The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult on many people, but those that were struggling before we were all locked into our houses have understandably struggled far more. It fell to the Reach for a Dream foundation to try and comfort all those children who needed to deal with the stress and anxiety of the Coronavirus, above and beyond the life-threatening illnesses they faced every day. While Reach for a Dream has a great deal of resources at its disposal, many of the usual procedures it followed to bring joy to desperate children couldn’t be carried out. It’s not like…

Modern smartphones have been made with multi-tasking in mind. There’s seldom a time when you’re jumping between three or four different apps at a moment’s notice which can rather demanding on the device’s RAM. If that’s a problem you’ve encountered then you might want to keep an eye on the Asus ROG Phone 5, a phone (obviously) that’s designed with mobile gaming in mind. But if you’re not all that into Call of Duty: Mobile that doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of the whopping 18GB of LPDDR5 RAM. That’s ridiculous. Most gaming computers don’t have that kind of RAM. To put that…

It’s been a pretty good week for everyone’s internet connections! Well, not everyone but after Openserve announced that it was upgrading everyone’s line speeds for free, Mweb offered a new collection of decently priced deals. The number of happy folks is about to increase even further as Axxess DSL customers are about to upgrade free of charge. Hooray for faster internet! This all links back to the original story of Openserve upgrade line speeds across the board but whether or not individual ISPs would capitalise on improvements and charge customers more was still up in the air. Fortunately for Axxess customers,…

The iPhone 12 could ship with a 1TB storage Realistically, how many memes are you actually storing on your phone? Most smartphones come with around 128GB of storage space and while you could upgrade to a version that has 512GB, you probably don't need much else. If you're actively amassing a collection of Netflix downloads,

Are you the kind of person that takes a great deal of pride in their Twitter account? You’ve got notepads filled with future tweets that you painstakingly craft for all those followers desperately anticipating your latest thoughts. Yet, for all that effort, you’re just not making any cash. Twitter has seen you and has decided that maybe all your hard work should be rewarded. That’s where Super Follows come in, a new feature that allows users to subscribe to Twitter accounts and gain access to a extra content. Super Follows will now enable users to charge their followers an optional…

Who doesn’t love a faster internet connection at a cheaper price? That’s what we in the tech industry call a “Gucci” deal. Mweb has now officially launched its new range of fibre products and packages now that the Openserve upgrades have been finalised and let us tell you, the improvements all around are rather staggering. As reported by Mybroadband, Mweb is rolling out it’s new packages across the board as folks on older ADSL lines are being upgraded free of charge and with no changes to their prices. If anything, it seems like prices have decreased across the board, which is just…

Ever since the great WhatsApp exodus of January 2021, you have to imagine that the development team behind Telegram have worked themselves around the clock to cater to the influx of users that rushed its way. There’s been a fairly consistent stream of updates for Telegram lately and every one adds something cool. Case in point, last night the app was updated to host a mess of new features including auto-deleting messages, expiring invitation links, home screen widgets, unlimited member groups and an improved chat import system. That’s plenty of new features for users to play around with. If you’re…

Nvidia makes some of the best graphics cards on the market and wouldn’t you know it, that high quality has translated into a disgusting amount of money. Who would have guessed? Towards the end of 2020, Nvidia unveiled its new range of GPUs, the GeForce RTX 30 series that blew everyone away. Unfortunately, as amazing as those cards are, they were also difficult to get hold of as the COVID-19 pandemic placed serious strain on Nvidia’s production line. Despite that, it turns out Nvidia ended up selling plenty of GPUs as the company made $5 billion in Q4 last year. That’s…

The premise of Jurassic Park is cool, don’t get us wrong. Yet at the same time I doubt we’d actually want to go there because, well… you’ve seen the movies, right? So the next best thing to get up close and personal with the scaly behemoths of the past is through the power of Augmented Reality, an iPhone, and Sir David Attenborough. We’d ideally prefer if Sir Richard Attenborough could reprise his dinosaur breeding role in Museum Alive but we’ll settle for his equally talented and special brother. Available on iPhone now, Museum Alive is an AR experience that lets you plop a…

When we’re not struggling with Rain’s connections nosediving of a cliff whenever we’re trying to play a game or stream a movie on Netflix, we can at least rest easy knowing that all our private information is safely stored and… oh no, wait. Oh, it turns out that might not be the case anymore as Rain has confirmed that it was recently hit by a rather distressing security breach that has user’s personal data possibly landing into the sweaty palms of some shady cybercriminals. Which is obviously just so excellent. Don’t panic just yet, the hackers weren’t able to access too much…
