The first successful game released by Niantic was Ingress, though Pokémon GO was the real breakout hit for AR mobile games, smashing all kinds of player spending records. It has since spawned a whole genre, and even the likes of CD Projekt RED attempted to dip into the AR craze with Spokko’s The Witcher: Monster Slayer....

The phone features the Samsung HP1 200-megapixel sensor that was launched last year and it can opt to use all 200-megapixel as individual 0.64 micro pixels. It also uses Samsung’s ChameleonCell pixel-binning tech to group 4 or 16 pixels into a single, larger pixel. These two configurations turn the ISOCELL into a 50-megapixel sensor with 1.28-micron pixels or a 12.5-megapixel sensor with 2.56-micro pixels. The Motorola X30 Pro is Easily One of the Most Powerful Devices to Come Out This Year Other specs are not shoddy, either....

The platform fighter developed by Player First Games has been available to the public for over a week. While the game feels quite balanced, some characters are considerably better than the others in 1 versus 1 and 2 versus 2 and free-for-all modes, so those who want the best shot at winning in a highly competitive setting will need to pick between a few strong characters. As with any fighting game, it’s not impossible to win at a high level with any character, only that the tools that low-tier characters have or do not have make it more difficult for them to win if the players’ skills are evenly matched....

Whether this means that FSR 2....

The new Media Player is said to be a major improvement in playing digital media, which supports both audio and video. Moreover, it is going to be replacing the Groove Music app, importing any existing media libraries automatically. Not only that, but the application also includes updates to the layout to look more appealing and makes it user-friendly. We personally find it more in tone with Windows 11 than the legacy Windows Media Player, whose update was long overdue....

The recent spectacular pump in the price of Ethereum (ETH) is largely a function of the hype that has been consistently building around the upcoming merge event and the oft-repeated prognosis that the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is about to turn into an almost perfect deflationary asset in a world beset by raging inflation. However, as with almost all things in life, the reality is much more nuanced....

With this new implementation by TechPowerUP’s monitoring tool, board partners and third parties cannot validate GPU-Z submissions or BIOS info to the website’s lofty database....
