My favorite PS1 horror game just got an official enhanced PC release
If I ask you to name a horror game from Capcom that heralds from the PS1 era, there's a good chance that you'll name Resident Evil. And why wouldn't you? The series is still getting entries and fan support to this day. However, a handful of people would wistfully reply...
If I ask you to name a horror game from Capcom that heralds from the PS1 era, there's a good chance that you'll name Resident Evil. And why wouldn't you? The series is still getting entries and fan support to this day. However, a handful of people would wistfully reply with "Dino Crisis," the game that didn't make it out of the PS1 era. If you want to revisit this classic horror game, I'm pleased to tell you that Dino Crisis 1 and 2 are now on Good Old Games, and you can buy them right now.

I used the $219 Intel Arc B570 on my 49-inch gaming super ultrawide — here’s how it went
We've extensively covered Intel's woes in the CPU space, but the company is making serious ground with discrete GPUs. I didn't think much of the original A-series Arc launch from Intel. The cards were good value but fell short in-game, largely down to software. Intel fixed this over time and...
We've extensively covered Intel's woes in the CPU space, but the company is making serious ground with discrete GPUs. I didn't think much of the original A-series Arc launch from Intel. The cards were good value but fell short in-game, largely down to software. Intel fixed this over time and now it was time for me to give the Battlemage series a try. After reviewing the Intel B570 on a 4K panel set to 1440p, I decided to see how far I could push this $219 GPU realistically with a 49-inch ultrawide monitor set to 5120x1440. It went better than expected.

Tesla’s next-generation vehicle: all the news about Elon Musk’s next big EV bet
For years, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been promising an affordable electric vehicle, likely priced at $25,000, as a way to broaden the appeal of plug-in vehicles. He first mentioned it in a 2018 interview with YouTuber Marques Brownlee, saying “a $25,000 car, that’s something we can do.” Then in...
For years, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been promising an affordable electric vehicle, likely priced at $25,000, as a way to broaden the appeal of plug-in vehicles.He first mentioned it in a 2018 interview with YouTuber Marques Brownlee, saying “a $25,000 car, that’s something we can do.” Then in 2020, at the company’s first Battery Day event, he speculated that Tesla could eventually produce upward of 20 million of these vehicles in a year — or roughly twice the current production of Toyota, GM, or Volkswagen.Things started to accelerate last year at Tesla’s shareholder event, where the company’s executives spoke about a specialized manufacturing technique that they called the “Unboxed Process.” This breakthrough would allow Tesla to dramatically reduce the cost of manufacturing, enabling it to sell a vehicle at the $25,000 price point.The next-gen vehicle will likely be a crossover or hatchback and could feature design elements lifted from the Tesla Cybertruck. But moreover, it would be the fulfillment of a promise made years ago to make EVs more affordable to the masses.Elon Musk makes a lot of promises, some of which he can’t keep. Let’s hope this isn’t one of them. Tesla will launch unsupervised driving in June, Musk says A cheaper Tesla is back on the menu Elon Musk says Tesla will reveal its robotaxi on August 8th Tesla reportedly abandons plans to make a less expensive $25,000 electric vehicle Tesla’s year-over-year sales dropped for the first time since 2020 Tesla warns of sales growth slowdown as it prepares for next-gen launch in late 2025 Tesla’s new compact crossover is reportedly coming in 2025, but will it cost $25,000? Tesla’s new car-building process could be a huge industrial breakthrough Tesla’s $25,000 ‘next-generation car’ will have a Cybertruck design Elon Musk unveils a new Master Plan, a path to sustainable energy future, but no new cars Tesla’s Elon Musk said a $25,000 electric car with next-gen battery in the works

Tesla will launch unsupervised driving in June, Musk says
Tesla will launch an “unsupervised, no one in the car” robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, in June, Elon Musk said in an earnings call Wednesday. “We just want to put a toe in the water, make sure everything’s okay, put a few more toes in the water, with safety of...
Tesla will launch an “unsupervised, no one in the car” robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, in June, Elon Musk said in an earnings call Wednesday. “We just want to put a toe in the water, make sure everything’s okay, put a few more toes in the water, with safety of the general public and those in the car as a top priority,” Musk said. The vehicles will be part of a fleet owned by Tesla, and not customer’s personal vehicles. (Musk has previously promised Tesla customers would be able to add their own vehicles to a “Tesla Network” for ridehailing.) They will be available for paid trips, and will arrive without anyone behind the wheel, Musk claimed. Over the years, the Tesla CEO has caught a lot of flack for repeatedly promising that fully autonomous vehicles were just one to two years away — and then failing to deliver. Now, the timeline of Musk’s promise has been shorted significantly. “This is not some far off, mythical situation,” Musk said. “It’s literally, you know, five six months away.”In its letter to shareholders, Tesla said its customers have cumulatively driven over 3 billion miles on Full Self-Driving (Supervised) — the company’s advanced driver system — as of January. Tesla says that FSD (Supervised) is a precursor to fully autonomous vehicles, but the company warns customers that they need to continue to pay attention to the road since the system does not make the vehicle autonomous. The company also claims to have increased AI training compute by over 400 percent in 2024. The company recently posted video of dozens of Model 3 and Model Y vehicles driving “without human intervention.” The vehicles have no human safety driver inside them as they are seen driving a 1.2 mile route on Tesla’s private, enclosed factory roads. Musk said that unsupervised Tesla vehicles will soon be operating similarly at its factory in Texas. Teslas now drive themselves from their birthplace at the factory to their designated loading dock lanes without human interventionOne step closer to large-scale unsupervised FSD pic.twitter.com/Aj6dHsLaRO— Tesla AI (@Tesla_AI) January 29, 2025Bloomberg previously reported that Tesla was in conversation with Austin’s autonomous vehicle task force about launching a robotaxi service. To be sure, Tesla’s approach to autonomous driving differs significantly from most other companies. The automaker only uses cameras to power its vehicle’s perception system, and does not utilize lidar as a redundant sensor. The company also releases selective safety statistics that have been criticized for lacking details. And FSD (Supervised) has many shortcomings. It struggles with basic perception issues, like wet roads and sunlight glare. FSD sometimes fails to recognize motorcyclists: a 28-year-old motorcycle owner was killed outside of Seattle earlier this year by a Model S driver who was using the driver-assist feature.Tesla has been testing a robotaxi service with employees in the Bay Area since last year. The vehicles arrive with safety drivers behind the wheel who ready to intervene in case anything goes wrong. Musk has said he expects to roll out a paid ridehailing service in California and Texas starting 2025, pending regulatory approval. Tesla is not currently licensed to operate a commercial autonomous ridehailing service in California. In the call, Musk said he’s “confident” Tesla will release unsupervised FSD in California and additional parts of the US later this year. Musk revealed the company’s sleek Cybercab earlier last year, promising that it would go into production in 2026.

Anyone who's used Windows in recent years has likely heard of Windows PowerShell at some point. This CLI-based scripting tool and terminal has been around for nearly 19 years at this point, and it's a pretty important tool for IT admins and enthusiasts. Scripting helps you automate tasks and get certain things done faster. Plus, for tasks you'd usually do with the Command Prompt, PowerShell can have more human-friendly language.

Ever since I graduated from school, I've stopped taking notes in physical notebooks. I now take notes on my smartphone, tablet, or laptop like most people online. My default note-taker has been Google Keep for years now -- primarily because it came pre-installed on my smartphone a long time back, and I didn't bother looking for third-party options. But, more recently, I learned that there are several apps that offer extra functionality and help you take notes in a better way. This opened up a rabbit hole for me to decipher the best note-taking app out there.

Here’s what the certification logo looks like, which may be used on book covers, spines, and promotional materials.The Authors Guild — one of the largest associations of writers in the US — has launched a new project that allows authors to certify that their book was written by a human, and not generated by artificial intelligence.The Guild says its “Human Authored” certification aims to make it easier for writers to “distinguish their work in increasingly AI-saturated markets,” and that readers have a right to know who (or what) created the books they read. Human Authored certifications will be listed in a public database that anyone can access. The project was first announced back in October in response to a deluge of AI-generated books flooding online marketplaces like Amazon and its Kindle ebook platform.Certification is currently restricted to Authors Guild members and books penned by a single writer, but will expand “in the future” to include books by non-Guild members and multiple authors. Books and other works must be almost entirely written by humans to qualify for a Human Authored mark, with minor exceptions to accommodate things like AI-powered grammar and spell-check applications.“The Human Authored initiative isn’t about rejecting technology — it’s about creating transparency, acknowledging the reader’s desire for human connection, and celebrating the uniquely human elements of storytelling,” guild CEO Mary Rasenberger said in a statement on Wednesday. “Authors can still qualify if they use AI as a tool for spell-checking or research, but the certification connotes that the literary expression itself, with the unique human voice that every author brings to their writing, emanated from the human intellect.”

Vodafone makes ‘world’s first’ satellite video call from a regular phone ahead of 2025 rollout
Vodafone has made what it calls “the world’s first” satellite video call using a standard smartphone, in a test of a system it says will provide mobile broadband service to 4G and 5G phones without dedicated satellite hardware. The service, using satellites from SpaceX rival AST SpaceMobile, is expected to...
Vodafone has made what it calls “the world’s first” satellite video call using a standard smartphone, in a test of a system it says will provide mobile broadband service to 4G and 5G phones without dedicated satellite hardware. The service, using satellites from SpaceX rival AST SpaceMobile, is expected to launch in Europe before the end of 2025.AT&T and Verizon have also cut deals with Texas-based AST SpaceMobile to provide satellite-to-smartphone services across the US. The company has received FCC approval to begin testing its US-based coverage for AT&T this spring, meaning a full rollout is likely to lag behind Europe.Last year SpaceX demonstrated its own Starlink satellite-based video call between two US-based employees using “unmodified mobile phones.” That means Vodafone’s effort may not quite be a world-first, though unlike SpaceX it made the call from a remote area that apparently has no existing cell service.For Vodafone’s demonstration, an engineer (and, charmingly, his dog) made the call to Vodafone CEO Margherita Della Valle from an unnamed “remote mountain region” of Wales which the company says has never had mobile coverage before. The quality isn’t pristine — the video is choppy, with noticeable lag — but the call, which lasts about 45 seconds, does seem stable.Vodafone partnered with AST SpaceMobile for the satellite service, using the five low Earth orbit BlueBird satellites the company has launched so far. The signal is routed through a space-to-land gateway which connects the satellites to Vodafone’s terrestrial network. Vodafone sees it as a “complementary” technology that can plug the gaps in its existing mobile network, covering remote areas including mountains and out at sea. The direct-to-smartphone satellite service is expected to “close the last remaining coverage gaps” in Europe in 2026.AST SpaceMobile’s satellite system connects using standard 4G and 5G signals, so there’s no requirement to use a phone with dedicated satellite components. Beyond video calling, Vodafone says it offers a “full mobile broadband experience,” with peak speeds of up to 120 megabits per second, that “goes beyond other low Earth orbit satellite constellations which have so far only facilitated text messaging.”Satellite connectivity is already available on certain iPhones and Google Pixel phones that include specific modem components, but is mostly limited to emergency alerts, location-sharing, and SMS messages. T-Mobile is beta testing its own US network in partnership with the Starlink Direct-to-Cell service that will also work with standard smartphones, though this will be limited to text messages at first, with calls and data to be added in the future.“Vodafone’s job is to get everyone connected, no matter where they are,” says Della Valle. “We are bringing customers the best network and connecting people who have never had access to mobile communications before. This will help to close the digital divide, supporting people from all corners of Europe to keep in touch with family and friends, or work, as well as ensuring reliable rural connectivity in an emergency.”There’s been no announcement yet about pricing for the service.
