It's April Fools day, which means the long-lasting tradition of fake game news flooding social media is back yet again. This year, alongside the fake reveals and joke announcement, a chocolatey selection of public service announcements have been made - inspired by a real world robbery of 12 tonnes of KitKat goods.

The upcoming low-power processors might not make for the best gaming chips.

TechRadar's Jacob Krol recently sat down with Apple's VP of Platform Architecture Tim Millet and Director of Audio Product Marketing Eric Treski to discuss the AirPods Max 2, including the H2 chip and increased active noise cancellation.

Hekate is a bootloader for custom firmware with a sense of humor, but the jokes are stressing Nintendo Switch pirates out

MindsEye developer Build a Rocket Boy remains so convinced that corporate foul play contributed to the disastrous launch of its debut game that it’s now planning to prove it to its audience via in-game content. In a wide-ranging interview with GamesBeat, BARB CEO and CTO Mark Gerhard said MindsEye will soon receive a multiplayer update, as well as a new mission called Blacklist in which the studio will "share some of the evidence of the sabotage with the community." Gerhard didn’t elaborate furt...

The iPhone 17e and iPhone 17 are among the most affordable iPhones in Apple's current lineup, separated by just $200, but the gap between them is more significant than the price difference alone suggests. The $599 ‌iPhone 17e‌ is Apple's budget-first option, built around the efficient C1X modem and a single-camera system. The $799 ‌iPhone 17‌, meanwhile, represents a substantial update over the iPhone 16, featuring a larger display with ProMotion, a much-improved Ultra Wide camera, a brighter pa...

In iOS, Apple's Audio Zoom feature automatically focuses your iPhone's microphones on whatever you've zoomed in on while recording video. It's great for isolating a subject in a noisy environment, but it can also strip away the ambient sound that can give your footage a broader context. Fortunately, iOS 26.4 adds a dedicated toggle for Audio Zoom so you can decide for yourself when it's truly required. What Is Audio Zoom? Audio Zoom is likely to be most useful if you're recording at a concert, s...

Oh Billy, will you never learn?

Accessory company Alogic has been releasing an increasing number of displays, and the latest model arrives as a 40-inch 5K2K ultrawide model that joins existing 34-inch and 40-inch 4K models in the Edge family. I've been testing out the new 40-inch 5K2K model for the past few months, and I've found it to be a solid display offering major screen real estate for productivity users. As a 40-inch ultrawide display, the Edge 5K is big, and it arrives in a fairly large box, although it is packaged eff...

Say hello to the Canto, your cost-effective Bobcat.

What should have been a routine release has revealed some of the features Anthropic has been working on for Claude Code. As reported by Ars Technica, The Verge and others, after the company released Claude Code's 2.1.88 update on Tuesday, users found it contained a file that exposed the app's source code. Before Anthropic took action to plug the leak, the codebase was uploaded to a public GitHub repository, where it was subsequently copied more than 50,000 times. All told, the entire internet (a...

Robert Kirkman and Simon Racioppa on the Invincible rematch we've all been waiting for

Skip to the end. If you've seen The Super Mario Bros. Movie, then you're probably already aware that it contains not one, but two additional scenes after the credits roll. The question, however, is whether the sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, follows suit with its own post-credits scene. The short answer is yes, so if that will suffice, then stop reading right now and go watch the thing. If you'd like more information, though, then feel free to stick with us. In this guide, we'll go over ju...

If you're feeling anxious about AI and what it means for the future of humanity, you should watch The AI Doc: Or, How I Became an Apocaloptimist. As I noted in my review, the film aims to deliver some clarity amid all the hype. Now that it's in theaters, we sat down with director Daniel Roher, who won an Oscar for his film Navalny, to dive deeper into his complicated feelings around AI. The entire topic made him nervous, Roher said, so he decided to team up with similarly anxious colleagues to d...

There has been a "significant reduction in force."

Stormgate is going offline soon, and it sounds like it'll probably be permanent, although an offline play mode is on the way.

Required equipment includes a 3D printer, a CNC mill, and some guts.

The Mac vs PC debate is as old as the companies that make 'em. But even I can admit Apple silicon is a bit of a beast.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A will now be compatible with Pokémon Home, but there are some limitations in how users can transfer their Pokémon.

Stormgate is set to go offline-only at the end of April, with developers Frost Giant Studios having announced that the server provider for the strategy game's multiplayer modes have decided they no longer want to be a server provider for online games. That's a byproduct of said provider, Hathora, having been taken over by an AI company who plan on using their latest purchase "to work on compute orchestration for AI inference at scale".

Death is not the end.

Today at the New York International Auto Show, Subaru announced its first three-row electric SUV: the Getaway.  Like Subaru's other EVs, the Getaway is based on Toyota's e-TNGA platform and it shares many features and specs with the 2027 Highlander EV. Initially, all models will come with the company's Symmetrical all-wheel drive system, 420 horsepower and a native NACS-compatible charging port. That said, charging speeds don't look especially impressive as the Getaway's estimated 150kW system i...

MindsEye sales are "doubling almost weekly", Build a Rocket Boy CEO Mark Gerhard has claimed, and the game is also apparently "being very well-reviewed".

Apple was founded 50 years ago today, and the company has celebrated the milestone in a variety of ways over the past few weeks, as outlined below. Apple's CEO Tim Cook kicked things off by sharing a letter titled "50 Years of Thinking Different" on Apple's website. The letter touches on the 50th anniversary and says that "the world is moved forward by people who think different." "Think Different" was a famous slogan used by Apple in the late 1990s to early 2000s. "At Apple, we're more focused ...

Good Easter Egg Galaxy. Editor's note: This review is largely spoiler-free, so you won't find any final act reveals or earth-shattering references. However, it does touch on a couple of easter eggs and briefly discusses how characters' relationships have evolved since the first film. If you're sensitive to that information, come back after you've seen it."There's a huge universe out there, with a lot of galaxies.”

Am I so out of touch or is it Nvidia that's wrong?

Despite getting off to a more-than-rocky start, Crimson Desert has racked up a well-deserved sales milestone, completing its redemption arc.

I'd imagine it'll still be keeping some coders busy over the weekend.
