Why does my VPN keep disconnecting?

Engadget icon 186 days, 15 hours, 45 minutes ago by Sam Chapman

If your VPN is repeatedly disconnecting from the server, I recommend dealing with the problem immediately. When you have your kill switch on as good cybersecurity habits dictate, V...

Meta really wants you to believe social media addiction is 'not a real thing'

In both cases, Meta has disputed the idea that social media should be...

Mini Review: Escape From Ever After (Switch) - The Closest We've Yet Come To A Brand-New, Old-School Paper Mario

Once upon a time... While we continue to wait for a true RPG sequel to the early Paper Mario games, many indie developers have attempted to fill the void, and while nobody has quite managed to recapture their magic, Escape from Ever After feels like the closest anyone has gotten yet. It’s got some quirks, but it does a great job of offering an approachable, funny, and brief take on the lighthearted RPG format many fans crave more of. It follows the plight of Flynt Buckler, a fairytale hero who a...

A first-person walk around a foggy Scottish town in the 90s: Silent Hill: Townfall is certainly serious about instilling dread

It's 1996. The weather's crap. You're wandering the streets of a Scottish village that looks deserted aside from some lumbering horrors who seem intent on sticking weird needles into you. No, this isn't the blurb of iconic film Trainspotting, it's the setup for Silent Hill: Townfall.

DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors

A few days ago, a Redditor posted in the community for DoorDash drivers that they received an offer to close a Waymo vehicle’s door. The job paid a guaranteed fee of $6.25 with a $5 extra on top of it after the DoorDasher verifies that it has been completed. Waymo has confirmed to 404Media and TechCrunch that, yes, it is indeed paying Dashers to shut the doors of its self-driving cars. And it makes sense because, well, there’s nobody to do it otherwise if a passenger accidentally leaves it open....

Untitled John Wick Game is a gun fu Baba Yaga brawler, and a weird cousin to Untitled Goose Game until proven otherwise

A goose with your skillset must be able to honk freely, unconstricted. They must be versatile, capable, adaptable. They must be grounded, stable, constant. I believe you are ready, goose. Honk. That isn't quite what Keanu Reeves' talkative tailor says in the reveal trailer for Space Marine 2 devs Saber's Untitled John Wick Game, but it's what I heard. The stubbled and suited hitman's latest journey into videogamedom is touted as an uber-faithful putting of Wick's cinematic martial arts brawling ...
