Here are five signs your laptop is struggling to keep up.1. It’s Slower Than EverOne of the clearest signs of an aging laptop is sluggish performance. If…
Fortnite’s Simpsons crossover is officially live now. Fortnite fans had already gathered that a Simpsons-themed season was bound to take over the Battle Royale once Chapter 6 ended. A couple of months ago, dataminers dug into the files and shared this rumor with the community, and it didn’t take long for more concise leaks to appear and official teasers to surface. A few days prior to the end of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, Epic Games confirmed that The Simpsons and Fortnite would be joining forces next season. Leaks had already given players some idea of what they could expect…

China has a clear lead on electric vehicle technology, batteries and production and sales numbers. However, it’s not as far ahead when it comes to driverless taxis. Just like in the United States, there are three major robotaxi players that are slowly expanding their reach and fleets, with one company far ahead of the others. In China, that’s Baidu’s Apollo Go (launched in 2019), whose operation is comparable in scale and breadth to the U.S. robotaxi leader, Waymo. But while their operations might be similarly sized, they cover a lot more cities in China. One Reuters report from December 2024…
On Thursday, at the end of Coinbase’s third quarter earnings call, CEO Brian Armstrong admitted that he was “a little bit distracted,” because he’d been “tracking the prediction market about what Coinbase will say on their next earnings call.” “And I just want to add here the words Bitcoin, Ethereum, Blockchain, Staking, and Web3 to make sure we get those in before the end of the call,” Armstrong added. Why blurt those out without any apparent context? As Armstrong hinted, they were words that users on “mention markets” on Kalshi and Polymarket had wagered would be spoken on the call.…

But every new generation of graphics card brings that question: should you upgrade? NVIDIA’s RTX 50-series is starting to show up in laptops, and the ASUS TUF A16 I’ve been testing comes with the RTX 5070.On paper, this looks like a dream setup for anyone who wants to game at QHD resolution with ray tracing and all the visual bells and whistles. But how much…
Saints Row 7 is on the cards, according to a developer who worked on the first entry in the long-running series. However, if the project does materialize, it won’t be a direct follow-up to the 2022 Saints Row reboot. The information comes from Chris Stockman, a former design director of Volition, the now-defunct studio previously in charge of the Saints Row franchise. Long before Volition was shut down in 2023, Stockman directed the first Saints Row game, playing a key part in defining the identity of what would turn into a 20-year series. He left Volition half a year after…
Buy a plug-in hybrid and never plug it in, and congratulations: You’ve invented the world’s most complicated way to waste fuel. There’s really no point in buying one if you don’t charge it, and this is a bigger issue than you may think. You’re not going to come close to the manufacturer’s claimed efficiency numbers. It might even use more fuel than the same vehicle with the same engine but without electrification. It’s just not a great idea. That is, unless you’re talking about the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 de, which I tested not too long ago. This diesel-electric mutant shouldn’t…

The AI researchers at Andon Labs — the people who gave Anthropic Claude an office vending machine to run and hilarity ensued — have published the results of a new AI experiment. This time they programmed a vacuum robot with various state-of-the-art LLMs as a way to see how ready LLMs are to be embodied. They told the bot to make itself useful around the office when someone asked it to “pass the butter.” And once again, hilarity ensued. At one point, unable to dock and charge a dwindling battery, one of the LLMs descended into a comedic “doom spiral,”…
