Most likely it is a rationalization to keep the rules streamlined and manageable.

Then, after some research, I discovered that it has scenarios, achievements, challenges, etc. and was immediately sold. Not only do I adore nature themed games, but it just looked so colorful, bright, and fun!For your very first game, the setup time will be quite lengthy (30 40 minutes) because all trees must be constructed, flowers and player boards need to be punched out, and the insert has to be put together.

30 April 2025 @ 2:46 am

Spotify has added five million premium users in the first quarter of this year (between January and March), the company has just revealed.

The streaming service has also reported a record quarterly operating income of €509 million (about $528 million). Revenue was €4.2 billion, or around $4.8 billion.

iPhone 18 models to get enhanced memory, iPhone 17 series to have 12GB of RAM

29 April 2025 @ 11:58 pm

According to a new rumor from the usual reliable Digital Chat Station over on Weibo, all four iPhone 17 models will sport 12GB of RAM, and the A19 Pro chip used for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will be made on TSMC's 3nm process with significantly improved performance versus the A18 Pro. A previous rumor claimed three out of four members of the iPhone 17 family were set to get 12GB of RAM, with the vanilla model still up in the air until next month when Apple would be finalizing its decision regarding it. Additionally, the iPhone 18 family is said to be switching to using a...

Samsung is making this Ferris wheel free for two weeks

29 April 2025 @ 8:11 pm

In what may be the weirdest promo in a few weeks at least, Samsung is now advertising its Galaxy S25 series and Galaxy AI by providing everyone with a free ride on The View Ferris wheel in Brussels, Belgium, on Place Poelaert. This normally costs €10 to ride, but from May 3 until May 18, it will be free as Samsung is apparently paying for everyone's tickets. As you can see from the image above, Samsung's Galaxy AI will feature prominently on the wheel itself. The Ferris wheel lets you have a "spectacular view of the Brussels skyline", the Korean company says, and of course it...

Samsung's One UI 8 based on Android 16 to AI summarize any online video

Xiaomi 16 to have the best smaller screen and biggest battery for its size

29 April 2025 @ 4:19 pm

Back in March we heard that the Xiaomi 16 would have a larger screen size compared to its predecessor's 6.36-inch panel. While that rumor didn't mention a specific size for the upcoming device, now a new rumor out of China kind of contradicts it, saying the Xiaomi 16's display will be in the 6.3" range still. So that could be up to 6.39", which of course is larger than 6.36", even though by such a tiny amount that it wouldn't really be noticeable. Anyway, today's rumor goes on to claim that this will be the best and most beautiful smaller screen, coming with insanely tiny bezels and eye...

So, here goes: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the US,...

Samsung's Galaxy A56, A36, and A26 will make it easier to invoke Gemini

It will be available through a software update that will be rolling out to the aforementioned trio of Galaxy A devices starting in early May (thus we assume it's the same update that will bring the May security patches).

Report: Apple cancels iPhone 17 Pro's new anti-reflective display

29 April 2025 @ 1:24 pm

Apple will be unable to introduce a new anti-reflective coating on the iPhone 17 Pro displays, 9to5Mac reports. According to its sources, the new scratch-resistant display solution faced problems scaling up the production, and Apple is no longer considering the feature for the iPhone 17 Pro models. The yields of the new anti-reflective coating iPhone displays was too low, considering the millions of devices that Apple needs to manufacture, even if the feature was limited only to the Pro and Pro Max units. Currently, Apple does use a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating, but it...

Oppo Find X9 Pro will switch things up in the camera department

29 April 2025 @ 11:48 am

Oppo launched the Find X8 Pro in October, and so its successor is probably coming around the same month this year. Ahead of that, we're now hearing that the Find X9 Pro will significantly alter its camera setup compared to its predecessor. According to a new rumor out of China, the Find X9 Pro will only have three rear cameras, unlike the X8 Pro which has four. There will be only one periscope, and it probably won't surprise you to find out that it will be using a large 200 MP sensor. Oppo Find X8 Pro It's unclear if this will be the same Samsung ISOCELL HP9 sensor that everyone...
