Intel has publicly held up its hands and admitted that its new Intel Arrow Lake gaming CPU release didn't go according to plan, saying that it found the experience "humbling." However, the company says it's already working on new updates that could help boost performance, in an effort to make its new Intel Core Ultra gaming CPUs more appealing to gamers. Intel has had a truly terrible year, with the previous Intel Raptor Lake lineup suffering from catastrophic voltage faults that caused irreparable CPU damage, and the new Intel Arrow Lake launch hasn't helped on the gaming front, as we found in our recent Core Ultra 7 265K review. Meanwhile, its arch-rival AMD is once again holding the crown for the best gaming CPU, as we found in our AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D review last week. Continue reading Intel just admitted its Arrow Lake launch “didn’t go as planned,” promises fixes MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Core i5 14600K review, Best gaming CPU, Core i9 14900K review

Image: Xbox Game Studios The wait for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is almost over — the game launches on December 9th — so developer MachineGames is providing a deeper look at how the archaeological adventure will actually play. The Wolfenstein studio released a nearly 15-minute-long video, which seems to give a very good idea of what to expect in the full release. That includes plenty of cryptic puzzle solving inside of ancient ruins, and lots of using a whip in both combat and traversal. While the exploration is obviously at the heart of the game, the new video makes it look like there will be quite a bit of variety to the combat as well. The hand-to-hand brawling looks a bit like a boxing game, but you can combine it with the whip to pull enemies... Continue reading…

Amazon’s rumored smart glasses for delivery drivers would have an embedded display, unlike the audio-only consumer version. | Image: David Pierce / The Verge Amazon is developing smart glasses for delivery drivers, Reuters reports. The aim is to give drivers turn-by-turn directions, thereby shaving seconds off of each delivery. Citing anonymous Amazon sources, Reuters says the project is part of Amazon’s efforts to increase efficiency in the last 100 yards of a delivery. Codenamed “Amelia”, the smart glasses are based off the existing Echo Frames platform. Unlike the current audio-only Frames they would have an embedded display that could give a driver more precise directions — for example, turning left or right after getting off an elevator. Amazon is also exploring camera capabilities using that embedded display, enabling drivers to take photos of packages as proof of delivery.... Continue reading…

Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photo from Getty Images If autonomous vehicles are to go mainstream, they need to go as far as they can to ensure the safety of everyone on the road. And no one is in more need of protection than so-called vulnerable road users like pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists, thousands of whom are killed every year. Waymo, the robotaxi company owned by Alphabet, recently published a new study examining hundreds of these types of crashes involving vulnerable road users, which it is calling “the largest dataset of its kind in the US.” Roughly 40,000 people in the US are killed each year in vehicle crashes. But while automakers have become very good at protecting people inside of vehicles, they have essentially neglected the safety of people outside of them. M... Continue reading…

With the M4 Mac mini now available, we have discovered more about Apple's entry-level desktop. While reviews have already shown that this is one of the best computers Apple has ever made, there's another reason to consider the entry-level model when buying a new Mac. For $599 (we're not considering the education price, which is even more enticing), consumers get the all-new M4 chip, 16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-C ports in the front, and some other peripherals support as well. The new base version, with 16GB of RAM, is more than enough for most users and will be key for running upcoming Apple Intelligence features. However, the maximum storage is likely too low for people, as we tend to store more files on the computer rather than on our phones and tablets. However, with teardowns of the new M4 Mac mini, people discovered that Apple offers modular storage for this computer. With that, it's possible to upgrade the SSD, even though this is not a task that everyone at home will be able to perform. Upgradeable storage for the M4 Mac mini is one of the best features we could get A few people have shown how to upgrade the M4 Mac mini storage on YouTube. User dosdude 1 opened up the base model and upgraded the storage capacity from 256GB to 1TB. YouTuber Quinn Nelson also shared a comprehensive teardown of the Mac mini. Basically, the best way to upgrade the Mac mini's storage is to remove the original AND storage chips from the board using a heat gun, recall the new NAND chips, solder them to the board, and restore the Mac mini in DFU mode. While Apple charges up to an extra $800 for a 2TB chip, you can get it at a much fairer price. If you know a proper repair center, it will be cheaper to buy a NAND chip yourself and ask them to upgrade your Mac mini. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYlF0NVXS70 Wrap up With the Mac mini offering this level of customizability, I hope this becomes a new standard by Apple, which, more than a decade ago, let users upgrade some of the components of their Macs.
