Updating BIOS is already a pain as is.

And I have to say, I can't see any serious issues at all.

It's very simple, let me just break out this whiteboard.

Apple tested color options for the 2022 MacBook Air redesign that are said to be similar to the finishes planned for its forthcoming low-cost MacBook, according to a Chinese leaker. Apple is expected to announce its rumored low-cost MacBook at an event on March 4, with the device coming in a selection of bold color options that are believed to include yellow, green, and blue – as seen on Apple's invite graphic. In a post on Weibo, the account known as "Instant Digital" says Apple originally plan...

It's Pokemon's 30th anniversary this year, and The Pokemon Company has confirmed the annual Pokemon Presents showcase to celebrate.

This week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified in a landmark social media trial, claiming the company only wanted to make Instagram "useful" and not addictive. In this episode, we chat about Zuck's testimony and the potential implications of this trial for social media companies.

Square Enix's iconoclastic action game NieR: Automata has crossed another big sales milestone, and it sounds like more NieR could finally be on the way.

The Stop Killing Games campaign's organisers are currently awaiting a chat with European Union politicians about server shutdowns rendering online-only games impossible to play. Said chat's been set up by a petition which racked up just under 1.3 million verified signatures at its final count, with that being one of the alleys the group have gone down in pursuit of action against publishers being able to abandon games without leaving a way for them to be kept running. Rather than simply adjustin...

Seven years ago, Cadence of Hyrule showed us a bold future for both Zelda and Nintendo. It's time to pick up where that game left off.

The US State Department is building a web portal, where Europeans and anyone else can see online content banned by their governments, according to Reuters. It was supposed to be launched at Munich Security Conference last month, but some state department officials reportedly voiced their concerns about the project. The portal will be hosted on freedom.gov, which currently just shows the image above. “Freedom is Coming,” the homepage reads. “Information is power. Reclaim your human right to free ...

Nioh 3, the latest game in the samurai Soulslike series, has passed a major sales milestone, making it the fastest-selling entry in the franchise thus far.

Los Angeles County has sued Roblox for "unfair and deceptive business practices," claiming the platform's moderation and age-verification systems are inadequate. "Roblox portrays its platform as a safe and appropriate place for children to play," the complaint states. "In reality, and as Roblox well knows, the design of its platform makes children easy prey for pedophiles."  Representatives accused Roblox of failing to implement adequate platform safety features to prevent child endangerment. "S...

Ubisoft are laying off around 40 people at Ubisoft Toronto, the studio behind the forthcoming remake of the original Splinter Cell. That’s approximately eight percent of the studio headcount. It’s all in the service of Ubisoft’s drive to cut costs after restructuring their operations around a big dollop of Tencent funding, which has elsewhere seen Ubisoft propose to lay off up to 200 people in Paris, and chop fixed costs by €200 million over the next two years.

It’s a big month for Pokémon, with February 27 marking 30 years since the world’s highest-grossing media franchise first introduced itself in the shape of two Game Boy games. Pocket Monsters Red and Pocket Monsters Green, which later arrived in the West as Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue, kicked off a craze in Japan that would soon spread worldwide. And to mark the series’ 30th anniversary, the little turn-based RPGs that started it all are being re-released on Nintendo Switch. Well, sort of. The v...

Catch a Pika. We've seen our fair share of Pikachu plushies over the years (it's only one of the most recognisable faces in media ever, after all), but few have been quite as lifelike as this. Yesterday, Wow! Stuff and RealFX unveiled their latest creation: the Pikachu Puppetronic. As that name suggests, this is a puppet with a traditional hand-controlled design, combined with a fair amount of electronics for even more movement and expression.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are coming to Switch next week to celebrate 30 years of the Pokémon series, alongside a Pokémon Presents broadcast.

Apple has lined up its first event of the year. Already! It’s taking place in New York City on March 4 at 9AM ET, but the company hasn’t confirmed if it will stream the media event. It seems likely the event will be mainly iPads and MacBooks — so business as usual. However, it could include new entry-level MacBooks in a fresh array of colors. I think that’s what everyone’s reading into the lemon-and-lime tinged invitation. I’m very much up for a return of the colorful Mac. The first Mac I ever u...

"Players really liked being ambushed."

We were all hungry for a new soulslike to kick off the year, I guess.

Midsummer Studios is closing its doors, and I'm surprised to learn its 'Sims meets a sitcom' life game was leaning heavily on AI.

Embark are continuing their meteorological experiments in extraction shooter Arc Raiders with a rousing injection of wind. There’s a hurricane coming to the game on February 24th, a new map condition that limits visibility, degrades shields, impedes movement, and makes you suck even more at shooting things. Still, this stormcloud has a few silver linings. With the gale at your back, you’ll naturally move a lot faster. Also, you may find it easier to avoid detection in the open if you disable you...

Jake Solomon, a decorated game designer known for his work at Firaxis on games like XCOM and Marvel Midnight Suns, has announced that his studio Midsummer is going to close. In doing so, he also shared a pre-alpha look at the "Life Sims + The Truman Show" game the studio was making, called Burbank.

Ubisoft is laying off 40 employees at its Toronto studio, which is currently working on the company's long-in-the-works Splinter Cell remake.

Following the closure of Bluepoint Games, the team behind the Demon’s Souls remake, Sony has allegedly shut down a Bloodborne fan game.

Start horsing around.

Why you so spooky, AI?

That's a lot of cash.

Bixby isn’t typically part of the conversation when it comes to virtual assistants for mobile devices, but Samsung is clearly hoping that you would use it more. The company has launched the latest version of Bixby with the new One UI 8.5 beta, and it has been tweaked to work as a “conversational agent.” Samsung says you’ll now be able to talk to it and give it tasks using natural language, like how you’d talk to other people or, these days, to chatbots. You don’t have to remember exact commands ...

The ace Luxtorpeda project has expanded, and now it makes it real easy to install the popular MGSHDFix pack for various Metal Gear games on Linux / Steam Deck

Apple is expected to launch a new foldable iPhone this year, based on multiple rumors and credible sources.

Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. Below, we've collated an updated set of key details that have been leaked about Apple's foldable iPhone so far. Apple will allegedly call the device the "‌iPhone‌ Fold," which is the nam...

Season 1's a hit, I'd say.

It feels weird to buy a peripheral in order to play games you don't own. I'm generally very positive about the Nintendo Classics offered through the Nintendo Switch Online membership (and the classic Mega Drive games). I know I'll lose access if I stop subscribing, but it feels like a reasonable fee to get these on top of other benefits. But, just like I have never bought DLC for a game I don't own, I find the idea of needing to buy a peripheral to play the newly added Virtual Boy games a little...

Logan Paul’s $16.49 million Pikachu Illustrator is now the most expensive trading card ever sold. Here are the next six highest sales ever.

It's now Omega Strikers developer Odyssey Interactive's turn to lay off staff, with around 50% of the workforce apparently being affected.

Mega Crit just revealed that Slay the Spire 2 is set to arrive in Early Access on March 5, and we're getting 4-player co-op with the launch
