PS5 and Xbox Series X will have cross-gen games – does that put you off?

I bought my PS4 in 2014, and by 2018, it started auto-ejecting discs. I bought my precious backwards-compatible PS3 (secondhand) in 2007, and by 2009, I got the yellow light of death. I got my PS2 for Christmas 2001, and by the end of 2002, it'd stopped playing blue discs. By 2006, it stopped playing discs altogether, and I bought a Slim model to replace it. Look, I'm not saying all PlayStation consoles break – my Vita and PSP are still going strong – but I've always had bad luck buying home consoles early in the machine's lifespan. With the PS5 , I'm unclear on whether I want to rush into buying one, especially since I own a gaming PC that'll keep up with third-party games. If I wait a year or two, they might release a model with a bigger SSD, or drop the price, or iron out any issues the launch units might have. With Microsoft and publishers like Ubisoft and Square Enix committing to cross-generation games in the early part of the machine's lifes

Windows 10 is about to get its biggest change yet

Microsoft is giving Windows 10's File Explorer a much-needed overhaul, transforming one of the operating system's key features. It's always been a struggle to find documents and folders using File Explorer due to its relatively poor search tool. That's all set to change with the release of Windows 10 20H1 though, which will introduce a new FIle Explorer that uses Windows Search (the same tool you can access by typing into the search box in the taskbar.

iPhonen palautus voi muuttua pian paljon käytännöllisemmäksi

Apple näyttäisi testaavan toiminnallisuutta, jolla iPhonen tai iPadin palautus tehdasasetuksille onnistuisi puhelimen kautta verkon välityksellä. Väite perustuu tietoihin, jotka näyttäisivät ominaisuuden tulevan iOS 13.4.-version kolmanteen betaan. Betassa nimittäin mainitaan toiminto nimeltä "OS Recovery", joka näyttäisi olevan keino palauttaa iOS- ja Apple-laite verkon välityksellä. Sen perusteella toimenpiteen voisi tehdä myös nähtävästi liittämällä haluttu laite toiseen iPhoneen tai iPadiin. Näin palautat iPhonen tehdasasetuksille Nämä ovat parhaat iPhonet tällä hetkellä Mitä tiedämme iPhone 12:sta ? Nykyään, jos Apple-laitteen haluaa palauttaa alkuperäisiin asetuksiin, käyttäjä joutuu liittämään laitteen tietokoneeseen. Jos jatkossa toiminnon voisi tehdä suoraan verkon välityksellä, se helpottaisi toimenpidettä huomattavasti. Se tekisi palautuksesta samalla huomattavasti samankaltaisen kuin Applen Migration Assistant -työkalu toimii tällä hetkellä Maceissa. Ja etenk

Apple AirPods X just leaked - what are they and why are they so expensive?

Rumors of a pair of Apple over-ear headphones have been circling for a while now, and now an inventory listing from US store Target, may have revealed the price of the hotly-anticipated cans. YouTuber Jon Prosser posted an image to Twitter, purporting to show the upcoming over-ear headphones in Target's system, mysteriously listed as "Apple AirPods (X Generation)". The product in the image appears to cost $399, which works out at around £300 / AU$600 – if these are the rumored Apple StudioPods, then the brand is aiming for the higher end of the price scale, surpassing the cost of competitors like the Sony WH-1000XM3 and the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 . Prosser also speculates that the Apple over-ear headphones could come in a range of colors, citing the existence of three different product codes, all priced at $399. So far, Apple's existing headphones, the EarPods, AirPods , and AirPods Pro , have only ever been available in white, though Apple-owne

Fenerbahce vs Galatasaray live stream: how to watch the Intercontinental Derby 2019-20 from anywhere

Turkey's latest Intercontinental Derby is upon us, with Fenerbahce set to go head-to-head against bitter rivals Galatasaray in Istanbul today - and we're here to tell you all the easiest ways to watch a Fenerbahce vs Galatasaray live stream, no matter where you happen to be. The Turkish Super Lig match is called the Intercontinental Derby because the two sides sit on opposite sides of the Bosporus river, so Galatasaray is technically in Europe and Fenerbahce is in Asia - hence the idea that they span two continents. It's also known as the Eternal Rivalry and dates back more than 110 years, with Galatasaray beating Fenerbahce by a 2-0 score in their first ever encounter all the back in 1909, when Turkey was still part of the Ottoman Empire. Over the years, the two clubs have become the most successful - and best supported - in Turkish football history, so it's as openly hostile as football rivalries get. Take last year's encounter as an example, which saw an assi

Italy vs Scotland live stream: how to watch Six Nations 2020 rugby online from anywhere

The third weekend of the 2020 Six Nations brings together two teams who may yet again be fighting things out to avoid the wooden spoon. Don't miss a moment of the action, no matter where you are in the world, with our Six Nations 2020 Italy vs Scotland live stream guide. Scotland gave a good account of themselves in trying conditions against England at Murrayfield in their last Six Nations clash but lost 6-13 a closely-contested game. Coach Gregor Townsend will be looking for more of the same at the Stadio Olimpico against an Italy side that has not won a game in the Six Nations in five years. Townsend will likely keep favour with the majority of the side that did so well against England, but Matt Fagerson, Sam Skinner both look set to be included in the squad. Similarly, Italian interim head coach Franco Smith will likely keep faith with much of the side that managed to frustrate France for long periods of their last match. The last time the Azzurri tasted victory in the tourna

Want a Valve Index to play Half-Life: Alyx? Coronavirus could make that harder

Valve’s VR headset has been completely sold out for some time now, and although promises have previously been made that the Valve Index will be back in stock before the launch of Half-Life: Alyx , it seems that the coronavirus will mean far fewer units than expected will actually go on sale. The outbreak of the virus has had a considerable impact across the tech world, particularly in terms of interfering with the shipping of components and hardware, and Valve has told UploadVR that it will impact the availability levels of its VR hardware. Has Half-Life: Alyx brought VR back from the dead ? Best VR headset : which headset should you buy? Best VR games of 2020 : our pick of all the virtual reality games There will apparently be “far fewer units” for sale in the coming months than Valve originally thought, although the company still insists that there will be stock available to buy before the launch of Half-Life: Alyx.

Best business VPN providers of 2020

Using one of the best VPN s is extremely important for any modern business which has a flexible and mobile workforce.

Consumer VPNs are generally used for individual preferences like unblocking a website or service, while bu

Kaspersky denies it’s responsible for Windows 10 update fails as blame game commences

Microsoft has pulled a critical Windows 10 update that was causing installation issues, and while the update was supposed to fix a security issue with Kaspersky's Rescue Disk software, the security company is denying that it is the cause of the update's problem. Windows 10 KB4524244 was supposed to fix a security vulnerability in the Kaspersky Rescue Disk software, which was publicly disclosed in April 2019. Although Kaspersky claimed it fixed the issue in August 2019, in February 2020 Microsoft released the Windows 10 KB4524244 update that revokes the UEFI signatures in a bid to “prevent attacks against Secure Boot using doctored previous versions of Kaspersky Rescue Disk” according to Kaspersky.
