ChatGPT is getting a little more comfortable inside the Mac, with its latest update adding an Apple Messages integration. The feature lets users bring conversations from Apple’s Messages app into ChatGPT, giving the assistant another source of context without requiring users to manually copy and paste entire conversations. Another app joins ChatGPT’s growing ecosystem The integration is part of a broader push to make ChatGPT more useful as a desktop assistant rather than simply a chatbot sitting in its own window. OpenAI has been expanding the Mac app’s ability to work with other applications and information, including its Computer History…
Rockstar Games was already dealing with fresh GTA 6 footage spreading online just days before its big August 27 showcase. Now, another group has entered the picture, claiming it has access to a separate batch of internal development material. A new set of Reddit posts spotted by Notebookcheck points to a second group, apparently unrelated to CyberLeek, claiming access to internal GTA 6 development material. Among the material being circulated is an unpublished screenshot said to come from an April 2026 build, alongside development files. If legitimate, that would make the material considerably newer than some of the GTA 6…
2XKO, Riot Games’ free-to-play tag-team fighting game set in its League of Legends universe, has struggled to find a sustainable audience since arriving in January. Those troubles have finally come to a head; come December, the developer will cease active development of the game.In a blog post, Riot states, “Over the last few months, we’ve been monitoring 2XKO’s trajectory closely, and what we’ve seen is painting a clear, consistent picture: while a lot of you jumped in to try the game and there’s an incredible community that plays every day, we haven’t seen enough players stick with the game to…
Most people choose a web browser for practical reasons: speed, familiarity, compatibility and convenience. Environmental impact is less commonly part of the decision. Wave Browser, however, is attempting to make it one of the factors consumers consider. Developed by Eightpoint, Wave is a Chromium-based browser that combines standard browsing functionality with features intended to help users stay organized and work efficiently online. Its most distinctive element is not a technical specification, but an environmental initiative: a Certified Cleanup Partnership with 4ocean that supports the removal of plastic and other waste from our ocean, rivers, and coastlines. That positioning raises two…
Vibe-coded games and apps have already flooded Android and iOS storefronts, creating plenty of frustration among users trying to sort through them. Meta is taking a different route with Pocket, its experimental app for turning simple ideas into small, playable experiences that can be shared like social posts. Pocket itself is not entirely new. We first covered the app when Meta quietly began testing it in Brazil in July. It is now rolling out across the U.S., giving a much larger group of users a chance to try it. Pocket treats games more like social posts Meta calls the creations…
The internet has been filling up with AI-generated content ever since ChatGPT arrived, but a new analysis from Pew Research Center puts just how widespread it has become into perspective. According to the study, roughly one-third of web pages published since ChatGPT’s launch show signs of AI authorship. The internet didn’t become AI overnight The important word here is “signs.” Pew’s research isn’t saying that one-third of every webpage on the internet was written entirely by an AI. Instead, it looked for indicators suggesting that AI played a role in producing the content. That’s an important distinction because modern online…
One of the most remarkable additions to the Pixel 11 series of smartphones this year is the new colorful LED notification system that Google calls “HiLight.” The core idea behind this colorful light is that you can customize it. Unfortunately, Google kept it tightly locked. For example, it only works when you are having an interaction with Gemini, or have set it as a caller identity for voice calls. And that’s pretty much as far as it goes. Soon after Google introduced it on its latest flagship phones, enthusiasts complained that it was such a missed opportunity. Google should have…
Ever since the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 8, there has been a visible clamoring among enthusiasts for more palm-friendly and smaller phones. And trust me, it’s not merely nostalgia. I’ve been using Samsung’s compact foldable phone for weeks, and the only reason that I can’t stop using it is that it’s just so comfortable to hold and easy to slide in your pocket. What if a candybar-style phone could mimic that form factor? Well, Huawei just heard your prayers. The latest from the Chinese technology giant is the Pura X View. It comes with a wide 16:9.5 aspect…
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is just a couple of weeks away. In case you missed it, it’s the latest game to grace the cover of Game Informer, and I traveled to Capcom’s Osaka HQ to play never-before-seen parts of the game, interview the developers making it, and more. Subscribers can read my cover story here for the full picture, but alongside that, I’ve been posting exclusive behind-the-scenes interview features, news breakouts, retrospectives, and more, and it can all be found in the Game Informer Onimusha: Way of the Sword coverage hub. With the game closer than ever, I have just two more features to go…
You’re either thinking about getting a new Pixel 11 or already have one in your hand when you’re going through this, thinking about the possible accessories that you can pair with the beautiful smartphones Google launched in August 2026. As always, I’ve looked at dozens of Pixel 11 accessories on Amazon, only to find seven that actually deserve your money. These include a $20 third-party dual-port charger that rivals Google’s $70 charging dock. Some solve a real annoyance, like fumbling for a cable at night; others are just genuinely nice to have around a Pixel 11, because why not. So,…
