  • As great as YouTube is as a content platform, its comments section is, to put it mildly, far less highly regarded – for every positive or insightful comment found under any given video, you often find dozens of nasty, inappropriate or idiotic ones. Google has long been aware of the problem, and has started investigating ways of combating the ugly comments and relentless ‘hold my beer’ memes that have come to plague the service’s comment section. As reported by XDA Developers, YouTube’s latest te

  • Huawei has told TechRadar that it is planning future software upgrades for 16 of its current devices – which would include the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro Android Q update many are already clamoring for. “Our most popular current devices, including the P30 series, will be able to access Android Q.” That could just be a translation issue, and means that the over the air upgrade to Android Q will land as expected for all Huawei’s top phones. However, even if it is locked out of Google’s updates, like a

  • We recently heard a rumor that up to five AMD Navi graphics cards would come to market, via a leaked certification. Well, it looks like that may be true, if recent code spotted in a Linux driver update is any indication. Luckily, there are screenshots, which hint at four new Navi GPUs, one of which is labeled as “NV_Unknown” – spooky. We could see something like a Radeon RX 5800 series occupying the high end. But might AMD replace its existing AMD Radeon VII with a Navi GPU?

  • We all love revisiting classic music videos from time to time, but it’s safe to say that many older clips don’t hold up quite as well as they should – largely due to being made for TV viewing in the standard definition era. YouTube and Universal Music Group (UMG) apparently feel the same way, with the two companies having today announced a plan to give 1,000 iconic videos the full remastering treatment by the year 2020. Of course, there’s only so much that can be done with a music video that’s n

  • Imagine a world where Fortnite didn’t exist: millions of gamers wouldn’t have enjoyed millions of hours (or spent millions of V-bucks) battling to survive on the island. Former Epic games production director Rod Fergusson recently told the Game Informer Show podcast that he “tried to cancel Fortnite” before he moved on to his current job at The Coalition (the Gears of War developer). It’s likely we wouldn’t have seen new battle royale games like Apex Legends, which EA launched to huge player num

In a similar fashion to previous Dr Mario games, this mobile iteration will see you playing a puzzle title where you pull capsules up against viruses to match three in a row.

  • But why, for the most part, can’t you find these products in your local Walmart or John Lewis? And why would TCL bother to make TVs that, for now at least, have little chance of making it into Western showrooms? (You can still buy the Uppleva wall mount from Ikea’s website, but the TV is nowhere to be found.) Back in 2014, TCL also showed off a seismic 110-inch curved television, named the China Star , which even today seems hugely excessive both in size and scope. Abreu puts down the difficulty

  • It’s not easy launching a foldable phone in 2019, as Samsung is quickly finding out: the latest reports from Asia suggest that its innovative Galaxy Fold handset won’t be going on sale until August. That means the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 might be out and available to buy before the folding handset that we first saw demoed back in February.
