His programming is only overridden if someone is carrying XWT Control, when he is programmed to prevent it from being taken off the Ship.

18 February 2026 @ 11:23 am

by Cuber01 Thank you for the answer. I like both of these periods a lot so it's hard for me to decide based on that alone, but I think I'll go with EiT2 because I disliked the random coup/war mechanics from TS and the rearmament tracks seems more interesting for taking different strategies. Maybe I'll buy EIT if I like EIT2 later on.

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.

Infinix Note 60 Pro unboxing and hands-on

18 February 2026 @ 8:02 am

This is the freshly announced Infinix Note 60 Pro, and it looks a lot like an iPhone 17 Pro Max. With that out of the way, let's do an unboxing. The phone ships with a generous helping of accessories - USB cable, 90W charger, USB earbuds, and a MagSafe-enabled case. Let's talk specs. The Infinix Note 60 Pro uses the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 SoC with a vapor chamber for cooling. Infinix says to expect up to 120fps in popular titles like Honor of Kings. The phone's 6,500mAh battery (some markets will get 6,000mAh) has bypass charging for gaming, too. Speaking of charging, you get 90W...

Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition is headed to global markets with a different name

18 February 2026 @ 7:00 am

If you've been wondering whether the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition (or Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica) is headed to international markets, we have some good news for you. The answer is yes, and this was recently confirmed by its certification in Thailand by NBTC. That has revealed that it's going to be offered under a different name though: it will be called Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi. That's a mouthful but it kind of makes sense - there have been three previous Leitz Phones so far, all exclusive to Japan, and so Leica seems to have given up on that line and replaced it with its...

Google Pixel 10a video ad leaks mere hours before the official unveiling

18 February 2026 @ 6:00 am

Google is finally making the oft-leaked Pixel 10a fully official in a matter of hours, on February 18. Ahead of that, an ad that Google will run for the device in France has now been outed, you can take a look below. French Pixel 10a ad.[image or embed]— Roland Quandt (@rquandt.bsky.social) February 17, 2026 at 6:56 PM As you can see, AI photo features get the first shoutout, followed by "30 h" battery life, whatever that means, and the colors are shown as well.

Infinix Note 60 and Note 60 Pro unveiled with vapor chambers, 6,000+ mAh batteries

18 February 2026 @ 5:00 am

Infinix is launching a new Note series with a vanilla and a Pro model. The Pro is the first Infinix phone to use a Snapdragon chip since 2019 and it features a vapor chamber to keep it cool. The Infinix Note 60 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, a 4nm chip from last year. It is paired with 8/12GB of RAM and 256GB storage. The 3D IceCore vapor chamber (4,758mm²) and 0.36mm copper sheet work together to reduce temperature by up to 3°C during intense gaming. Infinix Note 60 Pro The Pro also features an Active Matrix Display – a dot-style display on the camera island that...

Infinix Smart 20 retailer listing confirms more specs and pricing

18 February 2026 @ 2:11 am

Last month, the Infinix Smart 20 was spotted in the Google Play Console, and that revealed some of its specs. Now, the phone has been listed as up for sale by Lazada in the Philippines, complete with pricing. It's unclear if this represents the phone's actual launch or if it's a premature listing - the latter seems a tiny bit more probable since there are some typos as well as some missing info. Anyway, the phone is priced at PHP 4,499 (approximately $77) with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and PHP 5,830 (about $100) if you want 128GB of storage (the RAM stays the same). The phone...

Google is developing face unlocking tech on par with iPhone Face ID for the Pixel 11 family

17 February 2026 @ 11:11 pm

Google is rumored to be developing better face unlocking tech for both the Pixel 11 family and upcoming Chromebooks. This endeavor is internally codenamed Project Toscana. According to someone who allegedly tested it, it will work without any additional visible sensors on the Pixel phones. It's unclear if it's using infrared like iPhones do, but if it is, then the IR bits are hidden under the display (and Apple is rumored to be going the same route for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max). So basically everything looks the same as on a Pixel 10, but, importantly, the face unlocking works as well...

Rumor: iPad Pro series won't get a major update anytime soon

17 February 2026 @ 9:39 pm

According to a new rumor from China, Apple’s iPad Pro lineup may be left without a major update for years to come. Leaker Instant Digital believes the current M5 generation iPad Pro 13 and iPad Pro 11 are not going to get significant updates anytime soon. This rumor makes sense as Apple tends to wait a hefty amount of time before bringing any drastic changes to its Pro tablets. The iPad Pro received its first major redesign in 2018 with the Pro 11 (2018) and Pro 12.9 (2018) and then in 2024 with the M4 generation models. According to the new rumor, there are several factors at play,...

Samsung advertises the Galaxy S26 Ultra's low-light camera performance with an AI video

17 February 2026 @ 8:09 pm

Samsung recently teased the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra's low-light photography chops, and today the company's arm in the US has released a short video teasing the phone's low-light video recording capabilities. That's nothing out of the ordinary, but here's the thing - the teaser video itself was "generated with the assistance of AI tools", as the company's disclaimer clearly notes at the bottom. That's... interesting, to put it nicely. Why wouldn't Samsung just share a video captured in low-light conditions with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, if the idea is to tease how good it is at...

Dreame shows off gilded Aurora phone with three designs that are steeped in symbolism

17 February 2026 @ 6:48 pm

After smart rings and action cameras Dreame, a brand that got famous for its robotic vacuums, is expanding into the smartphone business. A couple of weeks ago at a launch event in Poland, the company showed off the Dreame RS1, Air1 and E1. Now the company’s Weibo account is posting images of a luxury Dreame Aurora that doesn’t seem to be based on any one of those three. The bejeweled, gold-covered design certainly screams “opulence”... or maybe it screams something else depending on your taste levels. There are three different designs to choose from, maybe you like one more than the...
