Valve’s new Steam Controller aims to be a deeply customizable bridge between console and PC gaming. It also has some whimsical surprises that add to its unlikely charm. Steam user RF3D19 recently discovered that one of those easter eggs is how the controller literally screams when you drop it. More specifically, it will recreate the Wilhelm scream, which originated in a 1950s Western and is now considered the “most famous scream of all time.” “Do whatever you want with this information, I just feel like I needed to share this asap,” they wrote. RF3D19 was also kind enough to upload a demonstration…
Separately, a group representing rural mobile carriers criticized the approvals, saying the FCC ignored competition concerns raised by small wireless operators. The spectrum sales “continue the troubling pattern of spectrum aggregation that disadvantages rural wireless providers, stifles competition in the wireless marketplace, and hinders the deployment of wireless services—particularly in the hardest-to-serve rural areas,” the Rural Wireless Association said. While Starlink isn’t a wireless carrier, it is looking to dominate the emerging market for Direct-to-Device (D2D) systems that use low Earth orbit satellites to provide service on standard mobile phones. Meanwhile, AT&T’s purchase of EchoStar licenses continues the consolidation of…
In 2024, T-Mobile teamed up with NVIDIA, Ericsson, and Nokia to form the AI-RAN Alliance to supercharge its network. The partnership is already bearing fruit, and customers are expected to get their first taste of the results later this year.Toward a more performant networkTo understand the hype, let’s do a quick 101 on the Radio Access Network (RAN). It’s the link that connects devices to the core network. T-Mobile wants to use AI to revolutionize the capabilities of RAN.T-Mobile and Ericsson trialed an AI-native Scheduler with Link Adaptation using customer traffic on T-Mobile’s 5G Advanced network. This software uses an AI…
I’m about 10 hours into Saros. I think it’s excellent. While I can understand those mourning the loss of some of the rougher, more esoteric edges of Housemarque’s previous sci-fi shooter Returnal, I think Saros generally benefits from being a more polished, finely-tuned adventure. So why doesn’t it seem to be selling as well as you’d expect? According to new estimates from Alinea Analytics, Sony’s latest PlayStation 5 exclusive has only sold just over 300,000 copies in its first two weeks. According to the firm’s internal data, that means it’s tracking slightly behind Returnal, which launched in 2021. It estimates…
The Skydweller drone was last visible on the flight-tracking service Flight Radar 24 north of Cancun, Mexico, in the early morning hours of May 4. The company described the drone as eventually performing a “controlled water ditching” around 6:30 am Eastern Time, but the aircraft “subsequently sank due to its non-buoyant composite structure.” By the time it went under, the Skydweller drone had performed a record-breaking, solar-powered flight of eight days and 14 minutes—longer than any previous flights as either a drone or crewed aircraft. The company Skydweller Aero commemorated it as an “operational prototype” that had “validated the practical…
Processors are among the few constants in the smartphone world. That’s why we can safely assume that virtually every upcoming top-tier Android smartphone will feature either a Qualcomm or MediaTek chipset.While rumors about the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and its heartbreaking pricing have started pouring out, we’ve heard relatively little about the Dimensity 9600. A new rumor changes that with wild claims about the performance of MediaTek’s leading chip.Dimensity 9600 could outperform both Apple’s and Qualcomm’s processorsMediaTek’s upcoming flagship processor will be manufactured on a 2nm process node, according to Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station. The leaker doesn’t clarify…
Kickstarter, the crowdfunding platform used to fund the likes of Larian Studios’ Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Warhorse Studios’ Kingdom Come: Deliverance, has recently updated its “Mature Content” guidelines to prohibit content that is deemed “violent,” “derogatory,” and sexually “photo-realistic,” and, based on emails sent to creators on the platform, the payment processor Stripe may be to blame for the sudden shift away from NSFW content. At some point over the past few days, seemingly around May 11, based on Internet Archive snapshots, Kickstarter’s “Rules” page was updated to specifically prohibit several forms of NSFW content. While the previous version…
On’s Cloudboom Strike LS, the company’s first iteration of these weird sprayed-on shoes, quickly became my favorite pair of runners. They became my go-to shoes, and I put many miles on them, even running a couple of half marathons. (I did not break any records, but thank you for asking.)I’ve been using the new version since it came out in February. The Cloudmonster soles feel great to run in, although they are noticeably less squishy than the Cloudboom versions. The benefits of that sprayed-on toebox are immediately noticeable. It makes the shoes much lighter (190 grams) than On’s other shoes.…
You’ve Seen The Demo, But Not Like This The bad news, to get it out of the way, is that the demo for modded Baldurs Gate 3 has not been updated. The good news is that what you saw in the demo of BG1 in BG3 is nowhere near as pretty as what has been done by Deathbringer’s Reign recently. The team have taken everything they learned about the Baldurs Gate 3 engine and went over Candlekeep again to give it the massive visual overhaul it truly deserves. This does mean that it will be even longer before we start…
