Monterey Park's city council has moved to ban construction of any data centers within its borders. The California city's leaders placed a permanent ban on these buildings, labelling them a public nuisance. A proposed plan to construct a 250,000 square foot data center was stopped after residents and advocates pushed back against the project.  Tech journalist Brian Merchant reported on the public comment phase of the city council meeting where residents spoke decisively about data centers. "I can...

Last year, Hades 2 left early access, and Mark liked it! He did note, however, that its ending was potentially going to end up polarising, and with the accuracy of The Fates, this came to pass: Supergiant changed the game's true ending a month after its 1.0 launch because enough people didn't like it. This didn't land with universal praise either, for a myriad of reasons, but it stuck, and in a recent interview, the developer's creative director Greg Kasavin shared his thoughts regarding the pro...

The search for signs of life on Mars continues to yield promising data. A first-of-its-kind wet chemistry experiment, published Tuesday in Nature, confirmed the presence of essential ingredients of life preserved in ancient Martian sandstones. The molecules were found inside 3.5-billion-year-old sandstone. NASA's Curiosity rover collected the clay-filled rocks from an area called Glen Torridon, inside Mars' enormous Gale Crater. The rover's Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) mobile instrument suite a...

Bungie has increased the stack sizes of Marathon’s weakest meds, granting free kit players a greater chance of survival out in the field.

The least involving part of any 4X strategy is very often diplomacy with AI civilizations. Even Endless Legend 2, a game with a faction of coral people who can make other people like them by infesting their territory with spores, does settle into a formula. You make friends with other leaders forever or you define them as enemies and obliterate them. Maybe you grease the wheels by offering some minor nation a palmful of glowy rocks in return for passage through their lands. Developers Amplitude ...

The relatively long wait for the third season of Silo is nearly over. Apple TV just announced the dystopian sci-fi hit returns on July 3, with episodes airing each Friday until September 4. We have long championed this show, calling it "another gem" for the platform.

The trailer depicts scenes from both...

Elbowing for attention alongside Vivo and Xiaomi, Oppo has finally launched its long-teased “ultra” version of its flagship smartphone. The Find X9 Ultra is another camera-first smartphone from Oppo, with an even more impressive spec sheet and a new array of accessories. We’re not even halfway through 2026 and we’ve been spoiled with choices, whether it’s the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra (with or without Leica livery) or Vivo’s X300 Ultra. The Find X9 Pro was already a powerful, capable...

Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred is a dramatic end to the Mephisto saga, and while the endgame is the best it's been, I’m unsure where we go next.

Welcome back, cozy gamers, and welcome home to those of you just joining the Palian community on PlayStation 5. First and foremost, I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting Palia since the game launched on PS5 last year. There’s something special about snuggling in on the couch with a cup...

Raiders of the lost Shark. Splatoon Raiders has made a big splash today thanks to a big release date trailer. It's our first proper look at the upcoming Splatoon game, which swaps the focus from online multiplayer to single-player, and it's swimming onto Switch 2 on 23rd July 2026. And, amazingly, this is the first time we've seen more of the game since Nintendo announced it on 10th June 2025 — yep, it really has been 315 days since the initial announcement. Soon you'll tell us the Switch 2 is t...

Roblox is the carcinisation of video games. It is an endpoint that, despite many varying diverging paths, many games ultimately end up at, even if they look noticeably different.

Sony refreshed its earbuds earlier this year, introducing the $330 WF-1000XM6 earbuds to compete with the $249 AirPods Pro 3 that came out last September. We compared Sony's new earbuds with Apple's latest model to see which is better. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. Sony's XM6 earbuds are smaller than the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ because there's no stem, but the in-ear fit is different. The ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ have foam-infused silicone tips that are comfortable to wear for multi...

Xbox is cutting the prices of both Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, effective immediately, but there’s one big caveat. First, the good news: Game Pass Ultimate now costs $23 per month, down from $30. PC Game Pass will now run you $14 a month instead of $16.50. The Xbox team noted in a blog post that prices may vary by region. That’s a smart, much-needed decision. In a memo that leaked last week, new Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma expressed concern over the high price of Game Pass, stating ...

The single most impressive piece of technology I saw at CES this year was LG’s revamped Wallpaper TV, AKA the OLED evo w6. It’s about as thin as a typical pencil, it’s completely wireless and it packs in all of LG’s latest OLED technology, giving it incredibly rich colors and anti-reflective capabilities. We ended up giving the Wallpaper set our best TV of CES 2026 award, simply because it looked so damn good. Now, we finally know how much it costs: LG announced the 77-inch evo w6 will go for $5...
