Many years ago, I reviewed the Eero Pro 6E, which was a delightfully easy device to get along with. The hardware was powerful, unobtrusive and fit into my home pretty well, to the point where I had no complaints about living with it. But all of the good was undone by Eero’s constant arm-twisting to get you to pay for its monthly subscription. With an app that exists as little more than an advertisement and with so many basic features paywalled, I couldn’t in all good conscience recommend it. Tha...

If you want to automatically water your crops in Fields of Mistria, you’ll need to get a water sprite statue, which is the game’s equivalent to what similar games would call sprinkler. This is a late-ish game item, added in version 0.13.0, so note that you’ll need quite a handful of resources and story progression...

For the first time in its history of making gaming GPUs, Nvidia hasn’t just dropped the ball, but embarrassingly fumbled it, watched it roll into a drain, and then trodden on a rake for an encore. If there’s one word you could use to describe Nvidia’s approach to gaming GPUs over the last 25 years, it’s “relentless,” but in 2025 you could replace that with “complacent.” Until this year, Nvidia rarely rested on its laurels, and even when it made mistakes (I’m looking at you, GeForce FX and Fermi)...

After taking two years off, Blizzard will bring back Blizzcon in 2026. The publisher's fan convention will take place on September 12 and 13 next year at its usual venue, the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. That means Blizzcon is going ahead a little earlier in the year than usual. For over a decade (save for recent canceled events and an online-only edition), Blizzcon has taken place in November. The first several installments were held in August or October. The 2026 edition w...

Artian weapons are new to Monster Hunter Wilds, offering an endgame grind to keep players chipping away at drops with their desired bonus rolls. For a game packed with weapon types and crafting trees for each, Artian weapons arguably sit at the top of the pile. That’s partially down to their high base stats, but...

Mickey 17 is a dark comedy, not a murder mystery — despite one serial killer flashback. But it made me think fondly about one of the best sci-fi novels of the past decade: Mur Lafferty’s Six Wakes.
