Review: 1754: Conquest – The French and Indian War:: Modified Game Rules

16 June 2026 @ 2:55 pm

by tdinpaz1 1754 - Conquest is an excellent basic game of the French and Indian War. However, the game, while listing four factions - British Regulars, British Colonials, French Regulars, and French Canadiens - actually has only two factions, British and French. The British Colonials and French Canadians are really just extra blocks for the British and French Crowns, providing an additional turn for each as well. There is no distinction between British Regulars and British Colonials, nor between French Regulars and French Canadians, where victory conditions are concerned: the game treats each pair of factions as unified actors when determining victory.The war actually witnessed significant divisions between the French Crown and the French "Canadians," and even deeper divisions between the British Crown and the American Colonists, especially where the Native tribes were concerned. Each of these four factions had its o

Reply: Ashes Reborn: Red Rains – The Frostwild Scourge:: General:: Re: Status tokens

16 June 2026 @ 2:55 pm

by phibilip Note that for the red flower card it's removal of all tokens, not just status tokens. So if you can get a status token or alteration spell on one of your units, you can use that card to remove all wound and exhaustion tokens, giving you a nice fresh unit to use. If you can do it to a heavily wounded big unit: nice fresh unit plus a damage as bonus. So throwing a status token on a unit would enable this card which could be quite good even if the status token itself doesn't do anything for that unit.

Reply: Katarenga:: General:: Re: Weighting the Pawns

16 June 2026 @ 2:54 pm

by Gamegrunt I've now played my copy twice in a sunlit room, and I must condemn the publisher's choice of pawns for Katarenga. They are wooden, but the wood chosen has only a slightly greater density than balsa. While the size and shape of the pawns are appropriate, the lack of quality in the production of the individual pawns is totally apparent in good lighting. Some of my pawns look damaged or poorly turned out. Really, the best solution is just to use the pawns from a decent chess set. I have such a set, but I'll be on the lookout for a good plastic set with useful pawns that I can cannibalize.

Intel CPU Shortage to Worsen in 2H2019

13 March 2019 @ 12:30 am

According to a recent report by Digitimes, Intel’s CPU supply shortage will continue to worsen through the 2H2019 as demand for entry level and mainstream notebooks such as Chromebooks and Core i3-based notebooks continue to increase without the proper increase in supply to sustain the growth. Supply shortages in 3Q2018 began impacting major notebook vendors […]

In a stunning move from Nvidia earlier this week, the GPU company announced that they would finally begin supporting adaptive sync functionality on AMD FreeSync monitors.

Commodore announces Callback 8020, a phone "between dumb and smart"

17 June 2026 @ 1:31 am

Commodore is making a phone that isn't a full-on smartphone, nor is it a dumbphone. It straddles the line in a very obviously nostalgia-baiting fashion. Before we talk about the new Commodore Callback 8020, let's get something out of the way first. Commodore International Corporation (CIC), which now owns the brand, was established last year by Christian Simpson, a tech YouTuber who is the CEO. He's brought on some ex-employees of the original company, but this isn't the Commodore of old rising from the ashes like a Phoenix. It's an entirely different company which bought the rights to the...

No, the foldable iPhone Ultra has not been delayed, claims leakster

17 June 2026 @ 12:02 am

Yesterday, reports claimed that the foldable iPhone Ultra will be delayed until early next year – however, leakster Fixed Focus Digital believes these reports are false. According to FFD’s sources, production capacity is limited, but that doesn’t mean that the announcement has been delayed. Instead, the Ultra will be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September as originally planned. The actual release of the foldable may be delayed, but only by a month at most, claims the leakster. As we mentioned yesterday, something like this has happened before – the iPhone X was...

ChatGPT grows user base to over 1.1 billion but its market share is shrinking

16 June 2026 @ 10:33 pm

OpenAI's ChatGPT had an early start in the AI chatbot race, which cemented its dominant position that it's held for years. However, that is now eroding. For the first time ever, ChatGPT now has less than 50% of the AI chatbot pie, as its competitors have made massive strides lately. By May, ChatGPT's market share was down to 46.4%, followed most closely by Gemini (27.7%) and Claude (10.3%). 46% market share is still impressive, but ChatGPT started at 100% all those years ago, let's not forget. On the other hand, more and more people are using AI chatbots, with ChatGPT going over the...

Meta's Threads celebrates 500 million users with a bunch of new features

16 June 2026 @ 9:03 pm

There was a time when many Twitter alternatives popped up, and Meta couldn't resist throwing its hat in this game too, with Threads. Threads may have started as a way to capture people leaving Twitter after Elon Musk bought it, but it's now all grown up, it seems. The service has reached 500 million monthly active users, having added about 100 million since last August. Undoubtedly, its ties with Instagram have made it easier to jump to than other Twitter wannabes. But Meta says the recently launched communities feature has been driving a lot of the growth. To celebrate the...

Apple releases second developer betas of iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6

16 June 2026 @ 7:43 pm

Apple is working on iOS 27, but this doesn’t mean that work on the current iOS 26 version has stopped. In fact, iOS 26.5 came out a month ago, which was followed by 26.5.1 to fix a charging issue. Now there is iOS 26.6 on the way too. Currently, Apple is seeding the second developer beta for iOS 26.6 (build number 23G5043d), iPadOS (23G5043d), watchOS (23U5040d) and macOS (25G5043d). The release notes don’t mention any new features, so this appears to be just a round of polish. iOS 26.6 developer beta 1 included a security upgrade for Apple Maps. Also, it added a warning in the Contacts...

Verizon's $1 billion deal to improve network coverage faces resistance from regional carriers

16 June 2026 @ 6:31 pm

The FCC recently approved a $1 billion deal between Verizon and UScellular. The former purchased several cellular spectrums, which help the carrier strengthen its coverage in rural areas. The deal includes AWS-1, AWS-3 and PCS spectrum licenses covering roughly 8% of the US population. However, some people in the industry are opposing the deal and are asking the FCC to review its decision. The challenge is being led by the Rural Wireless Association (RWA), arguing that the deal is just part of a larger pattern of big carriers absorbing spectrum and cornering smaller businesses, which...

More details about the OnePlus 16's screen leak

16 June 2026 @ 2:06 pm

According to a new rumor from Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the OnePlus 16's screen will have a 185Hz refresh rate. The company was previously rumored to be testing going up to 240Hz, but it allegedly cancelled those plans as such a high refresh rate "could affect the display" and "may not be feasible for widespread adoption" (both phrases machine translated from Chinese, so there might be some accuracy issues). The display panel itself has already been ordered from China's BOE, and it will be a 6.78-inch size with "1.5K" resolution. Compared to the OnePlus 15's screen, it has higher...
