PS5 may be accompanied by an improved PSVR 2 headset, either at launch or later – and a new patent just made public suggest it could track eye movement and head motion. According to one Sony Interactive Entertainment patent (image above), it will enhance immersion by refining what each eye sees – aka ‘parallax images’ – for improved stereoscopic depth. But there are other possibilities for eye-tracking in VR, including alternative control method

  • The Chuwi MiniBook 2-in-1 laptop is an engineering feat but probably not what we’d call a productivity champion. Chuwi sent us the sample and you can only pre-order it from Indiegogo for $430 at the time of writing. The bottom of the Minibook contains a flap that hides an M.2 SSD, four rubber feet and an air grid. Chuwi’s diminutive laptop performed on par with other N4100 device like the Teclast X4 with Geekbench scores that are about half that of the Core i5-8250U (single and multi-core). At $

  • Microsoft’s latest change for Chromium-based Edge – and indeed all Chromium-powered browsers – involves deeper integration with Windows 10. It’s a fairly simple change by all accounts, and one that will improve not just the revamped Edge, but also Google’s Chrome (and other Chromium browsers) when running under Windows 10. Note that this has been implemented in the Canary (early testing) version of Chrome, but not yet in the Canary spin of Chromium-based Edge (although it should be coming soon).

  • The worrying truth is that Microsoft says it has notified almost 10,000 customers that they have either been targeted, or actually compromised, by a nation-state attack. So that represents over 1,500 people who have been hit (or could have been hit) with such cyber-attacks. The majority of these attacks originated in Iran, North Korea and Russia, Microsoft observes.
