“Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.” My grandad taught me this old adage when I was a kid, but several companies at CES 2023 clearly didn’t get the memo. From disco refrigerators to a cutting board with a subscription service, plenty of bad decisions were made, which should have stayed in Vegas. So without further ado, here is the list that nobody wants to be on: the stupidest gadgets of CES 2023....
You’ll have to wait a bit before you can start Snapchatting on your Chrome OS-based laptop, but Google told attendees at a Google I/O session today (May 19) that the feature will start rolling out in its developer channel with the M53 build for the Asus Chromebook Flip, the Acer Chromebook R11 and the latest Chromebook Pixel. Support for other Chromebooks will follow. When the feature does arrive, you’ll have a Play Store icon pinned to your Chromebook’s bottom shelf....
Design When it comes to sub-$200 laptops, I’m not looking for wows, just solid build-quality. And aside from a little flex in its lid, the J4 Plus delivers. Besides, you can’t ever really go wrong with basic black. On the laptop’s lid, there’s a subtle crisscross pattern that gives the system a little texture, and on the inside, there’s a black, brushed-aluminum deck that provides a cool place to rest your wrists....
In true Kojima fashion, there wasn’t a simple title reveal, but an entire collection of scenes packed into a teaser trailer that is just as confusing as you might expect from the man who turned feces into a weapon. There are plenty of returning favorites (e.g., Norman Reedus), as well as new cast members brought into the fold (e.g., Elle Fanning). Here’s everything we know so far about Death Stranding 2, from the release date and story to the gameplay and PC requirements....
Henderson claims a few additions have been confirmed by his sources, including removable analog sticks. These would be purchasable separately to replace them in the case of stick drift, potentially saving the customer some money. Other features include trigger stops and rear buttons, which are common additions to more expensive controllers. The DualSense Pro could also offer software upgrades, although it’s hard to guess what those will look like. Besides expecting general enhancements to the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, this could mean anything....
Due to the increased restrictions here in Korea, SEVENTEEN’s planned offline fan meeting at Jamsil Stadium was switched to being all online. They were sad that they had to make the switch, but that didn’t stop them from rocking out and connecting with their fans. CARAT LAND began with an incredible performance of SEVENTEEN’s song ‘Ready to Love’. The performance gave me small town America in the 1950’s or 60’s vibes with visuals of diners, storefronts, and lights....
While Halo 5: Guardians doesn’t have a great reputation due to its lackluster campaign, it had the best gameplay in the entire Halo franchise. So how does Halo Infinite compare? And how drastically did they change the game to bring it back to its roots? Let’s talk about which game has the better gameplay between Halo Infinite vs. Halo 5 Guardians, and what the big changes are coming to the new Halo title....
