Earlier today, photos of a new, unannounced Xbox controller leaked after Brazil’s Anatel regulator accidentally shared images of the yet-to-be-revealed gamepad online. And then, a few hours later, the same regulator leaked images of a different, officially not announced Xbox controller. Whoops. On May 14, Brazilian technology news site Technoblog obtained and posted leaked images of a cloud controller designed specifically to work with Xbox game streaming. The controller is smaller than a normal Xbox gamepad, but includes all the buttons and sticks you’d expect, just arranged in a smaller, cheaper form factor. This is the kind of controller that…
Meta’s decision to track employee keystrokes and mouse data is causing an uproar within the company. “Selfishly, I don’t want my screen scraped because it feels like an invasion of my privacy,” wrote an engineer in an internal post seen by nearly 20,000 coworkers this week. “But zooming out, I don’t want to live in a world where humans—employees or otherwise—are exploited for their training data.”The message aimed to rally support for a petition circulating inside the company since last Thursday that demands an end to what Meta calls the Model Capability Initiative. It’s a piece of mandatory software that…
The first thing Sony wants you to know about its brand new flagship smartphone is that it has an AI Camera Assistant and a new telephoto camera. These are supposed to make the Xperia 1 VIII one of the best phones to take photos with, but the results we’ve seen are mixed. Judging from Sony’s marketing materials, that doesn’t seem to be the result of an error.Sony has an interesting idea of what an improved photo looks likeEarly on the Xperia 1 VIII product page, Sony is promoting its new AI Camera Assistant. Powered by Xperia Intelligence, the feature is supposedly…
Over the weekend, a Marathon streamer who goes by NAPainter pulled off the most controversial stunt in the extraction shooter’s two-month-old history. Now Bungie is punishing him with a 30-day ban, and he’s not fighting it. “I am more than ok with this outcome,” he wrote on X. “I made a mistake and did something fucked up. I’m willing to take this.” Footage of the “most HEINOUS, EVIL, and DISGUSTING thing” NAPainter said he’s ever done in a video game before rippled through the Marathon community earlier this week. It showed him using an out-of-bounds glitch on Cryo Archive to…
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is monitoring a total of 41 people in the US for the Andes hantavirus after a cruise ship was hit with a rare outbreak but that the risk to the public remains low.This includes a group of 18 passengers from the cruise ship who are now in quarantine facilities in Nebraska and Georgia, according to health officials. The agency is also monitoring passengers who returned home before the outbreak was identified and others who were exposed during travel, specifically on flights where a symptomatic case was present.“Most people under monitoring are considered high-risk…
Skin tones are probably the trickiest part in a camera.Getting lobster-red faces is quite frustrating (but quite understandable if your model has been drinking since ten in the morning).Colors are important, and nailing the perfect skin hue is a task that each brand tries to solve on its own.It’s not just about sharpness and dynamic range – hues are paramount. That’s why you often hear, “Let’s take the group photo with THAT phone, not with the other”.Sad to say, I don’t think the brand-new Sony Xperia 1 VIII (one mark eight) will be “THAT” phone. Not unless there’s some massive…
Marathon is about to wrap up its first season. It’s a brilliant game with a dwindling player base. But Bungie has some ambitious ideas for turning that around. Game director Joe Ziegler outlined what the team has learned from the past two months and how that is informing where Marathon is headed in the future. The plan includes experiments with PVE-only modes as well as more casual PVP-lite experiences. But these are just the tip of the iceberg. “With the first season of Marathon we’ve created a strong core community,” Ziegler wrote in a new blog post on May 14.…
Get Your Job To Pay For The Laptop! You pretty much need to be a major corporation to afford a new computer these days, and if you are going to try to convince your employer to buy you one then see if they’ll go for the ThinkPad P14s. It’s a serious machine, with a 6GB NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell GPU to process even the largest of jobs, and the Core Ultra 7 265H sports an Intel Arc 140T GPU for other tasks. Those two components together still probably cost less than the 32GB DDR5-5600 and 1TB SSD though. The…
