It’s not that often that we get to play a South African-made video game. There are a few notable ones out there — Semblance, Stasis, Broforce and, for the truly old-school, Toxic Bunny. Boet Fighter’s attempting to muscle its way onto this list and… honestly, it can have the slot
Looks as though Huawei and the American government are still working things out. Why don’t they think of the kids? You know, the folks who just want working Android on a smartphone with very high-end hardware? But no, this drawn-out divorce continues, with the American government giving Huawei another 90 days to sell things to American companies. And giving American companies the chance to buy things from Huawei. So much for two weeks Contrary to reports yesterday, Huawei’s getting more than two weeks reprieve. Rather, it’s a full 90-day delay… again. This is the third such extension for the Chinese…
It’s safe to say that we’ve been waiting for WhatsApp to roll out Dark Mode for… well, for ages. All the signs point towards Dark Mode being a thing rather soon, as the newest WhatsApp beta has more darkness than ever before. Hello darkness, my new friend The folks over at Android Police were the first to spot the new endarkened sections of the popular messaging app. The changes are visible in the current WhatsApp beta (v2.19.331 — there’s an APK download at the link above, if you’re feeling impatient). The splash screen and home-screen widget have been responding to…
Isn’t it maddening when you’re just trying to do your job and there’s only one roadblock — someone else not doing theirs? That may be how Huawei feels, as the Chinese tech giant still doesn’t have a clear idea what its fate is concerning Android, and licensing of tech from American companies
We’re pretty sure that noted British lunatic/superhero Colin Furze has some sort of secret underground shed where he makes all sorts of creative weapons of mass destruction. And that his ‘projects’ are funded by his relatively normal stuff. Like this RIP-Tire, normally wielded by Overwatch’s Junkrat.
We’ve been following the re-re-re-re-release of the Motorola Razr, suitably updated for 2019, for some time. It’s long since time for something official to turn up and that’s just what’s happened. The Motorola Razr is official, it’s expensive, and it’s gonna be awesome. Maybe. If it gets here which, sadly, it may not. As expected The big drawcard with the new Razr is the 6.2in display. It’s a single screen, as we’ve seen with other folding smartphones, capable of folding in half. Which is just as well, because it preserves the old form factor that folks just seem to love.…
First Apple, the Facebook, now Google. It seems like all the big players are doing it. No, not horrible things with your personal data (though that’s also happening). Nope, Google’s got designs on more money than it already has, with plans to open bank accounts from 2020.
Usually by this time of the year all the really major international tech news is done. But we keep seeing more product launches and they’re not making years any longer. That might explain why we may see a new Apple launch later today. Bloomberg reports that Apple may reveal its new 16in MacBook Pro as soon as this evening.
We all know that one person who’s a little too keen on curating their beard/plaid/coffee/craft beer/odd clothing/bands you’ve never heard of/vinyl collection. It’s the last item on this hipster activity list that really concerns us today, what with the Phonocut’s crowdfunding campaign drawing to a close.
We’ve been following along with Samsung and Xiaomi’s plans to bring a massive 108MP camera sensor to smartphones. The hardware is real and will be appearing in the China-only Xiaomi CC9 Pro smartphone. But that’s not where it will stay.
