In a world filled with technology, it’s really easy to get caught up in messages, notifications, working from wherever, and just generally being busy. It’s difficult to remember to take some time for yourself but the Moment Pebble hopes to encourage you to do just that. This little gadget might look like the most pointless thing since the Pet Rock (Down Fluffy! Stop hitting the nice man!) but it could be just the break you need from your frantic modern life.
We might have first seen it around 1 April but upcoming DC series Swamp Thing is no joke. The first teaser video for the swamp monster-featuring show has dropped and it’s looking a whole lot like traditional horror fare. Suitably DC-flavoured, so there’s grit, grime, and (probably) mothers named Martha everywhere.
Dadabots is a musical project that uses a neural network to produce music. Heavy music. Death metal, if you want to put a label on it, though we’d add that there’s some grindcore and a whole mess of machine-gun bass.
As much as it hurts to see this P30 Pro teardown, that’s something that we — and you — should probably watch. Because Huawei’s put some pretty high-end stuff in there. Like its Periscope camera.
We’ve been expecting something to turn up for a while and now it looks as though the cat may be out of the bag. Images of what appears to be Microsoft’s disc-less console have turned up online, giving us some idea of what the console — known as the Xbox One S All Digital — could look like.
So you want to get your hands on a Forza game but don’t want to pay for it? Funny thing, Microsoft’s just made that happen with the launch of Forza Street, a new free-to-play racing title for Windows 10, Android and iOS. The desktop version of the game? Yeah, that’s available now.
Two-factor authentication is a service that keeps your online accounts and services a whole lot safer than they would be otherwise. Why else would you lock down a Steam account using Steam Guard, a Blizzard account with Blizzard Authenticator, an Xbox Live account with whichever notification system from Microsoft annoys you the least? Shouldn’t your more business-y accounts have the same protection? Google thinks so.
We’ve been expecting a late 2019 launch for Disney’s own streaming service, Disney+, for quite some time. Now Disney has made it official, with the service officially launching on 12 November this year. As for pricing, it’s going to cost just $6.99 (about R100) a month. But, before you get too excited, that launch date and pricing hasn’t been announced for South Africa. Yet.
If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll notice that mobile gaming is ramping up. And not just the Candy Crush sort of game, either. Full-fledged console games, custom stores, and battle royale are all more prominent than ever. But to actually play high-end titles, you need a high-end phone. Because high-end processors. Qualcomm’s looking to change that, a little, with the Snapdragon 730G.
