The seventh-generation iPad Air arrives just ten months after the previous model. Last year, the biggest change was the introduction of an all-new 13-inch model. With the latest refresh, the most significant upgrade is the move to the M3 chip. The 2024 iPad Air models have now been discontinued by Apple, but they may still be found refurbished and with third-party resellers for lower prices. As such, some customers may be weighing up whether to buy the 2024 iPad Air or the new 2025 models....

Few games nail crossovers quite like Dead By Daylight. Killers from other IPs are always beautifully recreated, originate from some of the biggest horror franchises around, and bring fresh gameplay experiences with their personal perks. The Survivor crossovers are great too, don’t get me wrong, but slaying out with the Xenomorph from Alien or Pyramid Head from Silent Hill is just next level. While new Killers will always be added to DBD, Behaviour Interactive has just revealed that one iconic ch...

According to the initial action, the CFPB said that customers of the three banks had lost more than $...

“Whoppers” are a subset of aquatic life in Monster Hunter Wilds. Whoppers are really big fish that require a (frustrating) minigame to reel in.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has once again promised to end the province’s $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink after reversing course back in February, according to reporting by the CBC. The reasoning behind this reversal is fairly obvious. The long-threatened Trump tariffs have officially gone into effect, which pops a 25 percent tariff on most Canadian goods and a 10 percent tariff on energy exports. The contract was signed in November of last year and tasked Starlink with providing ...

Monster Hunter Wilds is an unbelievably fussy game when it comes to combat, especially if you’re new.

The League of Legends Hextech Chest drama is perhaps the most explosive backlash I've seen from the game's community in the past five years. It's outdone the much-maligned Sentinels of Light event, and even beaten out the infamous $430 Faker Ahri skin and the seemingly aggressive monetization push that it ushered in. After weeks of flooding the comments with gifs, screenshots, and cursed 'Hextech Chest skins,' Riot has relented and Hextech Chests are back with League of Legends patch 25.05, but ...

Pre-empting a battle with the PS6. As it enters its ninth year, it's fair to say that the Nintendo Switch has been quite the sales hit. Like, 150 million units, third best-selling console of all time, kind of a hit. We've previously heard analysts make the low-hanging fruit prediction that Switch 2's sales numbers might not live up to that of its predecessor, but that doesn't mean that it won't come out of the gates at a full-on sprint — at least, that's what Toyo Securities analyst Hideki Yasud...
