Let’s begin with Apple TV, a streaming box that is largely unnoticeable when discussing Apple’s sales figures. Of the three devices in the title, Apple TV is oddly the most independent. It is, for the lack of better word, an iPhone of a streaming box. It supports majority of the streaming services via third party…
There are already leaked insider talks and rumors of how Microsoft higher-ups see of its gaming division. And it isn’t completely alienated from the yes mens I’ve seen on the internet; the idea was that with seemingly infinite budget Microsoft could muster, the entire console market is within reach. Suffice it to say, throwing money…
I’ve been using ‘magnetic tip cables’, including Apple’s laptop MagSafe and old USB-A magnetic tip cables from generic brands, not knowing the full risks of what they entail. Before I get into the story, I do want to make one thing clear: Apple’s MagSafe is safe. It’s not the reason why I am writing this…
Computerworld has been keeping scores on Android smartphones since Android 9 on how major manufacturer is pushing out Android updates to their yesteryear’s products. Latest one came out on March 2025, and the score board is a blood bath. But this post is not about Android — how manufacturers are only interested in selling latest…
There are rumors iPhone Air is a stepping stone toward a possible foldable iPhone set for 2026, 27, or even 28. Some are already speculating Apple will adopt foldable form factor starting with iPhone 18; hence, they added, iPhone 17 is less likely to succeed from the usual upgrade cycle. We won’t know the sales…
Apple is set to release new iPhones, Apple Watches, and possibly some minor gadgets such as AirPods this coming Tuesday. The rumors surrounding each and every one of them were too comprehensive to the point the actual Keynote is likely going to be a repeat of the rumor mixed with Federighi’s “crack product marketing team”…
I don’t closely follow news on PC component manufacturer, especially not on PSU. I do recall, back when I could confidentially call myself an enthusiast, there were several brands called out for being unreliable. Now, this is where the stories often get even more juicer — when a manufacturer is not directly selling its products…
I thought to expand on the whole regional support issue I had mentioned in the prior post. If you are here for the “regional support” only, the only relevant info from the previous op-ed is that it was one of the reasons why I ended up selling my machine. Warranty and importation in South Korea…
This is merely a beginning of my long journey into transition out of Intel Macs. I first started looking into how other Intel Mac owners are faring in South Korea, as the region is quite unusual when it comes to trade-ins, and I wanted to see what my options were with my old Mac Pro.…
If you have been plagued by the recent YouTube’s AI dubbing, video title and description, that’s the kind of problems that is happening across all Google platform. I am talking about the Google Search results. And believe me when I say it, when I google something in Korean, I expect it to pick up Korean…
Even before AI slops became a known issue for wider internet, I believe the gamers saw it firsthand how a new tool, in the name of asset libraries, can be easily abused. These days, most developers use a game engine such as Unity, and with it, they use purchasable assets that would have been needed…
Apple has already announced macOS 26 Tahoe will be the last major update for Intel Macs. The announcement roughly translates to Intel Macs will have one more year of software support until 2027, and with the release of macOS 27, x86 Macs will be no more. Not that it will decommission itself; but I’m already…
The Exit 8 has opened the new subgenre of horror games, which I would dub as Exit 8-like. These new indie horror games share the same gameplay principle: a. the player is in a looping environment, b. if there is an anomaly (e.g. jump scares, out of place objects, etc.), act according to the game’s…
Back in November 2024, VMware Fusion became free for personal use. It was a big shocker at the time, especially when the end days of Intel Macs didn’t seem to be dated yet. VMware on x86 machines had been a competitive product against Parallels, both paid solutions to running Windows on Macs, until 4 years…
I was in the process of researching and investigating for an op-ed I was preparing for, — FYI, still far away to start writing a draft — and I was hit with a problem much sooner than I thought. Gamers were using “game” as a term quite colloquially. The serious games, as they put it,…
