Counter-Strike 2 players could get unceremoniously banned for using Anti-Lag Plus. | Image: Valve Counter-Strike 2 developers strongly warned players in a post that they’ll be banned if they turn on AMD’s Anti-Lag feature for CS2. According to the post, the features from the most recent driver updates are “implemented by detouring engine dll functions,” adding that when AMD updates the drivers, the team will work on “identifying affected users and reversing their ban.” AMD added support for Anti-Lag Plus in CS2 in the Adrenaline Edition version 23.30.1 driver. The feature is exclusive to Radeon RX 7000-series GPUs, so older hardware shouldn’t be affected. We emailed AMD for a statement on the issue. Engadget notes that you can disable the feature by pressing Alt+L, and points out that you can verify the hotkey assignment in AMD... Continue reading…

That's great for using the device, but not every case manufacturer anticipated the switch. Some iPhone 15 Pro cases feature a mute switch cutout instead of a physical button, which isn't a great experience. Luckily, there are some cases that have a physical Action button, and we've rounded them up here. We've curated a list of the best iPhone 15 Pro cases you can buy right now below.

Samsung's new Galaxy Watch 6 is positioned as the everyday smartwatch, slotting in under the more expensive Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. The standard model is available in smaller sizes, has a simple and refined design language, and is intended to just work with the Samsung ecosystem. After testing the Galaxy Watch 6 for over two weeks, I've found it's anything but your everyday smartwatch. It feels light on the wrist, looks great, and has fitness and health technology that might be the best from any company not named Garmin.

If you recently moved from a Windows PC to a new Chromebook, you might have noticed a few key differences.

Mousepads are a crucial addition to any PC setup, but especially gaming because they help you maintain a level of precision and allow for better mouse tracking. This is particularly important in competitive games where having a precise aim is crucial. While mousepads alone are not going to magically make you a better gamer, they definitely help. Having a good feel beneath your mouse can make all the difference.

Consequently, we have now witnessed the debut of 42 different iPhone models (including different size variants), and we will be ranking them based on their impact on the world of smartphones as a whole and their significance for Apple.

This weekend, Logan Paul climbs into the ring to go toe-to-toe with Dillon Danis. The fight promises to be a brawler, as the tension between these two influencers is off the scale. During the pre-fight press conference, the two got into a scuffle that ended up with Danis smashing Paul in the face with his microphone.
