September, particularly its last week, is packed with big releases, and Capcom has seemingly recognized this by adjusting the release date for Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The game was set to launch on September 25, but has been moved up to release during the first week of the month.Onimusha: Way of the Sword will now launch on September 4 – 21 days earlier than planned. Although the game still rubs shoulders with The Blood of Dawnwalker, which arrives on September 3, that’s probably better than when it was launching one day after Control Resonant and Silent Hill: Townfall. We’ve played…
If you’re buying a car with connected car technology, thinking it would help you to recover it in the event of theft, you might want to recalibrate your expectations. A recent incident in the UK, in which a car owner had three tracking devices installed in his car and still couldn’t recover it, led the carmaker to state that connected-car technology isn’t a “certified security vehicle tracker” (via the BBC). So what actually happened here? Ian Fogg, a technology analyst at FDM CCS Insight, had his Kia stolen from outside his home in March 2026. Fogg was abroad when his…

As it turns out, that might be exactly what’s happening on TripAdvisor.

Samsung usually likes to keep its foldables under wraps until launch day. Sure, we get the occasional teaser, but the company rarely spells out what to expect. This year, though, things feel different. Samsung is practically telling everyone that a wider, more pocket-friendly foldable is on the way. It started yesterday when Samsung’s social media channels shared a teaser showing a canvas painting morphing into the number “8” — an obvious nod to the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup, which is expected to take center stage at Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event. The Fold 8 is widely rumored to…
While smartwatches were built to make us more health-conscious and have us reach for our phones less often. I always believed that a second (smaller) screen on your wrist basically can be just as distracting as your smartphone, and the Oppo Watch X3 decided to stop pretending by doubling down on this. The Oppo Watch X3 comes with a dedicated remote control feature that lets me control my phone from my wrist, and I am having way too much fun messing around with it. This sounds ridiculous, but it has also been surprisingly handy. My wrist became a tiny remote…

The company has reportedly told suppliers to prepare around 10 million iPhone Ultra units for 2026, up from earlier estimates of 7 to 8 million. A 30% jump in the build target The raised figure is notable for a first-generation device that has had a complicated road to production.

All three games will be available on PS5 and PS4 and remain available through August 3. A blockbuster with a rocky reputation Modern Warfare III didn’t land well at launch. In our review, we called the campaign unremarkable, and the four-hour…
If you have ever handed your Mac to a friend, family member, or coworker for “just a minute,” you know the mild panic that follows. Sure, your Mac has a lock screen, but once someone is past it, they can open Messages, Photos, Notes, Mail, WhatsApp, and your browser. iPhones had the same issue, but Apple solved it by adding an app lock feature with the iOS 18 update. Sadly, no such feature exists for macOS. That’s where the new FaceGate app for Mac can help you. It’s a free and open-source app that lets you lock apps on your…
