Watch the new DJI FPV drone whiz between trees (until it doesn’t)
DJI recently launched its first FPV drone, a machine that can zip from 0 to 60 mph in a mere two seconds before hurtling to a top speed of 87 mph. Drone pilots across the experience spectrum have already been posting their first flights online, with some clearly more daring than others when it comes […]
What matters (and what doesn’t) when buying a gaming desktop
A gaming desktop is a big investment, so it’s a good idea to take the purchase seriously and do your research. Among the most important things to consider are storage, raw horsepower, upgradability, and add-in cards. The first step is determining which factors are most important and which gaming desktops deliver what you need. But […]
Face ID doesn’t work when you’re wearing a mask—Apple’s about to fix that
Enlarge / The TrueDepth sensor array on the iPhone. Samuel Axon Apple’s Face ID method for authenticating on recent iPhones offers a number of security benefits, and it’s a neat trick to boot. But in a pandemic-stricken world where many people either opt to or are even required to wear protective masks, users have discovered […]
Surface Laptop 3s are repairable, but Microsoft doesn’t want you to do it
Yesterday, Microsoft held its annual Surface hardware event, and as usual, the company unveiled several new devices that are currently in the works. The latest announcements include news on the Surface Laptop 3. During the presentation, the company claimed that the third generation of the Surface Laptop would be a thin and “easily repairable” laptop. […]
The iPhone 11 Doesn’t Show Wi-Fi Advantages Over the iPhone XS
This year’s iPhone models—the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max—are the first with Wi-Fi 6, a new wireless standard that’s supposed to greatly extend speed and range. Naturally, I was excited to test them with a new Netgear Wi-Fi 6 router and a gigabit corporate connection. Interestingly, the results show that the biggest […]
Final Fantasy 7 Remake doesn’t need turn-based combat to be good
Final Fantasy VII Remake is one of the headline games for Square Enix at the moment, and it feels like it has been in development forever.

It has […]
Volkswagen is launching a full range of EVs, but it doesn’t want to be Tesla
Ronan Glon/Digital Trends If Apple ever finally decides to make a car, it might end up looking a lot like the 2020 Volkswagen ID.3. This fully electric, Golf-sized hatchback puts an equal emphasis on cutting-edge, user-friendly technology and clean, simple design. It will not be sold in the United States, but much of the technology […]
Sekiro is better on PC than consoles, but From still doesn’t get it
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the latest release from developer From Software. It’s out now on PC and consoles, but I would recommend playing it on the former. Even on an Xbox One X, Sekiro can’t hold a consistent framerate. And it’s nowhere near 60 frames per second. Visually, Sekiro looks great no matter where […]
The most beautiful iPhone in the world doesn’t come from Apple
The most beautiful new iPhone you’ve ever seen … doesn’t come from Apple at all. The engineers at French company Remade buy used iPhone 6 and 7 models and and repair any problems they find before striping them and repainting them in lush, vibrant, hues: rose, orange, bronze, raspberry, foam, and sapphire. Sure, you could […]
China’s new robotic submarine doesn’t just chase typhoons, it dives into them
Siping Zheng It might sound like something out of a techno-thriller, but it’s not: Scientists in China really have developed an unmanned submarine that is designed to travel into potentially deadly typhoons and other extreme weather types and fire off weather-monitoring rockets. One of these “rocketsondes,” designed to perform weather analysis in situations that would […]
