With the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, Apple switched back to an aluminum frame owing to the material’s better thermal conductivity and lightweight nature. While this practical change makes sense, the aluminum is softer than titanium, which also means it shows damage more readily. Drop it from a decent height onto a hard surface, and it will show. But here’s the thing. Aluminum is also much more forgiving to repair. Unlike titanium, it responds well to skilled hands, and Chinese repair shops are making the most of this fact, doing some crazy repairs. Can scratched iPhones really look factory-fresh…
Samsung has quietly updated the Galaxy Z TriFold’s product page with a message: the company’s first tri-folding phone is now completely sold out with no restock in sight. If you were hoping to get one sometime in the future, perhaps when the phone goes on sale, it’s time to let go. “The limited-run Galaxy Z TriFold is now completely sold out,” an updated message on the Galaxy Z TriFold’s landing page says. The message also asks people to keep visiting Samsung’s website for “one-of-a-kind innovations” and shop for other foldables or mobile devices. Why did Samsung pull the plug so…
After years of teasers and delays, Mouse: P.I. For Hire finally launched yesterday, and according to our contributing reviewer, Billy Givens, it was worth the wait. Combining a noir story with classic rubber hose animation (think Steamboat Willie) and the mechanics of a boomer shooter (think Doom), Mouse’s unique style really stands out. But how does it play? Here’s an excerpt from Billy’s review:”With its black-and-white rubber hose animation, lively jazz soundtrack, and gripping detective noir setting, Mouse: P.I. For Hire serves up a refreshing 1930s-inspired experience in the seedy city of Mouseburg – a name that makes perfect sense…
Sony currently has the PlayStation 5 selling well and the PlayStation 5 Pro available for those who want the most powerful console, but what about the PlayStation 6? Initially, the next-generation console was rumored to launch in 2027 (later in the year), but the ongoing memory crisis seems to have pushed the launch further, not just by months, but by years. As of April 2026, enthusiasts are more concerned about when the PlayStation 6 will actually arrive and how much more it will cost than the already-hiked PlayStation 5 prices, than how powerful it will be or what features it…

Apple is often the first to the starting line when it comes to shrinking silicon, and its partnership with TSMC is a key reason behind that lead. While we are currently settling into the 2nm era, the roadmap for what comes next is already coming into focus. A new report reveals TSMC is eyeing the sub-1nm milestone with a target for trial production as early as 2029. TSMC’s silicon roadmap leading to sub-1nm chips According to DigiTimes, the move to sub-1nm won’t be a single leap. Following the successful start of 2nm mass production late last year, TSMC is already…
If you haven’t watched NoClip’s excellent two-part documentary about Digital Extremes’ sci-fi MMO shooter, Warframe, I highly recommend doing so. For the purpose of this story, that documentary is a great primer for the struggles the studio endured leading up to the launch of Warframe. But now, more than a decade and some change later, Warframe is still kicking, breaking its own playercount records as recently as last year.The secret to that success, and the success Digital Extremes has found thus far with Soulframe, is keeping the amount of public scrutiny as high as possible, according to Digital Extremes CEO Steve Sinclair,…

Tesla is putting unusual limits on some of its most expensive cars. Buyers invited to purchase the Signature Edition Model S and Model X have to agree not to resell them within the first year, and the financial hit for breaking that deal could be severe. The agreement lets Tesla seek $50,000 in liquidated damages, or the full amount from the resale, whichever is higher. It also gives the company a chance to step in before a sale closes, either by repurchasing the vehicle under set terms or by trying to stop a title transfer. That matters because Tesla is…
If you’ve ever wrapped up a long editing session with a stiff back, tight shoulders, and that slow, creeping fatigue that only comes from sitting too long—you’ll understand this immediately. As an editor, my day rarely involves movement. It’s hours of rewriting drafts, scrubbing timelines, reviewing footage frame by frame, and jumping between multiple screens. You start the day upright and focused, but somewhere along the way, posture slips. Your shoulders hunch, your lower back gives up, and before you know it, you’re shifting constantly just to stay comfortable. The problem isn’t just the workload. It’s the chair. And that’s…
