Month: February 2024

At MWC 2024, Tecno is demoing its rollable phone concept, the Phantom Ultimate. Here’s what it does well and what it could do better.

Honor basically said ‘Hold my phone,’ and announced at MWC that it, too, will launch a smart ring this year to compete with Samsung and others.

The iHome AutoVac Juno robot vacuum is on sale from Walmart at $120 off, slashing its price to $79. It has a three-brush system and a runtime of 100 minutes.

OnePlus has taken the OnePlus 12R to new heights with this gorgeous limited edition inspired by Genshin Impact.

These British crime shows will give you some great thrills if you check them out on Netflix in March 2024.

LG has released preorder pricing for its 2024 OLED evo G4 and C4 series TVs.

We’ve seen plenty of folding phones that cost $1,800. But what about a foldable that costs nearly $3,000? I recently had a chance to use one.

It’s been a bleak year so far for the gaming industry, between mass layoffs, projects getting canceled and studios shutting down. There are some specks of light in the darkness, though, thanks to a few surprise hits like Palworld and Helldivers 2, while there are still some studios opening up. One of those is BulletFarm, a nascent NetEase studio led by a former Call of Duty multiplayer designer.

Studio head David Vonderhaar will draw from his experience of working on the Call of Duty: Black Ops series for his latest project, a co-op game set in an original universe. The studio is aiming to offer “a fresh take on first-person gameplay.” Vonderhaar describes the project as a “departure from the games I’ve worked on, but one that showcases my passion for rich characters, precise mechanics, more intimate storytelling and plenty of action.”

BulletFarm is currently hiring workers for the project and, although it’s headquartered in Los Angeles, it’s a remote-first studio. That could make BulletFarm an enticing prospect for game developers who have lost their jobs over the last several months and may not be able to move to Southern California.

The game industry is said to have cut more than 16,000 jobs since the beginning of 2023, so there are a lot of talented people looking for work. One new studio isn’t going to fix that massive labor problem, but it’s a step in a positive direction.
