Sony and Microsoft entered the previous generation on fairly equal footing with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 selling 84 and 87.4 million units worldwide, respectively. The same cannot be said for this current console generation. Sony is the clear winner with lifetime sales of the PS4 at approximately 110 million units while the Xbox One sits at an estimated 50 million. The success of these two players during this console generation has governed the long-term decisions they’ve made....

But my experience is my own and there are other gamers with disabilities who cannot pick up a controller and play as I can. Some may not have full use of their hands or may not be able to see well (or at all). For decades, gamers with disabilities were an afterthought to developers and publishers — if they were even considered at all. Thankfully, things have started to change....

Design HP’s winning streak with premium design continues with the EliteBook x360 G2, which is the most stunning business machine I’ve ever seen. The silver, aluminum unibody laptop uses the company’s modern logo found only on its top-of-the-line machines. Lifting the lid shows off the 13.3-inch, 1080p touch screen; backlit keyboard; and shiny, diamond cut around the touchpad and fingerprint reader. The 360-degree hinges allow the EliteBook to be used in several modes, including as a laptop, a tablet, a tent (an upside-down “V”) and a display (with the keyboard facing down)....

He writes, “What would you tell someone who hasn’t played TTRPGs but wants to go about doing so? Both from a player and a DM/GM perspective?” Getting into TTRPGs may seem like a daunting task, but it’s really not....

This looks set to be more of a substantial update than a simple spec bump, of which we have pulled out five rumored features that should get you hyped for the latest Pro tablet.

The company has been testing this in a couple of ways: either replacing the aluminum enclosure with a fully glass back, or making the Apple logo larger and out of glass, to allow for charging....

In an event that had a distinctly eerie vibe due to the empty seats in the Apple auditorium, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max were presented as the ultimate 5G handsets, with Verizon’s CEO Hans Vestberg claiming that download speeds of up to 1Gbps can be achieved via its Ultra Wideband network.

The Snapdragon 8cx delivers better performance than other ARM-based chips we’ve tested, but it still doesn’t hold a candle to Intel or AMD processors, and app compatibility remains a problem. As such, the Flex 5G isn’t a good choice for power users. Instead, with its premium, portable chassis and gorgeous display, the Flex 5G should only be considered by those who travel and need internet access away from their home Wi-Fi....
