We're always on the lookout for well-designed, portable Bluetooth speakers, and the Transparent Light Speaker certainly qualifies – it's been crafted to look like a small lantern, with a variety of lighting effects (including flickering flames) available.

 
 
 
 
Facebook is changing its name to Meta – the company that is, not the social networking app – which means properties like WhatsApp need rebranding, and that rebranding has already started rolling out across beta versions of WhatsApp.

 
 
 
 
 
 
iFixit has posted another of its meticulously written breakdowns, focusing on the new MacBook Pro models from Apple – and while they're not exactly easy to pull apart and repair, they have scored higher than their predecessors for repairability.

Offering the ease of use, reliability and security that business demands, these compact printers won't slow you down.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If the rumors are true, Apple is working on some kind of AR or VR headset, and it's being tipped to make its debut at some point next year. According to the latest rumors, it could be a pricey device, with advanced specs and a premium display.

 
 
 
 
 
 
The Samsung Galaxy S22 could well be the first major flagship launch of 2022, and thanks to some unofficial but high-quality renders that have hit the web, we've now got a better idea of what the standard and Plus models might end up looking like.

Of the thousands of Fine Art posts we've run over the last decade, nearly every single one of them has focused on the digital world, whether they be lavish environmental sketches or 3D models made for a video game. Tonight, I figured we could do with a break, and look at something a little more real.

I've featured the work of Alyson Tabbitha a bunch of times here on Kotaku, because she's just the best. Her make-up work is transformative, and in the past she has shape-shifted into everyone from Wonder Woman to Jack Sparrow to Leeloo Dallas.

New World's launch has been plagued by a bunch of weird, sometimes catastrophic bugs, but this latest is one of the strangest I've ever seen: it let you kick other players out of the game just by sending them certain messages.

     Rocket League Text Chat FeatureIt's been approximately two months since I rid myself of the toxic chat in Rocket League. I didn't really know why such a simple feature like disabling text chat in a game would prove so beneficial. But, as I started to really dissect my online interactions, things I started to discover that I was becoming part of the problem that I so desperately tried to avoid.  Since its release, I've invested endless hours into the competitive game featuring nitrous-powered rocket cars. Despite how silly that sounds to the uninitiated, I genuinely appreciate how it's exposed me to a genre that I never knew I would enjoy as much as I have. However, in recent months, I found myself struggling to really rediscover that Rocket League spark that initially reeled me in.   My gaming habits have undoubtedly changed over the years. I went from being a casual gamer to exploring genres and games completely out of my comfort zone. This was especially the case when I started reviewing games and writing ...

We're just a little bit late, but here is our Halloween video! I'm a big fan of scary moments in Nintendo titles – those strange and dark instances in a game that is otherwise colorful and full of happiness. But recently, I get the feeling that things have changed as those moments are less present or sometimes very well hidden....

     So many games these days release broken or have their review code held back until the very last minute because the developers and the publisher aren't confident about the reception. It's so refreshing when indie developers come along and are proud and confident of their work. So confident, in fact, that Exor Studios have a demo of The Riftbreaker available to play, plus the Prologue. That confidence is well-founded, though, because while The Riftbreaker does have some problems it's also a great blending of genres, combining base-building and some good 'ol fashioned shootin'.
