Elden Ring is full of many fantastical locations spread out across the Lands Between, but few are quite as ominous and foreboding as Volcano Manor. Its an iconic location, found in Mt. Gelmir, and it serves as a nexus point for several NPC questlines. You will encounter several old and new characters with which to interact.

Baldur's Gate 3 was the massive breakout hit of 2023 for Larian Studios, with everyone and their mothers playing the epic fantasy RPG. Now it seems as though Larian is cooking up something different that they hope will challenge its biggest game to date as they refocus on their next title.

Leica’s new D-Lux 8 point-and-shoot camera. | Image: Leica Leica has a new $1,595 compact digital camera called D-Lux 8 — a follow-up to the discontinued D-Lux 7 launched way back in 2018 for $1,195. There are a lot of similarities between the two despite that price increase: they both house a non-detachable Leica 24-75mm zoom lens, contain a 21-megapixel four-thirds CMOS sensor, and have a similar design. But now, there’s new software under the hood and changes in controls — more on that later. Many of Leica’s flagship products come at premium prices (exhibit A: the SL3 for $7,000). But with the D-Lux 8, the company is continuing its line of “budget-friendly” point and shoots. The new model comes at a time when classy, easy-to-use cameras with film-style image quality, like the Fujifilm X100VI... Continue reading…

Introduced during CES 2024, BlueAnt is finally releasing Soundblade, an under-monitor soundbar to elevate your desktop audio. Compatible with Mac, PCs, monitors, and laptop speakers in general, the company wants to provide a "convenient and powerful" desktop audio solution that addresses the "often thin and lifeless sound quality" of most monitors and laptop speakers. Although MacBook, iMac, and Studio Display users can't complain about Apple's audio quality, I was quite frustrated with Samsung's ViewFinity S9 sound quality, which is very shallow. If you're using a monitor with your Mac or a Windows laptop, this could make your audio experience way better. The Soundblade under-monitor soundbar has a very elegant look and comes in several colors to match your monitor: charcoal, white, pink, blue, and green. These colorful options are a perfect match for the new iMac models. Image source: BlueAnt Whether gaming, watching movies, streaming YouTube videos, or using it for conference calls, the Soundblade soundbar brings high-definition, immersive sound with 120 watts of peak power, 2.1 channel sound, and a built-in 80mm neodymium subwoofer. With these specs, BlueAnt promises "thundering audio with deep bass, crystal-clear dialogue, rich music, and dynamic sound effects." The company says this product delivers a "mini-cinema experience." At the same time, gamers can get "an unprecedented level of immersion, delivering heightened realism and auditory detail to bring virtual worlds to life." Soundblade, available for $199.99, is compatible with PC, Mac, PS5, PS4, Bluetooth, and AUX. The soundbar has a plug-and-play design to seamlessly sync with users' laptops, smartphones, and tablets as well. The Soundblade soundbar is available on Amazon and BestBuy in Charcoal and White, but Amazon users can also choose this product in Pink, Blue, and Green.

Nikki Haley said Wednesday that she will be voting for Donald Trump in the general election, a notable show of support given their intense and often personal rivalry during the Republican primary calendar.

Former President Donald Trump's criminal trial not being televised is both preventing the public from seeing a judge acting as a "tyrant," and failing to offer a "check on partisan reporting," according to legal expert Alan Dershowitz.
