When it comes to streaming and conferencing gear, Elgato is a company I've come to really appreciate. They make some of my favourite streaming gear like great keylights, and are also behind some of the best webcams around. The brand's Facecam line has impressed us since its inception back in 2021 with Elgato's first ever webcam and continues today with the Facecam MK.2 sitting atop our list of beloved cameras....

When Distance released in 2018 it felt like a big deal. It's a grimy sci-fi arcade racer blending the nightmarish vibes of Thumper with the cheerful time-attack moreishness of Trackmania. It's both zen-like and quietly disturbing. It's blisteringly fast, but it has a strange tranquilizing effect. I adore it, and I don't know why people don't talk about it more often.In addition to a long campaign that manages to blend...

Anyone who knows the frustration of having their internet drop out when they walk to that one room in the house has likely heard of a mesh network system. It's fairly new at a consumer level, but essentially it's a wireless network that uses a node infrastructure to cover your area in wireless connection. If you've ever tried a wireless booster back in the day, it's kinda like that, but...

You can't go two steps in the tech space without hearing something about AI. Be it good or bad, AI has a complete stranglehold on the industry with its new and confusing power.To help mitigate some of this confusion, the EU has gathered independant experts together and penned The General-Purpose AI Code of Practice, a document that outlines rules and guides for the industry in complying with the AI Act's...

How much should games cost? We asked that question back in 2017, when the standard big-budget release came in at $60, and even made the case for prices being lowered to $50, or even $40. Some studios got the memo: Helldivers 2 launched at $40, for instance, and Dune 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 arrived at $50. But in spite of our very convincing math and graphs, prices on...

Unless you take curation of your social feeds very seriously, the tidal wave of AI slop images and videos has felt nigh inescapable. More worrying still is how often this crashing tide serves to highlight which of our loved ones struggle to discern AI-generated content from all the slop made by human hands. Even worse still, one can often find oneself fooled by an image spat out by a generative...

Amazon Q, the company's AI coding assistant, reportedly exposed almost one million users to a potential system wipe, and the hacker who did it claims to have exposed the 'security theatre' at the heart of Amazon's system.As reported by Techspot, Amazon Q has an open-source GitHub repository for its code, and this is what the hacker took advantage of. They reportedly gave instructions that, if followed, could delete users' files...

Rematch is great—I've already sunk about 40 hours into the thing and have no intention of stopping anytime soon. Just one small problem, though: the desync issues are still rough. In any given match, there's a chance you'll make a dive towards a ball—only for the fabric of time to hiccup, subjecting you to an avalanche of vicious 'good jobs!' and a wash of unearned shame.Sloclap's already made efforts to...

August is shaping up to be a relatively quiet month when it comes to videogame launches, at least when it comes to brand new diversions. It is, however, a weirdly busy month for remakes and remasters, which seem poised to dominate this part of the summer.I like to pretend I'm above nostalgia, but in truth I'm an absolute sucker for my faves of the past being repackaged and resold to...
