Things are changing over at Level, where major names and departments are leaving, causing a lot of comotion and concern over the future of the company and its services. This week, ASSA ABLOY, the parent company that acquired Level a few years back (2024), announced mass layoffs to Level’s staff as it pushes forward with a whole new restructuring of the company. This new restructuring includes the removal of Level’s founders and the merging of its operations into Kwikset, which is also owned by ASSA ABLOY. It also includes the removal of most of the engineering team, which makes for…

After a month of waiting, due to a “leak of images” back in May, Logitech has officially launched its new folding mouse, the Logitech Mobi Fold. This new mouse taking portability to the max by completely folding in half so that it can easily fit into your pocket or other tight spaces. Although many other sources have been describing this new release as a completely unique solution, it isn’t the first of its kind. If you look back to 2008, Microsoft had launched its Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse, that didn’t something similar. That mouse was able to flex into an…

We have been testing out a new controller that we have been playing with for a few weeks now, which is designed for gamers looking to turn their smartphones into mobile gaming devices. It is the Serafim S3 Universal Mobile Game Controller. This one launched a few months ago, back in March, but this is the first time we have had a chance to give it a go to see how it holds up to a continuously growing handheld market. Its design should look relatively familiar to you, as it isn’t the first of its kind, as it shares a…

Plex has continued to enjoy being the most popular choice when it comes to running a personal media server at home. It’s convenient, friendly to use, and filled with so many features. It’s a fantastic solution for those looking to gather all of their media into one place and stream it to themselves anywhere in the world. But for those looking to jump on the lifetime membership, things might not be looking so good. There might be a drop in sales for those looking to go lifetime since the company has been continuously hiking the price over the last so…

Nothing lasts forever in the world of tech, as age can wreak havoc on API access and security requirements that devices depend on to deliver certain services. Many of these devices require continuous updates and enhancements to keep up with changes by third parties and to deliver new security improvements, and companies just can’t offer this forever (else, these devices would cost so much more). Thankfully, you do get a lot out of these little Fire TV sticks when it comes to what you pay for vs what you get. In some cases, you can squeeze up to 8 to…

Tesla has been cracking down on users throughout Europe, the UK, and China who attempt to circumvent certain systems, such as FSD, with some users saying that they have been permanently banned from using FSD, preventing them from making use of the service on their account. Basically, users in countries where FSD is currently lacking approval for use have been using special devices that allow them to bypass restrictions within the software, allowing FSD to function where it shouldn’t. These devices basically trick the computer into thinking that the car is within the US, or similar functions. This unlocks FSD…

SD cards continue to climb in capacities as demand and technology continue to evolve. With it comes new sky-high pricing (usually) and a lot of exciting chatter about what it could be used for. Just imagine, if your camera takes SD cards, how many high-res images or videos you could squeeze onto it before you run out of space (etc). With NVMe and other storage solutions inflating in price across the board as companies scramble to keep up with demand, it comes as no surprise that this one’s MSRP seems to have been affected the moment it launched. That being…

It looks like Amazon has been struck with several issues with its overall website and services (ie, AWS) as it faces outages, broken links, and other troubles that are preventing users from browsing or making use of everything. Reports have been pouring in via services like DownDetector, with thousands of users complaining about not being able to access the website, not being able to log in, or not being able to access various features or services. The reports seem to have suddenly occurred around 11:00 AM PST and quickly started growing. Customers report not being able to check out, or…

I am lost for words, hearing about all of the drama happening at Ubisoft. Profit troubles, layoffs, canceled titles, delayed titles, and other various changes surrounding restructuring. The company is going through a lot of changes right now as it attempts to stay afloat, all because it has been having trouble trying to recreate its magic in finding new successful IPs. But what about Star Wars? It came as a surprise when I heard that Star Wars Outlaws was doing terribly. Judging from the trailers, it seemed like the game was going to be a major win for the company.…
