While tech giants remain locked in a relentless arms race to shove generative AI into every conceivable aspect of your life, the team behind the open-source office suite LibreOffice is taking the opposite approach. The Document Foundation today released LibreOffice 26.8 for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and instead of clogging up your toolbars with unnecessary chatbots or sending your documents off to cloud services, the update focuses entirely on fundamental, high-impact improvements for core office tasks. Practical features aimed at improving your workflow The standout addition in LibreOffice 26.8 is a new text layout algorithm for Writer called the Paragraph…

Firstly, I admit my headline is hyperbolic. Best and worst are subjective and neither word is fully applicable when it comes to Elden Ring on Switch 2. The wordier, more accurate headline that would not inspire the precious clicks that we need to survive in this media hellscape landscape is, “Elden Ring is Okay on Switch 2, so if you can play it somewhere else I would recommend that, but if this is your only option and you haven’t already played it, then this version will get the job done.”I played about two hours of Elden Ring on Switch 2 in…

NVIDIA revealed a wave of GeForce NOW updates at Gamescom 2026, bringing deeper graphics customization to subscribers along with a massive push into new hardware ecosystems and a steady stream of day-one game additions. Fine-tuning graphics in the cloud The headline feature for existing members is granular control over DLSS 4.5 rendering settings. Instead of forcing server-side defaults on everyone, Nvidia will soon let users tweak DLSS Super Resolution, Dynamic Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction directly inside the cloud stream. That means if you want to push demanding ray-traced or path-traced titles to their absolute limit, you can dial in…

Xbox has officially announced its rumored program that will allow owners of physical Xbox games to use them to claim entitlement to their digital counterparts. This disc-to-digital initiative will become available next week for Xbox Insider members to test out before rolling out to the general public.“Today we are introducing a feature that brings the benefits of digital to physical discs, giving players more flexibility in how they access and play supported games across the XBOX ecosystem,” reads an Xbox Wire post. “This is part of our broader commitment to game preservation. As technology, devices, and distribution continue to evolve,…

Apple TV just handed viewers a first look at its newest crime drama, and the pitch practically writes itself. Picture Grand Theft Auto colliding with Heat, then add two leads who can carry a screen on charisma alone. That’s 12 12 12, an eight-episode heist thriller starring and executive produced by Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan, set to premiere globally on November 13 with a two-episode debut. From there, new episodes drop every Friday until the finale lands on December 25. What is 12 12 12 actually about? The catchy title actually describes the show’s whole structure. Each episode moves…

If Resonance’s subtitle, A Plague Tale Legacy, scares you off because you don’t know the larger franchise, fear not. I am living proof that playing the previous two Plague Tale games (which follow different characters and take place after this game) is not required. But as an early compliment to protagonist Sophia’s adventure, I am now a fan and grateful to have an excuse to spend more time in this world. Resonance is not a particularly innovative game, but its well-realized characters, impressive performances, fun-if-simple combat, and rewarding environmental puzzles make for a well-paced and engaging experience that should make…

Nvidia used Gamescom 2026 to add another important piece to DLSS 4.5. Ray Reconstruction is now available through an Early Access NVIDIA app update, bringing Nvidia’s newer second-generation transformer model to ray-traced and path-traced games on every GeForce RTX GPU. To recall, Nvidia originally announced it at CES 2026 with a new Super Resolution model and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, before releasing 6X Multi Frame Generation and the dynamic system in March. Ray Reconstruction was revealed later on and has now reached users at Gamescom, with Nvidia planning its regular NVIDIA app release in September. This is more than just…

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is one of my favorite games of the year so far, and ever since I rolled credits, I’ve been eager to play the DLC. Announced prior to the game’s launch, we knew it would focus on Harley Quinn and the Joker, and today, WB Games has pulled back the curtain on the new content. The new trailer includes gameplay, new suits for the Bat-family, and a release date: September 18. Check out the video below: Previous Lego Batman games were known for their large roster of playable characters – especially villains – but Legacy…

Meta is preparing to make Facebook and Instagram feel noticeably different for younger users after agreeing to a massive settlement over claims that its platforms were designed in ways that could contribute to social media addiction. The headline-grabbing payment is enormous, but the changes attached to the deal may have a more immediate effect on how teens actually use the apps. Meta has agreed to pay up to $17.1 billion to settle claims brought by 47 states, Washington, D.C., and several U.S. territories. The agreement avoids a major trial over allegations that Facebook and Instagram used addictive product features, exposed…
