The game launched on February 25 to nearly unanimous praise from critics and FromSoftware fans alike, but not everyone was won over. Some took to social media to voice their displeasure with certain parts of the game, like its lack of accessibility features or obtuse UI. Fans seemingly had an excuse for every quirk, insisting that everything was the product of intent and that addressing any quality of life complaints could ruin what makes the game special....

This week a major court case in support ofnet neutralitybegan, with a group of consumer advocates and internet trade organizations challenging the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s overturning of the Open Internet Order (OIO). This order, passed in 2015, is what made it illegal for internet providers to block or throttle internet speeds when accessing particular sites or platforms — i.e. it is the law that protected consumers for having to pay more for “fast lane” services, and that protected companies from having to pay extra cash to internet providers for good speeds to be available on their websites....

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire review – Bustin’ still makes us feel good Surprisingly creepy and charmingly off-beat, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is a fun ghostly romp that’s let down by playing it safe. Following the unjust failure of the criminally underrated Ghostbusters (2016), there were fears that Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis’s brainchild was destined for the cinematic containment unit. Thankfully, the modest success of Jason Reitman’s Afterlife at the box office and the film’s positive reviews proved (for the most part) that the Ghostbusters weren’t dead and buried yet....

Unsurprisingly, we’re now seeing Chrome OS adopt new features that make the OS more suitable for touchscreen devices, and the latest Chrome OS 64 update is a prime example....

We place an awful lot of trust in our smart home hubs and speakers, allowing them to live in our living rooms, our bedrooms, and even our bathrooms. But we may want to think twice about this blind acceptance following a rather bizarre incident involving one of the newGoogle Home Minidevices debuted at the tech giant’sOctober 4 eventand Android Police writerArtem Russakovskii. Per Russakovskii’s report, a rogue Mini “spied on everything [he] said,” and transmitted much of this information to Google, too....

With swirling dust storms, barely any rain, and daytime temperatures reaching up to 104-degrees Fahrenheit, the Sahara desert is one of the world’s least hospitable environments. But the 3.6 million square mile stretch also represents a whole lot of untapped prime real estate — which a new study suggests could be used for housing the biggestsolarandwind farmsin the world. As it turns out, not only would covering the entire area in solar and wind farms more than meet the world’s energy demands, it would also transform the local climate....
