Use this ‘Fire Emblem Heroes’ cheat to get better heroes for your team
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 24 views
Nintendo's latest mobile game, Fire Emblem Heroes, arrived on iOS and Android platforms this week. Unlike Super Mario Run, it's a true free-to-play game, which means that you can play through the entire game without spending a dime. Of course, if you are willing to spend a dime, you can unlock more of the game's dozens of heroes from Fire Emblem lore, which will make your team stronger and the game easier. Sadly, whether you spend money or not, you can't control which heroes the game spits out when you spend "Orbs" -- a form of currency you can collect by completing missions or buying it outright. But rather than just accepting the heroes the game gives you, you can "r…

If you own a couple of devices made by different brands, it’s quite likely that at least one of them has a different setup for its navigation bar. For example, Samsung sets its navigation keys out as Recents, Home, and Back, while on Google’s Pixel the default setting is Back, Home, and Recents.

External HDD support finally coming to PS4 in next system software update
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 26 views
Back when the PlayStation 4 launched in 2013, critics weren't shy about heaping praise on to Sony's new console, but there were several fundamental issues that needed addressing. The endless list of apps on the home screen was too difficult to navigate, the launch lineup was disappointing and the PS4 lacked external hard drive support. The first of those two issues were resolved in the years after launch, but to this day, PS4 owners still have to manually replace the hard drive inside their PS4s if they want to expand their storage. In 2017, over three years after the console hit store shelves, that's finally going to change. Continue reading... Trending right no…

Scientists just discovered chunks of a ‘lost continent’ in a volcano

The idea of a "lost continent" is a romantic notion that has long since passed from the realm of possibility, but while the chances of actually discovering inhabitable land masses we don't yet know about is essentially zero, researchers believe they now have hard evidence that chunks of the supercontinent Gondwana are actually hidden underneath the island nation of Mauritius.

Earlier this week, reports emerged that LG's new UltraFine 5K Display, the spiritual successor to Apple's Thunderbolt Display, stops working if it's located too close to a Wi-Fi router.

When you become one of the leading private space flight companies on the planet you can bet that the government is going to have a whole lot of interest in what you're up to. SpaceX is one of those companies, and after an investigation from the Government Accountability Office, it appears as though the firm's pricey Falcon 9 rockets aren't up to federal standards.

Who’s making Galaxy S8 batteries (and will they explode)?
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 17 views
It’s early February, and it looks like Samsung has not yet settled exactly on which batteries are going to be used in the upcoming Galaxy S8. Well, Samsung still tapped its subsidiary Samsung SDI to make Galaxy S8 batteries. That’s the same company that made one of the two types of batteries that powered the Galaxy Note 7 — batteries from both Note 7 suppliers had defects that turned the phones into explosive devices, however. This time around, it looks like Samsung wants even more diversity in its battery supply chain for the Galaxy S8 series. Continue reading...

Bargain hunters, we have some good news and bad news. The good news is that the Logitech Harmony Smart Control just dropped back down to its lowest price ever on Amazon.

As part of the papers filed for its IPO yesterday, Snpachat's parent company Snap revealed the ownership and power structure that the company will use moving forwards. Snap CEO Evan Spiegel and CTO Robert Murphy will have the majority of the company's voting shares, while regular investors will have no voting rights at all. The move is described as "highly unusual," which it is for a regular company. But for a Silicon Valley behemoth run by evangelical founders who want to change the world, it's becoming increasingly common. Continue reading...
