Razer, best known for its semi-decent, colourful PC peripherals, is attempting to diversify its offerings with the introduction of the company’s first internal PC components. The company recently held its second RazerCon where it showcased what it’s been working on and provided updates on older things, like the Zephyr N95 mask that sold out moments after it was available. The slightly more exciting prospects come with the company’s first foray into internal PC components. For years the company has stuck to making PC and console peripherals usually adorned with the company’s Chroma RGB. That hasn’t changed with these latest products.…

Last night Sony released the trailer for the PC port of the previously PlayStation exclusive game God of War. This confirms the rumours that started after a leak surfaced from an Nvidia GeForce Now server, which revealed a page for the title. The game was released in 2018 with overwhelmingly positive reviews, not only for its visuals but also for its storytelling and gameplay. Hopefully, the PC port faithfully translates all of that from the console version. There’s no reason not to. With the included support for Nvidia’s AI-driven Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) and support for 4K displays as…

The Jabra Elite Active 75t marks yet another true wireless earbud option. Is it just us, or is the market starting to feel a little saturated? If it isn’t the seemingly endless supply of cheap AirPod knock-offs, its companies re-releasing the same earbuds with minor changes under the guise that they’re ‘all new’. That is just what Jabra has done with the Elite Active 75t earbuds. That being said, in this case, they’ve re-released some great-sounding, snug-fitting earbuds, but are they worth the price increase? As you might’ve guessed from the ‘active’ in the name, these are geared primarily towards…

Streaming giant Netflix will be increasing the local price of two of its subscription tiers starting immediately. According to TechCentral, the price of the standard plan will increase from R140p/m to R160p/m and the premium plan will increase from R170p/m to R200p/m. The price of the mobile and basic plan will remain the same at R50p/m and R100p/m respectively. While these increases may seem like a lot on paper, a nearly 15% and 20% increase for the standard and premium plans respectively, Netflix still manages to bring a great value proposition to the table.  Netflix is hot and it knows…

Apple has revealed the next member of their AirPod family, the AirPods third generation. These new pods have received updates across the board, but not so much that they overtake the AirPod Pros. Apple has redesigned the third generation of AirPods to “bring the music right to your ears”, as opposed to before when the music only came halfway. Despite some rumours, we won’t be seeing silicon tips, those are only for the pros. Apple has also included more touch sensors in the stems for more control. The internal drivers have also been redesigned, although the difference will need to…

The McDonald’s McPlant could arrive on your plates soon McDonald’s began rolling out its new plant-based burger to a few restaurants in the US, according to CNBC via The Verge.

There’s been a bit of fuss made about spyware recently. If you don’t know, it’s software that installs itself on your PC or phone and monitors your device usage or even captures your keypresses without you being aware. It doesn’t sound like a good time, right? Unfortunately, there are some people who do not share the reverence of privacy as we do. And if there’s a market for it, there’s probably an app for that market.  It’s for that reason that Google has had to recently remove a host of ads promoting consumer-grade spyware apps on the Play Store.
