ArsTechnica: When graphic design platform-provider Canva bought the Affinity image-editing and publishing apps early last year, we had some major questions about how the companies' priorities and products would mesh. How would Canva serve the users who preferred Affinity's perpetually licensed apps to Adobe's subscription-only software suite? And how would Affinity's strong stance against generative AI be reconciled with Canva's embrace of those technologies. This week, Canva gave us definitive... Read more ›

Almost exactly a month ago, I wrote an article for theverge.com pointing out that the T1 Phone 8002 (gold version) — a.k.a. the Trump phone — had missed its promised release date. Now here I am again, because the phone still hasn’t come out. In case you’ve forgotten, the T1 is a very gold mid-range Android […] Read more ›

Already under intense scrutiny for alleged ties to China, TP-Link, a now-U.S.-based and operated company is on the verge of being banned. In a new proposal concocted by the Department of Commerce, and backed by the Department of Justice, Defense and Homeland Security, TP-Link routers might no longer be allowed to be sold in America.

For a year, on and off, I've been thinking about Dragon Age: The Veilguard. More specifically, I've been thinking about my Dragon Age: The Veilguard review - the five-star review I wrote for Eurogamer. It plagues me. Because to be blunt, I'm not happy with how it sits. I don't think The Veilguard is a five-star game and definitely don't think it's BioWare's best game. To have suggested such a... Read more ›

AMD ended mainstream driver support for its RDNA 1 and 2 GPUs in a new update that sought to focus on the RX 7000 and 9000 series for day-one optimizations for new releases. This could mean trouble for handhelds that rely on tuning to achieve their full potential on Windows, and without AMD's driver to back them up, they might be left high and dry. Read more ›

I’d argue that there was probably no greater poisoned chalice in games than taking on the job of remaking Final Fantasy 7. Hyped for years before it was announced, its reveal part of the so-called ‘E3 of dreams’, and it is of course a reimagining of one of the most important and beloved role-playing games of all time. Even if it was brilliant, there would inevitably be grousing from some... Read more ›
