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…

The keyboard phone comeback isn’t a meme anymore. It’s a movement, and the numbers just made that impossible to ignore.Unihertz just closed one of the wildest Kickstarter runs in phone historyThe Titan 2 Elite Kickstarter campaign officially wrapped, and Unihertz pulled in over $4 million from more than 8,800 backers across 50 days.

It’s tough being a game developer, especially at Amazon Games Studios. A new report from Eurogamer outlines chaos, confusion, and dysfunction on one of the tech giant’s game development teams as it pivoted to a project based on generative AI game in a desperate attempt to save their jobs, only for Amazon to apparently can them anyway when it didn’t work out. Last October, Amazon laid off roughly 14,000 employees, which included significant reductions in its gaming business. A known casualty of the layoffs was New World: Aeternum, which is set to shut down in January 2027 despite being one…

Brian Barrett: Our best and brightest.Leah Feiger: Yeah. And so I’m just like, no, no, no, this is clearly not just about tech. This is about showing very specifically who Trump’s allies are and being able to position himself in front of a country and leader that he hasn’t spent a lot of time with recently.Zoë Schiffer: Since we’re still talking about the people that he is going to China with, what do we know about why Jensen Huang was left off the list and then re-added last minute? Because my though when I saw it was, oh, this is…
