Pixel phone owners have a new troubleshooting tool in their arsenal today, thanks to a new update. Google has released an update for its Pixel Troubleshooting app that can measure your device’s battery temperature and offer potentially useful suggestions. The nature of the temperature check and the help steps are a bit rudimentary, but less technical users are probably going to dig this. While Pixel Troubleshooting seems like a standard app updated via the Play

No Man’s Sky made some big promises before its release on PC and PS4 in 2016, showing off trailers of incredible alien creatures and unfathomable landscapes. But when gamers landed on their first planets, they found there really wasn’t much to do. The game’s reviews tanked, but Hello Games didn’t give up. Now, eight years later, No Man’s Sky has reached an important milestone on Steam with an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating. Steam keeps track of

The age of the omnipresent headphone jack is long gone, and even adapters are rarely included with new devices. So, what’s a music fan to do? Buy Bluetooth earbuds, it would seem.

Apple, like many other big tech companies, goes to great lengths to protect your personal data from internet ne’er-do-wells. However, even the most powerful security features are useless in the face of determined human ignorance.

Asus revealed its latest gaming phone today, the predictably named ROG Phone 9 and ROG Phone 9 Pro. These devices are the first retail devices to run the brand-new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and you can eke every bit of performance from that chip with the performance-tuned ROG Phone 9. You can even attach a cooling fan to keep the device frosty during long gaming sessions, but neither the fan nor the phone are cheap.

Today, the Unreal game engine is everywhere, but it debuted in an iconic, eponymous shooter in 1998. The original Unreal, and the multiplayer followup Unreal Tournament, have maintained a cult following all these years, and now they’ve got a new lease on life.

A new report from Japan’s Nikkei reveals it costs Google about $400 to build each Pixel 9 Pro. It’s not a cheap piece of hardware, but it pales in comparison to what Apple spends on the comparable iPhone. Smartphones continue to
