    Civilization VII, one month later: The community and developers chime in

    I've played Civ since the dawn of time - not necessarily each version as much as the other - but I love this type of game. Civ6 still is a game I spin up on my iPad on travels since now is in a nice state. Never got into Civ5 for some reason but I think it was more due to other things in life...

    Automattic shirked duty to keep WordPress free for everyone, lawsuit says

    This was one of the reasons I decided that for our next update for our big company site (magazine) we would no longer go with Wordpress (even though we have been happy) and started to build a another site in Payload CMS with a Next.JS front-end to "train" for our main site upgrade later this...

    Amazon’s RTO delays highlight why workers get so mad about mandates

    Sounds like my last job. After 100% WFH during the pandemic they started to ask us Devs to come in to work again. Problem was that at the same time they had moved us to a smaller office AND there were suddenly not enough places for the whole dev team to sit and work. So they started to set up a...

    In rare move from printing industry, HP actually has a decent idea

    I occasionally do need to print stuff for either work or my kids football teams so we needed a printer at home. We got a Samsung color laser but honestly that thing ended up being damn expensive as the toners were expensive and I feel we had to switch them way to often. In april 2023 I had the...

    30th-anniversary limited-run PS5 and PS5 Pro bring back mid-’90s gray plastic

    Heh, I still have the 20th Anniversary PS4 somewhere. I stupidly opened the box to look at it, put it away (I already had a regular PS4) and forgot about it. I guess it would be fun to have the 30th also although not sure why really.

    New color E Ink reMarkable tablet tries to catch up with—and leapfrog—Kindle Scribe

    I bought the original Remarkable 1 and then a 2 as soon as it was released. It is one of the best and most used tech purchase for me. I'm one of those who needs to scribble thoughts, ideas, code etc when working. It helps my thought-process and definitely helps my coding (I'm a developer) as I...

    Stratasys sues Bambu Lab over patents used widely by consumer 3D printers

    That's not how Bambu Labs Printers work though ..... they have 1 print-head. Also they actually do not use a purge tower, they basically just "poop" a (varying) amount of filament into a small ball and discard it from the printer. Then it runs a small prime tower to equealize the pressure in the...

    Star Trek’s Comic-Con panel debuts teaser for Lower Decks final season

    What pisses me off is that it has become completely impossible to watch either Lower Decks or Prodigy here in Sweden over the last few years. Prime had the 2 first seasons for LD and even show season 3 and 4 in the list but just "not available" while Prodigy's first season was on ... one of the...

    HP sued (again) for blocking third-party ink from printers, accused of monopoly

    At home we went to a Samsung color Laser a while ago since we wanted to get rid of the Hp inkjet since they started with a lot of crap regarding OEM inkjet. Problem turned out that replacing the toners was really espensive and of course the printer wouldn't let me print black/white even if it...

    Facebook AI moderator confused videos of mass shootings and car washes

    Yeah, I follow a bunch of model related groups where people post images of their nice models of WWII airplanes. And guess what some of the german planes have .... yup. Small swastikas on the tail fin. So now most groups requier everyone to blurr a swastika on a modelplan as they otherwise can...

    How to transfer save data from one Nintendo Switch to another

    My son got my original Switch when I bought the 2019 switch. I left it as the primary as I wanted him to be able to play our games (we buy games together) from his account on the switch. I have run into the issue where we, for example, are travleing on boat and both want to play and I realizing...

    Valheim is the endless Viking survival game we have craved for years

    Haha, exactly what I was thinking. Just told my 12 year old son that we need to play this new game Valheim. He loves Minecraft but also strategy games (City Skylines, Heart of Iron 4, Europa Universalis 4, Civ VI etc) and I think together this will be a great game to experience together. Going...

    We’ve got our first real look at Loki as Disney drops lengthy teaser trailer

    I used to watch Legends of Tomorrow and to some extend Flash and Supergirl but everytime they had their "crossovers" I got frustrated because suddenly I had to try to match up and find the relevant episode in Arrow, Flash, Supergirl etc so I could watch them in order and also catch up with...

    How Romain Grosjean walked away from F1’s scariest crash in decades

    Fire in a F1-race still brings back bad memorys from when I was 8 in 1978 and our own super-swede Ronnie Petterson died from the injuries at Monza when his car was on fire. I'm happy that the cars are getting safer. You don'tnhave to go back many years when such an accident would have a high...

    Clear your calendar and desk: Lego’s ISS-inspired set arrives on February 1

    Looks like this is decently priced. Just picked up the Old Trafford set (https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/old- ... ited-10272) for my son (arrives tomorrow) so happy this is not that expensive. Because I need to have it .....

    Google defends its use of Wi-Fi 5 in Nest Wifi

    I recently wrote a small review for a Swedish site of the ASUS RT-AX92U. This is a 2-device mesh-system with Wi-Fi 6. ASUS has made the decision to use WI-Fi 6 for the backhaul (the Wi-.Fi 6 5 GHz band is actually hidden by default) and use the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi 5 -bands for the clients...

    Samsung makes the Galaxy Note 10 official

    Minority? I don't know where you are so it is possible that this is true there, but where I live (Sweden) I can tell you absolutely no, wired headphones are NOT the minority. While airpods and other wireless headbuds are getting more popular the vast majority of people you see on trains, busses...

    Samsung makes the Galaxy Note 10 official

    I have a Note9 which I am very satisfied with. I was thinking of getting the Note 10 but now I'm a bit unsure. The main issue for me is actually though JUST the lack of headphone jack. - I have no issues living without a user changeable battery. Even when I had phones where I could change...

    Unannounced Google Assistant headphones show up at Best Buy

    It's of course nice to see these assistants moving to other products but as a Swede I'm still waiting for either Google Home or Alexa to even support Sweden. Heck, I would love it if they could just add support for countries even though you would have to talk English .... We had the same issue...

    No Man’s Sky Windows port launched today, is kind of a mess

    Bought this for my son on PC while I planned on gaming on the PS4 but I'll wait a while before letting him play until they fixed everything. FWIW - I started playing it on the PS4 today and withing about 3 hours I had my first solid crash where I lost a lot of progress since I had been out for...
