Twitter has an abuse problem and they know it, where trolls and bullies use the platform to target people they don’t like by tweeting at them and sending them unwanted messages. However the good news is that Twitter has made some changes to its DM feature that should help protect users from unwanted messages.

Basically users who receive messages from people that they don’t follow will no longer directly receive messages in their inbox. Instead these messages are collected and will appear as “Requests”, in which users will then have to approve these messages before they start receiving them directly.

According to Twitter, “If you have the Receive messages from anyone setting enabled, incoming messages from people you don’t follow will appear as Requests in the Messages tab. New group conversations that you’re added to by people you don’t follow will also appear in Requests. Entering the conversation, you will be asked to either Delete or Accept the message.”

If this sounds familiar, it is because Facebook also had such a feature that filtered messages from people they didn’t know or have never received messages from before. Twitter also states that deleting a message request doesn’t mean that you will stop receiving messages from that user, and that you will have to block them or mute them if that’s what you want. That being said, this new feature applies to users who have chosen to receive DMs from anyone. If you did not enable this feature then these requests do not apply to you.

You might recall that back in 2016 we talked about a certain device called FUSE that is basically a portable espresso machine that you can take with you on the go. Portable coffee makers aren’t new, but one of the differences with FUSE was that it offered users modular components to brew different styles of coffee.

However it seems that the project has undergone a revamp and the team is back with a new system, the FUSE Porta Rista (we’re assuming a play on the words “portable” and “barista”). The modular concept has been kept the same, but they have simplified its components into X, Y, and Z modules.

The X module will basically brew a shot of espresso and its pressure can be adjusted depending on your preference. The Y module is aimed at users who prefer pressed coffee, and the Z module is a combination of both a grinder and a dripper for those who prefer having dripped coffee.

If getting your hands on fresh coffee beans is difficult, not to worry as the FUSE Porta Rista will work with coffee pods such as Segafredo Zanetti, Boncafe, Nespresso, and Illy iperEspresso. There are also additional plans in the future to make more modules, such as a milk frother, a moka pot, and a flask. It’s an interesting setup and if you do like the idea of brewing a fresh cup of coffee when you’re out and about, perhaps the FUSE Porta Rista is a Kickstarter project you might want to invest in.

With the Nintendo Switch’s portable nature, we’re sure many gamers are wondering if they will ever see Pokemon arrive for the console. There have been some rumors in the past but nothing has been confirmed, and now it looks like perhaps it could be true, or at least to a certain degree.

According to Japanese retailer Sinobi, they have listed an arcade fighting stick for the Nintendo Switch and mentioned that the accessory is compatible with the Pokken Tournament. However it has since been noted that the post has been edited and that the reference made to Pokken Tournament has been removed.

Pokken Tournament, for those unfamiliar, is basically an arcade style fighting game with Pokemon characters, so if you’re more interested in duking it out that way versus more traditional Pokemon gameplay, Pokken Tournament is for you. The game has been released in arcades as well as for the Wii U, so really the notion of it being ported onto the Switch isn’t really that much of a stretch.

Nintendo has yet to announce or confirm anything, but the company is expected to make some announcements during E3 (separate of the event) so perhaps we will get more official details then. In the meantime is anyone else potentially excited about the idea of Pokken Tournament coming to the Switch?

These days camera manufacturers are all about squeezing in the latest specs like new camera sensors, faster autofocus systems, touchscreen displays, improved EVFs, and so on. However sometimes some photographers just want a camera that can withstand the extreme outdoors, and for this market segment, Nikon is gladly obliging.

The company has recently taken the wraps off its latest compact camera offering in the form of the Nikon Coolpix W300. This isn’t the first rugged compact camera that the company has released, but it is their latest. So what are we looking at here? For starters the W300 will come with a 16MP CMOS sensor, a 3-inch LCD display, NFC, WiFi, GPS, 4K video capture, and a 5x optical zoom lens.

As for its rugged features, the W300 claims to be waterproof of up to a depth of 30m, freezeproof when it comes to temperatures up to -10C, dustproof, and shockproof from drops at heights of up to 2.4m. This means that you’ll be able to take it with you to more extreme environments without worrying about it malfunctioning or breaking down.

It’s definitely not the best compact camera we’ve seen, but the W300 is clearly marketed at users who want something more rugged. It will be available this coming Summer where it will be priced at $389.95.

While the theme at Computex 2017 seems to be decreasing sizes of gaming computers, Dell is going in the opposite direction. A brand more associated with laptops, the Inspiron line is getting its first ever gaming desktop powered by Windows 10 and, surprisingly, AMD’s Ryzen CPUs. Also breaking the mold is an Inspiron all-in-one which crams enough power inside to … Continue reading
