I highly recommend these 3 must-play games this weekend across the PS5, Xbox, and PC

Some weekends are for comfort, others are for chaos. This one? A bit of both. Whether it’s revisiting a gaming icon that defined an era, diving into a massively upgraded open-world epic, or trying out this generation’s cult classic title set to leave Game Pass soon, this lineup has range. 1. Tomb Raider I-III Remastered There’s something oddly magical about going back to where it all began, and Tomb Raider I-III Remastered absolutely leans into that feeling. This collection bundles the original adventures of Lara Croft with a fresh coat of paint, letting players toggle between classic visuals and modern…

Microsoft spent years pushing Copilot, but now it says don’t rely on it

For the last couple of years, Microsoft has been all-in on Copilot. It’s literally everywhere, be it Windows, Edge, Office, or even baked into core workflows where you can’t really ignore it. The messaging has been clear: this is the future of productivity, your AI assistant for getting real work done. And now, suddenly, Microsoft is saying… don’t take it too seriously. Microsoft is walking back Copilot’s “serious use” pitch As reported first by Tom’s Hardware, the Microsoft Copilot Terms of Use state that Copilot is intended for “entertainment purposes only” and shouldn’t be relied on for important or high-stakes…

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is a stunner, but it’s two-year old sibling is still kicking it just fine for me

It’s been just over a month since Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 series. As someone who has followed and used Samsung phones for years, this launch felt…familiar. Not bad, just not particularly exciting either. Sure, the Galaxy S26 Ultra brings a few upgrades. The much-talked-about privacy display looks impressive, the battery has seen a slight bump, and the redesigned camera module is definitely easier on the eyes. But beyond these changes, there isn’t much that feels new. Meanwhile, my two-year-old Galaxy S24 Ultra is still holding up perfectly well. It does everything I need without any real compromises. And honestly,…

Apple pulled this AI app… and now it’s suddenly back

Remember those moments when a tech giant throws a curveball, only for the underdog to dodge it with style? That’s exactly what just went down with Anything. For those of you unaware, it’s an AI-powered app builder that lets users whip up mobile and web apps using simple text prompts. Last week, Apple yanked the app from the App Store, citing its usual guideline around code execution and keeping apps “self-contained.” The move felt like part of a broader side-eye toward so-called “vibe coding” tools, where building software is starting to feel as casual as texting a friend. Apple pulled…

I’m not usually someone who gets overly excited about Android skins, but One UI 8.5 genuinely deserves some credit. Samsung has always been strong on customization, and this update takes things a step further in a way that actually feels useful. There are already plenty of ways to tweak how your phone looks and behaves, but now Samsung is refining the experience where it matters most. The Quick Panel, which you probably swipe down dozens of times a day, is getting even more customization options.  What’s new? Samsung is clearly leaning deeper into personalization with the latest QuickStar update. The…

Amazon, hit by war, adds a fuel surcharge that could make shopping expensive for you

A war halfway around the world is about to make your Amazon orders more expensive. Amazon has announced a 3.5% “fuel and logistics-related surcharge” on seller fees. It applies to third-party sellers who use Amazon’s fulfillment services in the US and Canada. According to CNBC, the surcharge kicks in on April 17, and while it’s technically a fee on sellers, not shoppers. But there’s a very good chance you’ll end up paying for it anyway. Why oil prices are surging and how the Iran war is driving this Oil prices have been climbing due to the ongoing conflict involving the…

Your next Android flagship may get a big Gemini Nano 4 boost

Your next Android flagship may get a big Gemini Nano 4 boost, and Google’s already laying the groundwork. In a new developer preview, it’s pushing a faster, more efficient AI model that will power upcoming phones later this year. The idea’s simple. Build apps now using the new Gemma 4 model, and that same code will carry over to supported devices when they arrive. It gives developers a head start while Google fine-tunes performance for real hardware. This matters because AI’s becoming central to flagship phones. These models run locally instead of relying on the cloud, which means quicker responses…
