The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has released Bluetooth 6.1 as part of its new bi-annual update schedule. The update introduces Randomized Resolvable Private Address (RPA), a feature designed to enhance both privacy and power efficiency. This new feature makes tracking Bluetooth devices a lot more difficult because it randomizes the timing of device address changes, instead of just using predictable intervals. It also offloads address change operations to the controller device, which s...

So, one year on, let's see what all the fuss is...

Years after the Federal Trade Commission sued Meta in a bid to halt acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, the trial that will shape its future is finally underway. The trial kicked off last month when CEO Mark Zuckerberg took the stand, and it’s expected to last several weeks. Facebook’s 2012 acquisition of Instagram is a central part of the FTC’s case against Meta. The government says Zuckerberg bought Instagram to neutralize it as a competitor. When Instagram’s cofounder and former CEO Kevin...

In addition, the group has been working to give it the ability to control multiple cameras that the glasses would need to be able to function. Gurman previously reported that the company has set aside plans for Mac-tethered augmen...

The map masters who make the madcap map mayhem of Straftat have made more maps for maladjusted mates to mop up their misgivings in machinegunning map-bound mockery. The magnificent maraud 'em up has mustered 37 more maps a mere month after the mapsters mapped a further 35 maps into the multiplayer mix-up, meaning that by my map math the myriad maps now measure 263 - much more than many mainstream grudge match manufacturers may have mapped.

We've found a fantastic gaming keyboard deal for anyone who wants to be at the cutting edge when it comes to features, but doesn't want to pay over the odds. The Glorious GMMK 3 HE 75% currently costs just $125.50 on Amazon right now, but there are limited units left at this price. Finding great deals on the best gaming keyboards isn't easy, especially when many can cost upwards of $200. The Glorious GMMK 3 HE arguably already has a great price even at MSRP, but this deal makes it irresistible. ...

I've been meaning to research the Crusades for a while. A series of vicious medieval religious wars for control of the Holy Land, initiated by the Latin Christian Church following the conquest of Jerusalem by the Rashidun Caliphate, they've become a collection of memes bandied around by today's armchair fascists. See also, "deus vult". I've explored them indirectly in articles about the cultural inheritance of Warhammer 40,000, but never really dipped into any history books or crusader fiction s...

Krafton has outlined how the upcoming Inzoi mod tools will look when they arrive later this month, as game director Hyungjun ‘Kjun’ Kim discusses the updates the team is currently focused on. While the new life game and Sims 4 rival has largely been well-received, with an 81%-positive Steam user rating, its player count has dropped off dramatically, likely as people wait for the early-access game to feel more complete. With that in mind, the introduction of official mod support promises to open ...
