It looks like E3 won’t be happening this year as the trade show announced that it was being canceled for this summer (both the physical event and the digital alternative). An outcome that may spark flashbacks from 2020 when COVID-19 caused most of the world to come to a complete halt. Thankfully, this doesn’t have anything to do with the virus or any other virus for that matter. Instead, this year’s cancelation is brought on by a general lack of interest from companies that normally would be attending. Major names like Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony had already backed out of…

Microsoft has decided to do away with its $1 trial promotion for new customers signing up with its Game Pass subscription service. It’s been a great way to bring people in with a little bait at the end of the lure, allowing them to become addicted to the vast selection of games and wanting more. The trial worked for all subscription levels of the Game Pass service and gave users a full month of use for that price. After which the normal price of the selected tier would begin ($9.99-$14.99). The promotion was so well marketed that you could find…

This is something we have heard time and time again as the CEO of SpaceX announces that Starship will be launched soon for its orbital test flight, just for the plans to land face-first due to regulation or delays in federal approval for launch. However, Elon Musk thinks that this time it will be different, eyeing next month for the event. Musk thinks that SpaceX will get the approval it needs from the FAA in order for an April launch, specifically pointing out the end of the third week of the month. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1636515448970698752 If this actually happens, it will check…

Trouble finding a charger for your new electric vehicle? Soon you won’t have to look that far. At least, not as long as there is a 7-Eleven nearby. The convenience store and gas station giant is looking to add EV charging to its refueling capabilities around the country (and Canada soon after). It won’t be every location as the company’s announcement does state “select 7-Eleven stores”, but I’m sure it will eventually end up being at most or all of them eventually. Or maybe “select” means “any location that has its own (branded) gas station services. Regardless, this is going…

Volkswagen (VW) is looking to make some waves when it comes to going head to head with Tesla at releasing a car near the $25K price range. Tesla has been promising that a car like this would be coming for some time now but it has yet to announce anything official. Allowing competitors time to catch up with solutions of their own. The company released information surrounding its “ID. 2all” vehicle that would cost around $26-27K in the US and offer up to 279 miles of range. Something that would compete well with something like the Model 3 Standard Range…

The space race continues to grow as more companies add their name to the list of contestants. With that, there have been some fascinating achievements, including 3D-printed rockets, and rocket models that use a spinning force instead of a normal launch pad. However, not everyone makes it, as Virgin Group has learned. Resulting in the closure of Virgin Orbit. Thankfully, this doesn’t appear to be a permanent exit for the company. It is simply an opportunity to work on its future business plans and financial strategies as the company looks ahead from its previous failed attempt to launch in January,…

Elon Musk has been toying with the idea of using Twitter to compete against the likes of PayPal. Allowing the platform to become a solution for sending and receiving payments and eventually becoming a similar full-on online banking solution. It wouldn’t be hard to picture this happening since Elon was one of the original co-founders of PayPal, so it isn’t like this would be new territory. Now, with the recent collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (based in Santa Clara, CA) last Friday–due to poor investing by the bank (that it would have recovered from) and panic from clients who started…

Samsung is under fire right now surrounding its claims that the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s camera is so powerful, it can zoom all the way into the moon and take a somewhat detailed image of it. The feature is called Space Zoom, which allows the phone up to 100x digital zoom. Leading to some interesting photos that have been making their way around the internet. I have been using the S23 Ultra for around a month now and have taken notice of some of the images the phone is capable of at full zoom. Taking impressive images of building…

Microsoft’s Edge browser is a speedy contestant in the browser games and has proven to be one of the best attempts the company has ever made in the history of launches. It is based on Chromium, which is the same framework that the Google Chrome browser (and so many others, now) is based on, resulting in a fast and user-friendly experience. However, nothing is perfect, which leads to my little rant today. The company is a rockstar at creating popular gaming systems and operating systems (at least, every other one they launch into the world). But sometimes it makes poor…

Sadly, from time to time, you will come across a product that just doesn’t make the cut in the real world, leading to some form of recall. Possibly something that wasn’t tested fully before launch or not tested hard enough. In this case, maybe a little bit of both. This round, Anker is having to recall a number of power banks of a specific model due to fire risks, totalling over 40,000 units. The model in question is the Anker 535 Power Bank (PowerCore 20K), which apparently suffers a risk of the lithium-ion batteries inside overheating both during charge and…
