  • Firstly, Nvidia flatly denied any such strong arming, and secondly, in this new blog post, AMD makes no direct mention of Nvidia at all. Rather than ROG, these AMD GPUs will be branded as Arez going forward. Funnily enough, Asus ROG was the example high-end gaming brand cited in HardOCP’s original investigation. So, it appears that Asus ROG has become an Nvidia-only brand, with AMD seemingly having to rebrand its cards. However, ultimately, there’s no reason why these new alternative brands can’

As the Reddit thread states: “Evidence is pretty light for this, so we’re sti

  • It turns out that Dark Souls isn’t just notoriously difficult to play – it’s proving difficult to port as well. Dark Souls Remastered was originally slated to release on the Nintendo Switch on May 25, but Bandai Namco has announced that it won’t be launched on the Switch until an unspecified date in “summer of 2018” (so July-August). The PS4, Xbox One and PC versions of the remaster, however, will be released on May 25 as planned. At the very least this news shows that developers really do take

  • Some of humanity’s greatest scientific inventions—penicillin, X-rays, pacemakers, the microwave—were all created after researchers accidentally discovered how they could work. Two years ago, Japanese scientists discovered a plastic-eating bacterium that could break down Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics in about six weeks by secreting an enzyme. PET is typically found in plastic bottles and takes 400 years to degrade naturally. Against their wildest expectations, the manipulated enzyme b

  • Even real-life, non-violent robots, like Boston Dynamics’ somersaulting and door-opening robots, are usually designed for two- or four-legged maneuvers. The US Army Research Laboratory announced a joint research project today with the University of Minnesota to design soft, spineless robots for “covert maneuvering” in “highly congested and contested urban environments”. Squid-like robots, like the spineless crawler built by Harvard researchers seen above, have been around for a while. Building b

  • One of the things I’m most proud of in my entire life is how little I panic before a race these days. This year, I know the whole routine from top to bottom: this is the tech I’m going to be using to get me through the race (and some alternatives for those who want something different). But on my other wrist I’m going to be using the Apple Watch 3, with my playlist streaming the whole way though. I know it roughly, and I’ll be using that in the race to make sure I stay strong, but it’s annoying

  • Motorola has offered its biggest tease of the incoming Moto G6 yet. Rumored to launch soon on April 19, the clip shows off several angles of the budget-friendly phone that is looking more high-end than ever. Its front-facing fingerprint sensor makes an appearance, too, as does the dual rear-facing camera system that we saw on the Moto X4. So while the Moto G6 and its Moto G6 Plus and Moto G6 Play may not be top-end in terms of spec, this will likely be Moto’s biggest release of the year. Since t
