The Halo engine is a very technical, engineering-focused engine. It’s super hard for creatives to work in. It’s super hard for a lot of creatives to work at one time. We did a ton of work, on Halo 4, on the engine, to get it to look… I think it looked amazing for being on the last generation on the last year of the platform. We promised the team we would do the work on the tools, and pipeline, for Halo 5, so it wasn’t such a challenging environment to develop on....

Second-Generation AirPods Pro The first-generation AirPods Pro are around three years old and were the first from Apple to support Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode.

While we should not expect health features to arrive for the AirPods Pro 2, Lossless Audio support and multiple colors are potential additions....

The company, which still offers the lowest rates in the industry to a myriad of destinations such as low Earth Orbit (LEO) is now charging 20% more for its rideshare programs, but at the same time, it has reduced the minimum prices offered to its rideshare customers....

Instagram Will Soon Allow You to Filter Content with Great Ease Once this feature does roll out, Instagram users will have an option to make sure that their Explore page is only showing the media they want to see and not something else. At the moment, our Explore page is a culmination of the type of posts that we engage with most commonly. However, in between that, you end up seeing some posts that have absolutely nothing in common with what you actually look at....

Intel ARC line runs out of GPUs and misses the date set for updated driver support for the line The company’s initial plans were to offer an updated driver by the last part of April, including the capability to deactivate optimizations focused on benchmarking. Including this update with the option to activate or deactivate the optimization would allow users to achieve more validity in their UL 3D mark benchmark test scores....

Intel’s Upcoming 24 Core Raptor Lake Core i9-13900K Desktop CPU & Arc A770 Desktop Graphics Card Spotted The two upcoming components were spotted by TUM_APISAK in the not so user-friendly, User Benchmark database. The outlet is known to show biased in favor of Intel’s CPUs and NVIDIA’s GPUs. It is still a decent resource for hardware leaks but performance leaks should only be of usage if we compare the same vendor due to the aforementioned bias....

Intel Next-Gen Sapphire Rapids-AP HEDT CPU Lineup With Golden Cove Cores Launching Later This Year The HEDT CPU segment hasn’t seen much action over the past few years. Intel’s 10th Gen Core-X lineup launched back in 2019 and AMD’s last Threadripper family launched in early 2020. There’s been some action in the workstation space from AMD with its Threadripper ‘WX’ parts but those haven’t seen attention either since the Zen 2 parts that launched in early 2021....

Though the following is not confirmed, it is possible that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are treated to the same 5G modem unless Apple went a step further to differentiate between the four models....

With the game having received so many 2s and 3s, someone who has never seen the game in action would think Babylon’s Fall is an unplayable mess that simply does not work. Given how many, due to the lack of time, only look at the final score and closing comments of a review, I feel these extremely low scores are not really representative of the game’s actual quality. It is a mediocre game, no doubt about it, but not the complete disaster the low scores suggest....

The game looks to be covering each of the main nine Star Wars movies, but to what scale isn’t known yet....

LG and Samsung Might Be Tasked With Mass Producing Hybrid OLED Panels for the 2024 iPad Models The issue with flexible OLED technology is that not only are they more expensive to produce, but they also leave a more ‘crumpled’ look, especially when used in larger devices. Given that the iPad Pro series potentially launching in 2024 could feature OLED panels, that ‘wrinkled’ appearance of the display might put off a ton of customers after having paid a premium for those tablets....
