Square Enix Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is out now, but it’s only available on PlayStation 5. As is the case with Helldivers 2, Xbox players might be feeling left out of the fun as one of the year’s most critically acclaimed games isn’t on their platform. Although the original Final Fantasy VII is no longer on Xbox Game Pass, quite a few other fantastic RPGs from or inspired by Japanese developers are. If you’re looking for a great RPG on Game Pass that’ll fill the void, try these titles, listed in no particular order,…

Axios, a site known for political analysis and extensive use of bullet points, has joined the ranks of pundits fawning over Mark Zuckerberg’s PR strategy. The Meta CEO, they claim, is (as originally headlined) "having a PR moment" which is "casting a halo effect on the company itself." That's obviously untrue, but let's say it in a format more likely to reach Axios's audience.The big picture: Zuckerberg’s recent PR blitz is neither out of character nor a sign of a freshly rehabbed image. In fact, Meta and Zuckerberg are…

Jacob Roach / DigitalTrends The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the best CPU for gaming, and it’s incredibly efficient, which means for most PC users who aren’t looking to transcode video or create 3D renders, it’s the best CPU overall. As efficient as it is, though, you do still need to cool it, and if you want it to run cool and quiet, you need a relatively capable one. But which is best? You could just buy the best air cooler or AIO cooler available, and that will work absolutely fine. Really well, in fact. But you don’t…

Soon after Elon Musk took control of Twitter, now called X, the platform faced a massive problem: Advertisers were fleeing. But that, the company alleges, was someone else’s fault. On Thursday that argument went before a federal judge, who seemed skeptical of the company's allegations that a nonprofit’s research tracking hate speech on X had compromised user security, and that the group was responsible for the platform’s loss of advertisers.The dispute began in July when X filed suit against the Center for Countering…

Production studios still regularly release their latest, greatest films and series on DVD and Blu-ray. But over the past few years, it has become increasingly clear that physical media just isn’t as much of a priority as it used to be for Hollywood’s biggest players. You could see it in the way that Barbarian — one of the biggest sleeper hits of 2022 — came and went without a physical release and in the way Disney only seemed keen on putting projects like WandaVision, Loki, and The Mandalorian on disc years after their…

That evidence was from Shotspotter, an “acoustic gunfire-detection" system supplied by SoundThinking, a firm based in California. Shotspotter automatically recognises and analyses the sound of gunshots from a network of microphones spread across cities—Chicago has by far the largest network in America. By triangulating the recordings it can, in theory, pinpoint where a gun has been fired. The idea is that this will help police officers respond more quickly to shootings, and find out about shootings that go…

Google’s rushed, faulty AI isn’t alone. Microsoft’s Bing chatbot wasn’t just inaccurate, it was unhinged, telling a New York Times columnist soon after its release that it was in love with him and wanted to destroy things. Google has said that responsible AI is a top priority, and that it was “continuing to invest in the teams” that apply its AI principles to products.LoadingOpenAI, which kick-started Big Tech’s race for a foothold in generative AI, normalised the rationale for treating us all like guinea pigs with new AI…

We’ve all heard that screens aren’t good for your eyes. So it might not be too surprising to hear that many Vision Pro users have complained about eye strain. (After all, the headset does use two 4K screens, one in front of each eyeball.) However, these are common complaints from overall VR usage and experts say it isn’t something to freak out over.“Despite what many people believe, sitting too close to the TV does not damage your eyes. Screens ruining your eyes is another myth,” says Dr. Arvind Saini, clinical…
