After taking way too long in character creation making your perfect Rook in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you’re still left with some tough decisions. Choosing a class is one thing, but then there are six different Factions to decide on as well. Each Faction comes with its own perks, and your choice also alters certain dialogue moments and relationships, as it plays a part in how Rook came to be a part of Varric’s group. While your Faction choice may entirely depend on what you want to role-play as, the perks can affect your gameplay experience depending on your class…

There’s nothing more startling than your PC suddenly locking up and crashing to a Blue Screen of Death. Otherwise known as a Blue Screen, BSOD, or within the walls of Microsoft, a bug check screen, the Blue Screen of Death is as iconic as it is infamous. Blue Screen of Death is not a proper noun, but I’m going to treat it like one. It’s what you were met with during crashes on Intel’s 14th-gen CPUs, and it littered airport terminals during the recent CrowdStrike outage. Everyone knows that a Blue Screen is bad news — tack on “of Death”…

It’s never easy to recommend a foldable phone, especially when you consider the high asking price and the reports of hardware issues that keep eliciting long posts on Reddit. My personal experience also drives this reluctance, even though I’ve been using foldable phones consistently for half a decade now. Early in 2023, the hinge on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 gave up. The phone would no longer open fully. A few days after the problem first manifested, I noticed a glue-like material oozing from the hinge gap. I don’t remember it ever taking a nasty drop or even leaving…

Shares of Qualcomm and Arm Holdings, two chip companies heavily dependent on the smartphone market, gained on Thursday after delivering earnings reports that signaled a tentative comeback in demand. Both companies pointed in their earnings released Wednesday to a resurgence in demand for high-end model devices, though they stopped short of signaling that the broader industry was on solid ground. Their shares were up about two percent n New York trading on Thursday. The return of consumer spending on expensive handsets, particularly in China, helped both companies’ revenue and profit top analysts’ estimates last quarter. Expansion into new areas also shored up…
